I look over at the digital clock. It read 12:17 p.m. It was way past curfew but I couldn't sleep. Flashes of Fabina come into my mind. I know I shouldn't be so preoccupied with them, it's not like me and Fabian were anything more than friends…But I just can't let him go.

Speaking of the devil. I hear Fabian and Nina sneaking out; their laughter echoes softly through the room. I smile sadly to myself. Me and Fabian did the same thing, only a year ago…

"Come on Fabes! It's not that big of a deal." I frantically wave him over to where I was crouched, peeking down the next hallway. Victor's office was on the other side. We have to make sure he doesn't hear us. Detention, or worse, could be the punishment. But that task could be easily ruined if Fabian keeps on acting like a baby. "Joy…I don't want to get in trouble..." I playfully roll my eyes. That's just like him. He would never do anything to mar his perfect record.

"Fabes, live a little! Are you scared?" Finally he tip toes to me and leans against the wall. He matches my position and looks at me with his dark brown eyes. He has one of his sweet smiles only he can pull. "Ok what's next?" he asks. I chuckle lightly. One thing Fabian would never say no to is a dare. I want to keep looking into his friendly eyes all night but all of a sudden Victor's door opens. We stop breathing. The air suddenly got colder as Victor thunks out of his office. I squeeze closer to Fabian and he holds me. I put my head into his neck and close my eyes hoping Victor doesn't see us.

I hear his footsteps pass us and get fainter and fainter. But I keep myself close to Fabian, eyes still tightly shut. "Is he gone?" I whisper. Fabian laughs quietly. "Yes Joy he is." He began to move away.
NO! Not now. I want to continue embracing him, to feel his warmth on me. But my wish was not granted. He stood up and helped me to my feet. "Ready?" He asks.

His face was back to its kind smile which made my heart melt. "Let's go!" He grabbed my hand and we carefully descended down the stairs.

I laughed at the memory. That same day (technically) we got caught and had detention for a week. Fabian got so angry…but that never lasted long. We eventually made up.

During that week the detention room became my favourite room...
