"Right, the first week of the school year and already, all of you have had a detention... well apart from Sebastian whose had 4." A boy with brown flattened hair and a Nike jumper under his blazer, suddenly jumps up and bows.
"Thank you, thank you." He says, facing everyone.
"Alright, thank you Sebastian. I want you all to take this time to reflect on what you've done so I would like you all to write a 500 world essay about why you feel you're in here."
"I'm sorry miss, but my hand goes achy whenever I write too much, it's called l-"
"Yes, I know what excuses means, and if it's going to bother you that much, I'll see if I can borrow one of Miss Cooper's laptops." She stares at the class and sighs, walking out.
"Oh not this again 'Sebastian', you tried the same thing last year on Mr Maddox, and he threw the laptop at the wall. Georgie, the only reason why she's in here is because she decided to break Mathew Gildon's locker because he was being sexist. She's nice though. And quiet.
"Shut up locker girl." She suddenly gets out of her seat and storms over to his desk.
"What did you just say!?" Sebastian laughs and throws a pencil at her.
"Georgie! Leave it it's fine!" Danny says, running over and stopping her.
"Fine." She slouches back down on her chair and folds her arms.
"So, why are you all in here?" Leo Finnegan asks, "Seb?"
"Laughed at Miss Nelson because she was crying about her divorce."
"Your sick." Georgie says, smirking.
"OKAY! We know why you were in here, love you for that," Leo starts again, "Erm... Penny?"
"I put on lip balm and the headteacher thought it was lip stick, bloody well stupid. Now what about you, Leonardo?"
"I was skating in the corridors and I banged into Charlie Jones even though he was sat on the floor." There's a girl at the back with headphones over her ears.
"What about you Victoria?" Sebastian smirks.
"It's Vicky... Mrs Denton caught me smoking by the bins."
"Wow, shocker."
"Oh leave her alone Seb!" Georgie shouts. Victoria stands up, grabs her bag and walks towards the door.
"Where you going?"
"If miss asks, bathroom." She says.
"And what are you actually doing?" Leo asks. She holds up a cigarette packet and rattles it. She storms out, trying not to trip up on a step outside the door.
"What a weirdo. Danny? How about you?" Sebastian asks again.
"It was my 3rd time being late because I... overslept."
"Sureeee you did." Leo snickers.
"What?"
"We all know your dating Penny, it's not a secret anymore."
"Why did you even care Seb?" Penny says, pulling her notebook out of her bag. Miss Thompson suddenly comes back in the room and hands Sebastian the spare laptop.
"I can hear you guys talking from 7a so I want you all to shut up and start writing... NOW!" Sebastian coughs and looks at Danny. He's already writing his essay.
"Ugh." He grunts, opening up the laptop.
"Oh dam- sugar, I forgot to do the register, Ms Donald is going to murder me," she rushes into her drawer and grabs the clipboard with the register, "Danny?"
"Here."
"Penny?"
"Here!"
"Leonardo?"
"Here miss."
"Georgie?"
"Present."
"Victoria?" There was no answer, "Victoria? Vicky?"
"Oh... she's in the bathroom, sorry miss we thought it would be okay she'll only be 2 minutes." Georgie says before Sebastian can utter something stupid.
"Okay fine. She could have waited but anyway... and Sebastian?"
"Wassup miss."
"So you are here." She scoffs and copies the list onto her laptop.
Fourty-five minutes pass and the detention bell goes off.
"Right everyone, make sure you have finished your essay's by tomorrow and you hand them in second period, you're excused." They all pack up their stuff and walk out. Danny kisses Penny's head and they walk off to the parking lot.
"Aw Seb, not got Juliet to make out with." Leo jokes.
"Shut up gay boy, I'm seeing her tomorrow. What about your love life, got any girlfriends... oops sorry. Boyfriends?" Leo rolls his eyes and grabs his skateboard from behind the bins.
"Hey 'George'."
"Oh stop being an asshole for just one day."
"Is that really the best comeback you can come up with?" She laughs and walks out of the school gates, "Whatever."
He grabs his phone out of his blazer pocket and suddenly looks around.
"Where the hell is Victoria?"
