Chapter 4: Detention Day

As soon as home base was over Mr. Medulla gave Warren and Des a pass to Principle Powers office. As Warren was about to open the door Powers opens it.

"Well, my two favorite students. I can tell you two are going to be detention buddies. I have work from your teachers since I knew neither of you would get it." Powers hands them each a folder and a book.

"Gee, thanks." Warren says sarcastically.

"No thank you Des?"

"Your n-not welcome.

"What do you have in your bag?"

"What h-happened ttt-to Dave ch-checking my bag every m-morning?"

"Yes well after his recent behavior I don't feel I trust him. Open it." Powers orders.

Des sighs rolling her eyes and opens her side bag.

"Canvas and a notebook." Powers murmurs, "And that?" she asks pointing to a rectangular case in Des's hand.

Des opens it revealing: pens, pencils, oil crayons, water color paints, markers, and crayons.

"Well you know where to go." Powers points out of her office.

Warren and Des turn and walk down the hall to the detention room followed by Powers.

"Try what you did yesterday and you might break a finger." Powers tells them. "I will send Will and Layna with your lunches later in your assigned period. Have fun." Powers smiles and closes the door on them and locks it.

"What if we g-gotta t-take a piss?" Des calls after her. "I s-swear I'm gonna murder that woman b-by the end of the month." Des murmurs to herself flopping in a desk, and taking out a piece of skinny canvas she had already started to draw on; Warren looks over her shoulder at the canvas. "C-Can I help you?"

"What is it supposed to be?" Warren asks.

"That's a girl, her thoughts." Des points to a small girl standing on the sidewalk waiting for her bus and a big bubble of violent images and scrambled words.

"Is it you?" Warren asks.

"I haven't d-decided yet. Will you go away from me?"

"Someone's moody today." Warren stands up behind her.

"I'm not moody, I j-just don't like p-p-people looking over m-my shoulder."

"Fine, I won't look over your shoulder." Warren sets his book on the other desk and drags it over across from Des, and sits. "Is that better?"

"No."

"I'm just trying to be, I don't know, friends?" Warren tells her leaning forward on the desk waiting for her to answer, but only gets a look from her. "Everyone needs friends, even if it's only one."

Des nods in agreement and Warren sits back in his chair smiling inwardly.

"I still can't get over your brother doing that to Powers."

"Should've s-s-seen what he did to this one p-principle in Niagara Falls, again I got in t-t-trouble for self-defense. Dave went in there sl-slams his hands on the desk and says 'I'm gonna kick you're ass, now are you gonna fight back?' I thought he was going to shit himself."

"Niagara Falls?"

"We lived t-there for about a year, then moved to Maine."

"Where'd you live before that?"

"P-pr-pro- blah, Prague."

"Prague?"

"Czech republic." Des answers still receiving a dumbfounded look from Warren, "Europe."

"Ah, do you speak Czech?"

"That would b-be German, yes, I do."

"Say something."

Lunch

Des looks up making Warren turn around in his seat to see Will and Layna coming in with two trays.

"Don't worry, I didn't spit in it." Will says holding the tray out to Warren.

Warren looks at the tray, then Will and takes it. Warren stares at the hamburger on the tray hanging half out of its bun with little ketchup and mustard packets on the side of the little chocolate milk.

"Eat me Warren, eat me." Des makes the hamburger talk to Warren in a little squeaky voice making Warren stare at her, and then shakes his head. "Thanks." She tells Layna, removing the top bun from the burger and opening the little packets and pouring them on the burger.

"You're welcome Warren." Will says.

"No your not."

"Did you draw this?" Layna asks, picking up the canvas with scenery on it done in oil crayons.

"Um-hum." Des says biting into the burger.

"It's good."

Looking over Layna's shoulder, "Really good."

Layna puts the canvas back on the desk, "Me n' Will were going to go to the carnival-circus thing at the dome, do you want to go?"

Des looks to Warren then back at her, "I was go-g-gunna go with Warren."

"We can all-"

Will cuts Layna off, "Like a date?"

"Just friends." They reply in unison.

"Oh, well, if you change your minds-and Magenta and Zach are going also." Layna informs them, "See ya later." She says going out the door with Will.

"We are?" Warren looks at Des.

"Yes, we are."

"Thanks for asking if I wanted to." Warren says, "Is that eatable?"

Des nods a yes to his question.
