Detention

Dennis

I watched Mr. Martin walk into the library and look at us. "I see nobody finished the essay again. You all will be staying two hours later or until you all write your essays." He said then left the room. Ben flipped him off as he left making me roll my eyes. He needs to stop before he gets into anymore trouble. "Hey, losers. Get up here." He shouted at us. I got up and went to the upstairs with the rest following me. I sat by Harley and looked at Ben suspiciously.

I noticed that Harley and Ben were sitting close so I glared at Ben. He glared back and grabbed her hand. She smiled at him then watched everyone come over and sit down. "What do you need, dickhead?" James said so I elbowed him in the ribs. He glared at me and elbowed me back. "Since we have a few hours left why don't we get to know each other." Ben said making us look at him weirdly. Why is he acting so happy.

"What are you here for, Sam?" I asked. He never got in trouble so I wonder why he's in here with us. "I talked back to the teacher because he gave us assignment and after we turned it in he said we didn't. He blamed me for it so I told him I would never do that." He said which was lame. He's one of those kids that would avoid getting in a fight since they can't fight.

"What you in here for, Cameron?" James asked him. "I got into a fight with someone because they were picking on someone." He said. He didn't get in trouble often but obviously did when he stood up for people even though the person who started it. It was no fair that they made him come here for the weekend since he didn't do anything bad.

"What did you do, James?" Ben asked. "I got caught by the staff having sex with a girl then I beat up the staff member." He said making me roll my eyes. This wasn't the first time that this had happened. He was prone to do the things he does. "You're a fucking dumb ass. If you're gonna do it then do it quietly in the bathroom." Harley said. "Shut the fuck up, you whore." He sneered. "Watch it, buddy." I warned.

"What you do to get detention, Sweetheart?" James asked. "I got into a fight. Someone was picking on Dennis so I got into a fight then he jumped in and fought the too." Harley said. It was true. Some idiot said something so she got on them then I jumped in since they were hurting my sister. Don't expect me to try and stop the fight if my sister is involved.

"Are you really a whore?" James asked. "No, I'm not. I've only slept with one person unlike you. It's just a rumor." She said surprising me that she said that aloud. She has never said that to anyone other then me. And yes, I did beat up the guy who spread the damn rumor since he deserved it. "So you don't want to come over later and have some fun with me." James said so I hit him in the back of his head. "No, I have plans anyway." She said making him frown.

"Ben, what you in detention for this time?" Cameron asked. "I got caught smoking in the bathroom and in a classroom." He said. I rolled my eyes. Maybe he shouldn't smoke at school. "Why are you such an asshole?" I asked Ben. "You don't know what my life is like." He said. "Tell us then." Sam said. "I was raised by my father who is abusive and my mom died when I was six. I don't have any other emotion other then anger and sarcasm." He said tearing up a bit.

"You showed me emotion just earlier. You just don't know how to communicate it." Harley said nicely. That's the nicest she's ever talked to any one other than me. "What about you, Princess? Why do you act the way you do?" Ben asked using his famous nickname. "Me and Dennis were raised by foster parents. We never knew our parents. The only thing we know is that we both were born in Kiev." She said tearing up a bit. We went around telling each other our backstories.

The door opened to the library so we scrambled downstairs. The teacher walked in and watched us carefully. "You have one more hour left of detention. Make sure your essays are finished and up on this front table." He said then left the room. Harley groaned then grabbed a piece of paper and started her essay. She was done quickly making the others look at her in disbelief. She took a book out of her bag then read it.
