PERMANENT VACATION — 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER We're the voice of the new generation
THE REST OF the day dragged on slowly for the five teens and at the end of the day, Olivia found herself trudging towards detention like someone had tied a weight to her ankle and sent her to the gallows. She could feel her heart pounding against her ribcage as a thousand different scenarios of what awaited her played in her mind. She's never gotten detention before. Would this go on her permanent record? Would colleges reject her because of it? What would her mother say?
In a moment of silence for the fall of her perfect student record, she failed to notice that her pace slowed, no doubt a subconscious attempt to lessen the time she had to spend serving her punishment. Unfortunately, it didn't work because when she walked into the music room, she learned that she was just on time.
When she entered, she found that she wasn't alone. Sitting by the window was Alex, a boy she knew from the percussion section of her music class, next to him was Reggie, who was in her first period English class, in front of him was Bobby, who she faintly remembered from freshman music, and two seats down from him was Luke, her boyfriend's ex-best friend. Jason was no where to be seen.
Letting out a sigh, she took her backpack off her shoulder and sat at the empty desk between Luke and Bobby. The five teens barely spared each other a glance as moments later, Miss Taylor walked in.
"Oh, good," the woman mused, doing a mental head count, "you're all here."
Olivia's eyes widened by a fraction and she discretely looked around the room. Her jaw clenched when she realized Jason wasn't coming. His presence was the only reason she wasn't completely freaking out. If she had to serve a punishment, especially when he was the reason for doing so, she expected him to at least serve it with her. Yet, here she was, all alone with four strangers.
Beside her, Luke wore the exact same expression of disbelief. He was the one provoked into a fight, not Jason, so why should he have to be the one to suffer the consequences? He was only defending himself.
Unbeknownst to both Olivia and Luke, Jason had used the 'I'm the lacrosse captain' card with Mr. Lovett and claimed that he had a practice that he just couldn't miss. Lovett, a far past middle aged man who was never quite popular in his youth and definitely favourited the popular kids to compensate for it, had always showed favouritism towards members of the lacrosse team. He played right into Jason's manipulative hands.
"The rules in here are simple," Miss Taylor started, looking each student in the eye. "No eating, no drinking, no sleeping, no passing notes. You break a rule, I add another day of detention."
The woman moved through the room and opened the curtains. Light flooded the area, making the already bright room glow in gold as the sun began to leave its peak. "My freshman class has a bad habit of making a mess of things, so you five are going to help me clean this place up. The only time I want to hear you speak is when you're helping each other move something heavy, other than that, the rules apply. Are we clear?"
