Leave Your Lover

Detention

It's 8 a.m. on a Saturday Morning. I woke up too early for this. I should be in bed right now, not sitting in a room bored for protecting myself. However, I don't mind being with Adam. He might not want to talk to me when he sees me though.

I brought some work to keep myself busy, even though I know I'll be distracted by Adam's beautiful face.

I go into Mrs. Jones's classroom waiting for detention to start. For some reason, Adam isn't here. I hope he isn't skipping because of me. I don't know what I would do. He hates me. I just know he does. I gave his girlfriend a bloody nose and made her go unconscious. I screwed up the face he admires every day. His sunshine but my darkness. I wish I could take it back, but that's impossible. I would say sorry but, I'm not sorry about teaching her a lesson. I'm sorry about how Adam felt after seeing her face. This really wasn't my intention. I don't hate that it happened either.

"Sorry, I'm late. My alarm didn't go off." Adam said.

"Don't let it happen again. Take a seat," Mrs.Jones responds.

He's here! Maybe it's possible that he doesn't hate me. I waved at him. He didn't see me. Or maybe he just didn't look.

Mrs. Jones says, "Detention is starting. That means no talking, no being on your cellular devices and no sleeping. You will stay silent and you will either do your work or think about why you are here. If you need to go to the bathroom ask for permission."

Adam whispered. "Can I get a pencil". I gave it to him "Thanks".

I messed up really bad. I want him to forgive me so bad. I want a chance with him but hell will freeze over before I get that. I didn't hurt him just his girlfriend. Who is also the love of his life? For now. Or forever. I don't know anymore. Hopefully, there is trouble in paradise. But I want him to be happy even if it's not with me. I want the best for him. He deserves it. But Lisa isn't the best. I think she's the worse. She's mean, she's rude, she has an attitude, and not to mention she's hideous. He deserves better. Adam deserves to know what real love feels like. What being treated right feels like. How to be appreciated. Adam deserves Eve. Me.

"Alright Detention is over. Get out of my classroom". Mrs.Jones says urgently. I put my stuff away, then I watched Adam put his away. Every second I look at him my heart beats harder and harder. My palms get sweatier, and I get butterflies. It was so weird. I was just staring at him. It got really weird when he looked at me and realized I was staring.

"Can I help you?' he asked. I got really nervous. I wanted to say yes you can help me by leaving Lisa and spending forever with me. For better or worse. For those dreamy eyes. Instead, I just said,

"Can I have my pencil?" He sat it on my desk, said thanks again, then waved bye. Adam left the classroom. I went after him. I stopped him and said "Wait. You're not mad at me?"

"Of course I am. Just because I'm polite, doesn't mean I'm not pissed. I'm civilized, unlike some people."

"You mean like Lisa?" What have I done? He went silent for a minute. It's because I'm right. I know I'm right. Adam knows I'm right. It's the truth.

"I mean like you."

"I didn't mean it I just--"

"I don't wanna hear it."

"I'm sorry I didn't want to do it. I was defending myself. I didn't mean to hurt her. I didn't mean make you upset." I didn't mind hurting her. I hate seeing Adam angry.

"Tell her that to her messed up face."

"How can I get on your good side?"

"Apologizing to Lisa would be a start."

"Okay, I'll do it. Just promise you won't be mad anymore."

"Promises are made to be broken."
