'School sucks.' Airachnid thought as she sat in her seventh class of the day staring at the clock, which seemed to be moving slower than usual today. 'Just five more minutes.'
She wasn't the only one that was bored and wanting to get out of the class. Many other students were either goofing around or just waiting, like herself, for that dammed bell to ring.
It was only two weeks into the school year and she already hated it. She hated the teachers, the students and the fact that her parents decided to up and move the family from Kaon to Iacon without even asking her and her two sisters what they thought about it first. She just wanted to go back home.
'Home was way better than this place. All of my friends were there.'
There was a gentle tap on her shoulder. Groaning, she looked behind her to be met with the soft blue eyes of-
"... Arcee?" to say that she was bewildered would've been an understatement. She was flat out confused as to why this girl, a tomboy one at that, would be talking to her, the gothic punk.
"It's time to go." Arcee said while pointing at the clock.
Airachnid glanced at the clock before sighing. "Alright... thanks." mumbling the last part while getting her bag off of the floor.
"No problem." with that Arcee grabber her own bag and left the class.
On the other side of school leaning against a wall as the other students piled out of the class was Breakdown. He had been waiting for his friend Knockout for the past ten minutes.
'He better not have gotten in trouble again. Otherwise his dad will be pissed.'
Meanwhile in the class Knockout was sitting at his desk while the teacher gave him a disapproving glare.
"Can I um... leave now?" he asked rather nervously.
The teacher sighed. "Knockout, you need to start paying attention in class instead of messing around. You're smart yes, but there are still consequences." he crossed his arms, "Now, are you going to tell me why you threw your textbook at Heatwave, or are you just going to remain silent?"
You see about ten minutes before the bell rang, Heatwave and Knockout ended up getting into an argument. Some choice words were said and it ended up with his textbook thrown at Heatwave's face, the teacher being gone until then.
Knockout looked down mumbling, "I'd rather not say."
"Very well, but you do have detention after school tomorrow." he gestured towards the door, "You may leave now."
With that said, Knockout bolted out the door faster than he had before.
Breakdown, a little surprised at his friends arrival, asked, "You okay man?"
"I'm fine, just not looking forward for tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Detention."
They both headed out towards the student parking lot, their houses were only two blocks away from it so they didn't see the need to go the long way.
"Good luck man." Breakdown said after a couple moments.
Knockout raised an eyebrow, "With what?"
"Telling your dad. We both know he hates when you're in trouble."
"Oh."
The rest of the walk home was in silence.
"How are you feeling today, Ember?" a voice sounded over an intercom.
A young feminine voice called out, "How long am I supposed to stay here?"
"Until we find out what is wrong with you. That was what you requested from us."
"It's been months! Haven't you found anything yet?"
"Not yet. A couple more tests should point us in the right direction. Now, again, how do you feel?"
"I feel exactly the same from when I first came here."
