"Hey, don't be loud! Can't you see he's sleeping?"
"Are you fucking with me, Bev?"
Suddenly, Eddie jumped up. He felt a slap on his back. He was confused about where he was. Until he regained his consciousness. "Oh shit", he whispered to himself. He was in the middle of a class. He squinted his eyes towards the board and noticed he had Algebra. "Fuck me." It was some kind of special class, because there were gathered freshmen and sophomores, so Stan and Bev were already there.
"What was the dream about?", Bev asked him with a grin.
"I'm- what?!"
"You kept calling someone's name, but luckily the fucker didn't hear you. Couldn't quite catch that either."
Stan turned and faced them now, trying to hold in his laugh.
"I don't know. Just forget the fact that I fell asleep", Eddie nervously said.
"Aw come on man! Tell us", Stan insisted.
"Hey, what's going on there?", the teacher asked with a frown. He was an old alcoholic bastard, at least that's what the losers told Eddie. Everyone was now staring at the three of them. Of course, Eddie was the only one embarrassed, so his cheeks slowly turned red.
"None of your business", Bev said on a firm tone.
The class was silent. She knew damn well she pissed him off now.
"Detention."
"She didn't even do anything! I swear I was-"
"Alright then, Stanley. Both of you have detention after school."
"Fucking hell, man", he whispered under his breath.
Eddie didn't know what to do. They were basically talking because of his stupid ass. "I should do something", he thought.
"Excuse me, Mr. Wilson. I'm sorry for sleeping in your class. I know it was stupid and I should've paid attention, but please don't punish them for something I did."
The teacher's eyes were wide open. Eddie didn't know if he was angry or just really surprised. The other kids were waiting for his answer. Bev kept giving Eddie confused looks, like "what the hell did you just do".
"I appreciate your honesty, but that's not gonna make it. All three of you have detention for not paying attention in my class."
Stanley sighed in disgust. The bell rang and everyone left, except Eddie. "Oh God, my mom's gonna kill me! Damn it!", he kept thinking. The boy finally grabbed his inhaler.
His next class was History. He had to look at the bright side, that he was going to turn in his essay. He was kinda bummed that Stan and Bev left without saying anything to him. He was expecting at least a "thanks", but he knew they got detention because of him, so, fair enough.
He was walking towards his locker, when he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.
"Hi, I heard you got detention. What happened?", Ben asked with a slight smile.
They haven't really hung out with each other, but Eddie had always liked Ben. He seemed like a chill guy.
"Oh, hello Ben. Everything happened kind of fast, but long story short, I fell asleep in Mr. Wilson's class. Big mistake", he rolled his eyes.
"Damn, it must've been hell listening to his lectures. Such a shitty man", Ben said nodding his head.
"It's fine now. It won't happen again, I hope."
