I spat my gum out and it successfully landed exactly where the teacher had stepped. I high fived Seunghyun then closed my locker. There was no point in me bothering to open it anyway. I never brought anything to class. "Hey, my girl needs me. Catch ya later."

A few screams were heard from the teacher's lounge and they soon ran out of the room. I laughed hard as they ran from a harmless snake. "You!" She walked up to me and yanked me along by my arm. I rolled my eyes as I already knew what was going to happen next.

"Again, Mr. Sohn? Don't you get tired of being brought here?" "If it means I get the see your scared and angry faces, then it's all worth it." She sighed heavily then folded her hands. "You only have so many strikes left before we expel you." "Like this place taught me anything."

I was soon let go with a warning before they started adding strikes. I was once again given another detention. I wasn't in the mood to go to class, so I headed for the roof of the school. It was the only place I got any peace of mind.

I looked down over the edge of the roof that I sat on. It was a pretty high drop from where I sat. "Hey." I turned around and was surprised to see Hankung. "What are you doing up here?" "I was told to bring you to class." "Are you?" She shook her head.

"I know you, you're my boyfriend's best friend. Why he's involved with you, I'll never know, but I do know you're not easily convinced." "Smart girl." "I'll make up something, but whatever you do, don't fall." "No promises." She left the rooftop and I was now alone again.

I opened my eyes then noticed most of the school day had gone by. I wasn't surprised that no one had come to look for me. I stretched out then trudged back down to my last class of the day. It wasn't a favorite, but it didn't suck either.

"There you are." We did our little handshake then sat down. "I heard Han went to look for you earlier today." "What kind of lie did she make up that no one looked for me?" He shrugged then took out his phone. "Ooh, what's new on the school website?"

"The usual. Gossip, romance, heartbreak, you. Wait a minute." I looked over to see what he was viewing. "It's nothing. It's just that Sunwoo is mentioned again. Isn't he a sophomore like us?" I shrugged. I didn't know much about anyone outside of our year.

"He might be a junior. Anyway, what's his story today?" "Replaced a teacher's coffee with animal piss." "Diabolical." I had to meet this guy. He caused the same amount of ruckus I did, yet we never had detention together. "Today might be your lucky day." "Why?"

"Someone heard he's serving detention today." "Hm, guess I'll stay after all." The teacher had long since entered the room, but neither of us cared as we battled against each other on our phones.

I tossed my bag onto a desk, only for it to slide off and land in the seat. "Works for me." I sat in the seat in front of it then yawned. It would be a long hour. The door opened and another student entered the room. "You in trouble?" "Yep."

He told me everything he's done to the faculty and I found myself in tears and nearly out of breath. "I swear, I've never seen that fatass teacher run so fast." "Oh my god, that reminds me of the time that I set fire to his pants." "On purpose?" "Hell yeah."

The teacher in charge came in and told us to cease chatting. We looked at each other then silently started laughing. I had never met him before and I had never clicked with someone so fast. "What year are you in?" "Sophomore. You?" "Junior, but I skipped a grade."

"Quiet!" "No." "Excuse me?" Eric started to mock him and I couldn't contain my laughter. "Keep this up and you'll both get another detention." "Try us. Doing so would only make the other poor crap ass teacher suffer." "Watch your language!" Eric looked at me in surprise.

"Why? 'Cause you can't handle the truth? That you worthless teachers don't teach us anything valuable?" "Sunwoo, maybe-" He was soon out of his seat and left the room. "I think you went a bit far..." I rolled my eyes then stared out the window. I was tired of this school.

The door eventually opened and the principal stepped inside. "Sunwoo, I can't believe this. You were such a stellar student. Did Eric put you up to this?" "I don't even know the kid." She seemed disappointed in me. I didn't care. I felt better this way. This felt like me.

"I'm sorry to say, but you both will be serving detention tomorrow after school." She looked at me once more before leaving the room. "So that's what you left the room for? To have the principal scold me for turning into a problem child? You teachers really do suck."

"Young man!" "I don't give a fucking shit. I'm leaving." I looked at Eric once more before opening the door and slamming it shut.

He hit me again. "You good for nothing child! You won't get any dinner tonight either! Maybe you'll learn better this way." "Piss off old man. I hope you die." "Why you-" He yanked me by my hair then tossed me into my room. "Don't you dare think about leaving this room."

He didn't have to tell me twice. I pulled a crushed bag of chips from my bag as I sat down at my desk. I began to write until my hand started to cramp. I looked it over before deciding to crumple it up and throw it away. Writing was a hidden passion I had.

Sadly, I never wrote anything as good as I used to. I guess one could say my mother was the source of my inspiration. Maybe that's when everything started to go downhill. My grades slipped, my emotions went down and my mentality was unstable. I had become aggressive.

I thought back to when I met Sunwoo and started to write again. Words seemed to flow endlessly out of my mind and onto the paper. It looked different, but it felt familiar. I had possibly found my new inspiration for writing. I needed to talk to him outside of detention.

"Sun-" "Shut up! I don't care about 'your parents wouldn't like this'. So fucking what. They're gone. They never wanted me." I hated her. "How could you say that? They raised you with such love and care." "Then why did they leave me behind with you?"

She looked hurt by what I said, but I didn't plan on taking it back. "I-" "Exactly, you don't know. So why don't you stay quiet unless you can actually give me facts." She couldn't see that I was hurting. I missed my parents dearly. Suddenly waking up in a new place isn't cool.

Especially when you expect the usual morning kiss from mom and the morning pep talk from dad. I locked my door then belly flopped onto my bed. Tears spilled out of my eyes as I remembered first waking up in this room. "Sunwoo, be ready tomorrow so we can go to school together."

I thought back to detention then remembered bonding with Eric over terrorizing the faculty. It caused my tears to stop and actually had me looking forward to a new school day for once. I had to meet Eric again.

I walked into school early with my aunt then sighed heavily. "Do you really hate being at school this early?" "Yes." "I'm sorry, but I have to be here early. I'm the principal." "And I don't care." I walked ahead of her and made a bee line for my homeroom.
