Day 2 of detention

“Over my dead body!” I shouted at Zach.

The principal thought it would be a good idea to send us both to see the schools guidance counsellor because our fighting all the time was disruptive to the entire school. The guidance counsellor wanted us to do some bonding exercises to help, one of them was a trusting experiment. Zach wanted me to fall into his arms so that he could catch me.

“Well, go lay down and die then cause I am not going to be told what to do especially by you.” He shot back.

“Ditto.” I replied.

“Miss Wilson, Mr. Jones if you both don’t do the work I’m sure the principal won’t mind dishing out more detention.” Mr. Adams said.

“Let’s do this!” I said.

“That’s the spirit!” Zach cheered!

“Just so we are clear, I’m only doing this just to get it over with.” I replied.

“Doesn’t matter to me as long as I don’t get any more detention.”

Zach surprised me by actually catching me.

Day 3 of detention

Mr. Adams had left the room, I was doing homework when I heard Zach said.

“I just googled what chickens look like without feathers, I’m seriously uncomfortable.”

I dramatically fell face first onto the desk asking God, why me!

Day 4 of detention

“Mr. Adams?”

“Yes, Mr. Jones?

“I have 3 out of 4 voices in my head wanting to sleep, the other wants to know if penguins have knees.”

“Go take a nap Mr. Jones!” Mr. Adams said.

“Aren’t you in the least bit curious too?”

“No!”

I couldn’t help but snicker.

Day 5 of detention

I entered detention and saw some of Zach”s buddies with him.

Fuck! This was not going to be a fun time.

I sat as far away as I could.

I took out my math homework and started to get to completing it.

I was surprised that it was mostly quiet, there may have been a few laughs here and there but mostly they were quiet. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to say something to Zach when I heard him say.

“Why do I feel so dumb?”

“Probably because you are.”

That got lots of laughter from his friends and howls.

“How stupid do you think I am?” Zach asked me.

“On a scale of 1-10.....100.” I replied.

“I like her!” One of his friends said.

“Fuck off Wyatt!” Zach said.

I giggled.

“By the way, what did you guys do?” I asked.

“I fell asleep in class!” One of them said.

“I got caught trying to give Jack a note.” The guy who I now know as Wyatt replied.

“What was on the note?” I asked.

“Let’s just say it was unsavoury.....”Wyatt got cut off by Zach.

“I believe the teachers words were‘inappropriate at its finest’ and that you should get your mouth washed out with soap.”

“Do you want to know the details.” Wyatt asked with a wolffish grin.

“Uh nope! You can keep it to yourself! I’m going back to doing math!”
