It was getting warmer and water out in Texas everyday. I didn't like it because I still had to wear long sleeves because my cuts aren't fully healed yet. They won't be for a while..

Well, anyways, I was walking to school on a Tuesday, listening to music, not paying much attention to my surroundings. It was a routine by now. Once I got on campus I turned off my music, put my old iPod in my bag, and slipped through the door, trying to be unnoticed. But once I got inside, I wasn't watching where I was going and I bumped into someone.

"Watch where you're going, loser!" I heard the school whore, Bianca, screech at me. Her little group laughed at me since I fell on the floor.

I began picking up my belongings that I had dropped once the whore-squad started walking away. As I stood up, the late bell rang. "Great," I muttered to myself as I hurried onto 1st hour.

"Why are you late, Miss DuVall?" Mrs. Brown spat. "I dropped my things in the hallway, Mrs." I said as I lowered my head, sending my hair in a waterfall around my face. "Detention. Now sit." she said coldly. "Yes, ma'am." I said as I hurried off to a seat in the back. I heard a few snickers as I did this.

| Detention |

I walked into the detention room and took a seat. Lloyd was here too.. So surprised.. Note my sarcasm.

I got bored within 5 minutes so I took out my homework and decided to do it.. After about maybe 10 minutes after I started doing my homework, I felt a pair of eyes watching me. I looked over at Lloyd and he wasn't looking at me, so I looked over at Mrs. Brown and she was asleep. "Weird," I thought to myself.

After another 10 minutes I felt a pair of eyes on me once again. This time when I looked over at Lloyd, he was smiling at me. Not that intimidating kind of smile he always has, but a pleasant one. I gave a faint grin back and went back to my homework.

Once I finished that, I glanced up at the clock and saw I still had 45 minutes left. I decided to put my head down and rest.

I heard a ball of paper land on my desk so I lifted my head up and reached for the paper. I uncrumbled it from the ball it was in and read it. "Hi. -Lloyd" it said. "Hello.." I wrote back.

We kinda kept writing notes back and forth until detention ended.

Once detention ended I waves bye to Lloyd and started making my way off campus. As I started walking down the sidewalk, I heard footsteps running to catch up to me. I turned and saw Lloyd. "What on earth are you doing?" I asked him, probably looking at him like he was a crazy man. Lloyd shrugged and said, "I just wanted to walk you home I guess."

We talked about school and stuff for most of the time but then he asked a question I didn't think he would. "Why are you always wearing long sleeves even when it's 90 some degrees out?" I shifted uncomfortably. I really didn't wanna reveal something so... personal to a popular guy like Lloyd. It made me kind of paranoid. "I just like long sleeves, I guess." I could tell he knew I was lying but he just nodded and didn't say anything else for the rest of the walk home.

As I arrived to my house, I turned and looked at him. "Well it was nice talking to you, Lloyd." I reached out my hand for him to shake, but he hugged me instead. I think my sleeve slipped up a little because looked at where he was looking and he was eyeballing my wrists.. I pulled away and hurried inside before he could say anything.
