Falling Apart

Detention

"You need me in your office?" I repeat the words he just said making me sound stupid.

Before Principle Johnson can answer Evan excuses himself and leaves. As he left I stared at him walking still amazed at what happened. I mean I'm not complaining but what the hell just happened?!!

"Yes I need you in my office. I need to talk to you,"

I stare at him and respond hesitantly,"Okay."

"Follow me."

I stay quiet as we walk to his office. It seems to take longer than it should and my head starts to spin. I mean what can be so important that he needed to walk all the way to find me?

We finally arrived his office and he opens the door and I step in. I look around and stare at the brown wooden wall and for strange reason I can't stop. I shake my head and look over at his desk where his computer was placed in the center and a lot of papers on both sides of the desk. I notice a picture frame with him and a woman. Oh and a baby!! They looked so cute, I assumed it was his family. They seemed happy. I smiled a bit and it soon fade away as I think about how my own family is. I push the thought away as Principle Johnson started to speak.

"You will have stay after school today. You have detention."

"Detention?" I asked shocked. What did I do?

"Yes detention and we might as well add another day. "

"But why?! I didn't do anything!" I defended myself, this was crazy.

"You don't need a reason. You have detention and you'll have to stay four two more hours today." He said calmly while looking for something on his desk.

"I don't need a reason?!I didn't do anything! You can't just give me detention for no reason! That's insane!"

"Another it is then."

"Wha-?! What!?"

"Miss Crystal, please stop raising you're in my office. I need you to take this papers and leave my room."

"Why-why would you do this?! You know I didn't do anything!"

"I know nothing!" He's eyes started to get red and watery and his face flushed in anger," Now take this paper and get out of my office! If I give you detention, you go to the damn detention!You don't have to know why! I know what I'm doing!"

Okay, giving me detention ( even if I never got any) is one thing, but having no reason behind it is stupid! I won't sit here for two hours! Do you know what people do in detentions?! Well let's just say, there's gum and there's desks. Talk about disgusting.

I get so mad, I take the papers from him forcefully and storm out of the room and rip the papers while I make my way to class.

Hours pass and the last period is almost over and the madness in my mind still hasn't disappeared. I'm even more mad now.

Everyone starts to pack up and I get even more upset. I can't believe I have to go through another two hours. Two hours I think to myself. I groan in anger and stay in my sit and watch everyone else leave. I catch Evan trying to pass get out of the class. He doesn't even say anything. He doesn't even look at me. He just looked down and wait a bit for him to sneak out. He's not even going to ask what I was doing here? He wasn't even going to ask why I was called by the principle and why I looked so upset?! He wasn't even going to look at me?!!! What this!?

He finally got a chance to fully get out of the room and I stare at him as he walk away still looking down until he's out of sight.

My teacher, Mrs. Carmen, packs up her stuff and starts to leave. What she's not staying? Then who's staying with me?

"Excuse me! Mrs. Carmen!"

She looked back at me and smiles, " Yes, honey?"

"Um..you're not staying today?" I ask.

"Uh, no honey. For the next few weeks some other lady will be taking care of detention. "

"Oh," is I can say as I sigh and look at the ground.

"Talking about detention, why are you here for? You never get detention." She looked shocked and honestly I was just as shocked as she was.

"I know, " I sighed again and I could feel the anger rising. " I don't know why I'm here. I just got one earlier today and I have no idea why."

"That's very strange." She smiled a small smile before waving goodbye and walking out the room.

I look around the classroom and take in the silence. I would actually have loved it if no one came but that couldn't possible happen. I reach out for my phone in my pocket to distract myself but it died. What great timing. I put it back inside my pocket and lay my head on the desk.

The silence was making me think over my life. It seemed great so far. Note the sarcasm. Everything was fabulous. Just fabulous.

I hear the door open and there's light few steps forward and a small laugh.

I know that laugh.

Oh shit.
