Simons POV
I have detention yet again. Instead of putting me in the usual class room, one of the teachers walks me to a different room. I walked in and saw 6 other lads all sat with each other. I've seen them around but I don't know them by name. I take a seat on a desperate table from them and put my head down."I'll be back in an hour, don't leave" the teacher says, turning round and walking out the door.
I hear the 6 speaking and decide to just go on my phone for the next hour. I'm not really a bad kid, I just get detention so I can spend longer away from home. My home life isn't exactly the best so I avoid my home like it's the plague. When I'm there I just spend my time in my room so I'm away from my parents. The past couple months I've started to make a name for myself as a trouble maker. That's only because I've been in detention basically every day.
Scrolling through my phone, one of the 6 came and sat in front of me. I looked up from my phone to see which one of them it was. Great the loud and obnoxious one.
"Erm... hi" I didn't know what else to say.
"I'm Jide, what's your name ?" The lad said to me.
"Simon"
"Alright, come sit with us ? Can't have you sitting on your own now can we ?" To my surprise he wasn't being a dick. He was being nice. Jide stood up and waited for me to stand with him.
"Sure" I said standing up and walking over to the others with him.
"Guys this is Simon... Simon this is Harry,Ethan, Toby,Vik, and Josh" pointing them out individually so I knew who was who. After an awkward introduction to them all I got to talking to them. They were all actually really nice lads, and I'm glad Jide got me to come over. Before the end of detention we all swapped numbers so we could keep in touch and meet up outside of detention.
I'm glad I met them. Maybe I could have people in my life that weren't arseholes.

Okay so this is my first time writing since January so I hope this was okay. And hopefully someone actually reads this or I'll just be talking to myself.
