detention

thirteen - kai

friday finally rolls around, and soon enough, i'm in last period waiting for the bell.

i sigh, and close my eyes. but it's not long before i open them again, just to check the time.

i pull out my phone, and i'm surprised to see a text message from elliot. i quickly text him back, racking my brain for excuses to use as to why i can't meet him after school.

i settle with, 'sorry, i gotta take care of something. meet me outside yours at 6?'

when he replies with a simple, 'ok, see you.' i feel my nerves calm down.

and i shove my phone away, just as the bell goes off. i grab my bag and shove my books inside, closing it and standing up.

i dash out the door, cutting in front of a few other students in the class. but i'm not bothered about that, i'm bothered about finding someone.

i stand in the halls, watching the crowd disperse. and then i see him.

one of the guys that upset elliot and his brother.

i stalk behind him as he begins leaving school, but i don't give him a chance to get any further.

i grab onto his shoulder, spinning him around and i immediately shove him against the wall.

"what are you playing at?" he spits, narrowing his eyes at me.

this earns him a quick punch to his stomach, which leads him to have a tiny coughing fit. "i have something to say." i state simply, waiting for the coughing to stop.

when it does, he stands up straight. some might think this was him trying to square up to me, but he's already taller than me, so that'd be pointless.

i half expected him to try and hit me, or at least push me away.

instead, he raises his eyebrow, but doesn't say a word. he looks at something behind me, and i don't get the chance to do anything else, before i'm suddenly pulled away and shoved against the wall next to him.

my head whips in the other direction, and quickly begins throbbing. the sucker hit me!

this was caused by his friend, who's a lot bigger than the first guy i wanted to deal with; so i look him up and down, disgust evident on my face. i suddenly, and forcefully push him back, knocking him to the floor.

and i step on his ankle, not allowing him to get up.

"if you don't leave elliot alone, i swear to god, i will catch each of you out individually and knock your teeth out one by one." i say, eyeing the two of them cautiously.

"concerned about your boyfriend?" the one on the floor coos.

i tilt my head at this, and look down. a i give him a pearly smile, before lifting up my leg, and slamming it back down on his own.

he cries out in pain, but i don't react. instead, i lunge forward pushing the other one back against the wall.

"i mean it. leave him alone." i say, my nose almost touching his.

i spin on my heel, walking straight into a teacher. i had no idea who she was, but she looked angry.

"detention. monday. and you better come up with some excuse as to why you lot were fighting in the halls!" she says, before turning and walking away.

"and no more fighting!" she adds, yelling. i watch as she goes out of sight, and i shrug, continuing to walk away.

once i get out of the school building, i walk to the skatepark. my safe space.

but when it comes into view, i see someone else already there. i sigh, and walk closer anyway.

i walk in, settling myself down on one of the benches, watching the other person silently. but i mentally curse when i see who it is.

jake.

soon enough, he notices me too, and starts walking over to me. he raises his eyebrow at me when he gets close enough.

"dude, what the hell happened to you?"

i sigh loudly, "i got in a fight. please don't say anything to elliot."

"with who?" he asks, ignoring my previous request.

when i don't answer, he scoffs. "again?"

i shrug, "i told them to back off, that's all."

i watch as jake shakes his head at me, before turning around and out of the skatepark. "good luck explaining that."

i guessed i was pretty roughed up. so i decided to just go home and clean up. maybe i'd have to cancel on elliot?
