Cross My Heart I'm Dead

Chapter 15

----Alexis' POV----

It was History and remembering what had happened yesterday, I began to think of ditching but Derek somehow saw this and told me that I was stuck here until 3:40 so I just groaned and made my way to class. The four of us (Crystal, Matt, Derek and I) sat at the very back row and took up all the of the six seats. Matt had his feet propped up on the chair next to him and Crystal had her's on the desk in front of her. None of us liked school and none of us payed attention in the lessons.  I was at my usual seat with one ear plug in and listening to The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy. Derek was sitting next to me with Crystal on his other side and he was explaining the truth behind why we were here. Or why he and Matt were here.

"Wow, I'm so sorry Al." Crystal gave me a sad smile but I just shrugged pretending it didn't bother me even though it was killing me inside. All three of them knew that but no one said anything about it as it was my weird way of getting it off my mind. What's better; worrying or being relaxed? Relaxed, obviously. Without a chance to reply or even talk, the teacher walked in the class and glared at Matt and then over to me.

"I trust you two haven't forgot about detention?" The whole class turned around to face us as the memories of the fight yesterday entered my mind, I smirked and Matt eyed them as they all quickly turned away from his 'scary' gaze.

"Wow, detention already?" Crystal turned to Matt but in the corner of my eye I couldn't help but notice the girl from yesterday - what's her name again? - was looking away in fear and her head in her arms. 

"Oh shut up. Why are you in this class anyway?" We all turned to her as she had followed me into my class, as in the class for a lower year.

"No talking! But I do believe you are in the next History class." The teacher spoke up and I turned to Crystal.

"I can show you where it is." I smiled at my chance to escape this boring class and she said thanks as she got her things.

"Fine but Alexis, if you aren't back in ten minutes I'll put you in detention."

"If I'm not back in 10 minutes then I would have already died by the boredom this school provides," I smirked and Derek seemed a little amused by the way I talked to the teacher.

"That's it, detention. RIGHT NOW." She yelled the last part and I heard Derek and Matt burst into laughter. "If you two aren't careful you will join her." I just walked off out of class with Crystal in front of me.

"It's like you want to get in to trouble," she sighed.

"I do." I smirked then stopped walking. "The class was just next door but we can walk around then go in, if you get in trouble I'll say it was my fault."

"Wow. Thanks." She hugged me and I laughed as we walked off into the empty corridors. 

We had been talking and walking for 20 minutes so it was now half way through History. Yay for Crystal. I wonder what Matt and Derek are doing as I'm not in the class and they don't really go to school here which means there's no point for them to study.

"Crystal Byre, care to explain why you're late?" The teacher asked but then he noticed me and rolled his eyes which caused me to smirk.

"Sorry sir, my fault." I glanced over at Drake who just shook his head at me and chuckled.

"Well detention for you then. Making a student late to her third lesson." 

I groaned. "Really? That's like 6 detentions in only two days. No where near my high-score." I added the last part on with a devious smirk and Crystal told me to shut up. I walked off without even caring about the detention I got for no real reason. Crystal sat in an empty seat next to Drake and I told her to say she was an old friend of mine. I told her about Drake as she really didn't no anyone else since she was hanging out with us three. I walked over to the detention room that I was told to go to by my own history teacher but seeing as there was no teacher and no sign of one showing up I went back to my History class and waited out the door. The doors all had glass windows on so you could see inside the class and of course, I used this to annoy Matt and Derek. I texted Matt to say that I was free and he was stuck in medieval times and as soon as he saw where I was, I started to pull faces but Derek just smiled and shook his head.
