"That's today's lesson, any questions?"

Kenton rose his hand, "Yeah, I have a question, what happens if you fail the test?"

My teacher chuckled, walking up to Kenton's desk, slamming his hand onto his desk, "I don't need to answer because you will pass my test."

"Yeah, alright, we all know Kenton has the brain of a bird." A boy made a smug comment in the back, the class - including Kenton - snickering. I tapped my pen against the desk, not really finding their rude comments to Kenton amusing.

My teacher rolled his eyes, turning to me, "Well, even if you all fail this test, I know I can always count on Zoe." He smiled at me, the class filling with crickets.

I gulped, "Yeah, Zoe, you're gonna get that 200 percent, right?" Kenton teased me, the class snickering. I remained silent.

My teacher huffed, "Zoe has such potential, unlike you, Mr Shad. I'd shut your mouth before I put you and the rest of the class in detention."

"For picking on a girl who kisses your ass all day? That's funny Mr Daylights." The girl behind me laughed.

The class jumped when my teacher abruptly began screaming profanities at us, not caring if the class next door heard everything he could say. The class only laughed at Mr Daylights, making him even angrier.

"Detention for a month! All of you!"

The class laughter instantly came to a red light, making me smirk. The bell rang, and the class remained in their seats. Mr Daylights looked at me, "You're dismissed, Zoe. You did nothing wrong."

I gulped, slowly getting up as I plugged my earbuds into my ears. The class glared at me, my eyes wandering around at the different types of people. The kids with their feet on the desks, the kids that just chew gum, and the ones that just sit in a 'cool' position. I was the only nerd in this class.

Kenton rolled his eyes, "Teacher's pet. There she goes, off to kiss another ass." He muttered, the class giggling.

"Kenton, quiet."

"Mr Daylights," I put my books back down, "I insist you give me detention for a month instead of the class. They did nothing wrong."

"Zoe, they made fun of you-"

"I don't care, everybody does."

Mr Daylights shook his head, "No, you don't deserve detention-"

"Then I'll do something that'll make me deserve it!" I looked around the room, the class all pulling out their phones to record my soon to be embarrassing stunt just to get on Kenton's good side.

I grabbed the newest text book in the room, running for the window and tossing it out, the class all gasping as they ran for the window, all of us watching the text book fall from the fifth floor. It fell on the floor, the class laughing when somebody looked up to see where the textbook came from.

Mr Daylights shook his head, "Zoe, take a seat. The rest of you, go."

I never saw the classroom empty so quickly, mainly because I'm usually the first one out. I sat down in my seat, watching Kenton grab his stuff and rush to his friends before running for the door with them.

Mr Daylights sat at his desk, "Was that a stupid stunt for yours truly?"

I gulped, "Yes sir." As odd as it sounds, Mr Daylights found out on his own about my crush on Kenton. He claims he used "observation skills" and "read between the lines" whenever I would talk to Kenton.
