_______________

It was Monday morning and all everyone seemed to talk about was the party. Usually I hated when all they could talk about was a stupid party I didn’t even care to attend to. But this time I didn’t actually mind. It was one of some few parties I had actually enjoyed. And of course it gave me a big opportunity to talk so freely about Jordan without anyone realizing how love struck I am.

Not even Clary had minded my babbling about Jordan today. But that might have something to do with her zoning out all the time. I wasn’t sure why she did that all the time, but I was pretty sure it had something to do with the little time she left me alone at the party the other day. And I have tried to ask her about it, but she just shrugs it off or changes the subject to something Jordan related. Not that I mind the last one, but I would really like to find out what is going on.

And when it comes to Karma, we became really good friends. She has a fantastic personality. And she is always filled with so much energy and always being positive. She is super funny, but when she finally gets annoyed her sarcasm is hysterical. She is such a cool girl.
We had been chatting all weekend and gotten to know each other. When I say all weekend I just mean the time I wasn’t busy stalking my crush over the internet. Call me obsessed, but I couldn’t get him out of my mind all weekend. And come on, we all have been stalking our crush a little bit.

Anyway it even turned out that she was Brydon’s sister, the bass player in The Heartbreakers. She always wanted to play with them but they never let her. I haven’t heard her play yet, but if she is family with Brydon, I know she has talent. So technically I may not have told Carter yet, but I’m sure he’ll like her. If not, that’s his problem. I was the one starting the band, that makes me the leader right?

I said goodbye to Clary and Karma, and excited the cafeteria a bit early today. I had forgotten to borrow a book at the library which I needed to my next period and for homework. And since the library was in the opposite side of the building than my next class I figured I might go a bit early so I wouldn’t be late.

As I entered the library and headed straight for the section I needed, I hears some noise. It wasn’t that loud. But no one actually used the library this time of the day. People were here even in the beginning of the free period or just before the next class started. Therefore being others here surprised me.

I grabbed with me the book I needed and headed for the registering. As I passed some shelves I noticed two shapes at the other side. Out of curiosity I made my way around the shelf to see who it was. But I stopped the second I noticed who it was and what was happening. I felt embarrassed, like I just had walked into and disturbed something. And I kind of had.

But that wasn’t the only thing I felt. Shock passed through me. And hurt followed right after. I felt my body starting to shake and tears threatening to spill.

“Oh, Aubrey” the voice I just yesterday had thought belonged to an angel acknowledged me. The little smile he gave me showed embarrassment. I didn’t know what to do. It took some seconds before my brain started to function again.

“I’m- I’m sorry” I managed to squeak out without my voice cracking too much. And before I could do anything more stupid that would lead to humiliate me even more, I ran to the registering before heading to the girl’s restroom where my makeup disappeared.

I couldn’t control the tears streaming down my face. I always knew my crush on Jordan was to no use. That he never would feel the same way. But seeing him making out with someone else just broke me. How could I be so dumb believing that he might one day feel at least something for me?

He even had the nerves of being a bit embarrassed. Why would he be that? Did he know about my crush in him? Was it really that oblivious? Maybe what Carter told me as a joke once actually was true. I was just too love struck to notice? Well if that was true, he definitely isn’t the angel I always thought he was. That would totally make him ugly-hearted.

Realizing I was maybe over reaction because of the sudden hit in the heart, I dried off the last tears and threw some water in my face. When I had calmed enough down I exited the restroom and made my way to my class. Seeing that the hallways were empty I understood I was going to get detention for being way too late. Shoot. This day just kept being better and better.

Note the sarcasm…

And as the fortune teller I am, my prediction was right. Nor did I just have to get through the rest of the class with angry looks from the teacher, and worried looks from Clary. I also had to go through the rest of the day with tears threatening to spill and wanting nothing more than just hide in bed the rest of the day. And on top of that I made myself my first detention, ever.

This was so not my day.

As I made my way towards detention after my last class I could help but feeling kind of nervous. This was my first detention I had gotten in my whole life. I quickly texted my parents that I would be late, and sent a jealous look at the students heading home before stepping into detention.

I am met by three faces that all have taken seats in the back. They seem like they usually spend their time here after school. Two of them are boys who are messing around with each other. They seem like the perfect partners in crime. And last there is sitting a girl in a black leatherjacket and earphones who seemed pretty bored.

Sighing I took a seat at the second row far away from the others. Mr. Brown entered the classroom with an annoyed look. He seemed as thrilled to be here as I.
As I prepared myself for being here a whole hour another person suddenly entered to room. Of course it had to be Carter, no one else comes too late to detention.

Oh joy, can this day become any greater?

Again please note the sarcasm.

As we met gazes he smirked his famous irritating but hot smirk. I rolled my eyes at him as he took the seat next to mine.

“So it’s true. Daddy’s girl got detention” he chuckled as I glared at him. I was not in the mood for his “funny” remarks.
“I couldn’t quite believe it when I heard it” His smirk grew bigger at my shocked expression. Did people know about it? I mean except the ones in my class.

“If I was nice I could have told you good job because this would definitely make our band seem a bit more badass. But we all know I’m not that nice, and that you definitely didn’t do this on purpose” I huffed in annoyance and turned away as he laughed at his own little joke. What a jerk.

He tried multiple times to get my attention again, but I wouldn’t give in to him. I still felt the urge to cry and I didn’t want him to see that.
“Oh come on Aubrey, it’s not that bad here” he tells me. I throw a quick glans up at Mr. Brown to see if he soon was going to make Carter shut up. But to my surprise he wasn’t there.

“Mr. Brown never stays during the detention. He comes to check if everyone meets up then he leaves and only comes back when the time is up” Carter told me. Huh, what a slacker.

Having nothing to do I give in and let Carter amuse me. It’s the perfect way to forget about the thing at the library earlier today. And it gives me the chance of telling him about Karma. He seemed rather shocked that I was able to find a new band member, and even more shocked when I told him she was Brydon’s sister. I think he was a little irritated that it wasn’t he who came up with the idea of Brydon’s sister.

But what surprised me was that even though all I wanted to do was to curl up in my bed and cry, Carter actually made me laugh. Even when I didn’t want to. Maybe he isn’t just a hot pain in the ass after all.
