"How nice of you to finally join us" Mr Jones nags while pointing to Michael and I.
Michael and I were a bit late because we ended up mucking around the park.
"Well at least I showed" I mumbled.
"What was that?" Mr Jones raises his brows
"She said at least it didn't snow" Michael yells.
This guy is getting better and better by the minute.
"Whatever, sit down before I get you to come back tomorrow!" Mr Jones walks over to me.
"Can you give me some space please?" I step back before sitting down beside Michael.
"He's such an ass" I whisper to Michael.
"No talking in detention!" Mr jones yells.
I roll my eyes and slouch into my desk. I look at the clock 3:30, detention goes until 4:30. Well shit, this is going to be a long hour.
I sit silently in my chair when Michael taps me on the shoulder. He points over to Mr jones who was nearly asleep. I try to not laugh so loud.
"Wanna mix things up a little?" Michael whispers.
"Yeah like what?" I whisper back
There was about 7 other people in the class room. I didn't know any of them but I signalled them to stay quiet.
Michael walks over to The front desk where Mr Jones was now fast asleep. He starts to stick sticky notes all over Mr Jones's back without him noticing. I then get up and draw a penis with permanent marker on the white bored but cover it so it looks like a cat.
I try of to think of something more badass. But I can't.
"You should glue his car cars to the desk" Michael whispers.
As I do.
We quickly sit back down as the bell was about to ring.
*ring*
"Okay guys leave!" My jones yells without noticing anything.
I walk out after Michael.
"So Michael? See you tomorrow?" I ask.
"Yeah" he walks away.
Oh okay, thanks for the day. It's like he wanted to get away from me.
It takes me a while but I catch up to Michael just before he gets into his car.
"Wait Michael!" I yell.
"Look Barney, I had a great day but I think it's best if you just forget about me and move on with your life. I'm not the kind of guy you want to get involved with. I'm sorry I even spoke to you" he turns on his car and drives off.
What the fuck? Moody.
"Just forget about me"
I know we just met but like today was one of the best days of my life. Those words keep repeating in my head.
I try not to think of it too much so i just continue to walk home.

"Did you have detention?" My brother laughs.
"Yes!" I say excitability.
I live with brother as both our parents died last year. My brother is 21 so everything got left to him, including me. He's pretty cool but I hate his girlfriend. She was that typical blonde girl in school and she still hasn't grown out of that.
"Why?" My brother laughs.
"I told him to fuck off because he was being an ass" I explain.
"Good on ya!" He high fives me.
"Anyway I'm going up stairs, cya later Connor" I yell.
My bedroom is my private space. I usually don't let anyone in, well there's no one to let in anyway. I have my double bed under a high window with a bedside table beside it. My walls are covered in posters and my cupboard is overflowing of band t-shirts.
My parents death took a high toll on how I live. I used to be, well a good girl. I studied, got good grades and never did I get detention. I used to wear skirts with flowery tops and now i puke at that. I remember having some friends but when my parents died I pushed them away. All I wanted was to be alone.
After summer break I died my hair, ripped my jeans, pierced my nose and gained an attitude. My friends didn't even recognise me, which I didn't care because after a while they gave up on me which shows they weren't real friends anyway.
I can still be nice to people, but I choose just not to socialise with anyone. Most people really do suck.
I don't do crazy terrible things, I don't smoke or do drugs but if you give me a shot of vodka i wouldn't say no. I'm 17 so who cares anyway.
I go shower and put on some sweats and a band shirt. This time it's Blink 182.
I go down to the kitchen to find my brothers girlfriend, Paige standing there looking out the window. I didn't think she was coming over today.
I usually try to ignore her but I'm starving so I walk over to the fridge to find no food in there.
"It's okay I've already ordered pizza" she speaks up.
"Oh okay, what toppings?" I ask
"I got a veggie for me, a BBQ meat lovers for Connor and a BBQ chicken for you"
How the hell does she know my favourite pizza and why is she being so nice?
"After being with your brother for so long you kind of find out things" she laughs.
"Uh okay?" I raise my eyebrows. This is getting awkward.
"Can I ask you something Jess?" She sits on the counter.
"Like?" I lean on the fridge.
"What's it like being so..?"
"Being so.. What?"
"Different. Like I mean you used to be a lot like me and now you've like changed into this bad ass. Can you teach me how?"
Uh what. What the fuck is happening?
"Why?"
"I think Connor is falling out of love with me"
"Look, I think if Connor didn't like you no more he would of broke up with you ages ago, and secondly he likes you for who you are, so shut the fuck up" I nearly throw up at the words I was saying. "Anything else?"
"I'm pregnant" she blurts out.
