January 3, 1995
Gwen and Ozzie were currently sitting in detention for the past few minutes. They were both throwing paper balls for the past few minutes. Ozzie got up, did a just, and shot his ball into the bin. He turned to Gwen and smirked. "And that's how it's done." Gwen scoffed, "I could do that too!" She crumbled a piece of paper and got up out her seat. Gwen aimed at the recycling bin and threw the ball, only for it to hit the girl sitting in the front row.
She turned around and looked at Gwen, who was now cringing hard. "Did you just hit me with a paper ball?" Gwen exhaled, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was aiming for the recycling bin. S-See, my friend and I were having a competition on who gets the most balls in a-"
Ozzie cut her off, "And she failed." Gwen glared at him, "Shut up Ozzie!" Nikki chuckled, "It's fine. No worries." She shook her head, "Do I know you?" Gwen narrowed an eyebrow, "I don't think so…Why?" Nikki shook her head, "I think you're in my English class. Gwen, right?" Gwen smiled, "Yeah. You're Nikki right? I think I saw my brother trying to ask you out. Nate? The guy who was holding a skateboard, winking like he had a seizure."
Nikki chuckled, "Yep. That's me." The two kept staring at each other intensely for the next few minutes, making Ozzie feel awkward. "Oookay. I'm gonna head back to my seat now." They kept smiling at each other for the next few minutes until…
"Why are you two out of your seats?" Valerie asked. Gwen and Nikki turned to look at her. Nikki gulped, " , I just…I needed a pencil to write my apology note…for Sarah. And I was asking Gwen if we could lend me one." Gwen nodded immediately, "Yeah. A pencil." Valerie raised an eyebrow, "Ooookay. But under any circumstances, do not goof around or you'll be getting another detention." She began walking back to her desk. The girls exhaled in relief.
"That was close. Thanks for going along with it. Though I wasn't lying about the pencil for the apology note." Nikki crossed her arms, "Even though she needs to apologize to me for throwing a meatball sub into my hair." Gwen raised an eyebrow but nodded. "I can lend you one, if you want." Nikki smiled, "Thanks." Gwen handed Nikki a pencil from her desk and chuckled. "No problem. Just…make sure you give it back to me after detention's over." Nikki chuckled, "Okay." She walked off, feeling a sensation in her body that was hard to explain.
Gwen headed back to her seat and began playing with her bracelets. Ozzie was looking at her with a raised eyebrow. Gwen scoffed, "Shut up." Ozzie put his hands up, "I didn't say anything."
