After school had ended, Deke and Daisy were finally together. Unfortunately, it was in detention.
"You pathetic little shit" Daisy glared at Deke, who sat at the desk next to hers.
"No talking in detention" the teacher, Ms Amador barked.
"Jerk" Daisy seethed under her breath
Seconds turned to minutes. Suddenly, Ms. Amador stood, "I've got something in my eye." she glared at the students, "Nobody move until I get back"
With that, she left the room.
"Screw this" Daisy bolted from her desk, "later, losers" she was out the door in a matter of moments.
"Wait for me" Deke headed to the door.
By the time he was in the hallway, Daisy was nowhere to be found.
Deke sighed and walked the hallways. He didn't dare try to go back into the classroom, filled with the really bad kids. He'd get beaten up for sure.
"Maybe I can see Daisy out on the field" he smiled, and walked out to the sports area.
"Go Grant!" Daisy cheered for her boyfriend. On the field, Grant Ward slammed into another player and tackled him to the ground.
"Hi" Deke walked up to her
"Oh god, what do you want?" she glared at him
"Hey, that little shit is talking to your girl" another player nudged Grant.
"I'll take care of him" he grinned. "C'mere" Grant yelled to Deke.
"Later" Deke smiled at Daisy, and he quickly walked away.
"Oh, no you don't" Grant followed him.
Deke's quick walk broke out into a run as he raced away from Grant Ward.
A yard or two away, the track team was setting up for their practice. Deke didn't see them and they didn't see him, until he shot past them.
"Wow, look at him go" one of the team members gushed.
Deke was already off like a rocket to get away from Ward, and he outran the track team just to get away.
"Deke!" Elena called to him
He didn't hear her.
Meanwhile, Grant Ward had slowed down to a standstill, shocked to see the younger student run like that
Elena called again, "Deke, you can stop now"
Deke slowed down and glanced back, still moving. He'd already raced around the track enough times, but Grant was nowhere to be found.
"Congratulations" Elena slapped a hand on his shoulder.
Deke flinched
"You" she went on, "just earned yourself a spot on the track team.
