Chapter4: Detention
Author's note: Most of the stuff in this chapter actually happened to me or my friends so I used it for the story.
Katie was sitting in a desk across from a jock named Clark, who was sleeping. Katie was starring off into space she had about 4 more hours to go stuck in here. Her head popped up at the sound of boots dragging across the floor. Jack who was 20 minutes late.
"Mr. Mercer here decided to come in late." Mr. Jones stated. Jack rolled his eyes as he walked towards an empty chair but he raised his eyebrows when he saw Katie who scoffed in a disgusted way.
"Right now I want you to clean the ceiling of dust, and clean the tables. Then in awhile I'll come in here to check on all of you and then, you'll start on the assignment." He set the cleaning stuff on the desk and walked out. Clark stood up and grabbed a towel and the bucket of water. Katie sighed and stood up and grabbed the duster. Jack didn't even move he was drumming his fingers on the desk.
Katie stood up on the table to reach the ceiling. A few minutes of dusting here She heard Clark clear his throat. She gave him a weird look and quickly turned which caused a loud thud. Katie turned to her right and saw Jack sitting on the floor with the chair on the floor.
"What are you doing on the floor?"
"There was a nice view." Katie soon understood what he was saying. She jumped off the table and started hitting him on the head with the duster. He was looking up her skirt.
"Perv!" She called while still hitting him.
"What is going on in here?" Mr. Jones asked storming in.
Jack grabbed the towel and replied. "Just cleaning."
"Your finished, start the essay on why you're here and what you did wrong. I want to see it on my desk by the end of the day, from all of you." He said directing the last bit to Jack.
OoOoOoOoOo
"The reason I am here, is because the hottest girl in the school declined to read my wonderful note." Jack read out loud.
"WHAT?" Katie asked turning to him.
"Would you two shut-up? You're going to get us in trouble!" Clark said.
"I am not the reason your in here." Katie said through gritted teeth.
"Okay so why am I in here?" Jack asked leaning towards her.
"Because! Cause your-you!" Katie exclaimed.
"Nice reason." Jack stated.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Few minutes later..
"Want to go see a movie with me sometime?" Jack asked Katie.
"No."
"How about dinner?"
"How about no." Katie replied without looking up from her paper.
"Want to take a drive somewhere?"
"No." Clark shook his head and laughed. Jack glared at him and turned back to Katie.
"Okay, I got it. How about a concert?"
"No."
"What about ice skating?"
"No."
"How about going to play hockey?"
"No." Katie replied starting to get annoyed.
"Football?"
"No. And again no for the next question."
"Fine, what about dancing?" Katie scoffed and laughed.
"When pigs fly Jack, when pigs fly." Katie stated.
"Clark! You fly?" Clark glared. Jack sighed and threw his pencil across the desk. Jack stood up and walked around the desk and sat down next to Katie.
"The cause of my detention is from a paper ball fight that was started by Jack Mercer." Jack scoffed and looked down at Katie.
"Sounds very professional."
"Shut-up, let me guess, you haven't even started, have you?"
Jack stood up without saying anything and walked up the steps and climbed on the table and started messing with the window.
"What are you doing?" Katie asked coming up the steps.
"Leaving, what does it look like?" Jack asked sticking his head back inside the window.
"You can't do this!" Katie stated.
"You can't cause you don't have the guts, your scared. Unlike me I don't give a shit what happens as long as I'm away from this hellhole." Jack stated. Katie's jaw dropped and leaned her head out the window watching him walking towards the fire escape.
"I am so not scared!"
"Sure your not." Jack said while turning around with that smirk she hated so much. He turned back around and was about to climb down.
"WAIT!" Katie said climbing out and onto the fire escape.
Jack smiled to himself before turning around to face her.
"Oh, I feel so special Katie Taylor wants to join me!" He said placing his hand over his heart.
Katie stood up to him and looked up at him and replied with a smirk of her own to match his. "Don't flatter yourself."
Jack shook his head and turned around and climbed down the fire escape, actually more liked jumped down the fire escape.
He landed and stood up straight and turned to look up at Katie.
"Come on!"
"I'll-I'll just-
"Come on jump!"
"No I'll crack my skull open and it will be your fault I'm dead because you were at the scene of the crime and your foot prints are right there and you'll be sent there, it's stupid! I'm not going to risk it! They will interrogate you and you will lie which will cause you to be interrogated more! Then they throw you in jail! Then you will be sitting on that yuck stained mattress thinking 'Oh I should of listened to Katie, since she is way more smarter than me." Katie said starring intently back at Jack.
"Okay, 1. You seriously need to stop watching CSI: It started to become bad for your health 2. You're not smarter than me and 3. Your scared."
Katie shook her head and bit her lip.
"I am not scared!"
"Fine, jump."
"What?"
"I'll catch you!"
"What? NO!"
"I won't drop you! I promise!" Jack stated. Katie sighed and took a jump and to her relief he did catch her.
Jack didn't release Katie right after he caught her, they just starred at each other in silence, it wasn't an awkward silence it was a comfortable silence.
Until Jack leaned in closer.
Katie soon realized exactly what was happening. She moved her head and jumped out of Jack's arms.
"That was something I never want to do again." She said smoothing out her skirt. Jack just looked at her. He was rejected.
He shook the thought out of his head watching her.
"You know how much trouble we're going to be in this for this shit?" Katie said before laughing and shaking her head not believing what she just did. Jack smirked and looked towards her and asked.
"Feel good to be a bad ass doesn't it?" Jack asked.
Author's note: Yes I know the last line was similar to the Breakfast Club line by Bender. I couldn't help it! I absolutly love that line! I'm still trying to decide what chapter Katie should actually start to like him..if you got any ideas for that please say so in the review! I love chocolate milk!
