"Ren…" Ruby said, but Ren interrupted.

"I have better things to do than listen to your fake concern," before Ruby could respond, Ren turned on her heel, and left a confused Ruby standing in the hall.

Ren slipped into her seat in class, and sighed.

Ruby is such a faker. Pretending to be my friend. If she were my friend she wouldn't have kissed Bobby. Ren thought bitterly.

The teacher walked in just then, "Good morning, class. Do you know what day it is?"

Ren rolled her eyes when Larry held up his hand.

"Thursday," Larry smiled.

"Although it is Thursday, Mr. Beal, that is not what I am referring to," the teacher said.

The smile vanished from Larry's face, and this time Ren was the one to smile.

"It's pop quiz day!" the teacher announced cheerfully.

Groans filled the room, as the teacher handed one of the students a stack of test papers to hand out.

Ruby slipped into her seat, across from Ren, quietly.

She was late, again.

"You're late," the teacher said addressing Ruby.

"I'm sorry." Ruby replied.

"Don't let it happen again," the teacher said.

Ren's eyes grew wide, "That's all she gets! A warning! This is the third time in a row!" she held up three fingers, "Count them! Three!"

Ruby stared at her in shock.

The teacher's mouth dropped open.

Ren clapped a hand over her mouth.

Why did I do that! Ugh! I hope I don't get hollered at! Ren thought.

But, she didn't get hollered at.

She got a slip for detention.

"What! But, but…" she sputtered.

"Go!" the teacher instructed, pointing at the door.

Ren gulped, took her detention slip, and left.

She walked down the halls, turning corners, until she made it to Principal Wexler's office.

She had been there a million times but today the door to the office looked particularly threatening.

Ren took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

Principal Wexler's secretary was sitting at her desk, filing papers, when Ren handed her the slip.

"Oh! Hi, Ren! Is this a note for Principal Wexler?"

"No. It's a detention slip." Ren said.

"Oh. Where's the detentionie?"

"Right here." Ren sighed.

The secretary glanced at Ren and then leaned over her desk to look in front of Ren, for a very short person who was not there.

"Where?"

Ren pointed at herself.

"You don't mean? You don't expect me to believe that…you…got detention?" the secretary sputtered through giggles.

"Yes I did." Ren said.

"For what? Making a citizens arrest?" the woman laughed harder at her own joke.

"No. For disturbing the class." Ren was starting to get aggravated.

The woman looked at her for a moment, before sobering, "You're serious."

Ren nodded.

Just then, Principal Wexler walked out, "Oh! Ren, what a pleasant surprise! What are you doing here?"

"I have…detention."
