I walk into the school, I was gonna be late if I didn't go any faster, I run to my locker and pick out my history book, run to class and sit at the first seat I saw,

"Satella, you're late." The teacher gives me a detention paper. whenever you were late, or did something wrong, the teacher would give you a paper that you would give them after class, if you didn't give it to them, they would double your detention when they find out. (This is actually a rule in my school so 💀💀)

I sigh and lean back on my chair, it was so unlike me to get detention... this is so pathetic.

As I get lost in my thoughts, I see a guy with black hair, green mohawk, in black baggy clothes and black sunglasses. He had tattoos and piercings, and he was also 7 minutes late

"Look who finally decided to show up. Tarun, detention." The teacher writes him a note aswell

"Pf- as if." He mutters then rips the paper and puts it in his pocket... he takes the only seat available, next to me.

"I saw that." I look at him, he starts to grin

"Why would do that? You'll get into more trouble." I roll my eyes, his grin grows and he finally speaks

"So? Never thought you cared, princess." I rolled my eyes, I started to get a bit red.

"Uh- i dont! Dont be so full of yourself. I follow the rules and you should too." I roll my eyes again, a bit proud of my save. "And dont call me 'princess'."

"Whatever." He looks away and starts to fidget with his pen, the annoying clacking was driving me crazy, I wanna tell him off but I don't want to seem like I'm nagging,

I'm so glad it's Saturday tomorrow, me and Bridgette were gonna have a sleepover, then on Sunday she has a date with Geoff, so I'm gonna be all alone again,

The teacher was talking about something, I had chemistry 2nd period, i don't really mind it but it's a bit boring since none of my friends were in thee same class.

"Oh wait, aren't you my chemistry partner? Uhm that uhhhh," He thinks. I knew he looked familiar, Duncan Tarun. He was my chemistry partner on a project, "oh, you're that guy that lit up the whole lab, right?" He frowns "maybe."

He looked away again, lmao, Duncan was once smoking in the middle of class, he threw away the cigarette as the teacher almost caught him, he threw the LIT cigarette at the paper calendar. The room caught on fire and he got suspended for 2 weeks

I've always wondered what it was like to be... trouble. Was it fun? Probably not, getting in trouble is actually the worst thing I can ever think of. I wanted to ask him about it, but I didn't want the teacher to mistake us as talking between class, I'd get into so much more trouble.

detention is so disappointing and so definitely is out of character for me. How will I ever get into Harvard if I'm in and out of detention 24/7?? No way. I'm gonna get a ride from Heather tomorrow so I'm not late,

Which again, is probably a bad idea as she's not even here yet, I told her going to a late party on a school night was a bad idea, but what do I know?

Talking about Heather, she still owes me 20 dollars. She promised she'd take me out for dinner because her parents were out and gave her 700$ to blow for the week, which is an ridiculous amount of money, shes genuinely so spoiled, not gonna lie. But then, she told me she bought a expensive handbag and didn't have anymore money... so we agreed that if she could get me a job where she worked,

It was a small, typical, cozy diner. I have been saving up to buy myself a new MacBook as mine was outdated and didn't work properly anymore, so I've been saving up for atleast 2 weeks now.

I notice Duncan.. taking notes?? I can't believe this, this actually such a rare occurrence! This needs to be photographed, documented, and framed in a museum. I look over to see what he was writing, which he noticed and quickly pulled the paper he was writing on before I could read it, I roll my eyes and start to mind my own business again.

[Duncans pov]

Princess was trying to read the note I was gonna pass to Geoff, but since I'm so attentive, I noticed and hid it before she read any. She rolled her eyes at me and minded her own business.

I quickly finish the note and pass it to Geoff. He reads the letter and writes back quickly passing it back, we both just went back and forth passing it. Surprisingly the teacher didn't catch us

The note :

(Dont mind the horrible handwriting i wanted it to fit Duncane writing but got too much into character and started getting lazy writing 😭)

This was so annoying, and he actually suggested I seek help from Courtney out of all people. But since he didn't leave me with any other choice. I might just will ask uer for help.... not that I need her ofc.

"Pst. Pstt. Pstt!" I tap her and she looks at me annoyed

"What." She says In a cold and annoyed tone. "Can you lend me your notes?" She rolls her eyes "ugh, whatever. Fine. If it makes you to stop bothering me, sure whatever." She rolls her eyes again. but, Holy shit, she actually said yes. Now I get to lean back and let her do the note copying.

Courtney being nice to me is actually so rare, but hey. Beggars can't be choosers, right? Atleast I don't have to do the work anymore.

I start to doodle on the textbook as the teacher suddenly paused "Alright, im gonna guess that everyone listened, so we're gonna do a small test, no open notes. Pure memory, but don't worry, there's only 10 questions" 10 QUESTIONS?? NO OPEN NOTES?? FUCK IM DEAD.

"Can i copy from you?..." I ask Courtney, she shakes her head no, i sigh and practically melt into my Seat. I'm so dead, why even try, I'm gonna be doing innie Minnie moo the whole time anyway.

-time skip, after the test. 20 minutes into checking and 5 minutes away from 2nd period.-

"Alright class, since it was an easy test, people with the score 5 and below have to stay and clean. Ill start calling out names with their scores. If i call your name and your score is above 5, u may go." As the teacher started to call out the names, I already know I was gonna stay and clean. Fuck.

"Courtney Satella, 10/10. Good job, didnt expect anything lower. Duncan Tarun, 6/10. An alright score." Did I hear that right? I passed?? WOOHOO I PASSED.

Courtney rolls her eyes at me as she picks up her book, I bolt out the classroom.
