Steps at School

This one-shot is a request from @TudorPrincess12 with the prompt being about Steps being in school or in dentention hall in fact. This was definitely entertaining to write! Thinking about doing another one-shot like this :) Hope you enjoy reading it! :)

The girls and boys are sitting on their chairs, looking at each other in silence. They're all here for a reason, they all did something that made them being scolded and to be in dentention hall. Not that anyone of them is bothered to talk about it, though.

However after a while, one of them starts to talk. "So, what brought you to dentention hall?" he questions curiously. 

"Would you please stop talking to us, yeah, thank you." Faye snaps at him. "Oh my, it honestly is so boring here. I could actually be at rehearsals now."

"Oh yeah, you're a cheerleader!" H teases her. "But I don't see a cheerleader outfit."

"Yes because I need to be in dentention hall with you all!" she exclaims annoyed. 

"And how come you are here?" H tries to get an answer again. He's here because of sending a letter to one of his classmates, occasionally talking and interrupting the lessons. 

"I preferred to spend my time with some pretty boys instead of attending our lessons." Faye explains, grinning at him. "And what about you all?"

H looks at the others curiously, now he brought the conversation exactly were he wanted. 

"I played football and broke a window." Lee says, shrugging. "That teacher was so angry I thought he's going to destroy my football or something."

Faye lets out a laugh, unlike the girl that's sitting next to her. Being very shy, they all asked themselves why Claire actually is here in dentention hall. She isn't like the kind of person who would break windows or be rude towards a teacher. Just a polite and shy girl who was mostly spending her time with reading as she didn't found mates in school yet.

"So, why are you here?" Lisa asks Claire. 

Lisa basically isn't shy but also not as rude as Faye could be. Lisa usually spends her time with her brothers, and most recently they acted in a school play together which included singing and dancing. Lisa loved to sing and dance, secretly wanting to be a performer.

"Just because." she shrugs. 

"Great answer!" Faye laughs. "What do you think, should we just all walk out and do whatever we want?" she asks, looking at a small mirror in her hands and checking her mascara.

"Oh, so the teacher will scold you again?" Lee asks. "Great idea. Honestly."

"You would prefer to play football too!" she snaps at him. "It's not nice to be in detention hall!"

"Well, if you prefer to go to rehearsals instead of your lessons." someone said. With a surprised expression, Faye looks at Claire whose cheeks are now blushing upon realising what she just said. It's not like Faye is the leader of the class, but she's part of a crew of popular people - cheerleader girls and the handsome, popular guys - and they aren't liked by everyone of their classmates.

Now, her expression changes to really puzzled before she bits her lip. "Whatever." she snaps, deciding to focus on looking out of the window instead.

"I somehow preferred to rehearse too." Lisa admits. "Dancing for a new stage production."

"You like dancing?" Claire asks curiously, seeming to be less shy now, almost like out of her shell. "Dancing like- like these pop stars?"

Faye bursts out into laughter again, all eyes resting on her. Just as she's laughing at her fellow girls, Claire is bursting into tears, going to a little corner at the others side of the room where she cries. She's already scolding herself for asking this, knowing that people would laugh at her yet again. Previously explaining that she wants to be a singer, her former classmates used to bully her. And now, people are laughing at her again. She should just be shy again.
