Today little did I know that today would be the day I got detention over pretecting someone I loved.

It was the begining of the morning and as always I wasnt fully awake.

Shell! A troubled voice entered my head.

It was homeroom and I wasnt fully awake. Mr. Floyd was taking attendence and I thought I was going crazy.

Shell! Look down the hallway!

At that point I figured out what was going on.

I raced out the classroom. Down the hallway a crowd of kids stood watching Trent and the school bully AJ fighting.

"I got a feeling something was wrong." Warren said rushing to my side.

"Oh god not after everything he's been through."

Warren and I rushed to were AJ had Trent pinned against a locker.

When I looked at Trent his lip was butsted and there were multiple bruises all over his face.

A struggled gasp came out of his mouth.

"Oh right." I said rememebering why I was there.

Warren and I looked at each other. At that point we both knew what to do.

With that AJ fell to the floor with a loud thud.

Trent landed on his feet, rubbing his neck.

"Thanks guys." He said, his voice raspy.

All three of us begin to walk down the hallway, until Mrs. Burns stopped us.

"You four to my office, Now!" Mrs. Burns said with emphasis on the word now.

Mrs. Burns Office was normal. Pictures of her husband, Family, Sons, Daughters, Grandkids etc.

"Im going to cut right down to the chase. AJ I know you started this fight,"

"If this little maget didnt go and say something about me..." It was Trents turn inturerupt someone.

"That I didnt do. I did nothing at all." Trent said his voice rising a tad bit.

"Shell and Warren as for you two, I know that Trent here is your friend and you were trying to defend him but you two will have detention for punchin AJ." Mrs. Burns said with a straight face on.

I was about to protest, but I decided to leave it alone.

"Ok you all can go back to class."

And with that we all left with detention or without it.

******

Five people were in detention.

A stoner probabally caught with a cigerette.

A long haired skater who just got detention because he wanted to.

Warren.

Some emo kid that couldnt make a single friend in this school. This one had to many piercings.

And me.

Warren tucked a note under my arm.

Shell,

When we get home be ready at 7:00. Theres a dress in your colset.

Warren

I looked at Warren and he met my eyes.

Fine I mouthed.

Warren smiled that wonderful smile that I loved. Just then I realized how much I missed him.

Time ticked by slowly. Finally the hour had passed.

Warren and I walked out together without saying anything.

******

When I got home I walked up to Trents room.

"Im going to forgive him." I said while standing in Trents doorway.

He looked up, a little suprised.

"It's about time." He said smiling.

"He's taking me out to dinner. He slipped me this note in detention saying be ready at 7:00 and that there a dress in my closet."

"Go look in your closet." Trent suggested.

I ran to my room and threw open the doors, And there was a blue dress bag. I walked over to the bag an opened it.

The dress was beautiful. It was blue, a deep midnight blue with a black bow on the back.

"I thought you would like it," Trent said "Warren told me all about this."

I walked over and hugged Trent as hard as I could.

"I love it. Thank you."

Trent went back to his room and I was left alone.

******

It's 7:00 and theres a knock on my door.

"Hold on." I yelled at the door while trying to find the other shoe.

I had my hand on the door knob.

When I opened the door Warren was standing there with his tux on.

Smiles grew on both of our faces.

"You look beautiful."

"Thanks, Im guessing you apologised to Trent?" I asked.

"Yah, why?"

"Nothing."

We walked out to Warrens car in silence. Warren opened the door for me.

When we started moving I figured I'd say something know to get it over with.

"Im sorry. I was just really mad at you. I didnt want to forgive you quick because I thought you would just do it to me again. Just you won't do that to me again, right?"

He took my hand. I could tell that ment he'd never do it again.

"Were are we going?" I asked Warren. Thats the one detail he left out.

"Out to dinner."

Finally we were there. Old and young couples were walking in dressesd up and everything.

We were sitted quickly. Warren was very well known here.

"Your wife is beautiful sir." The waitress said.

"Thank you." Warren said without hinting that I was only his girlfriend.

"You know that lady just called me your wife. That doesnt bother you at all?" I looked him straight in the eyes.

"No, Cause I hope that you'll be there to be my wife." Warren said blushing a little bit.

"I will be and you know that." I said.

"Here I want you to have this" He said taking a box out of his tux jacket pocket.

He placed the box in font of me.

I took it hesetintly. I opened it.

"Its an engagment ring." I said aloud

Some people behind us looked at our table.

"Yah, I know. I got it cause I wanted you to have it so I know that you'll keep your promise of marrying me."

"Of course I will." I said while taking his hand.

******

When we got home, I went into the backyard and just sat there for a little bit. It was a warm night out.

"You know tonights a beautiful night." I heard Trent say to some-one.

"Yah, why dont we go join Shell outside." Warren answered back.

"Yah why dont ya." I yelled back.

They did.

For the rest of the night we sat there just talking away. The night just drifted through our hands.
