Detention ||Luke Hemmings

Chapter 3

LUKE'S POV:

I can't believe I'm letting myself do this. I'm gonna tell the Principal I've been making the sprinklers go. I seem really desperate but that's because I am.

I've had a love for Christina since freshman year. I'm a senior now and she still hasn't even looked my way. This year though, this year will be the year.

I walked down the hall to the main office and asked for the Principal. I walked slowly into his office.

"H-hi" I said quietly.

"Hi Luke! What can I do for you today?" he was really in a good mood. This was gonna be hard.

"I have to tell you something... I was the one who set off the sprinklers." I said quickly. He could still make out what I said.

"Luke I can't believe you. Why would you do this?"

"I'm sorry." I muttered.

He just sighed and handed me a blue piece of paper which was my Saturday detention slip.

"I never want to here of you doing something like that again." He said as I was walking out.

I thought I was gonna cry. I kept telling myself I did It for a reason and I knew my plan was gonna work.

-

It was now Thursday, meaning that I had detention in two days. I told Calum and Michael what I was doing but they weren't convinced it was gonna work.

"Luke that isn't a good idea. She hasn't even noticed you before." Calum said we were eating lunch.

"And he has a fucking scary boyfriend!" Michael piped in with a mouth full of pizza. I just laughed at his grossness.

Maybe this was a dumb idea. But I can't go back now. I already confessed.

During the last period, I was in Art, my most hated class. I had to take something like this, but I should have taken music or something I guess. I was always embarrassed because if how intake red I was at painting and drawing and stuff.

I did however, have this class with Christina. I know I seem obsessed with her but I just can't help but notice her whenever she's around me. But for her with me, it's the exact opposite. I was watching her from the corner of the room while I was getting my paints. She looked over at me.

I actually don't think she has ever looked at me before. I've seen her gorgeous brown eyes before, but they were never on me. That made them even more gorgeous.

I got really nervous and I knew if I looked at her any longer I would blush so I quickly looked away. I couldn't hide the smile on my face. Pretty sad though. It was over a girl looking at me.

She was sitting two rows in front of me. She was next to her boyfriend and everything made Christina either laugh or smile. I could do better though. I know it.

Okay I need to stop. I need to focus on my artwork. Never have said that before but I wanted to stop thinking about Christina. We were asked to paint someplace that we would like to go someday and I was attempting to paint Rome.

It seemed like an amazing place to go but I think I just ruined it with my painting.

-

"Luke, why would you want to get Saturday detention?" My mom asked me while she was cooking dinner.

"Cause I have nothing else to do on Saturdays anyways and that's what I'm hoping to change," I said said confidently although I'm not sure why because I was not very confident in this plan.

While I lay in bed that night I couldn't sleep at all because I was thinking of ways to woo Christina while in detention.

Fuck it I'm just gonna wing it.

CHRISTINA'S POV:

I woke this morning and felt like shit. My head was pounding and my throat was burning but I had to got to school today. James was doing his presentation on his anti-bullying campaign.

I got out of bed and threw on my favorite tribal print crop top with white jean shorts and white converse. I love this outfit but hopefully I won't puke all over it.

When I got to school James was waiting by the door.

"Hey Christina! How are you? Are you excited to watch me do my presentation?" He yelled in my ear and I just laughed at his cuteness.

I walked into math class and sat down in the back left corner where I usually say. I hate math. I have no friends in this class, the teacher is a dick, and the subject itself just sucks!

I have to pay attention in this class or i fail my homework. Wait. We won't have homework on Friday. Better pay attention anyway cause you never know with this guy.

It gets annoying when people ask me why I'm taking notes. I care about my grades. I also care about my friends a and that's why I'm like this bitch who hates everyone that tries to talk to me.

Math class was over and it was time to watch James to his anti-bullying campaign.

I walked into the class and James was standing in the front of the room. I clapped really loud and whistled and shit and he flared at me! for supporting him! How rude!

-

James finished his presentation after about a half hour of talking. I feel bad , he worked really hard on it but It was soooo boring. Sorry James but I'm really glad that's over.

-

Well now it's 7:00 in the damn morning on Saturday morning and I have to get up. Dammit and I'll probs be all alone too. No one ever gets Saturday detention except me.

I didn't bother dress up it'll just be me and whatever teacher which ever one it is I probably won't care about.

Well actually there is someone else here.
