The Teenage Gypsy

Part 4 Detention

Arielle's POV

School went by super fast. One minute it was experiments in Science and the next it was poems in English.

Just as I got excited to be going home, I realised I had detention.  I suppose it wouldn't be that bad with Flynn there!

Even thinking about him gives me the shivers! He's so hot. I still can't believe he would talk to someone like me, let alone FLIRT with me!

I walked along the corridor towards the detention room. Waiting outside was Flynn.

"Hey hey, I was starting to think you weren't gonna show up!" He said taking my hand and leading me into the classroom.

We both sat down next to each other in the 2nd row.

"How could I miss such an exciting speech from the best teacher ever!?" I said sarcastically back to him.

He giggled. I crumbled, yet again.

Mrs Higgs walked in with her glasses low on her nose and carrying dozens of books. Flynn quickly stood up and helped her carry some.

What a gentleman!

"Thank you Flynn, but it doesn't get you out of detention! Luckily for you though, I have a staff meeting to discuss the up-coming school disco, so I will not be able to run you both through the school rules"

Mental high-five. 

"You can sit here and revise if you wish. And don't have any funny ideas about leaving, because I'll be back in an hour! And where the hell are Hugo and Matt?" Mrs Higgs finished whilst pushing up her specs.

"Thanks Miss! Hugo and Matt said they had footy practice and couldn't come, they said to ask Coach Pearson if you don't believe them" Flynn explained.

"Hmmmm, I might just do that! Behave you two!" Mrs Higgs walked out of the classroom and closed the door behind her.

Me and Flynn both jumped up out of our seats into a massive hug. Before I could realise what was happening he was spinning me round in his arms.

We were both giggling our heads off and collapsed onto the floor next to each other.

We sat there, on the floor, for the rest of the detention. We spoke about our lives and what all the places I'd been to were like. We got to know each other really well. I couldn't help but think that he was holding back on something though.

At one point, I was on the verge of tears. I told Flynn how I had cut myself before, and how I wasn't proud of it, but it did help a bit.

As soon as he saw I was getting upset he clenched me in a tight hug. He whispered in my ear "You're safe, nothings gonna hurt you, I'm here".

Then I just burst out. A flood of tears came streaming down my face and I hugged Flynn back even tighter.

At that point the Pinkettes came to the door. I'm not sure how long they stood there and saw me and Flynn getting close, but they saw enough. As they walked away, we both looked around to see them running towards Lacey.

Shit.

Lacey's POV

"I totally saw them, getting close!" Alana gossiped to me.

"Yeah, they may have even kissed!" Josie piped in.

"And..." Alana continue before I cut her off.

"Shut it. If that little tart thinks she can just steal Flynn away from me, then shes got another thing coming!

The girls giggled and followed me out the door.

We always get a Starbucks after school, so we set up the plan there.

In Starbucks.

"So, how are we gonna destroy the bitch?" I said, hoping the girls would have some better ideas than mine.

All mine constisted of was slapping her then throwing a slushie in her face. Not the most imaginative.

"How about we start a rumor?" Josie suggested.

"No, nobody knows her yet. A rumor would be pointless" I replied patronizingly.

"Oh yeh, right"

"I know! Lets trip her up in the corridor!" Alana stupidly suggested.

"OMG, Alana no, thats not good enough! I've got it! Thats perfect!" I squealed in glee.

"Lace, what's the plan then?"

The Plan:

"Step 1: Hire Arielle's mum to make a massive cake for my party on friday night.

Step 2: Accidentally on purpose forget to hire servers.

Step 3: Tell Arielle's mum that she can cancel if we dont have any servers.

Step 4: Arielle, being the kind-hearted girl that she is will kindly step in and serve the cake at my party for her precious mother.

Step 5: I'll make a distraction and you girls will trip her up, all over Flynn.

Step 6: Flynn will see what an idiot and clutz Arielle is and will come running back to gorgeous me!"

Arielle's POV

Oh no, if I got on the wrong side of Lacey again, I knew I'd have to pay.

"Don't worry about them, or her. Whats the worst she can do?" Flynn said sweetly, trying to comfort me.

He stood up and extended his arm for me.

I took it and pulled myself up. We stood only a few centimetres apart.

We were about to lean in and KISS, when we got distracted by the click-clacking of stiletto heels in the corridor.

We stepped apart and turned to face the door.

Mrs Higgs stopped at the door frame, with a surprisingly happy face on.

"I'm glad to see that you two didn't leave. You've done your time. You may leave!" She said whilst walking in and sitting down at her desk.

Me and Flynn grabbed our bags and ran out of the classroom as quick as we could shouting a quick thanks to Mrs Higgs on the way.

What I thought was going to be a cute walk home with Flynn got cut short as my mum drove up to us in the car park.

"Hi guys, why've you been at school so long? Anyway, do you want a lift home Arielle? Arielle's friend?" Mum said trying to sound polite but just coming across as pushy.

"No thanks, I'm good Miss Hunter, I've got to do some errands down town anyway. I'll see you later then Ari" Flynn said politely before throwing his hand up in goodbye and walking into town.

"Bye Flynn, see you" I replied whilst scrambling into the car.

"Oooooh. Flynn eh?" Mum said, nosey as ever.

"Mum, just drive"

A/N

Yayyy! They got close! No kiss yet though! ;)
