The New Target *under major editing*

chapter 3 *edited*

Skylar's POV

It was finally Friday and I got stuck in afternoon detention with the one and only Brett. He got us in trouble for talking. He was sitting next to me. He was trying to make conversation with me but i kept on ignoring him. Then he grabbed my arm to turn me to face him. Then he was leaning in. Our faces were inches away. But, just as he was about to kiss me, the teacher turned around and he gave us detention.

I was so grateful and not so grateful. I was grateful because he stopped him, but he gave me detention. I would have moved but he has a strong grip. STUPID Brett making me gets detention. I was sitting in detention and i was listening to a song called ‘Locked out Of Heaven’ by Bruno Mars. Just as it was about to get to the good part of the song, Brett tapped me on the shoulder causing me to jump slightly and pull one of my earphones out.

“What do you want?” I said angrily. He’s annoyed me enough today.

“I just wanted to know what song you were listening to” he answers lifting his hands up innocently.

“Locked out of Heaven” i said sighing, not putting up a fight.

“Would I be able to listen to that song as well?” 

“Whoa, since when did you become polite?” I say shocked, not caring about the music i was just listening to.

“What do you mean by that?” He said placing his hand on his heart feigning hurt.  “I’m always polite”. I scoffed and put my earphone back in my ear. By the time I finished talking to Brett the song had finished. Just as another song was about to come up Brett took the earphone out of my ear and placed it in his own.

Seriously, you do not know how much that pisses me off. I was mentally screaming inside. I seriously did not know how and why the teacher isn’t doing anything. He’s literally minding his own business and just reading some book.

“One Direction? Really?” He scoffed pulling the earphone out of his ear and chucking it back at me. I just shrugged, wiped the earphone (who knows Brett could have an ear disease or something) and placed it back in my ear as I joyfully listened to One Direction.

The teacher dismissed us a few seconds later since ‘he had somewhere to be’ but who’s caring, I get to leave detention 30 minutes earlier. I got up from my seat and grabbed my penny board which was beside me.

Walking out of the classroom I had realized I needed to meet up with Arianna to find clothes for the ‘wonderful party’ Brett was having. I reached the front gates as I felt someone’s hand grasp my shoulder. Thinking it was Brett I turned around and kneed him in the balls.

I saw him fall to the ground and I secretly congratulated myself seeing as I somehow hit right spot, but before I didactually congratulate myself, I saw that it wasn’t actually Brett. ‘Shit’ I muttered in my head. Well I actually hit one of his friends, Marcus I think.

“OH MY GOD! I’m so sorry I thought you were Brett!” I said seeing if he was okay. He just rolled over in pain and groaned. I looked up to see Brett and his 3 other friends (Kurtis, Tristan and Ryan). 

“What do you mean you thought he was Brett?!” Brett said shocked and scared at the same time.

“Well you were annoying me this whole day today, I wanted payback” I said shrugging carelessly.

“Wait, so that would be me?” He said pointing to Marcus who was still on the floor literally dying and pointing back at himself. I just nodded and looked at his expression.

His face was full of fear, shock, and pain and all over mixed emotions clearly meaning he was so glad that Marcus was standing there instead of him. I checked the time and realized that if I didn’t leave soon Arianna was going to rip my head off if I was late.
