Chapter 4 | Detention

I hate school
After willing myself to get out of bed, I got ready for my fun day in detention, note the sarcasm. I put on very casual clothes which were black sweatpants, an oversized white sweatshirt and my vans.

I walked down the empty hallway to the cafeteria and saw Tyler sitting down, he looked bored. I sat down far enough away from him while waiting for the principal to arrive. Soon enough, I heard the click-clack of her too-high heels. She walked in and I saw Ethan and Dylan standing uncomfortably behind her. "Cleaning supplies are in the janitor's closet, it's unlocked." She walked away.
"Izzy!!" Ethan screamed and gave me a huge hug. I chuckled "Hi Ethan, what are you guys doing here?" Dylan spoke up and said "to be honest I don't know, we get in trouble so often it's hard to keep track of what we did" "oh wow," I said, "yea I know, principal Rudd said if we get detention one more time we would be in big trouble, possibly a suspension or even expulsion." Ethan said, "dang how often do you guys get in trouble?" "How about less chit-chat and more cleaning?" We looked over and saw Tyler standing by the door holding cleaning supplies.
"Hey someone put on some music" Ethan suggested and took out his speaker.
I gave him my phone and he went to my playlist and lush life started playing. Dylan and Tyler rolled their eyes but I could hear them humming to the song while Ethan full-on belted out the lyrics.
-
"Eww!!! Gum!!!" Ethan squealed like the five-year-old he is. I rolled my eyes and went back to mopping. Dylan just smacked him upside the head.
I was minding my own business when I felt a huge splash of water on me. I turned around and saw Ethan holding an empty bucket. "Izzy!! I'm sorry that was meant for Dylan."
Oh he did not
I took a bucket of water and tried to pour it on him but he ducked and it went on Tyler. "What the hell?!" I tried to suppress my laughter but it was no use. Tyler glared furiously at me then grabbed the hose and began spraying all of us.
We emerged into a full-on water fight, everyone versus everyone.
Thank God for waterproof makeup.
I ran and hid behind a table while Ethan was chasing me. Dylan and Tyler were in a water fight now and Ethan and I were fighting.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Ethan stopped mid-throw and lowered the bucket, none of us met her gaze. We were drenched in water and the cafeteria looked worse than when we started.
"Who is responsible for this?!" Her angry voice boomed through the room. Everyone was silent as we exchanged looks."It was me" "You-" she said pointing at me "-come with me. The others clean this place up. Now!"
Everyone immediately got to work while I followed behind her. She took me to the gym closet and gave me a fresh pair of gym shorts and a shirt, then she led me to her office. Luckily for me, the bruises on my arms and legs were faint and you would need to be up close to see so I didn't bother.
"Care to explain yourself?" I didn't look up "I'm s-s-sorry" I mumbled nervously. If she called home and told my dad about this I'd be in even more trouble which was making me nervous. I took deep breaths and kept looking at my fingers. "Because of your honesty, I will let you go without any trouble." I looked up and smiled "thank you and...sorry" She nodded and I left her office.
I walked into the cafeteria with my wet clothes in a bag. "Why did you do that? Are you crazy?!" Ethan asked and I simply shrugged "I didn't want to clean up so I took the easy way out."
Lies.
The reason I did that was so he wouldn't get in trouble. I don't know why though, it's not like we're besties or something but I still did.
"Well that was dumb, now you're gonna get in more trouble." Tyler mumbled "Actually no, she let me go and thanked me for my honesty. I guess we know her favourite here." I replied and went back to cleaning. "That's not fair!" Ethan exclaimed.
I turned to Tyler "a thank you would suffice" I said and crossed my arms "me? Thank you? You've lost it, I don't thank anyone let alone you." "Wow, so you do know that you're rude. Figures." "I'm not the rude one considering you stole my parking spot!" "Oh back to this are we?" "Okay!!" Dylan interrupted and we glared at each other
"asshole" I muttered
"bitch"
"dick head"
"Piss-off"
"No, you piss off"
"F**k you"
"Wouldn't you like to"
"You wish"
"I wish!? Why would I want a rude egotistical jerk-"
"-Don't forget hot and sexy"
"Your nose is getting longer"
"You don't have to lie, I know you find me attractive"
"Damn, even Pinocchio doesn't lie as much as you and the day I find you attractive is the day pigs fly"
"Really…?"
He smirked and walked up to me and trapped me by the table I was leaning against by putting his arms on both sides and whispered in my ear "you are infuriating."
For some reason this situation didn't make me get nervous or get an attack like it usually would have, I felt calm...and angry
"You are idiotic," I said and ducked under his arms. He looked shocked as if he wasn't expecting that answer.
This went on for at least five more minutes until Ethan and Dylan had-had enough "Okay!! Geez we get it you don't like each other but for the love of God stop!!!" Ethan exclaimed and we paused from our swear-off. "I can't believe I'm agreeing with Ethan but you guys need to stop." We looked at each other, rolled our eyes and went back to cleaning, though the tension in the air was thick.

After detention, I went outside so I could drive over to Dylan's house since that was where we were meeting for our English assignment.
I pulled up to the house and my jaw dropped
...wow...no seriously wow…
There were cars lined up ranging from a Porsche to a Jaguar. "Damn" I muttered under my breath. "I know right!" Ethan exclaimed. We were at Dylan's house because Tyler and I needed to work on our English assignment.
We settled down and I had a pencil and book in hand. "Okay, so which one are we going with? Romeo and Juliet or Pride and Prejudice?" I asked and he shrugged "either one" I sighed and banged my head on my book a few times.
"Look, I don't wanna be here as much as you so can you please just stop being so annoying so we can get through this without me wanting to seriously injure you?" He sighed and sat up "fine, let's go with Pride and Prejudice." "Thank you" I muttered and we started working on our project.
After working on the project for a few hours, my phone started ringing. "Hello?" my eyes widened as I heard him yelling over the phone, I forgot to tell him I'd be late so I couldn't make dinner and now he's pissed.
"I gotta go," I said frantically, picking up my stuff, "wait, what? It's only 5 pm." "Look I'm sorry but I have to go, should I take home the poster and work on it some more?" I asked, "no, just meet me here again tomorrow." "I'll see if I can." I ran out and hopped in the car and drove off.
I'm a dead man.
I kept speeding carefully though, I couldn't afford to get a ticket or he would kill me. As I pulled up in the driveway, I got a call from the diner I'd applied at "hello? Yes, this is she, oh my goodness thank you so much, yup that works perfectly, okay bye" I sighed in relief. Hopefully, that'll cheer him up.
I got out and walked inside. "In here now!" I dropped everything and went to face him "listen you bitch, you can't just go off somewhere and not tell me where were you?" "I have a project for school and I was working on it at my partner's friend's house," I replied my voice shaky
"You disobeyed me. Don't think that just because this is a new school the rules have changed. I let you buy that car and phone do not make me revoke your privileges" he spat and I nodded. "Did you get the job, I'm running out of alcohol so you better have" I nodded yes and told him my schedule "go and if this ever happens again..."
I ran upstairs and slid to the floor. Pull yourself together Bella! This is senior year then you're off to college and you'll never have to see that man again.
I walked to the washroom and took a shower, afterward I did some homework and went to sleep...with the aid of my sleeping pills.
