Chapter One: Here Goes Nothing…..
I entered the library silently, hoping that no one would notice me. Jack had left me a lovely present of applesauce spit up on my new blouse, but I didn't have any time to change. Please, I thought, Let me be the only person in detention today, I couldn't even be in the same room with Hazel today, and she's practically a mute. Unfortunatly, today was not my day. I walked in and there sat the most random group of people. There were only seven seats, each in pairs with one in the very end. Paige and Jimmy sat in the first two, probably talking about some party that none of the rest of us were invited to. Craig and Alex sat behind those two, Craig asleep and Alex looking like she could put me on fire with one short breath, behind them were the two people I dreaded most. Ellie and Jay. Ellie because she had been with my first love, Sean, who I'd never gotten over, especially since the shooting, and Jay, who well, you know. Seeing me, he snarled and said, "Fancy meeting you here Greenpeace, did you finally get below an A plus plus?" I walked past him and sat at the very last desk, well aware that everyone was staring at me, probably killing themselves with internal laughter over what I could have done to get in here.
Mr. Raditch entered, rocking the whole cheap brown polyester suit thing. "Welcome to Saturday detention, the next ten hours you will spend reflecting on whatever you did to get in here. I will be right across the hall, and if I even hear one squeak out of any of you, all of you will get detention for the next three weeks." "Oh no, sir, not that," Jay muttered under his breath. "What was that Mr. Hogart?" "Nothing, sir, just reflecting on your utter lack of unoriginality and wonderful sense of style, that's all." Mr. Raditch looked pissed, than said calmly, "Well Mr. Hogart, since you love reflecting on me so much, you can do it for the next two Saturdays." He walked out and slammed the door sharply behind him.
"Bitch," Jay muttered. "Really, Jay, if that's the way you feel about it, why don't you let him go down on you? Everyone else has!" Alex yelled. "God, Alex, why don't you just –
"Okay, you two calm down, I sure as hell have a lot of better things to do next Saturday, and in case you couldn't tell. I'm not exactly a morning person." Paige declared with a flick of her wrist, showing off her French manicure. "Yeah, you know, like dating teachers," Craig cracked up. "Fuck off," Paige pouted. "You have no idea what happened. I really liked him."
"Well, I liked him too," Alex smiled for the first time in what must have been years, "I liked the gift he gave you as a dumping present," She and Paige shared a laugh while everyone else just looked confused, the class princess and bitch, BFFs?
"Okay, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but sitting around here yelling at each other isn't my idea of fun. So why don't we go around and say what we really did to get in here?" Jimmy said, and everyone looked around, a little intrigued. "Good idea," Ellie spoke for the first time, "Emma can go first," she stared at me.
So, this is my first story over, so please read and review!
