Spencer and Toby: High School
This is a fiction about Spencer and Toby in high school dealing with high school problems like drugs, sex, friends, and more. Hopefully you will enjoy this fiction and review. Here is the first chapter of my story.
Chapter 1: Detention
«Spencer,» Mr. Maddock says, «please pay attention. There are no cell phones or devices in class. Please hand your phone to me, and I will see you in detention after school today. Now, let us move on from this rude interruption!»
Spencer sighs and hands her phone to Mr. Maddock. He places it on his desk. She is worried because she has never been in detention before. She just wants to text her boyfriend Andrew about their date, and he has study hall this period, so it's her chance. Their date is today, so she is super upset, because she can't go, since she has to be in detention. When the bell rings, she gets up, but Mr. Maddock stops her.
«Don't forget, you have detention right now, Miss Hastings,» Mr. Maddock reminds her with a smirk. «Detention is in room 36 with Mrs. Montgomery. Here is your cell phone. This is a reminder to stop being bad during class. I expect better from you, Miss Hastings. You are supposed to be a good student. Noel Kahn? No, I don't expect good from him, but you... you are a good student. Hopefully this will shake you up a bit, and remind you where your priorities should be.»
She nods her head and takes her phone. She walks out and into the hallway. It is the end of the day, and she wants to be going on her date with Andrew, but she's instead heading to detention, where all the bad troublemaker kids will be. She doesn't think she belongs there. She's not a bad student. She just wanted to text her boyfriend earlier in class. She always got good grades and studied, though!
«Hey, my sweetheart,» Andrew says as he runs up to her and kisses her cheek. «You stopped texting me back in class, but it doesn't matter, because it's time for our date. I have been waiting to take you here. I get a discount, because my dad owns the place. You will love it, baby. Let's get going.»
«Andrew,» she says with a sigh, «I can't go on out date. Mr. Maddock caught me texting you in class, and he took my phone away. Face it, I got busted. And now I have been rounded up in detention, so I can't go with you today. I'm sorry, Andrew. I wish I could go, but I have to be in room 36 for detention.»
«Spencer, you spared my feelings again,» he says angrily. «Why couldn't you have hidden your phone better? Now we both have to miss our date! Good going. You always have to be a bad girl. Can't you ever just be considerate of me? We've been going out for almost a fucking year.»
«I didn't mean to...» Spencer says, sighing.
«Of course you don't,» Andrew says, crossing his arms. «You never mean to. It always happens anyways, and I'm sick of your surprises.»
«Look, I don't want to be blamed for this, » she says, annoyed. «I can't believe you're blaming me. If you hadn't texted me, I wouldn't have been in trouble! You know what? Goodbye. I have to get to detention, because of you. I'll see you around, Andrew.»
He suddenly feels bad for blaming her so harshly. He takes her hand and squeezes it. He wants to make things right, because he thinks he loves her.
«I am sorry, Spencer,» he says. «Please don't do this. Are we breaking up, baby?»
«No... I just need some time away from you,» she says, and walks away from Andrew Campbell.
When Spencer arrives in detention, there's all bad and popular kids everywhere. She wishes that one of her best friends Hanna has detention, but she knows she doesn't. Hanna always gets detention, but the one day that Spencer wants her to be there, she's not. The brunette sighs and takes a seat that is far from everyone else. Mrs. Montgomery comes inside the classroom.
«Hello there,» she says. «I will assume that everyone is here. Spencer, is that you? Wow. Um, I don't want anyone alone in the back. Why don't you come up to the front? You can sit in this free seat next to Mister Cavanaugh!»
She feels worried. Mister Cavanaugh is Toby Cavanaugh, who is a rebellious, popular, bad boy. She feels a lump in her throat as she gathers her things and sits next to Toby. Mrs. Montgomery smiles and sits down at her desk. She puts her glasses on and starts grading English exams.
«Okay, I see a lot of familiar faces, but a couple new ones as well,» Mrs. Montgomery says. «So I will say the rules of detention for everyone. No talking or socializing with those around you, and no usage of devices. Please do a quiet activity, and when it is four o' clock, you are all free to go. Any question? No? Good. You may begin.»
About fifteen minutes into the detention period, Mrs. Montgomery's phone rings. She takes it from her desk. Spencer watches as Aria's mom answers the phone. The whole class is listening to them talk, actually, since otherwise, it is a dead silence.
«Aria, honey, calm down, I am going to call your father and be on my way,» Mrs. Montgomery says frantically. «Oh my, I will be there in a second, sweetheart. Please calm down! I am coming for you two. I love you. Keep safe, please.» She hangs up the phone and looks at the detention kids.
«I hate to leave you all unsupervised, but I am having a family problem right now,» Mrs. Montgomery explains. «My son Mike is injured, and I need to be there for him. Please, I need to rush home. I trust that you guys will be quiet while I'm gone, okay? I know you'll be in charge, Spencer.»
She wants the power, but she feels afraid to take charge of these juvenile delinquent like students. She sits nervously at her desk as Mrs. Montgomery smiles and leaves the classroom.
«Hey,» Toby says, turning to her with a grin. «Guys, she isn't gonna turn us in to Mrs. M. Are you, babe?»
She shakes her head.
«See guys, she's a cool girl,» he says with a grin.
Since she is going to be letting the delinquents socialize and use their devices, she thinks she might as well, too! She takes her cell phone out of her backpack and texts Aria. She wants to know what is going on with Mike, since Aria is another one of her best friends.
'Aria, is Mike OK? Ur mom just fled the classroom for him!' -Spencer
In half a minute, she receives a response.
'Mike got hit by a car! Spencer r u in detention'? -Aria
'Yeah... Got busted for texting Andrew in class' -Spencer
'Ahh aw that sucks! You shouldn't text me though... My mom is coming towards me lol, and she will know that you are breaking the rules' -Aria
'Oh OK I will talk to u later! Good luck to Mike' -Spencer
'For sure! Bye' -Aria
And when she turns around, Toby Cavanaugh is grinning at her.
«What?» she says weakly.
«You should go out on a date with me,» he says.
