"3 o'clock 21 minutes and 4 seconds, 3 o'clock 21 minutes and 5 seconds..." J.t said.

"Some one has to notice we're missing." Ellie said.

"Uh yeah but detention gets out at 3:30 so even if they're curious where we are we'd have to wait another hour or so." J.t said.

"Great..." Ellie sighed.

"Ok so what did you do to get in trouble?" J.t asked.

"Well..." Ellie started.

Flash back

Ellie and Ashley are sitting next to each other having a discussion when Ms. Quan comes in.

"Morning Class." Ms. Quan says.

"Morning Ms. Quan." A few unenthusiastic voices called.

"As you know today's the day for the oral reports. So I'll call you all randomly." Ms. Quan smiled.

"Ash we're we suppose to do that?" Ellie asked Ashley quietly.

"Uhem yeah El, we were." Ashley said.

"I didn't do it..." Ellie whispered to Ashley.

Paige over hearing the conversation. "Gee Ellie your report sounds interesting." Paige said in loud powering voice.

Ashley and Ellie turned to Paige. "Not as interesting as yours Paige." Ellie said back.

Ms. Quan gave a glare to Ellie and then to Paige. "Excuse me girls. I'm trying to teach." Ms. Quan said.

"Oh Ms. Quan might I say you look fabulous today." Paige smiled.

"Mmhm..." Ms. Quan mumbled. "Well who wants to go first?" Ms. Quan asked.

Mr. Armstrong opened the door, "Ms. Quan can you come here for a moment please?" Mr. Armstrong asked.

"Yes Mr. Armstrong." Ms. Quan said she got up from her seat and put her clipboard down and walked out into the hallway.

"I can't believe you didn't do it." Ashley said.

"She like never talked about it..." Ellie said.

"She talked about it all month." Ashley said.

"What's yours on?" Ellie asked.

"Harp Seals and how we keep killing them off." Ashley said folding her paper in half.

"Ellie why don't you do one on.... the Muppets." Paige said she laughed and Hazel did too.

"That wasn't even funny." Ellie said she just glared at Paige.

"Don't glare at me!" Paige yelled.

"You're right I won't I don't want to hurt my eyes." Ellie said under her breath.

"What did you just say?!" Paige screamed.

"Paige shut up." Ashley said.

"No you teenage goth hag." Paige said disgusted with Ashley.

"Goth Hag?" Ashley asked.

"YES!!" Paige yelled.

"Some one's pmsing." Ellie said there were snickers in the back and a few laughs from Ashley, and then it was silent.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Paige shouted as she asked.

"What is going in here?!" Ms. Quan asked as she came running into the doorway.

Paige sat down.

"Nice one Paige." Ashley whispered.

"Ok reports now. Ms. Nash will you please present us with your report?" Ms. Quan asked.

"No..." Ellie said.

"Excuse me?" Ms. Quan said.

"I didn't do it...simple as that." Ellie said, almost as she was proud.

"It's not far Ms. Quan that some of us like me and Hazel have to work so hard on these reports and then people like Ellie Nash don't." Paige said.

"Paige your comments were not asked for. Ms. Nash can I see you in the hallway please." Ms. Quan asked.

"I guess..." Ellie got up and followed Ms. Quan asked.

"Now I don't know what's going on in your head but you better get your grades up by the end of this term do you here me?" Ms. Quan asked.

"Um I sort of have to hear you you're shouting at me..." Ellie whispered.

"After school detention got it?" Ms. Quan said. "Back to class." Ms. Quan pointed. Ellie went in and sat down.

"Gee Ellie have fun?" Paige asked.

"Oh it was a blast why don't you join us next time?" Ellie asked.

"Girls..." Ms. Quan said.

End of flash back

"There that's what happened." Ellie said.

"I thought you were going to get into a fight." J.t said disappointed.

"Sorry to disappoint you." Ellie said.

"Yeah well it's my turn." J.t said.

Flash back

"Alright so get started and I'll be back with more answers." Mr. Simpson said as he got up and walked out of his room into the office.

J.t threw a paper airplane. It hit Liberty.

"J.t..." Liberty whined.

J.t took the tape dispenser off Mr. Simpson's desk.

"Oh Emma oh oh Emma." He joked.

"J.t shut up." Toby said.

"Manny don't you want to be taped?" J.t asked.

"No I want to finish this." Manny said.

J.t got an evil smile.

He took a lot of tape and smiled brightly, the class got really quiet everyone was watching to see what he would do. Everyone but Liberty. He took the tape and wrapped it around her hair. Liberty turned, and J.t away from her, and the class started laughing everyone but Liberty, Emma and Manny.

"J.T!!!" Liberty yelled!

"You put tape in my hair!!" Liberty yelled really loud, and Mr. Simpson came in.

"What's going on?" Mr. Simpson said.

J.t hid the tape dispenser behind him. And gave a sly smile.

"J.t put tape all in Liberty's hair." Emma said.

"J.t after school." Mr. Simpson said.

"Liberty do you want to go into the bathroom?" Mr. Simpson asked.

"Yes." Liberty said.

"Take Manny with you." Mr. Simpson said.

Manny and Liberty went into the bathroom.

End of flash back

"You put tape in her hair?" Ellie asked shocked.

"Yeah so she got it all out." J.t said.

"That's horrible." Ellie said.

"Don't worry I promise I won't put tape in your hair, unless you get fat and start talking like you know everything and wear ugly glasses that don't fit your face." J.t said he smiled.

"Hmm ...you know what, that wasn't very funny." Ellie said she sort of looked disappointed.

"Sorry but it's true." J.t said.

"What time is it?" Ellie asked.

"It's 3 o'clock, 24 minutes and 19 seconds." J.t answered.
