The lessons that day went by unbelievably slowly. After what felt like days, school had finally ended. I was jumping for joy that I would finally spend some time with Mark! Catching sight of me, making it seem like I loved detention, Mrs Say raised her eyebrows at me. My cheeks flustered when she bellowed, " Calm down! You're acting like you actually want to be in detention with..Mark."
I rolled my eyes, well, faked it and made it look like her accusation was completely untrue. I took the seat beside Mark, and stared into space. Mark and I were alone in the room, adding to the romance and the excitement concealed inside of me. Mrs Say monitered us but she was barely paying attention, busily marking the worksheets we had done that day.
Soon, she left the classroom and made her way to the staffroom. Now was my chance.
"Psst! Mark! What're you in detention for?"
"Oh..um..I shot paper bullets at Zara," he replied, fiddling with his pens at the same time. I was barely able to keep the conversation going, and he showed signs of boredom.
"Oh, okay. So...um...are you going to prom?" I suddenly burst out, immediately wishing to take it back. What had I done? I was pretty much telling him that I like him.
"Uh...yeah...I guess so," he replied, seeming uncertain and raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, okay. Yeah, me too. Who're you gonna ask out?" I asked, slightly, but barely more confident.
"Oh..I don't know. Gayatri, maybe?" His expression was unreadable. Somewhere between take aback and anxious. But mine, purely depressed.
