Terrific Trouble

That First Detention

Alice POV
"Shove it," I said to Penelope Blossom. We were standing in the bathroom. Her, being the teacher's pet she was, asked for my hall pass. Then I smacked her. She smacked back, and there began our road to detention. Just as the whole thing started, Hermione and Sierra walked in and joined us, so they got in trouble too. We were yelled at by the teachers and told to got to our class and that we would be in Saturday detention. Penelope glared at us and we all just laughed.

That day after school, I was walking with Hermione because she was the coolest one at our school. We were going to the football field to watch practice which started in about a half hour. We were about 100 feet from the field when we saw two guys running, naked, towards us. I recognized them both. One was FP Jones, and the other Fred Andrews. I looked at Hermione and we both laughed. "Hot dang," I said with a smirk. "FP, I swear he's the god of hotness."

"Come on, Fred is wayyy better," Hermione said. We argued until the guys came on the field in full equipment. FP saw us and ran over. I went up to the fence. He greeted me a with a kiss.

"Hey, babe, have a good practice," I said, "I'll be waiting for you afterwards." I winked and he smirked.

An hour and half later, after practice, and FP was the only one left in the dressing room, which we had planned. Hermione had left with Fred and all the other guys had gone too. I walked into the guys dressing room, something I had definitely done before, and saw FP standing in only underwear. I ran up to him and kissed him.

"Babe, let me shower," he said.

"I'll join you," I said, smirking and pulling off my leather jacket.

"Alice Smith, keep your clothes on," FP said, climbing in the shower.

"You know you want it," I said. I pulled the rest of my clothes off and stepped in the shower.

"God, Alice," FP said. I stopped his words by kissing him. And well one thing led to another....

Penelope POV
"Please, Sierra, I cannot go home to my crazy family," I said, desperation in my voice.

"Fine," Sierra said with a sigh. "My mom won't care."

"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed happily. "I would've asked Hermione, but she's with Fred and all and I really don't wanna get involved in all that." Sierra nodded and we both laughed. We walked to Sierra's house and she unlocked the door. It was a Friday night and we had detention tomorrow. We had to be there by 8 am. Stupid Alice I thought to myself. If she would stop being such a Southside bastard for two minutes, good lord.

"You alright?" Sierra asked me. My face must've shown my anger. I nodded and we began to chat.

"Okay, Pen, you can't tell anyone. You're the first one that knows, but me and Tom Keller, uh were kinda a thing. Secretly," Sierra said to me.

"Really?!" I said, a bit too loud. I lowered my voice and asked, "How long?"

"About two months now." My jaw dropped. How do you keep a relationship secret for that long?

Fred POV
"Babe, I'm gonna have to drop our date for brunch tomorrow," I said. "Featherhead caught me and FP streaking across the school lawn. Well, that didn't go over well." Hermione giggled.

"It's okay, I have detention too. Me, Alice, Penelope, and Sierra got in like a cat fight in the bathroom...," Hermione said. "So we're in crap too." We both laughed and then I kissed her. She returned it. We made out for awhile, but then she broke the kiss. "Let's watch a movie," Hermione said. "I just rented the Breakfast Club again." I laughed, but curled up on her couch. She put in the movie and sat beside me. We watched the whole thing and then I went home.

FP POV
Alice and I stayed that night in a cheap motel room just down the street from the school. The night was a long one, with little or no sleep. We had to be back at eight, which sucked. We both woke up at the same time, limbs entangled. I kissed her good morning and got up. I pulled my jeans and t-shirt on. Then I put on my letterman jacket and sneakers. Alice stood up and got dressed also. We walked to the school, grabbing coffee on our way. We arrived at 7:59. We went into the detention room, where Fred, Hermione, Penelope, and Hermione already sat, separated by at least a desk. You see these weren't exactly the crowds we usually ran with. Even Alice and I. Our relationship wasn't really a relationship at all. More like a series of flings. I messed around with other girls whenever I wanted.

I walked in and sat down. Alice sat a few rows back from me. Then, Principal Featherhead walked in the room. "You will be here for a solid eight hours, no talking, no moving, heck I don't even want you to breathe. By the end of that time I expect a 1000 word essay on why you're here." He threw papers at all of us.

Sierra's hand went up immediately, "What if we have to pee?" she asked when called upon.

"You hold it," the principal said. "I will be in my office down the hall all day because I have nothing better to do." He walked out, closing the door behind him. When he left, Alice threw her paper on the floor and left it there. Penelope and I were the only ones working. Fred was tapping his pencil like a drumstick, Hermione was just sitting there, Sierra was doodling on her paper. And Alice had moved to the window and pulled out a knife. She was etching something in the windowsill. Fred stopped tapping and began writing.

Soon, he became annoyed with Alice's scratching so he said, "Dude, can you not?"

She rolled her eyes and replied, "Dude, can you bite me?" She continued etching and Fred turned around and kept working. After about an hour, Alice was still sitting in the window. "Okay, no one is doing anything, so I suggest we play secrets and sins." This was Alice's idea of course, but we were all bored out of our minds so we sat in a circle and began. We had been playing for a while when Penelope and Hermione got into a fight. It started as an argument, but quickly escalated. Alice, happily, joined in. Then, obviously hearing the commotion, Featherhead walked in.

Alice POV
"I'm adding five more Saturday detentions to each of your sentences," Featherhead said once we were all back in our seats. He strut out again and I went up to the front. I bent down and pulled a bobbypin out of my hair. I began to pick the lock on the desk drawer.

"Alice, I don't think you should do that!" Penelope said to me. I rolled my eyes and continued.

"He's been hoarding our stuff for years. It's time to get it back," I said, smirking. Then the drawer popped open. I pulled out Fred's drumsticks, Hermione's game boy, and a bunch of other stuff. At the bottom of the drawer lay a box. I pulled it out. It was a board game called 'Gryphons and Gargoyles'. "Guys, let's play." I showed them the box.

"Let's not," Fred said, "it's not even ours."

"So?" I said. Everyone decided that we had nothing better to do.
