"What is wrong with you?" Hank asked, breaking the silence. All eyes rested
upon Jamie. His rebellion against authority obviously baffled the group.
"What do you mean?" Jamie replied bitterly. "That guy, he has a stick up his butt."
Caitie smiled to herself. She found the entire situation rather hilarious.
"It figures," Val muttered to herself as she turned to face the front of the library. She picked up the glittery purple nail file and continued to grind it against her long nails.
"What figures, "Ms. I'm too perfect for everyone?" It was obvious Jamie was in a battle mode.
"Lay off." The statement was uttered with force. Tyler glared at the dark haired boy in the leather jacket. "What is your deal anyway?"
"Nothing." The strength in the simple response was apparent. Silence once again cloaked the room.
"Hey Val, are you going to the party Andrew is having tonight?" Tyler found comfort talking to the only other person in his social circle.
"Gee, I don't know. My parents are pretty upset with the whole detention thing."
"William and mom aren't too thrilled with me either actually, but I heard the party will be great. Everyone from the team will be there." He flashed Val a bright white smile.
Val returned the smile. "I'll see what I can do. Maybe I can sneak out and have Brooke cover for me."
Hank sat quietly as he read the EMT manual thoroughly. He considered trying out for the football team but he knew being an EMT squad was much more valuable to his future. He could almost taste the satisfaction of saving lives, and perhaps one day becoming a successful doctor. Hank turned the page of the manual quietly, trying to use his time in detention productively.
"I'm so damn bored. I can't stand this." Jamie threw his hands up in the air for a dramatic effect. Val simply rolled her eyes and ignored the commotion occurring at the back of the library.
Caitie leafed through yet another page of her novel. Classical music was blaring from her headphones. She tuned out the petty high school world around her. It made her queasy sitting in a room filled with typical high schoolers. She looked up from her book and glanced around the library.
There were two pretty blonde overachieving jocks at the front of the room. An obvious cry for the spotlight, always down in front. She stared at the back of Hank's head. He was another stereotyped fulfilled. Hank was in the school paper, front page actually. He was praised for being the youngest member of Kingsport high to be on the EMT squad. How disgustingly wonderful. He was an overachieving studious future doctor type. He probably knew what he wanted to do with his life since he was two years old . . .lack of originality there.
Caitie looked over to her right. There sat a rebellious male with spiky dark hair. His boredom was apparent. Although he seems all too eager to disobey any form of authority, he was almost half acceptable. At least he kept things interesting and didn't take any crap. It was unfortunate he seemed to be a rebel without a cause.
Caitie looked up at the regulation clock on the library wall. It was only nine o'clock. On a Saturday, every minute spent in detention seemed like an eternity. Letting out a great big sigh, she returned her attention to her favorite book.
A/N: Thanks MM!
I know some people are curious about why these 5 people are in detention, but like the movie, the reasons are revealed later on. Be patient please and in a future chapter, maybe even the next one, we'll see why they all ended up in the library on a Saturday!
Please Review!
