CHAPTER-6

Apparently, he did hear me considering how I'm sitting in detention bored out of my mind. After my smartass reply Mr Gordon looked as though he would burst into flames but the class seemed to enjoy this very much by shouting out "You go girl!" "Oh Snap!" "Gordy's turning into Voldy". Mr Gordon started yelling at us to shut up, gave me my detention slip with a murderous glint in his eye and stalked out of the class slamming the door shut.

The last class for the day was Business Management with Miss Ashley who put me in a better mood. Once that got over I walked over to the detention room and here I am staring at the almost empty room with some random teacher chatting with their "Bae" not giving a damn about the students which included just me and this weird dude at the corner of the class picking his nose (Ew! Again).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A loud noise awoke me from my slumber and I groggily sat up hoping I didn't have any drool around my mouth. I searched for the source of the noise and groaned it was Nicky who seemed very eager to get out of the room as the teacher had taken a keen interest to chat with Nicky.

I smirked at how uncomfortable he looked when "Krystal!" shouted Nicky and sighed in relief when he saw me looking back at him and walked over to me and said, "Come on let's go home. Detention's over."

"Yeah okay." I replied and slung my bag over my shoulder and walked towards the door. I turned to find Nicky right behind me and the random teacher back to chatting and the weird dude still picking his nose.

I didn't know if there were something you had to do before leaving the detention room as it was my first time getting detention so I asked the teacher who just crossed my name out and nodded for me to leave. So, I once again made my way to the door and this time walked out of it with Nicky by my side.

"How was detention?" he asked

"Boring"

"What did you do?"

"Sleep"

As he thought of what to ask next I walked towards the school gate and asked, "Why did you wait for me?" He shrugged and said "I wasn't sure of the way back home so I waited." And here I was expecting some romantic thing (I always do that, the maybe-he-likes-me-although-we-met-like-two-minutes-ago).

I nodded and we continued our way back home in a comfortable silence but midway Nicky decided to strike up a conversation again and asked, "So what's up with you and the Samuel guy? He's so mean to you." He paused and hesitantly asked the next question "Is he your ex?"

I laughed hearing the second question and replied "No! Samuel and I never dated." And we never will "I don't know why he's mean."

"Maybe he's shy" suggested Nicky. I scoffed and shook my head "I doubt that's the reason."

Nicky looked as though he wanted to ask me a few more questions and I desperately wanted to avoid them. Luckily for me I saw my house and sprinted towards it after waving bye to Nicky.

A wonderful aroma greeted me as I entered my house, undoubtedly the smell of pizza baking in the oven(my mom cooks awesome food...yeah I'm a lucky person). I ran into the kitchen to find my mom standing with Mrs Parker laughing and talking whilst holding a tray of freshly baked pizzas.

"I knew it!" I shouted and I held out my hand for a slice, my mom slapped it away and said," Go and clean up then you'll get your pizzas." I pouted and then looked at Mrs Parker to find her smiling at me I awkwardly smiled back and then ran to my room to change and get hold of those delicious pizzas.

After changing into my pajamas because I'm not going out any time soon I went to the dining area to start eating the pizza (the only motivation for me to do something). As I start eating my mom comes and sits beside me and says "So your father and I have been thinking to go somewhere for a few days as a "getaway" sort of thing along with the Parker family."

"Oh! That's great where are we going? And when? I have to start deciding what all to take." And I start muttering to myself wondering if I'll have enough space in my bag for the stuff I want to carry. I then looked at mom who seemed very flustered "Yeah... that's the thing since you have school, you can't come with us." Quickly she added "Don't worry you won't be alone, Nicholas also won't be going so you both can stay together until we come back."

I just sat there gaping at my mom who eagerly nodded at me hoping the last fact she said would make me feel better (which let me tell you mom it did not!). Dropping this absolutely horrifying bomb on me she coolly walked away as I sat there still unable to decide on how to react.

After a while I just resigned to the fact that I'll be spending around 2-3 weeks with a hot guy with an extremely irritant attitude (thank god he's hot). I went to my room to start on my homework and suddenly my phone lit up and I looked over to see a message from an unknown number. Frowning I unlocked the phone wondering if its some creepy stalker guy or that weird nose picking guy from detention.

"Still no plans on how to seduce Zerena?" I groaned immediately reading this sentence. So, the "creepy-unknown-stalker guy" was Nicky. I saved his number and replied "So that's your new crush?"

Immediately he replied "No... it's yours and not new albeit." I rolled my eyes and didn't bother to reply and clicked my phone shut. After finishing my homework, I just lazed around, read some books and watched T.V.

"Krissie!" my mom's voice resounded from the living room. I shouted out "Yeah?" a couple of times in response to that but of course there's no reply. I don't know why but my mom cannot hear me yell at the top of my lungs but hear me whisper anything rude under my breath. I don't know if its my mom or everyone's in general.

I heaved a sigh and walked over to the living room to find my mom by the door conversing with someone outside.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Someone's here to see you" my mom gestured towards the door.

Puzzled I moved forward and swung the door open to find

"Samuel?"
