The Secrets Of Journey Reynolds

Chapter 4: Avoiding the Truth

The detentions consisted of Terrance and I sharing headphones to listen to My Chemical Romance while writing notes to each other.

For the one today, the four hour Saturday one, I wore my high-waisted, leather, flowing, black skirt that came down to about mid-thigh, along with my tight, black half-shirt. I wore a beanie over my wavy hair and socks that came up to my thigh, a few inches from my skirt's ending. I cleaned my Doc. Martins so they looked a bit newer and my makeup consisted of winged black eyeliner with dark eyeshadow and blood red lipstick. I have to say, I'm surprised I was allowed to leave the house.

"Grandma, I'm not going to be home right after the detention, I'm going to hang out with a friend," I said grabbing my phone and purse.

"Oh, okay dear, have fun," she replied with a smile. I kissed her cheek and waved goodbye to my grandfather as he waved back. And with that I left, jumping into my car and driving to the school.

Once I arrived I walked up to the school, noticing no one was here yet. The door was locked, the lights were off. Was I late? Or early? Where is everyone?

After about thirty minutes of waiting a car pulled up. It was Mr. Hex.

"Well hello miss Ja- I mean, Reynolds. You look rather nice today." He said as he approached me wearing a brimmed hat, bow tie, and suspenders.

"Hey Mr. Hex."

"Here for detention I'm guessing?"

"Yep..." I said drifting off with a sigh.

"But you're such a good student," he said looking at me while he unlocked the front door with a slight smile, "here we go."

I sighed and followed him into the school, joined by the roar of a motorcycle. We both turned to see that it was Terrance. His hair was in a knot on top of his head. He wore his leather jacket, a white t-shirt, black jeans, and combat boots. As always, he looked incredibly attractive.

He quickly hopped of his bike and ran into the school, stopping at my sight as a smirk grew on his face.

"Hey cu-" he was cut off by Mr. Hex motioning to keep moving towards the library where detention was always held.

"Come on Mr. Collins," he said sternly, "you don't want to add more time to your detention by being late."

"Of course, sir," Terrance replied with a slight chuckle in his voice causing me to laugh a bit, covering my mouth to hide it. Terrance must have saw because he smirked and winked at me.

"Can't wait for our date later," he whispered into my ear so the teacher wouldn't hear. I couldn't help but blush and smile at our closeness. He wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my cheek, making my face heat up, he smirked as he took his arm away and Mr. Hex turned around in front of the library doors.

"Miss Reynolds, you're all red, is something wrong?" His question made me blush more and made Terrance's smirk grow.

"N-no sir, everything's fine."

"Yep, completely fine," Terrance added and looked me up and down. I bit my lip trying to stop myself from smiling at him.

We all walked into the library and Terrance and I sat next to each other, while Mr. Hex sat at a desk in the front of the room, where the librarian normally sat. He read a book while we shared headphones once again and wrote notes:

"You kissed my cheek," I wrote first.

"I know"

"Why?"

"Cause I couldn't resist. If you wear that I'm gonna have to kiss you somewhere."

I smiled and blushed from his last words. Then I looked at him, he was already looking at me. We were so close. He was smirking at me which made my smile grow, but I panicked as he leaned in, "I'm uh...gonna nap...feel free to use my iPod and headphones," and with that I put my head in my arms on the table and tried to sleep.
