CAPTURE>>Why don't we

CHAPTER ELEVEN: DETENTION

B: h-hi Mr Eben?
Mr E: Billie? You have detention?!
B: yeah
Mr E: well let's hope it doesn't happen again
B: yeah
Mr E: alright, simple rules. No talking, no phones just homework for the next two hours
B: y-yes Mr Eben
Mr E: uh...oh there! Have a seat next to Mr Besson please
B: Mr Besson?!
Mr E: is there a problem?
B: uh...no sir I'm just shocked, I didn't think he would be in detention
Mr E: okay then hurry along, I have work to do

Corbyn? What is he doing here? He's such a good kid and has no reputation of detention or anything like that. I slowly walk up to his desk with confusion on my face. He smiles at me while I sit down next to him.

CORBYN'S POV:
Should I tell her I'm only in detention because I heard she was? I had to see her somehow

*whisper*
B: what are you doing here?
C: hey beautiful, I got detention just so I could spend two hours with you
B: you what! Corbyn you didn't have to ruin your school reputation...we could have arranged something!
C: really? It seems like lately you've been hanging with Jonah, Jack and Daniel a lot so I didn't think m you'd have time for me
B: well yeah bu-
C: can you tell me something and I need you to be 100% honest with me
B: okay...
C: do you have feelings for any of them?
B: who?
C: Jonah, Jack, Daniel, Zach?
B: i-i don't know...
C: I thought so

I look down making no effort to hide my disappointment. She notices and takes my hand under the desk

B: whats wrong?
C: nothing...I'm fine
B: no you're not and...why would you care...if I did like them, I'm not saying I do
C: isn't it obvious...I care so much, so much that it hurts. I left Haley because I hate the way she treats you. Ever since that day at the café I-i can't stop thinking about you. I love everything about you, your eyes, personality, beauty within and out, your "nerd" side, the way you don't give boys your number
B: haha
C: haha...we would be here all day if I had to list everything I love about you because there's just so much to love! You are one of a kind and you're always on my mind,I wanna spend all my time with you because...I'm really, really into you. I guess what I'm tryna say is...I love you Billie and my only desire is to be with you

BILLIE'S POV:
Is this a joke...am I dreaming? Did Corbyn dreamy eyes, cute blonde, way out of my league Besson just tell me he loves me? This has to be some sort of prank...all three of them can't all like me! Butterfly's fill my stomach and I'm all of a sudden out of words.

B: Corbyn...I- I can't say I don't feel the same towards you
I don't know how many times I've said these exact words over the last few days
C: really!
B: yeah but...I'm not sure yet

Correction- I'm not sure if I want to be with Jonah, Daniel or him! Thank goodness jack and Zach have some sense and don't like me...I don't know what they see in me?

C: yeah course...take your time!
Mr E: Mr Besson stop talking!
C: sorry sir

For the rest of detention he didn't let go of my hand. Detention isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I see it as a two hour quiet homework session? I'm kind of enjoying it?Especially since Corbyn continuously keeps staring at me and making me laugh. Before I know it detention is over and Corbyn walks me out.

B: I think I see Zee's car  pulling up
C: well...it's been real
B: yeah
C: please text or call me when you have the chance?
B: of course

He wraps me tightly in his arms and I rest my head on his chest. I feel like nothing can hurt me in his arms. Nothing is said but many feelings are shared in this moment.
HONK HONK!!!
Ze: ay love birds!
B: shut up will you?
Ze: ohhh Corbyn! I see you making moves...the beans come out his shell?!
C: yeah thanks for that Zee
He says sarcastically
Ze: anytime
B: you think your real funny don't you Zendaya?
Ze: yeah I'm class, now when you're done with your...uh...love session please, feel free to jump in Billie
C:well...I'll see you tomorrow
B: yeah...see you
C: *whisper* bye beautiful

He sees me looking familiarly uncomfortable so I quickly hop in the car and I tell Zee to drive.
(Strong language used in the next part)
Ze: so...how was detention?
B: it wasn't actually that bad I-
Ze: screw that, do you really think I want to know about that!
B: he was there when I got there and he kinda...told me he likes me
Ze: shut the fuckin front door!
B: language
Ze: let me get this straight. Jonah, Daniel and now Corbyn all fallen head over heels for you?
B: Zee it doesn't feel real...I feel like I'm in a big dream, I mean...why me?
Ze: coz you're you, who wouldn't fall in love with you? What's not to love?
B: have you seen me?
Ze: yeah I have and so have five other boys
B: who's the fourth and fifth?
Ze: duh, Jack and Zach
B: Zach doesn't like me and Jack definitely doesn't like me! We're literally best friends, nothing more
Ze: mmmkay
B: Zee you're delusional- wait,where exactly are you taking me
Ze: I've been wanting to go to this new place downtown called stand up. People do stand up comedy, singing, poetry and all that. Apparently it's the shit and you're obviously coming with me
RING RING!!!
My phone rings and the screen flashes brightly
B: Ughh it's my mom!
Ze: well I don't blame her, you kinda didn't come home and now you're still not at home and it's late evening
B: yeah, who's faults that. Hello mom?
M: where have you been young lady?!
B: sorry mom. After the beach I went to...uh...Zee's...she-her boyfriend broke up with her
M: why didn't you call me?
B: sorry mom I was distracted helping my best friend!
I say as if it's the most obvious thing in the world
M: okay but where are you now?
B: Zee needs to feel better so she's taking me to this place called stand up or something. It's just downtown, I'll be back by nine latest I promise
M: okay but when you didn't come home...it was like when...your brother-
B: mom please, I'll never do that to you
M: okay...be safe
B: okay, love you bye
I put my phone down and breath a sigh of relief. The part I'd been dreading the most is over
B: glad that's over but you better get me back before nine or-
Ze:really! I "broke up" with my boyfriend
B:well...you do have one
Ze: yeah and I don't need people talkin 'bout us breaking up!
B: sorry Zee, I didn't mean-
Ze: yeah whatever, we're here anyway

We get out the car and Zee seems really upset. I take her arm and spin her around

B: Zee talk to me, what's wrong?
Ze: it's just...Tom and I...we aren't the greatest
B: you poor thing...come here

I force a hug onto her even though she's resisting it. She isn't the touchy type and she doesn't like it when she's pitied or when people feel sorry for her. She doesn't like "feeling" feelings or emotions and it's very rare for her to cry.

Ze: could you stop pitying me, I said I'm fine you weirdo
B: thats my Daya
Ze: ew your so gross can you stop calling me that. Can we just go already?
B: haha yeah

We both giggle and walk in arm around each other's shoulders. We get inside, order some drinks and we chill at a table waiting for the show to start. The show kicks off with some talented comedians and poets, the vibe is so energetic and friendly. They announce that a young singer is coming up next.
