Perfect Piece of Forever

Chapter 6

When I entered the room; it's awfully not how I imagined it would be!

Mrs. Headly, our former art teacher was assigned to detention and she's asleep -_- Not minding what's happening around her.

So I made my way to a seat by the window. I can't believe I'll stay here for five murderously hours at school. I should be home by that, but no. I'm stuck here in this dingy room with a couple making out, a stinky and disgusting kid picking his nose and an emo girl with a very dark shade of lipstick is staring at me tremendously.

I always thought that detention would be in a library, assisting the librarian, cleaning the room or community service but it's worse than those things. Looked around to see if there's anything to work with, but no! Not a single textbook to read. I just thumped my head annoyingly on my desk.

I had a flashback of what happend earlier. That jerk! I was humiliated infront of the whole class. Does he really hate me? Should I say sorry for him? No! He's just giving me a headache.

Don't stress yourself to much on that guy. He's not even worth your timeI thought to myself.

Speaking of the devil, He's here! And he's seated next to me. 

GOSH! why am I so nervous? 

"Hey." I approached.

THE HELL? WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT?

"Hi." he replied.

He leans down to fumble in his bag before pulling out a pair of earbuds and an iPhone. i just rolled my eyes as he leaned back into the chair and closing his eyes.

I feel sorry for him. I mean, this is not me anymore, so I pulled out the earbuds from his ear and said, "I'm sorry."

Few minutes later he shifts unfomfortably in his seat and asked,

"What did you just say?"

"There's no way I'm going to repeat that." I answered.

He turned towards my direction. "Why are you saying sorry?"

I snorted. "See, you heard it. I was saying sorry because I felt guilty of what I did to you, the other day."

There! I said it!

"I'm sorry too. You know, for doing those to you and there's a lot of worst things I'm about to do to you."

"What? So you're still going to annoy me?"

"Yes. We're still not friends." He picked up his bag and just left.

He still hates me, which made me want to hate him more! But stil, he said sorry so I only hate him 98% by now and there's that. I sighed lightly and also I made my way out. There's no way I'm going to stay here for four more hours!

"So, I heard you had detention. How'd it go?"

Mom asked as she carried the dirty dishes over the sink.

"Awful."

Dad then, appeared in the kitchen and handed mom her phone.

"It's your first time in detention." says Dad.

"I know."

Why are they bringing up this topic again? I don't wanna hear the blabbering about the detention thingy.

"Do you know how dissapointed we are to you?" Mom faced me towards her.

I tried to hold back my anger. "I don't wanna talk about it. It's not an issue anyway."

"Not an issue? We expect our daughter to be more responsible and careful with her actions and words. Who got you into trouble?" Mom asked with a worried face.

I sighed.

"It's the new kid, Skyler Finn."

Dad's eyes widened and they exchanged confusing looks in unison."S-Steve Finn's son?"

"Do you know that guy?" I asked.

Okay, am I missing something?

"Yeah. We just had a business deal with his dad, actually. We decided to open a new branch of our diner and talked a little." Mom replied.

"You had a partnership with his dad?!"

"Apparently, yes. Why?"

"Ugggh! I'm going to bed. Good night." I kissed the both in the cheeks and made my way to my room upstairs."

I opened my laptop to check my facebook account and I saw 4 messages from Kayla that says,

Are you alright Carter? Sorry about your detention :(

You won't believe this, Eric Lore actuallu talked to me!!! He says that he likes my hair! Geez.

Carter, are you still there?

Why are you not replying??? Please text me if you read this.

Kayla is really my bestfriend but she's exaggerating sometimes and I don't know why though.

So I took out my phone and texted her.

To: Kayla

Hey. Sorry I just read your facebook messages a while ago. I'm okay now and I have a really bad day and goodluck with Eric :*

PS: I am so not dating Skyler!

SENT!

Then my phone beeped and an unknown caller showed up in my screen. And it's the same number number that has been sending me threats. I remembered! This is Skyler's phone number.

Should I answer it? No!

So I declined the call and headed to bed. Closing my eyes and letting out a sigh keeps my world away from all distress. I just need a good sleep.

Skyler's POV

I kept on calling her and she dosen't answer! What's wrong with her?

Oh I forgot what happend earlier today. We got ourselves to detention. I wasn't mad at her for Christ's sake! 

I just really had a bad day and maybe I got carried away by my mood swings.

Fuck! I sounded like a thirteen-year old girld on her period.

I opened my computer and Carter's face appeared first. Looks like she just changed her profile picture.I stared at her picture for a moment.

She looks absolutely radiant, happy and care-free. She's not a dork 'cause she has no glasses but she acts and dresses like one. Her smile is breathtaking and she's adorable when she's angry. 

Cut it off man! Your losing it. I caught myself staring at her picture so I printed her picture and pasted it at the back of my door.

I put on my earbuds and ipod and simply closed my eyes.

Why am I smiling for Carter Rose Richards?
