Well today has been a good day for me. I hope I can make it happy for you guys too. So enjoy. And please tell me what you think.

"Never, ever, ever, ever, again . . ." she kept telling herself that. "Never, ever, ever, ever, am I pulling that off again. If he wants to know what is wrong with me, I'll tell him what's wrong with me. I show him. I'll show that insensitive git." telling herself out loud, storming into her room and yelling in her pillow.

Detention: The act of detaining. The state or a period of being detained, especially: A period of temporary custody while awaiting trial. A period of confinement to a detention home. A form of punishment by which a student is made to stay after regular school hours. A forced or punitive delay.
To understand the mind of Charlie, is like trying to put a puzzle together of different pictures. There isn't one picture for a person to look at and connect together, there is a variety of pictures that makes no sense. And to her, the word detention is a word that she has known in her head since the beginning of her life. Fine example, in first grade a boy lifted up her skirt, thinking that it was all fun and games. When he came back for a second round, she had a fist ready to swing. Causing him to break his nose and Charlie almost being pressed for charges at the tender age of seven.

Luckily the charges were dropped and she just got detention. But even detention wasn't going to help her learn her lesson. Age nine, she 'accidentally' sprayed water at the 'Cool girls' as they would call themselves, and ended up having to clean the classroom. Age ten: loading water ballons full of mud, with a group of boys whom have been scheming to get back at the bullies. Results were great! But not the cleaning.

Hogwarts: burned Ms. Norris tail, jinxed the bathroom mirrors so that girls would think they were looking ugly, gave a present to the Captain of the Slytheran team, filled with toothbrushes, toothpastes, and floss with a note that caused him to chase her. Broke a statue, jinxed the brooms, screamed bloody murder in the middle of a test, exploded someone's water in Charms, pretended that she spoke Chinese when a teacher tried to talk to her, etc. things like that.

The funny thing is that she only got caught for a quarter of it, there were a lot more that she did, that no one would know who did it. But would always remember that moment.

It was now eight and she was waiting at Professor McGonagalls door, waiting for her to show up. 'A form of punishment by which a student is made to stay after regular school hours.' Patiently waiting for her, she kicked the door and waited longer, "I could have been doing my homework right now," she said out loud, "Well, then you shouldn't get into any more trouble. Be a little bit more, serious." someone said and it wasn't the Professor. Looking at the corner she said, "Oh man! I thought you died!" she said in a serious tone, Ann gave an acid look, "Apparently I'm still alive," Charlie nodded her head like a psychiatrist would, "I see, I see. What a damn shame! And how do you feel about that?" putting her hand on her chin. Ann didn't find this all amusing, "You're detention is with Cedric and I. Professor McGonagall has requested that we would watch you when you're serving your sentence." saying in a sassy tone which made Charlie laugh, "Sentence? Wow, now I'm in jail!" she walked ahead as she mocked Ann.

They went into the trophy room, where Cedric was sitting on the table waiting for them.

'A period of confinement to a detention home.'

"You have to-"

"I know, I know! I've done this too many times." Charlie added in before Ann continued, handing her wand to her and taking off her robe, Cedric watched in wonder. Charlie wouldn't look at him, she pretended that he wasn't even in there. Handing her the bucket of rags and the wax, she snatched it from his hand and went to the first trophy.

"I don't know about you Cedric, but I wouldn't want to be her," Ann said to him, thinking that she was talking in a quiet tone. Charlie knew that she was talking about her, she wasn't being very sly if she thought she was. "I mean, who has the nerve to do something like that? If it was me, I wouldn't do it in the first place. That's why I'm Head girl," she flipped her hair back and gave a loving look to Cedric. Cedric looked rather confused, trying to give a smile to her, he nodded his head. "And that's why you're Head boy! If you weren't such a good boy you wouldn't be here! Right!" leaning in closer to him, he stayed still and avoided her eyes. "Yeah, I suppose." he answered quietly, "See? I think this is a match made in school. The best Head boy and girl, in the school." Ann talked in such a narcissist tone. Charlie was trying hard not to laugh out loud, "Loser" she coughed in between. Causing both of them to look at her, while Charlie pretended nothing happened.

Half-and -hour passed and Charlie kept hearing Ann talk about herself to Cedric. It was not clear to her to how Cedric was taking it, because she was unable to see them, since they were facing her. Though he wasn't answering her, she figured he was listening. Charlie tried hard not to laugh at her, it was so hard to concentrate when Ann's mouth kept blabbering. Rolling her eyes and quietly scoffing at the comments she made about herself.

"I have to go to the lady's room, will you excuse me." telling him in a cute tone, "Sure." he told her. Walking away from Cedric, she gave a snotty look at Charlie. Once she left the room, Charlie let out all of it. "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" howling in laughter and rolling on the ground, she couldn't stop. Laying on the ground while clutching her stomach, "What in the-" trying to say something, but it was so hard. "Oh my God! This is so Dumb!" pointing at Cedric, still rolling on the ground and laughing. Cedric felt quiet stupid for Charlie laughing at her, "What's so funny?" he asked her, it was obvious to what she was laughing at. "Oh- This is- this is too good to be true! This is the first time that I've laughed so hard." Still laughing at him, he stood up from his seat, "What is so funny?" telling her in a stern tone, making her calm down a bit. Still lying in the ground she was staring at him from the ground, while he looked down at her. "Let me see, 'I think this is a match made in school!' " Bursting out in laugher again, with her eyes closed. Cedric wasn't amused by this, "It's not funny." he told her, but she wasn't listening. "Oh yeah right! 'We're the best Head Boy and Girl in the school' Now that is some funny shit!" she told him, still mocking Ann.

"Grow up Charlie!"

"Me! I can't grow up anymore. I've turned the right age where I can't grow up any more."

"Don't be a wise ass!"

"I'm sorry if I am. It's a talent worth not wasting."

"How about we try another talent?"

"What talent is that?" still on the ground looking up at him, making her stop laughing.

"It's called 'How to get a boyfriend.' " he told her, which caused her face to change into anger, "You're just jealous of me because girls like me and you can't get a single guy to like you." he told her. He watched her with her head still on the ground, her hands on her forehead, while her shirt was unbuttoned halfway. 'She looks like a mess.' he thought to herself, 'But that stopped her from laughing,' his eyes moving down to her shirt, she caught him, "Then why are you looking?" she said, Cedric tried to play dumb.

"Looking at what?"

"You know what you were looking at."

"Don't flatter yourself."

"Oh no," she raised herself up while looking at him, "I don't intend to flatter myself." Charlie now was on her feet, closing in on him. "Tell me, when was the last time you had a decent girlfriend?" she moved in closer, yet he stood still. "What does it matter to you?" in a stern tone, moving in closer to him with a innocent look on her face, "I was just wondering because, I don't remember you having a girlfriend last year! Other than that Cho girl," now playing with his tie which was loose; her touch was making him feel rather jumpy and aware, "You're not moving away from me? What? You had a change of heart?" he fired back, but she came back full throttle. "You should talk Cedric, you were the one who wanted to get close to me," buttoning his shirt up which was once off, making him move back "Why are you moving away from me now?" she told him. Intimidating him to a point that he kept moving back, while Charlie hummed a tune, still fixing his shirt and tie. "Ah, so the man is indeed human." telling him, she heard footsteps which made Charlie look behind her and back at him, "Like I said, I don't flatter myself." ending the conversation, she quickly lifted the tie up to high, making him almost choke. Walking away she sat back down to do the rest of the trophys.

"What took you so long? Did you have bladder problems?" Charlie asked in a concern tone making Ann mad, "No!" she retorted and went back to Cedric. Who had a rather stunned look on his face still, "What's the matter Cedric?" asking in a sweet tone. Cedric was still staring at Charlie, though she was faced behind him, he still looked at her. "Noth- Noth- Nothing! Just a little tired." he told her.

'A forced or punitive delay.'

A battle that both Charlie and Cedric won in a day, but it was no where near to what they were expecting. AC/DC blasting in both of their heads, what the song is saying to them, "You've been thunderstruck." they've been thunderstruck from the opposing sides. So what will they do?

Next!
