They walked into home room realised they were late.
"Nice of you girls to join us, take a seat, you have detention at lunch time hope you not late for that to"
"Sorry Ms. Darbus, it was my fault we were late I was talking to them not realising the bell had gone and they told me that it had gone"
"well then I guess you just got yourself the whole afternoon of detention with Mr Bolton as for you two girls your off the hook but don't do this again"
"Yes Ms. Darbus" the three of them said at the same time. Ms Darbus continued the morning with the announcements and other important news. The bell went and Gabriella ran to her locker so she could get to English fast enough to see him walk in.
Just as she sat down he came in without looking at her and she thought it was part of the deal they made.
"Today I want you to write a one page task on what is love?"
"Will we have to read it out loud to the class?" one of the guys in the class asked
"No I will keep them and no one else will see them, it is not graded, you will get them back at the end of the year. These should be done by the end of the lesson even if you have only written one sentence"
She thought of what she would write and then she remembered that he was the only person who would read this.
What is love?
Love is something you feel for someone. Love is the connection between two people whether it is two girls or two guys or a girl and a guy. Love is when you feel electricity with that someone special. Love is something I share with you. It is the only thing that makes me whole. You are the only thing that makes me whole.
After 20 minutes the bell rang and everyone had to hand in their papers. She waited till everyone had left the class to give him hers
"Here's my paper Mr Bolton"
"Thank you Miss Montez and I will be seeing you in detention this afternoon after school"
"Yes you will be sir"
The day went fast to the both of them and they were ready to ask the other questions why did you write that? Why haven't looked at me the whole day? What's going on?
She walked into the auditorium and saw he was there waiting for her.
"what did you do this time, Miss Montez?"
"Well I was kind of late to home room this morning and I am here now. What about you? How you get into doing this tonight?" she said walking closer, up the stairs to the stage, to him
"I have to, it's part of the job and it's my turn anyway" he took a breath and pulled out my assignment I wrote in class today "I wanted to talk about this assignment you did in class today, it was really good and it was a great definition of the word love, but the other stuff you wrote you shouldn't have. Someone could have seen this and reported this. You do know how much trouble we could get in? How much trouble I could get in?" he yelled at her
She was quiet. She didn't think of the consequences. She didn't think they could get in trouble if someone saw. She didn't think he could get in trouble or that anyone would see.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think that anyone would find it and you said yourself you're the only person who would look at it, I didn't think, I'm sorry"
He looked her in the eyes and saw she was truly sorry and that she really wasn't thinking
"Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you, but you have to be careful" she nodded "come here" he said with his arms out and opened. She walked towards him and they hugged. He kissed the top of her head.
"ok so what should I get you for to do in detention today?" he asked with a smirk on his face
