Demi strolls through the corridors the next morning like most mornings looking for either Sel or Carter, she usually finds Carter before Sel. Demi wonders around the corner to her locker where she hopes Carter will be, he is there, making out with a girl against her locker. She  feels her eyes beginning to water, she never thought he would cheat on her. Anger begins running through her body, what's the point in crying when she can teach him a lesson? Demi storms over pulling them apart, Carter's eyes widening when he sees her.

"Oh Hi Carter how are you today?" Demi says looking up at her now ex-boyfriend.

"Um I'm fine you?" He questions back rubbing the back of his neck obviously nervous.

"Oh I'm good," She says then turns to the girl. "You know he already has a girlfriend?"

"He does?!" She exclaims turning to Carter.

"Um yeah, I was kind of dating both of you." He admits holding his cheek when he feels a slap coming from Demi.

"Demetria, principles office." A teacher says who's stood at the end of the corridor Demi sighs and starts walking off.

"If you didn't guess we're over!" Demi calls after.

Demi takes deep breath before walking into maths lesson and to Joe's desk, he looks up at her and takes the note she held out for him to take. He reads it and nods making Demi sit down at the opposite side of the room in which Carter is sat at Joe knows that they are together and wonders what has gone on, the note didn't say anything about Demi gaining a detention after school so she's not looking forward to telling him that. Through the lesson Joe noticed Demi's mood isn't very high. he's just hoping he won't discover anymore cuts on her wrists in the future. The lesson ends and Demi waits until everyone has left to walk to Joe's desk, he looks up at he and raises his eyebrow.

"I can't come tonight." Demi states.

"Why not?" Joe questions.

"I kinda maybe got detention." Demi mumbles but Joe still heard her.

"Oh you bad girl," Joe jokes Demi cracks a small smile. "What did badass Demi do?"

"Meanie! It wasn't my fault he cheated, I kinda slapped him." Joe laughs and Demi gives her the glare.

"I'll see you tomorrow I guess." Joe nods his head before Demi walks out. Joe sighs of relief knowing he can go home and to bed earlier, sure he wouldn't just cancel on Demi but it just gives him more time to catch up on work and sleep.

Demi strolls out of detention and sighs, the least they can do is at least give her something to do in there rather than let her sit there and do nothing, she could have done some extra work or even go to tutoring, it isn't as if she'll be at home doing nothing but learning more on the subject she doesn't understand very well. She made a quick stop of at her locker getting dirty looks from the cleaners but just ignores them and begins walking through the halls. She stops when she hears someone screaming but not just a scream, many screams sounding like they need help. She rushes into the direction of the screaming only to find it in Joe's classroom, she peers her head over the doorway only seeing her math teacher asleep with his head on his arms in his sleep. Demi rushes over and begins shaking him gently which doesn't wake him up, she begins doing it a bit harder making Joe shoot his head up breathing heavily.

"Are you okay?" Demi questions slightly worried.

"Yeah thanks." Joe mutters putting his head back down still half asleep. Demi can't believe what she has just experienced but now feels she knows a whole lot more about her teacher, why he always looks ill, why he's 23 and still living with his parents and why he is going to see a counsellor regular leaving her lessons. She suddenly understands everything.
