The rest of the day went by in a flash and before I knew it, I was walking down to Mr.Kane's room for detention.

When I entered the room, Hayes was already seated and I noticed that no one else was there. Great.

"There will be no talking," Mr.Kane informed, "and you will remain seated until detention is over.... and since I feel like being a nice person today, I will allow you to read a book from my library. I will be in a meeting, and I'll be back 10 minutes before the conclusion of detention. Behave yourselves."

And with that, he rushed out of the room without another word.

"Hey Abby," Hayes called out.

Ignoring him, I stood up and grabbed Mockingjay from the bookshelf. I walked back over to my seat and began to read.

Hayes creeped over to the seat next to mine and stared at me.

I looked up and asked him, "What do you want this time?"

He chuckled, "Are you seriously reading  right now?"

I glanced over at him setting the book down and replied, "What else do you want me to do?"

"Talk," he stammered, "I gotta ask you a favor.

I nodded my head, hinting for him to continue.

"Do my Spanish homework?" He asked with a puppy dog face.

"Ugh no, as if," I say picking my book back up.

"Damn. Fine," he says sassily.

I continue reading, pretending that Hayes wasn't even here.

-"But no one is returning except me. And that's only for a brief visit. The authorities in District 13 were against my coming back. They viewed it as a costly and pointless venture, given that at least a dozen invisible hovercraft are circling overhead for my protection and there's no intelligence to be gained. I had to see it, though. So much so that I made it a condition of my-----"

**THUD**

I look over to see that Hayes fell out of his chair.

"HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA."

Hayes rolls his eyes, "Shut up, that hurt my back."

I cannot control my laughter. I finally stop when Hayes takes my notebook.

"Hayes Benjamin Grier, give it back!!!!" I yell still with a glint of laughter in my voice.

"You gotta come get it," he says while waving the book in front of my nose.

With that gesture, I chase after him, around and around and around the room.

I finally reach my arm out in front of him and get only two fingers on the book before he yanks it the other direction causing both of us to fall over.

I land awkwardly on top of him and continue laughing until he remarks, "This hurts my dick." I quickly roll off of him and he continues, "But you didn't have to get off."

I roll my eyes and playfully slap him before heading over to my seat. Hayes followed me as he sat back down right as Mr.Kane entered the room.

"You are released early," he announces, "now beat it."

I quickly stand up from my seat and walk through the door. I walk down the hallways until I reach the front of the school where I exit, and sit on a bench where I wait to be picked up.

I already texted my mom during lunch that I had after school detention, and she didn't mind. She told me she would be there to pick me up 20 minutes before it ended, because her work ended early.

I looked up at Hayes who hopped into his car and turned on the ignition.

Hayes is older than most freshmans; he already has his license. This is because he took an extra year of preschool or something.

He occasionally takes the bus just to be with his friends. Lame.

"Have a ride Hadlem?" Hayes asks me as he lowers his dark sunglasses, covering his eyes.

"Doesn't look like it," he replies, "I can give you a lift."

I sigh realizing my mom isn't going to come, and without responding, I walk over to his navy jeep.

He smirks as I open the door and sink down into the comforting seat.

He then turns on the radio, and Nasty Freestyle comes on.

"HELL YA!" I yell as I blast the song singing along with it.

--"Ya say Roro, you know I did it right?

Who is Rickey Wayne the mixtape

Ya feel me?

First let me hop out the motherfucking Porsche

I don't want her if that ass don't sit like a horse

I be balling on these n***** got me feeling like sports

Dash got so much wood I could build me a fort

Ain't too many things I ain't done yet

I'm the king of this shit

Crowned by the toilet

I'm just barely getting started

You already upset

Got a tiger as a pet

I just took him to the vet

Homie I be making hits

I'm the rap Derek Jeter

Let your bitch ride on me

Like she was on a feeder

If the pussy ain't good

Then I probably won't feed her

Lil homie you can keep her--"

"Damn Abby," Hayes says smiling.

"YOU RUINED MY MOMENT," I yelled over the music.

"Hahahah who knew you could rap like that," he laughs, "Pretty impressive."

I laugh and turn down the music, "I practice sometimes."

He rolls his eyes as he pulls into my driveway.

"See you tomorrow bitch," he says.

"Unfortunately," I reply as I slam the door and flick him off before closing my front door.
