Hey guys, and welcome back! So, this is getting difficult. I am literally doing four different writing things at a time. Thankfully, War of the Myriapods is almost done. For those of you who haven't noticed, I updated it two times in the past three days, and I am updating tomorrow as well. Well, this is going to be an awkward detention. I have NEVER gotten a detention, so I don't know what it is like. I have been suspended, but thats a story for another time. So, Overlandrager got the question right! You will all see the answer in this chapter. So, as always any and all feedback is encouraged and appreciated, See ya'll later! Enjoy!

See you guys later,

Chapter 4: Detention

Gregor went straight to the back of the room, were he dropped all of his stuff on the desk, and sat down. He waited for a few minutes, he knew he was allowed to do his work, but he waited anyway.

He had purposely sat away from everybody else, so he highly doubted he would have to worry about the others bothering him. Or, so he thought.

He defiantly had NOT expected Luxa to come in, and sit down right next to him.

-O-

He didn't know what he had expected, but he had not expected this. He was a good four rows away from everybody else, so the odds that she would randomly sit next to him were very slim.

Great, she sat there just so she could annoy me, he thought.

Gregor looked Luxa over, a look of surprise on his face. Not only was he surprised, but he realized he had never looked at her for that long. For the first time, he realized that Luxa was pretty, in fact, she was very pretty. His hatred towards her had just blinded his judgment all this time.

Either way, that did not change the fact that he and Luxa were not compatible whatsoever. They would fight and bicker over every little thing, that is, when they actually did talk.

Once Luxa had finished putting her books in her desk, she stole a glance at Gregor, and noticed him looking at her, with surprise written on his face.

Luxa's Point of View

As she sat down, she began to question her choice of sitting next to him. As long as she was away from Henry, she was fine, but there were plenty of other seats, she didn't have to sit next to Gregor.

There was just something about him. He was very annoying, yes, but she saw something else there. There was a side of him that he wasn't showing, a side of him which she wanted to know. She just had a feeling that she would like that side of him, that they would be able to get along, instead of bickering and fighting over every little thing.

As she finished putting the rest of her things in her desk, she stole a glance over at Gregor. She was shocked to see that he was looking at her. She could see an assortment of emotions displayed on his face.

First and foremost, she could see surprise. She understood that, if she were him, she would also be surprised that she sat next to him.

She could see a little bit a dread, as if he thought she was there to annoy him. She also understood that, since it was a very likely option.

She was most shocked to see. . . Desire? It disappeared as fast as it appeared. She may have very well imagined it, and it may have have been her eyes playing tricks on her. What shocked her even more is that it caused an awkward feeling to stir up her insides. It wasn't unsettling, as it should be, it felt kind of. . . nice? No, no, that's not possible. How could she like him in any way? All they ever did was fight!

She decided to ignore it and focus more on the surprise. "What is it? Are you surprised that I have chosen this particular seat?"

Her voice was much colder than she had intended. Great, all she was going to do was scare him away. She had always been able to tell that he hated fighting, it was very obvious; she had seen him break up fights before, and he always avoided them if possible. It was one of the reasons that they disliked each other so much, because they would always fight.

Gregor seemed to gulp. "Yes, kind of."

Luxa was surprised herself. "Well, anything to be rid of Henry. Currently, he is being such a dick. He thinks it cool that he has gotten himself a detention in almost every class, on only the first day of school."

Gregor seemed to sigh in relief, much to Luxa's amusement. She figured that if she was going to be stuck next to Gregor for the next two hours (this teacher doesn't let you move once you choose a seat), she would at least try to be friendly.

Normally, you were not allowed to talk to others in detention, but with Henry and Ares yapping away in the front of the room, the teacher wouldn't notice if two others were talking.

"I would assume that you are fairly used to this." Luxa commented.

Gregor looked at her weird. "I don't know why you would think that, but no, not really. I've had a few detentions before, not to many though." He explained. "And I would assume that its about the same or you, right?"

Luxa nodded in response. She had honestly expected him to be in detention a lot, due to how annoying he always was. Albeit, now that they were not fighting each other, he didn't seem to be all that annoying.

Honestly, she thought it was a possibility that they could become friends. You know, she was having a party at her house in a few nights. Maybe she would invite him. That is, if they became a little closer to each other.

That should not be all that difficult, considering that they still had another hour and forty five minutes left, plus all of detention the next day.

Gregor's Point of View

Gregor walked out of detention satisfied. He and Luxa had actually gotten along for once. He had seen another side of her, a side he would have never know if they had been fighting. He also found out that they could get along very well, and possibly, with detention the next day, and almost every single class with her, they could become friends.

He would like that. To have an actual friend that is a girl, who is not related to him, or always flirting with him.

Yes, he would like that. He would like that a lot.

So, how did you guys like the chapter? I want to let you guys know that this is not going to be a long story. The next few chapters will be the equivalent to the end of the first book in the series. So you can see how long this whole story will be, not all that long. So, as usual all feedback is encouraged and appreciated, so give me any and all ideas! See you guys later!

Question: How do you think Gregor and Luxa's relationship will play out?
