Detention part 2

Why did he apologize? Maybe I should ask him. I look back at him and his head is down on his desk.  I stand up and walk over to him. I sit next to him and he doesn't react. He must not know I'm here yet.

I tap him on the shoulder lightly and he shoots up from his desk surprised. I jumped back a little scared from his sudden movement.

"Oh it's just you, Kitty" he says as he calmed down.  We sit there for a bit in awkward silence.
"Why did you apologize to me?" I asked straightforwardly and regretted it instantly
He got really nervous and started twiddling his thumbs
"I-I dunno" he said quietly "you seemed upset"
"Well I was, today has been crazy" I sighed.

What's wrong with me. I never get nervous why am I stuttering?
"Oh, crazy how?" I ask
"Well......you did blackmail me into kissing Travis" she says
"So I guess you guys are a thing now" I mumble, barley audible but somehow she heard. I look down kinda disappointed.
"No" she says simply
I look up with hope in my eyes
"Well what happened after I left" I ask looking at her beautiful brown eyes.
"He let me down easy. He said I wasn't his type." She paused "why did you leave"
I got nervous again. "I had better things to do" I stated calmly regaining my cool.
"Oh, okay" she says going back to her drawing
I watch her draw silently. It's funny,the face she makes when she messes up and has to erase it. It's cute.

What am I thinking. I look away and lay my head back down on my desk.
Why am I like this around her. Why do I get flustered when she says my name. Why do I stutter when I talk. What's wrong with me. Am I sick or something. I think I'll go to the bathroom.
I look up and see no teacher so I just stand up and walk to the door.

"Where are you going?" Kitty asks not looking up from her drawings
"Bathroom" I say as I walk out the door and into the halls.

Finally he's gone. Now I can get to work on my other drawing.

I don't know why but I kinda feel bad for gene. He seems so angry all the time. I wanna help him. I'm drawing a picture of him and me as a cat because of the  nickname he gave me that I'm kinda getting used to.
I can't work on this drawing when he's in here because I want it to be a surprise. And maybe then we can be friends.

In the bathroom I look in the mirror and wash my face.
"Pull yourself together Gene" I say to my reflection. Some one walks out of the stall behind me and startles me.

I turn around quickly to face the culprit only to see Zenix
"Zenix what are you doing here"
"They caught me trying to tag the cafeteria and they made me stay after and clean it." He says tiredly. "Why are you here?"
"I got detention for skipping class"

"And you actually showed up?" He washes his hands
"You've gone soft Gene" he says smirking as he walks out.

His words repeat in my head.
I have gone soft. I need to do something to gain back my reputation. I stay in the bathroom for a while when I think of something I could do.
I go into each stall and stuff the roll of toilet paper into the toilet and flush it multiple times.

I quickly run out of the bathroom as it overflows and water runs on the floor. I slow down as I approach Mr. Gavin's classroom and I walk in with a smirk on my face.

Gene has been in the bathroom for I while now. I'm just putting the finishing touches on my drawing. It doesn't look as much like him as I wanted it to but it's close enough.

I take the drawing and fold it in half and I put it in an envelope. Just as I seal it Gene walks in with a smirk on his face.

"Gene! What took you so long?"
"Nothing. I just like walking slow" he said. He seems different from earlier. What happened in the bathroom?

" I made you something" I say as I hand him the envelope. He hesitates before taking it.

He opens it slowly and I smile watching him. His face gets red when he looks at the picture. It says 'Gene and Kitty' on the top and has a picture of Gene holding a cat that looks somewhat like me.

He smiles and folds it up and puts it in his back pocket. "Thank you" he says sincerely as he looks deep into my eyes.

My phone timer goes off as i realize it's been an hour and I can go home now.
"Sorry Gene but now that detentions over I have to go home or my mom will be worried"
"Okay" he says as I head to the door.

As I walk out the door I hear my nickname.
"Kitty wait!" I turn around looking at Gene "c-can I walk you home" he asks.
"Yeah sure" I say as I wonder why he was being so nice. Maybe it was the picture. Hopefully we can be friends.

I wait for him to catch up and we walk out of the school side by side. I wonder what he's thinking.
