violet's pov;

I sat at the back of the classroom, messing around with my pencil as the minutes tick by during detention.

It was now Friday and I have successfully not slept with Ethan during the entire week. In fact, I've avoided him as much as I could and possibly made him a tad jealous when I started hanging out with Grayson a lot more. He was actually really sweet and genuine when you get to know him, despite his little fuckboy reputation and his cocky attitude.

It was just Ethan and I in detention. He was trying to communicate with me but I wasn't having it. Sitting for half an hour in silence didn't seem too bad; I could've easily got an hour detention.

I feel something get thrown at me so I look at Ethan. He rolls his eyes at me and signals to look at my desk. I picked up the crumpled piece of paper and opened it, reading his scrawny handwriting.

Let's sneak out

"No." I mouthed, with an angry expression. He sunk down into his chair, rolling his eyes at me once again.

I was already clearly pissed about being here since Shawn was having his bonfire tonight, meaning I had to get ready as well as drive up to the beach. I had posted the whole thing on social media and Grayson helped spread the word. Joey was helping Shawn set up with drinks and all the food. It was good that Shawn had a beach house though which was kinda awesome.

I looked at the teacher who suddenly made eye contact with me. She lets out a deep sigh, "I'll let you two out of here if you answer my question correctly." Ethan looks at me with a pleading look and I look back at her.

"What is it?"

"What is the nucleus of an atom made up of?"

"Protons and neutrons." I answer. That was an easy ass question that we learn in like 7th grade. She smiles, almost sympathetically. I think she just felt sorry that I got dragged into detention because Ethan was talking to me.

"Correct. The two of you may leave." she says. "Oh and Ethan, next time you're late to my class, I'll be phoning home."

"Sorry Miss." Ethan says, grabbing his bag as I followed him out of class.

"You're going to the bonfire right?" Ethan asks.

"Duh." I roll my eyes. "Shawn is one of my best friends." I say.

"Oh, yeah. Him." Ethan says, his voice laced with disgust.

"Do you wanna drive up tog—" Ethan asks but gets cut off by Alicia.

"Ethan." she sings before our eyes meet.

"Why are you talking to her?" she immediately questions.

I look at Ethan, with a fake surprised look too, "Yeah Ethan, why are you talking to me!" I smile, folding my arms. He rolled his eyes, a small smile playing on his lips.

"Ugh, let's get outta here before I catch something." she says.

"The only thing you'll be catching, is STDs." I roll my eyes with a scoff as I make my way to my car. I turn around and see Alicia and Ethan arguing once again. I pulled out of the car park and began to drive myself home.

I get a call as the bluetooth rings throughout my car. I answer it quickly as Joey starts speaking.

"Hey, so everything is set up. Party starts at 7 so I'll see you at 6 right?" she asks. I nod my head, realising that she can't see me.
