Chapter Nineteen

Jesse is now on the ground, groaning in pain. His white blonde hair was messed up and sweaty. Some of his hair had blood on it. His nose was bleeding and his eyes were half closed. Nobody had seen us because it was a corner.

I looked at him and immediately felt guilty. I don't know for what. But I did.

"Oh my god what did you do?" I asked Chris.

"Well he was troubling you" Chris replied casually coming towards me.

The scene of Jesse like that on the ground almost scared me.

"He...he was...but...." I couldn't say anything. This was scary and I felt guilty. Really guilty.

"C'mon let's go" Chris said.

I look back at him. "No let's drop him to the infirmy."

"No its fine babe, he will be fine" Chris said.

"No please just let me" I said and go towards Jesse.

I picked him up with difficulty. God he was heavy! Chris joined me and we both lead him to the infiarmy.

As we were crossing the ground, the students looked towards us. Everyone was stopping their activities and looking our way.

We both dropped him to the infiarmy and I walked away not saying anything to Chris.

I needed some time alone to process what just happened. It all happened at once and I still was dazed. I went and sat down on one of the benches in the ground.

The semi cold wind blew through my dark messy hair blowing it to my face. I ignored the weird stares I got from people as they walked by. A series of questions ran across my head.

Why had Jesse done what he had done? Why had Chris punched him? Did Jesse do it because he liked me? No he couldn't he hardly knew me. Maybe he just wanted me to be his one night thing. What about Chris? Did they hate each other or did he do that for me?

The image of Jesse lying on the ground with so much blood on his face made me feel more guilty. Then I realized that someone was sitting beside me. I looked beside me.

Connor was sitting next to me quietly looking at me. Not creepily but in a concerned way.

"Chris has been given detention today." Connor said quietly.

I didn't say anything. It was because of me he got detention. This was not helping me but making me feel way more guilty.

"What happened? You know why he got detention don't you?"

"Jesse, a senior was trying to kiss me and Chris came and punched the shit out of him." I said slowly.

"Wow...the things my brother can do." Connor said.

I smile at him and he smiles back at him. There was something heavy in the air around us like he was hiding something from me and I of course was hiding everything from him.

"Let's do something. I have never experienced detention, let's do something that makes us get detention." I said trying to cheer up the air around us.

His eyes widened. "God you naughty little girl. What do you wanna do?"

"Let's prank a teacher. Right now." I said looking around. "That one seems fine." I said pointing at a teacher at a distance, she was wearing a black skirt and a red blouse. She was our science teacher.

"Oh god please forgive me!" Connor says and gets up.

I get up too, "Don't worry even if you go to hell you will have us there, you won't have any of your friends in heaven."

He laughed. His eyes now glinted with mischief. We both ran towards the teacher.

"Um miss I've decided my career when I grow up" I said coming up to her.

Connor was standing at a distance acting as he was standing alone thinking about something.

"What dear?" She asked.

"I wanna be a coffee seller in some coffee shop." I said innocently.

And just as planned Connor started coughing hysterically. Then he held his neck and fell down on the ground.

I gasped, "Connor, oh my god what's wrong? Miss can you help me?"

The teacher come towards me and bends down to see Connor.

"Hey drink water c'mon" she said.

Connor coughed more and when she tried to give him water he spit it out.

"Drink it" she insisted.

"Miss it has poison I'm dying, help" he says dramatically.

Some students have gathered around us whispering to each other. God I could just laugh any moment.

"No it doesn't contain poison. Why would I want to kill you?" Miss said.

"Oh my god you thought of killing me" Connor coughed, "I'll complain to the school if I'm alive"

After saying these words he slowly closes his eyes and lies down still.

"Oh my god Connor wake up! Miss what have you done! You killed my fiancé" I said looking at her.

Her face was priceless. She looked horrified. She suddenly broke down.

"I'm so sorry dear, I never knew it had poison I'm sorry" she sniffed.

I couldn't hold my laughter any longer and it seemed Connor couldn't either. We both burst out laughing. God it was hilarious. All the kids around were confused.

The teacher seemed even more shocked. She had stopped crying.

"You both...you both get detention for threatening the teacher." Miss said.

"But miss we didn't threaten you." I said innocently.

"If you don't show up for detention today you both will be suspended." She said and walked away.

Connor and I looked at each other and burst out laughing all over again.

After school during detention

"Hi its the cool party" Connor says entering the class dramatically.

I rolled my eyes at him and entered after him. Chris was sitting there looking at us in amusement.

"What?" I asked sitting down beside him.

"Why did you guys get detention?" He asks.

Connor and I start laughing. Laughing at what we had done.

"Tell me please." He says.

We laugh more and tell him the story.

"I'm so sorry I never knew it had poison" I mimick.

Chris and Connor start laughing again. The teacher enters the class and gives us disgusted looks.

"No talking" she said.

We all start laughing again. And the please keep quite and laughing thing went on.
