Danny slowly walked into detention. He wasn't really scared or anything. I mean, he's had tons of detentions before this one- Danny is one of Mr. Lancer's least favorite students. Mr. Lancer has always just disliked Danny from day one. It's not like Danny could ever do anything about it. Danny isn't the type of student who's naturally likeable, and he's not the kind of person who kisses ass to whomever doesn't like him. In reality, he's not fake. But we're not in reality, we're in high school; and in high school, Danny's a loser.
I'm getting off topic though. I tend to do that a lot. Anywho, as I started out saying, Danny wasn't really phased when Mr. Lancer gave him a detention. Sure, the first few times he was nervous, and kind of angry; but after the billionth detention he got, he began growing more apathetic towards them. Now he's to the point where he doesn't even care what his parents will say when he get's home. It's not like it will matter if he get's grounded, he has no life to live outside of school.
Okay, maybe I'm making Danny out to be a bit more of a schizoid than he really is. Sure, he doesn't care about the detention, but it doesn't mean he doesn't care about anything. He's just... looking for something worth caring about. But i really should be moving on from this 'Apathetic Danny' topic, I wouldn't want to bore you.
So, Danny walked into detention, that much we've covered. When he walked into the room, it was like a morose feeling came over him. The room was nearly empty when it came to people. Mr. Lancer was the teacher who was supposed to be 'supervising' them. The only other people in detention were Tucker Foley, Kwan Lee, and Samantha Manson. This was going to be a fun hour.
Fifteen minutes of pure boredom have passed. Danny's used to the feeling, but it's obvious that Samantha and Kwan aren't, them being A-listers and all.
"Mr. LLLLaaaannnnncccccceeerrrrr!" Kwan said, an obvious whine in his voice. "Can I pppppllllleeeeaaaasssseeeeee leave early?"
"No." Mr. L replied simply.
"B-but... Why not?!" He asked, making Danny and Tucker roll their eyes.
"Because I said so." The authority figure used a cliched authority figure line.
"I have to peeeeeee though!" The latter had said, clutching his groin for emphasis.
"If you really have to pee... I suppose I can walk you to the bathroom, to make sure you don't try anything." Mr Lancer got up, then paused for a second, "Samantha, I trust that you will look after these two nincompoops while I am gone?"
"Of course, Mr. Lancer." She told him, her always fake smile seeping through.
With that said, Mr. Lancer and Kwan walked out of the room. You could literally feel the awkwardness in the room. It was quiet and tense. So eventually, Tucker spoke up, "So... How's it going Danny?"
Now, it makes sense that he would adress Danny over Samantha; Danny is less scary, and more approachable. But, like Danny, Samantha sensed Tucker's obvious fear of her. She decided to use this to her advantage. "Why did you talk to Danny and not me? Foley."
"Umm... I don't know... Samantha. I.. just... know him better?" Tucker spoke fearfully.
"Hm.. I never thought Fenton ever had any friends. But if he did then it would make sense that it's you, I mean... you're both losers." She sneered.
After that spewed out of her mouth, Danny angrily stood up. "You know what.. I don't have to take this!"
Now, this actually caught Samantha off guard, being as losers never really fought back with her. She quickly recovered though and said, "Where are you going!?"
"Oh, no where," Danny replied, "I'm just leaving. Are you coming or not Tucker?" Danny's never really had the nerve to invite anybody anywhere, but it seemed as if right now all that he cared about was getting out of there. It didn't matter if he got rejected by a fellow loser, though normally this thought would frighten him.
"I'm coming!" Tucker stood up, empowered by Danny's newfound rebelliousness.
"You guys can't leave! Lancer will kill you!" Samantha had pointed out the obvious.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot princesses can't do any wrong." Danny had never been this way before. Honestly, he doesn't know what's taken over him. Maybe he's just tired of being pushed around, and it's not like it's hard to stand up to a girl.
"No, Fenton. I'm sorry," Samantha replied, this was starting out sweetly, but you could tell it was about to take a turn for the worst, "I forgot that losers like you knew how to live every once in a while. I'm coming with you." Anybody with a brain could tell that she was conspiring.
It's not like he could tell her no either. She would just end up following them or snitching them out to Lancer, so Danny figured it would just be best to let her follow.
With all of that over, they walked out of detention. They ran through the hallways like they were afraid of getting caught. Then they all walked out of the school as if nothing had happened.
Danny's apathy will end up being the death of him.
This is cheeeyyyyyyappptttterrrr 4 (:

One more thing! I'm immensly sorry about how long this chapter took! My laptop chord broke. So I went a few weeks without a laptop. But right now I'm using a ratchet old laptop. So it took me a little while to write it up on this dinosaur. Don't worry though, I'm getting a new laptop for Christmas! Then I can write and be inspired to write by the awesomeness of it! (: lol
