I make my way down to room 7 which is where detention is held and I turn the handle of the door. I wanted to just slip in and try not to draw any attention to myself but this is my life we're talking about, that will never happen.
The door makes the loudest creek known to man. I feel my life slipping away bit by bit.
As everyone stares at me, I walk to the only seat empty, next to Ben Thompson. The hottest person alive on this planet that is not Alex Turner, and did I mention McKenzie's ex boyfriend. Fun.
I sit down and throw my black backpack on the floor probably breaking everything useable in there.
I try to act 'cool' or as cool as someone like me can get around Ben as I don't really want him to think I'm a weirdo (which I am).
"So you punched McKenzie?" Ben asks me in a 'cool' tone
"Yeah. She was being a bitch so yeah I punched her" I say trying to say in a 'cool' tone but failing miserably.
He then does that half huff laughter half what a weirdo thing guys do. At this point I was thinking how come the teacher can't hear us? We are talking normally.
"Four words" he says."What?" I reply.
"Why he hasn't stopped us, headphones and crossy road" he tells me not looking up from the table. It's like he read my mind kind of, creepy.
Quack, quack. Quack, quack.
My phone goes off, great. Everyone turns to me except from the teacher who is engrossed in the most addictive game that isn't flappy bird.
I look at my phone. Three messages. I click on the first one which is from Iris;
'Hi girl,
My mum said you can sleepover on Saturday btw x Have fun at detention!'"Spoon?" Ben says to me half smiling half laughing.
"Err, yeah it's Iris" I say.
"Iris?" He replies confused.
"Oh erm, Iris Black"
"Oh, right she's in my English"
I slightly laugh, I don't really know why, neither did Ben.As the conversation dies down I remember I have two other messages. The next one is from my mum it reads;
'Hi, sweetie
I'm so sorry but I'm going to be late picking you up, about half an hour late.'I look up from my phone just to check that the teacher isn't looking, I don't even know his name. I've seen him around school but I don't know his name, he doesn't teach me.
"What's his name?" I ask Ben curiously.
"Mr Grayhem, he's my Spanish teacher" I take in what Ben said but I don't respond because I'm rude like that. I go to look at the last message.
"Ok, detention over go home" Mr Grayhem announces.
I grab my bag and go outside to wait for my mum. As I wait outside, I see Ben go in his car, as he's just about to go in the car he waves to me and shouts;
"You want a lift?""No my mums coming soon" lie. " see you tomorrow" lie.
"Bye" he shouts then gets in the car and his dad drives off down the busy highway. If your wondering why I lied about telling him my mum was coming soon is because I don't really fancy going in a car with the hottest guy in the school, and also why I lied about seeing him tomorrow. I'm not going to see him tomorrow since I'm not popular and he is and populars are a no go.
Five minutes later I realise I still had one message left, so I decided to read it, I unlock my phone to reveal the message is from my dad, who is dead.
