Unprecedented

Chapter 4: Detention

That night, I stayed behind school to be there for Chloe and Alex's detention. I wasn't looking forward to it but it had to be done.

I wasn't expecting them to even turn up, Chloe was already there but Alex was late. After 15 minutes of silence I looked at Chloe.

"Where's Alex?"

"He's dead, I killed him."

"Hilarious." I rolled my eyes.

"No seriously, check the cupboard." Her expression was dead serious but I found myself actually feeling relieved as Alex walked in.

"You're late." I spoke up, looking at the clock.

"I may be late, but you're in a shitty job with shitty pay, so who's the real winner here?" He shot back as he sat as far away from Chloe and I as possible.

I resisted the urge to throw something at him and folded my arms. "I might actually be a rock star. You don't know."

He scoffed. "Listen to Hannah Montana over here."

I rolled my eyes and picked my phone up when it rang. I recognised the voice straight away.

"Hey, Billie Joe? It's Mike Pritchard."

I wrinkled my nose up at the use of his full name. "Hey."

"I need you to come over tonight. It's important."

I blinked. "Alright, I'll come over. Bye Mike." I hung up and put my phone down, noticing both students watching me.

"Boyfriend?" Alex spoke up.

I rolled my eyes and looked at the clock. "I'll make the detention longer if you don't shut the fuck up."

He raised an eyebrow. "Pretty sure you aren't supposed to swear at us."

I laughed. "Pretty sure you draw your eyebrows on."

He growled and folded his arms, going silent.

Chloe spoke up. "Really? That's what gets to you? Your eyebrows of all things?"

Alex stayed quiet, and I began marking some work, actually learning more than I was marking as correct.

This was going to be a long detention.
