Just Can't Win part1

It was another one of those lazy school days. The kind where it's the last period and seconds seem like minutes while minutes seem like hours. That was how it was for Matt. He was in the middle of his last class, biology, and just couldn't get himself to pay attention to facts about the cerebellum and brain stem. Personally he felt his brain would fry if he tried to listen anymore so instead he tried to content himself with writing lyrics for a new tune he had just made up. For some reason he couldn't find the words to make it perfect. Someday he wanted to take his band to the top of the charts and tour the world singing and making music. He gave up writing and shifted his attention to the clock on the wall. He still had five minutes to go. He glanced at his teacher Mr. Ochihuma (his lips were moving but no sound was coming out)

' I wonder how Gabumon is doing' he thought to himself. He hadn't seen his furry little companion in a while now that Ken, the Digimon Emperor, had been defeated.

"Please Mr. Ishida won't you be so kind as to read some of your notes for us"

Matt could feel his face turn the color of a tomato as Mr. Ochihuma walked over to take his paper with the lyrics.

"Mr. Ishida I never realized that the brain had anything to do with betrayal, love and getting all the quote chicks unquote."

If Matt's face had looked like a tomato earlier by now it was taking on the dark purple tinges of an eggplant. Mr. Ochihuma's tan and pruny face was crinkling into an evilly gleeful grin. Matt wondered nonchalantly how old a person had to be to have a face like a raisin.

"Well Mr. Ishida it looks like your study habits have landed you in detention again for the third time this week."

It looked like Brad, Trent and Ross, his band members were gonna have another reason to bag on him they totally hated it when he was late. Matt could see his friend Tai smirking at him out of the corner of his eye. Sometimes he wished he could wipe that constant smile off Tai's face, maybe if he told Sora Tai liked her and had secretly had a crush on her since the day they met. Nah... it would probably be easier if he simply cut off some of that overgrown hair.

A hand near the front of the room shot up.

"Yes Ms. Motymya?"

' OH NO!!!!!!!!!!' thought Matt 'What is she gonna do now?'

"Mr. Ochihuma if Matt's getting detention I want detention too!"

A storm of giggles came from the girls and snickers from the guys.

"Now why would a nice girl like you want detention with him?"

June smiled with an innocence that made Matt want to barf.

"Because I love him and he loves me and that means that we'll suffer together and make the burden easier."

At that moment Matt want nothing more than a means by which to kill himself. Their was a big crash and Matt glanced over to see that Tai had upended his desk and was now on the ground laughing uncontrollably. Matt turned his head and saw June out of the corner of his eye. She was gazing at him with the adoration of a puppy, he wouldn't be able to handle a whole hour with those eyes on him.

"Mr. Ochihuma please I know I don't deserve such noble intentions I think I'll make at least one of us happy and simply take my punishment alone.

He looked pleadingly into that wrinkled face hoping for kindness of some sort and for once he found it.

"All right both of you can simply go home but Mr. Ashida from now on I think you definitely owe me."

At that moment the bell rang and Matt rushed out of the room trying to put as much distance between himself and June. As he ran Matt could here the sound of Tai's laughter chasing him down the hall.
