Principal Wexler stared at her for a moment before bursting into a fit of laughter, "You? Ren Stevens, have detention? Oh, I can hardly even say it!" he swiped at the laughter enduced tear that was spilling over the corner of his right eye.

Ren felt very small as she said the next two words, "I'm serious."

Principal Wexler's world seemed to come crashing down, as his laughter subsided.

"You are? But, how?" he asked.

"I disturbed the class, Principal Wexler." Ren stared at her polished boots.

"Well, then, go on in." Principal Wexler refused to look at her, as her held the door to the detention room open for her.

Ren shuffled past him and looked over her shoulder as the door creaked shut behind her.

What a day.

She took a seat and looked around, trying to find a friendly face.

And the amazing thing was, she actually found one.

Chloe smiled at her and walked over to the seat beside her.

"Hi, Ren. I haven't seen you since the night that we put your display together. What's been going on?" Chloe slapped her on the back.

Ren smiled at her, "Not much. Just my best friend stabbed me in the back!"

Chloe raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Wow. What happened?"

Ren glanced at the sleeping teacher before telling her the story.

She went into great detail about the situation, and even went so far as to ask Chloe's opinion on the matter.

"Well, I think that you should get the whole story from Ruby. But, I have to admit, it does sound like an open and shut case." Chloe pulled out a bottle of pink nail polish and began giving herself a manicure.

Ren nodded, "But I would have to talk to her to ask her about it And I would have to tell her that I read her diary."

"Well, if she's a true friend you'll both forgive each other and forget that it happened. And if it doesn't work out, just remember that I'm your friend." Chloe glanced up from the finger she was painting to give Ren a smile.

"Thanks, Chloe."

"No problem." Chloe replied, "Want a manicure."

Ren nodded, "That would be fun."

Maybe Chloe really could be a friend, and she gave good advice.

Advice that Ren planned to follow, if she could just get out of detention!
