So we basically missed 5th period and now we have detention together. Usually, it's something like ISS or something of the sort but they seemed to have thought we were doing something......dirty. So now it seems like we're inseparable, but there's one down side. I don't even know his name, and I'm too shy to ask.
"Ok, so since both our names start with A's, we can be the Aces!" At first, this guy was as shy as me. Or so I thought. He's outgoing, and very hyper. My complete opposite. But you know, as they say, opposites attract! Not in that way but I guess we mellow each other out.
"Your name starts with an A?" I asked, confused by his earlier statement. He looked at me strangely, as if I should have read his mind to figure that out.
"Didn't I already tell you? It's Alex. Alex Spencer." He said. I don't know why, but it sent shivers down my spine. "Hey are you cold, Alice?" I nodded slightly. He took off his jacket and put it on me.
"No, Alex! I'm fine! I have a jacket in my locker to wear!" I yelled, trying to give it back.
He shook his head. "Then let's switch sweatshirts for today!" I simply refused to do this.
"But my jacket's too girly!" I shot back. I'm not letting him win this war.
"What are you talking about? It's white. With a skeleton playing a guitar. And thorns. You can't tell me that's girly!" He said. Well, he has a good point. In my defense, I am a tomboy.
"Of course you would know just about every detail of my jacket you stalker." I mumbled, just giving up and welcoming the jacket. I didn't think he would let me win this.
"Hmph. I am not a stalker! I'm your stalker. He said, getting close. I blushed. Ugh, He is just soooooo hot." He said, at first mimicking my thoughts. The only thing is, instead of thinking he was hot, I was thinking that I've never been this close to anyone before, let alone a boy.

We walked down the hall with our hoods up, and our heads down. Me, in his black jacket, and him in my white one. We knew our recent....alliance, you could say, had not gone ignored. The fact that the harassment continued, only stronger, would have normally cause my stress level wall to burst, but it only stressed me out a little. I haven't the slightest idea why.
"Oh my god. Look at them, it's two freaks; together."
"Ugh, did they have an alliance, or something?"
"Aww, are they dating?" SMACK! "OWWW!"
That last one made me blush, and I could just feel Alex smirking at me. Seeing as we ignored the other comments, I thought they would just quit. But that, of course wasn't the case. "Where do you think you're going? Don't you two have detention?" Mr. Schemner said, stopping us. We nodded and followed him to the detention room. I thought it would just be a normal classroom but I was dead wrong.
We were strictly locked in a padded white room, and we had to sit on the floor. "We will not watch you, but you are under surveillance." I jumped at the voice coming from all around.
"So what do we do?" I asked Alex. We looked at each other and smirked.
"Maybe we should, oh, I dunno, bounce off the walls?" He suggested, an evil glint in his eyes. I gave him a sideways glance.
"Why are we in a padded room anyways? Does that mean this school really is a mental institution?" I asked with no real interest in my hollow voice. He shrugged.
