The red haired prom queen took her seat at the front desk. She ignores the blonde geek who sits behind her. The jock walked up to the red head's table and pointed to a chair next to her. The princess shrugged and the athlete sat down.
John walks into the library. He pilfers some objects from the checkout desk. Ignoring the two popular teens, the criminal walks over to the geek's desk and makes him get out of his seat. The nerd gets up and walks over to the desk opposite from the criminal. John sits down and so does the geek.
A girl dressed in all black walks in. Ignoring the other teens, she walks around the ugly statue and takes a seat at the desk behind the nerd. She turns her back to the others.
Princess and Athlete share a look and snicker.
Jessica walks in. Ignoring the preps' sneer at her outfit, she takes her seat behind John.
Richard Vernon walks in and faced the six detainees.
"Well, well. Here we are. I want to congratulate you for being on time." The principal said smugly.
"Excuse me, sir?" Princess asked, raising her hand. "I think there's been a mistake. I know it's detention but um, I don't think I belong in here."
"Stuck up little princess." Jessica thought with an eye roll.
Vernon ignores the red head.
"It is now 7:06. You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes to think about why you're here. Ponder the error of your ways." He stated.
Jessica hears a hacking sound. She turns around to see John spit up high in the air and catch it in his mouth.
The hippie looked impressed. Princess looked away, disgusted.
"You will not talk." Vernon said to the prom queen.
"You will not move from these seats." Vernon said to the geek who was moving around.
The geek stayed in his seat.
Vernon walks over to John's desk and pulls the chair out from under his feet.
"And you will not sleep." He said.
"All right people, we're going to do something a little different today. We are going to write an essay." Vernon starts to place blank paper and No. 2 pencils on the geek's table and the quiet girl's desk.
"No less than a thousand words describing to me who you think you are." Vernon said as he placed paper and pencil on Jessica's desk and John's desk.
"Is this a test?" John asked.
"And when I say essay, I mean essay. I do not mean a single word repeated a thousand times." Vernon continued as he placed two pencils and two pieces of paper on the desk where Princess and Athlete were sitting.
"Is that clear Mr. Bender and Miss Maitland?" Vernon asked.
"Crystal." John replied.
"Perfectly," Jessica said.
"Good. You'll learn something from yourselves. Maybe you'll decide whether or not you care to return." Vernon said.
The nerd stood up.
"You know I can answer that right now, because that'd be no, no for me sir..."
"Suck up." Jessica thought, rolling her eyes.
"Sit down, Johnson." Vernon snapped.
"Thank you, sir." Johnson said as he sat down.
"My office is right across that hall. Any monkey business is ill-advised. Any questions?"
No response. Just as Vernon was about to leave, John speaks up.
"Yeah, I got a question. Does Barry Mani low know that you raid his wardrobe?" John asked.
Jessica snickers.
"I'll give you the answer to that question Mr. Bender, next Saturday. You too Miss Maitland, since you find it amusing. Don't mess with the bull, you two. You'll get the horns." Vernon leaves the room.
"That man is a brownie hound." John said.
"The hell he is." Jessica said.
Just as everyone was getting comfortable, there is loud, snapping sound. Jessica turns around to see the mute girl biting her fingernails. She looks up to see Princess and Johnson looking disgusted while Athlete looked surprised and John looked shocked. Jessica on the other hand, looked amused. The girl continued to bite her nails.
"Keep eating your hand, you're not going to be hungry for lunch." John said.
The basket case spits her nail at Bender, but missed.
"I've seen you before, you know." Bender turns to the bohemian girl.
"But I haven't." He said.
"What's your point?" The blonde asked.
Vernon peeks out from his office to see who was talking. John and Jessica turn away.
