• I'm falling for your eyes. But they don't see me yet•

"Wait. What?"

"You're joking."

"Seriously?"

"I thought I would never live to see this day."

I glared at the four idiots I called friends, as they entered the room and sat down infront of me then went back to my book. They should be grieving with me, not finding amusement at my current situation.

"What did you do to get landed in here?" Zach asked, turning his seat my way. He had gotten in detention as well because he entered late to Mr. Corney's class. Mr. Corney was one strict fellow who had no tolerance for tardiness.

"You should have seen her go back and forth with the new kid. It was hella amusing." Brett replied from the seat left of me. Somehow he managed to piss off the ever cool Mr. Austin by making crude remarks about Jennifer Austin who was his step sister. She seemed to be enjoying it though when someone as popular as Brett talked about her. She loved the attention even though it was something lewd. Girls these days.

"The new kid that everyone's been talking about?" Jenna asked from next to Zach, perking up. She had pranked a teacher as a first day initiation amd she was not that subtle about it, therefore landing her in detention. "What was his name? Gabriel, right? I heard he was pretty good looking."

Zach and Brett rolled their eyes mainly because Jenna never praised them for their looks even though she knew they were attractive and here she was praising some new guy.

"It's not so hard. Now try praising us. Come on." Brett nudged her.

She looked at them for a moment and I almost laughed out when I saw both of them bracing themselves for the moment when Jenna Hawkins would praise them for their undeniably good looks.

Finally, she scrunched up her nose. "Ew." She said and then looked away, examining her nails.

Zach and Brett groaned and I didn't stop myself from laughing out loud this time. I turned to my right at Chance letting Zach and Brett argue about who was the most good looking.

"What did you do?" I asked him. As far as I know, he never caused trouble and was the most punctual and yet he sometimes landed in detention.

He shrugged. "Brett was my ride so I just tagged along."

"You can do that?" I asked shocked. Here I was, scared out of my mind for getting detention and there was Chance who came and went as he pleased. What kind of friends did I have?

"I would have gone with Kiara but she has those family thingies she always has." He explained furthur then laid his head down on the desk, soft snores eventually coming from him. He even slept anywhere.

I shook my head and turned towards the book I was reading. I had texted Lara to cover for me at home. Hopefully she would be able to do that.

"What are you reading?" Zach asked, leaning towards ny desk. My heart fluttered at his sudden closeness.

I looked towards Brett and saw him bickering with Jenna. I flushed a little but pretended to be cool. Damn this was hard!
