"Detention, Mr Fenton."
Daniel nodded without looking up at Lawrence, clutching the straps of his bag tightly as he slipped in his seat.
The teacher sighed silently, before going back to his current lecture on Arthur Conan Doyle's writing style, and the next paper he would assign the class.
(A simple creative writing paper, where they would try and emulate a description as did Doyle in Holmes' lines. Easy credit, if you asked him.)
Daniel, although he did succeed in getting his grades back up ever since the Incident, was still the master of tardiness and absences of Casper High.
(The young man got detentions for that more than often, and every one of his teachers had apparently decided that Lawrence was to oversee each of those, as Daniel was 'his student'.)
Lawrence sighed again.
Daniel was a kind boy, a brave and respectful young man that did his best everyday, the teacher knew.
That didn't mean he didn't have problems like anyone.
After all, even Jasmine hadn't had a pristine record at first.
(The Fenton family would be his downfall, really. Or at least that of his career.)
But Daniel was a good kid.
That was why Lawrence would keep on making compromises, at least for a little while more.
Like giving the boy a few detentions a week to make sure he would have the time and resources to finish his papers in time.
AN : (Short one, not that inspired with this prompt right now.)
