We sat there in stone silence.
Just like that, for what seemed like an eternity.
“This is all your fault.”, Chase muttered.
“That’s funny, cause I remember you actually starting it.”, I spat.
We bickered for who knows how long, sitting their back to back, tied down to two plastic chairs, facing opposite directions.
“That’s funny cause I remember you tackling me.”, He snorted.
“That’s funny cause I remember you actually not minding.”, I retorted.
“That’s funny cause you’re clearly blind.”, He spoke.
“That’s funny cause I remember you actually-“
The door slammed open. Principal Walsh walked in, accompanied by the two men that had so kindly ‘escorted’ us out.
“Oh, look what you did.”, Mason uttered.
I tried to kick him under the seat.
“You, children, are a complete and utter disgrace! Not only causing a huge disruption and outburst, but also making this school’s silent auction fundraiser the hugest mockery of the century. ON THAT NOTE, Not only did we lose respect, but also a great deal of money we could have donated to charity. Your little “commotion” or “spat”, shall I call it, has earned both of you two weeks of detention, going into effect immediately. You are suspended from school tomorrow and are to report to my office for a full day of community service hours, as you will need them after destroying your permanent records.”
“But-“, I started
“You will return to school in 2 days. No buts. What you did was unacceptable. Boys your age should not be screaming such profanities and inappropriate things to each other. AND IN PUBLIC, nonetheless. You two are despicable. I’m leaving you two here, unless you work together and find a way out yourself. Otherwise, I’ll see you two back here tomorrow. ”,Principal Walsh walked out of the white room, leaving us behind, disappointment written across his face.
“I’m screwed.”, I spoke.
“Oh suck it up. It’s no big deal.”, I could hear the annoyance in CHase’s voice from the other side.
“My Dad’s gonna get a call. And the only time I actually liked a school…This is all over. I’m gone.”, I cried openly.
“Um, it’ll be okay. I promise?”, Chase spoke awkwardly.
“SOMEONE UNTIE ME!”, I screamed.
“Shhh!”, Chase tried to sooth my hysterical self.
“Don’t tell me to ‘sh’, MY LIFE IS OVER. I can say goodbye to my golden ivy-league college path. I might as well just sign up for a job at McDonalds RIGHT NOW.”, I hollered, bawling my eyes out.
“SHUTUP you big baby!”, Chase whipped his leg back, effectively kicking me from under the seat.
“Ow! How did you do that?”, I looked around anxiously.
“Just sh. I’ve got this covered, and I’ll get us out. I’m sure Walsh didn’t mean to leave us here. But he sure as hell isn’t coming back.”, Chase patted my hand.
“What are you doing?”, I hissed.
“You can feel my hand right?”, Chase checked.
“How could I not?”, I added, completely confused.
“Good. Now, I remember you slipping a few bobby pins into your pocket from earlier. When we were getting ready silently in our room.”
“You were watching me?!”, I scowled.
“No, I just happened to notice, cause I thought you were weird…Until I realized you probably needed them for your wig or something…I just. I DON’T KNOW.”, Chase answered, exasperated.
“Okay go on.”, I didn’t like where it was going.
“I’m just gonna reach into your pocket and uh, grab one. Kay?”, He breathed out.
“My butt pocket?”, I felt breathes sharpen.
“No, into your bra. OF COURSE IN YOUR BUTT POCKET, YOU IDIOT. Isn’t that where they are?!”, He hissed loudly.
“Okay, okay. Fine, just get it over with already.”, I sighed. In a split second, I felt a groping hand reach under my butt. There was definitely a little unnecessary groping going on and I coughed uncomfortably. “Wana just find it already?”, I spoke unsteadily.
“I’m trying.”, He reasoned. His hand wasn’t moving any faster and he obviously wasn’t.
“If your hand isn’t out from groping my butt in the next five seconds, I will personally chop off god’s gift to you in the middle of the night.”, I spat.
I soon felt a rush from his fingers as he grabbed a bobby pin and looped his hand out of my pocket. He stealthily felt around our hands and poked at the locks that were holding our arms and hands captive. With fluidity and ease, he twisted a few times, and I heard a soft click. There was a ‘ping’ as the lock fell to the ground. I whipped my arms around and quickly untied myself.
I got up and saw Chase staring at me.
“What? Is there something on my face?”
“Took you long enough.”, He rolled his eyes.
“Shutup.”, I spoke, crossing my arms, and heading towards the door.
“Oh, I guess no “Thanks CHase, for saving me from a full night of starvation and boredom!””, he answered.
I turned around and stared at his mussed chest nutty hair and deep green eyes.
“Thank you.”, I spoke matter-a-factly, no emotion in my voice.
“And what do I get in return?”, He spoke, the corners of his lips twitching up, slowly forming a sly smile.
“I think getting to feel me up was enough of showing my ‘gratitude.’”, I spoke icily, leaving him behind.
I heard the faint sound of chuckling behind me as I made my way towards our dorm, sensing the old Chase coming back.
Was I just imagining things?
