Sorry haven't updated in a while had a bad case of wb (writers block). Anyways, Homecoming is coming up! Who else is excited? Just me? Oh... Well review anyways! I love you! XOXO
Mrs. Matthews glares at us. We sit here in silence for a few minutes. It comes to the point where I raise my eyebrows we've been waiting so long. She sees it as sass.
"Did you have something to say Mrs. Prior?" She asks.
I lower my eyebrows in defeat. "No."
She nods. We don't say anything for a while again. I start to get impatient and I see that I'm not the only one.
"So what're you gonna do to us?" Tobias asks. We decided to not even fight with her, saying we didn't do. We figured she wouldn't believe us.
She furrows her eyebrows.
"What?" Clearly Tobias isn't the least bit intimidated by Mrs. Matthews.
She shakes her head. "I'm just trying to figure out what would possess you two to do such a thing."
"We didn't!" I say. Maybe we can get out of this.
She scoffs. "Yeah. I know."
"Then why are we here?" I ask.
"Because, I don't want you two doing something you'll regret." She says and I cringe. I can tell where this is going.
"We didn't- won't-" I stutter.
"I would believe you but that video seems to prove otherwise." She interrupts. She talks for a while about not doing it too early and waiting until marriage and that crap and all I want to do is leave.
"Okay. Okay. How about... We just... Just go to detention?" I say.
She suddenly smirks. "What took you so long?"
XXXXXXXXXXX
Mrs. Matthews gives us late slip and instructions to go to detention after school. We separate in the hallway and go to our different classes. Mine is biology.
I walk in and everyone turns around. They are stare and I feel myself blush. I look down and hand the slip to Mr. Slate. Some kids start laughing and others just smirk. I sit down and try to ignore the questioning stares. I keep my head in my book.
This continues through all of my classes until lunch where I can at least pretend these people don't exist.
"Hey guys." I say to Marlene, Lynn, and Uriah, sitting down. "Where's everyone else?"
"Over there." Uriah says gesturing towards a small crowd that I didn't notice before.
"What's everyone doing over there?" I ask.
They shrug and I go over to the crowd. I have to shove my way through but eventually I get to the front. Then I see what everyone is fussing over.
In front of me I see Tobias and Caleb, fighting. I gasp. Caleb must've seen the video.
I run up to him and pull him away from the fight. He tries to get away but I'm stonger than him. I pull him away from the crowd and into the hall.
"Caleb what the hell?!" I say, startled because just this morning we had a brother/sister 'moment'.
"Did you not see the video?! How could you let someone videotape you doing that?!" he says.
"We didn't know he was videotaping us!" I defend.
"They were secretly videotaping you?! Who?!"
"No, Tobias told-" I stop. "You know what? I don't have to justify myself to you." I say walking back into the cafeteria.
Everyone stares. Again.
I immediatly search for Tobias. I finally find him sitting with the rest our friends. He has a black eye but otherwise he looks unmarked. Caleb on the other hand, looks like he got the beating of a lifetime. Which, he kind of did.
"Oh. My, god. I am so sorry, what happened?" I say to Tobias sitting down.
"Well not much. He came up to me, started yelling at me, and then attacked me. He saw the video."
I sigh. "I know... I'm so sorry. He is so annoying I can't believe he did that!"
"I know. It okay I'm fine." Tobias says putting his arm around my shoulders.
I put my head on his shoulder. "I wouldn't blame you if wanted to break up." I say in a small voice, fighting tears.
He pulls back and looks at me for a long time until I finally make eye contact.
"I would never do that over something as stupid as Caleb's overprotectiveness."
I give a small smile. "Thanks..."
"So what about detention? What are we gonna do?" He say, thankfully changing the subject.
I give mischievous smile and pull out my phone. "We always have emoticons."
We grin at each other and start to actually eat our food.
We finish lunch and go to our different classes. I barely stay awake for the next few hours before school finally ends. Well, not for me. I make my way to the detention room and sit in the way back with Tobias who was already there. I notice that no one else is here.
As I sit I look to him and raise my eyebrows asking the silent question. He shrugs. I guess no one did anything bad today.
Then the door opens and Mrs. Matthews walks in. That's weird, usually one of the other teachers chaperones detention. Sometimes they don't even have a chaperone. They want us to do anything tough. I silently scoff. How could they think we're going to do that?
"Alright. Well the teacher that was suppose to chaperone you couldn't make it and I have a meeting to attend, so I asked another student to watch you. He agreed lucky for you so don't terrorize him. I know your type seems to think that's funny." She mutters the last part Unser breath.
I immediately start to wonder who Mrs. Matthews would trust to keep us in line... And why she thinks he'll succeed.
She leaves the room and then he walks in.
Caleb.
I look down trying to avoid eye contact. This was obviously to throw me off. Mrs. Matthews knows i wouldn't do anything with my brother in the room. Caleb starts talking about how he's an 'authoritative figure' and can punish us. But I know he can't do any if that. The only thing he can really do is tell on us.
When he finishes talking he sits and just watches us. I wait a few minutes to see if he reads or looks away -which he never does- before taking out my phone. I nudge Tobias who is having a staring contest with the chalkboard next to Caleb. He sees what I'm doing and takes out his own phone.
"Hey you can't do that!" Caleb says notice what were doing.
I put my feet on the desk and lean back, ignoring Caleb.
"Beatrice that's against the rules." Caleb says walking over to me.
I acknowledge him at the sound of my birth name. "I don't see a sign." I say challenging him. I can see Tobias trying not to snicker and hold back a smirk myself.
"It's in the handbook now give me your phone." Caleb says holding his hand out.
I sit up and put my feet on the floor again. "No." I say with venom.
"Yes Beatrice give it to me." When I don't move he goes to snatch my phone but I catch his hand and pull his fingers back, not enough to break them but enough to make them hurt like hell.
He screeches so I let him go and go to my last position of my feet on my desk. I know Caleb isn't going to go after me after that so Tobias and I start to text.
TE- Whoa he ran 4 his lif! didn't kno u had such a grip.
TP- He was being annoying. Sum1 was gonna do it sooner or later
TE- Yeah ur lucky. If I was allowed 2 do that I would've.
TP- U did at lunch... O.o
TE- eh it wasn't as satisfying as u might think
TP- Y not?
TE- Idk. He's a lot like u. I felt bad punching ur brother.
TP- Were nothing alike!
TE- u r in som ways. I felt bad anyways though.
TP- Don't worry I would've done the same thing
I take his hand as I send the text. We continue texting until detention is finally over and Caleb starts another lecture about violence and cell phones but we leave before he's finished his second sentence.
Tobias drives me home and I do my afternoon stuff. I get lectured by my dad for getting detention and then I do my homework until dinner. I eat and then go to sleep thinking about Homecoming. I can't believe it's in four days! Christina's going to want to go shopping. I silently groan at the thought of the mall. I like the mall, I just hate shopping.
I finally fall asleep thinking if the perfect dress for me.
