I strum my fingers impatiently against the table and glance at the clock. 20 minutes more, then I am out of this hellhole.
Detention is boring. For the past 40 minutes, I have been doing nothing except sleeping and daydreaming. That's the price I have to pay for entering a class later than I was supposed to.
Thinking back to what happened just now, I can't help but to feel a little down. It would be heart-shattering for me if my theories are true but, I understand. Nobody will want to be seen with me and risk being jeered at, with the exception of Daphne.
However, my feelings for Nathan doesn't waver despite what had happened, nor does my opinion of him. Him lending an arm to me in the first place is enough to prove that he's a nice person, the more reason for me to like him.
I can still vividly remember the quick beating of my heart when my fingers touched his, sending jolts of electricity through my body. It all felt so surreal until he started acting weird but I have decided to not let that bothers me as I know that there's a fat chance for me to ever cross paths with him again and I will never get to find out the reasons behind his actions.
Just then, my phone vibrates against the thin fabric of my jeans and I stealthily take it out while keeping my eyes on the teacher in charge, who at the moment is busy marking her papers. Apparently, there is a rule against students using their phones during detention as the school authorities claim it will distract us from self-reflecting. Bah. Such bull.
With a quick look around the classroom, I am relieved to find that they are all engaged in their own stuff, meaning the chances of me being ratted out by a fellow student is close to none.
After making sure that the teacher is still preoccupied with her marking, I flip on the phone and enter the password in a haste to find that I have just received a text from Daphne.
From : Daphne
Where are you?! I've been waiting for you for half an hour missy. I demand explanations and it better be good.
My eyes widen as I realize it has indeed slipped my mind to inform Daphne I have detention after school. I hate the idea of having anyone to wait for me so after reading that text Daphne had sent, I feel immensely bad. Pursing my lips together, I swiftly type in a reply.
To : Daphne
Oops ! I am sorry. I really am :( Forgot to tell you that I have detention after school, which is now :/ Meet you at your house at 3pm, is that alright? I'll buy you some goodies to make up for my tardiness ;)
Me in detention. I wonder how Daphne will take the news. I have always been one who hands in the homework on time, never talks back to the teachers, never sleep in class, never skips classes and et cetera. Basically, as Daphne would say, I am a goody two shoes who abides by the school rules. I have a clean record, up till now but that is worth it. My lips curve into a goofy smile at the thought of Nathan.
My phone vibrates once again and I check the text, half expecting Daphne to freak out when she knows I got my first detention.
From : Daphne
OMG ! Are you serious?! Congratulations girl ! :D You are now forgiven. This is such a historical moment. What did you do Rini ? I am so proud of you. You have grown up into a big girl :') And yes, 3 is fine.
Now, I wasn't expecting that sort of freak out. I thought that she would have a fit of some sort. Clearly, I thought wrong.
With an amused smile on my face, I text Daphne back.
To : Daphne
Woah woah chill there. I can't believe you're excited over the fact of me getting a detention. It's not something to be proud of. I am still in detention Daphne..so I'll tell you everything later :) I promise. Byee ! See ya ltr.
Within seconds, Daphne texts back.
From : Daphne
Trust me, that's worth a celebration. Alright then, don't leave out a single piece of detail from me ltr ;) Can't wait to see ya ! Byee <3
I shake my head in amusement and tuck my phone back into my pocket and the bell rings just in time. Looking up, the clock shows 2:30 p.m.
I smile in satisfaction. Detention is over.
Finally.
