Detention

Chapter Seven

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Ashton asked Calum. Ashton liked Calum, he wanted to befriend him.

"No." Calum answered. He was a little insecure about the topic. It was hard for him to talk to girls since the only girls he does talk to is his sister and his mom. He just always found himself tongue tied.

"Oh really? Then who do you have an eye out for?" Ashton questioned.

"Um." Calum smiled just thinking about her.

"C'mon mate, tell me." Ashton said shaking his arm.

"Fine, I like Grace." Calum admitted not looking Ashton in the eye.

"You do?" Ashton asked. "Well don't look up."

Right as Ashton said that, Calum didn't listen and looked up anyway. There he saw Luke and Grace, hand in hand, walk into the classroom with giant smiles plastered on their faces. Calum scowled and rested his head on the table. At first, Calum didn't even consider himself having a shot with this girl, but when he actually had the chance to talk to her, he believed that maybe there was a slight chance that he could possibly ask her out. Now seeing this made him so jealous and angry and sad all at the same time. Ashton saw the disappointment Calum felt and patted him on the back.

"Hey Calum." Ashton called and Calum looked up. "So tonight, I have a date and it's actually a double date, but I don't have someone to bring. Do you wanna tag along?"

Calum thought about it. He didn't think that would heal his heartbreak, but he might as well. All he was going to do tonight was play FIFA.

"Sure." Calum said.

"That's my man." Ashton told him with a smile.

"Kaylin, Kaylin, Kaylin!" Grace said running to where she was sitting with Michael.

"Um, yes?" Kaylin asked, wondering why she was so excited.

"Okay so- Wait, Michael right? Can you leave us alone for a minute, please? We're just gonna have a little girl talk." Grace asked.

"Girl talk?" Kaylin asked. Michael obeyed and walked over to sit with Ashton and Calum instead.

"I kissed Luke." Grace said with a goofy smile on her face.

"What?" Kaylin asked. She didn't think Grace was into guys like Luke. Especially because he called him a dick earlier.

"Yeah, I know right? I didn't think I would, but after being with him and actually listening to him, he's actually really sweet and cute." Grace admitted.

"Wait, why are you telling me this?" Kaylin wondered. Grace and Kaylin knew each other, but not enough to "girl talk" as Grace put it.

"Because, you are the only girl here and I really just wanted to tell someone but none of my other friends are here so I thought that if make friends with you and we can talk." Grace explained.

"So, I am sorta kinda accepted as one of your friends?" Kaylin asked.

"Well, yeah." Grace said as if it was obvious.

"Wow, this is a new experience." Kaylin thought out loud.

"Really? What do you and your girlfriends talk about then?" Grace curiously asked.

"Um, we definitely don't talk about boys." Kaylin said.

"Then let's." Grace started. "Okay so Luke took me to the AV room and played this old romantic movie. And then I started to realize that Luke wasn't half bad, so I kissed him. We spent the rest of the time kissing till the movie ended." Grace said.

"Did you go all the way?" Kaylin asked, slightly embarrassed. Who asks something like that?

"No, I'm not that easy." Grace said, not even stunted by Kaylin's vulgar question.

"Are you guys together or something then?" Kaylin asked, being curious.

"I don't know. I really don't want him to just kiss and leave me, and I don't think I would mind dating a bad boy for a while." Grace said in an optimistic matter.

"So what about you and Michael? You guys seem pretty cozy?" Grace asked Kaylin and she blushed.

"Uh..." Kaylin said becoming at a loss for words.

"You are totally head over heels for this guy!" Grace stated as if she knew.

"No, it's not that. Actually, while you were gone, I kinda kissed Michael." Kaylin said, her voice getting softer and softer as she neared the end of the sentence.

"What!?" Grace literally yelled. Kaylin put her hand over her mouth and shushed her. She looked behind her and saw the boys with looks of suspicion. Kaylin just made an awkward face because she was embarrassed from drawing so much unwanted attention.

"Wait, you kissed Michael?" Grace asked a little more calmer.

"Yeah." Kaylin said with a slight smile.

"Okay, tell me everything." Grace said, ready for Kaylin to spill. Kaylin thought about it and realized, can she seriously trust this girl? She didn't seem like she would do any harm. From what she's seen today, she's incredibly kind.

Kaylin smiled, "Okay, so Michael was babbling and accidentally mentioned that he liked me. I was actually very flattered that he did because, honestly, I thought he was pretty cute. The way he looks like a lost puppy when he gets shy and how he goes on tangents when he's nervous and his shy smile that's so sweet." Grace awed at how she was so love struck over Michael.

"So he got pretty embarrassed that he told me he liked me, so I kissed him to make him feel better." Kaylin said.

"C'mon, you cannot just tell me you kissed him to make him feel better. A true kiss is one you can't ever get over, and the reason you remember it is because every impulse in your body wanted to." Grace told.

"I mean, it wasn't just for him, it was kind of for my own sake. I felt like if I didn't kiss his perfect pink lips I would die." Kaylin admitted.

"Aw, you guys are actually really cute together." Grace said with a giant grin.

"Oh your babies are gonna be so cute." Grace said, daydreaming about what they'd look like.

Kaylin laughed and lightly punched Grace, "Shut up."
