Different

Chapter 8

As the bell rang I left biology and made my way to math class, the only class me and Spencer had together. I waited outside the room with about 10 other people looking around for Spencer. When he showed up he pulled me into his arms and we started to kiss. I don’t know how long we were kissing for, but it was long enough for Mr Fletcher to catch us and give us detention.

‘Mr Fletcher, I’m sure you know that I’m on the football team and we have practice tonight so I can’t have detention today.’ Spencer said with a smirk.

Mr Fletcher looked mildly annoyed ‘You can have detention tomorrow instead then, but your detention is still tonight Jenna, go to room 6 as soon as this lesson finishes.’

Great. At least my mom won’t be home so she won’t know that I’ve had detention.

Math class went by slowly, as it always did. 10 minutes left of this and then an hours detention, how fun. Ugh. When the 10 minutes had passed the bell rang and everyone hurried out of the classroom. In the corridor Spencer pulled me to one side. ‘Sorry for leaving you in detention babe.’

‘It’s fine, you have it tomorrow anyway.’ I sighed.

‘There is no way I’m going tomorrow, he’ll have forgotten all about it by then anyway.’ he laughed. I rolled my eyes feeling slightly annoyed.

We parted ways and I walked into room 6 for detention. ‘Name?’ A teacher I’d never seen before asked me. ‘Jenna.’ I replied.

‘Clark or Broughton?’

Ew, whose last name was Broughton? It sounds gross. ‘Clark’ I replied.

‘Sit here.’ she said pointing to a desk. As I looked over I saw that Luke was sat right next to the desk I had to sit at. I started to protest ‘But..’

‘No buts! You will sit where I tell you to or you will spend the day in isolation tomorrow.’ she barked. I walked over to the desk and sighed heavily as I sat down. I could feel Luke looking at me from the corner of my eye, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at him.

Jenna Broughton turned up and she looked as bad as her last name sounded. Ew. Two scary looking boys showed up too. We were all just sat there in silence until the teacher’s phone went off. She went outside the room to answer it and returned a couple of minutes later. ‘I have to go to the main office since there has been an incident. I trust you all to behave while I am gone.’

Literally 2 minutes after she’d left to deal with whatever the incident was Jenna Broughton and the 2 boys walked out. Me and Luke stayed sat down, completely ignoring each other. The room was tense. It was making my stomach tighten and I felt a little queasy too.

A little while later my phone bleeped making us both jump since it was such a contrast to the silence. I pulled it out of my pocket to see who had texted me.

from Savannah

:O thats not like you!

I put my phone away, I could explain to them tomorrow what had happened since it wasn’t even that interesting. Just as my hands left my jeans pocket Luke turned around to face me, I froze. I’d never noticed how blue his eyes were before...
