"Mr. Griffin I think my water just broke."
No response.
"Mr. Griffin I think I'm horny."
No response.
"Mr. Griffin I'm in love with you, let's ditch this whole thing and elope."
Still no response, he just looked up with a raised brow and went back to tapping away on his phone.
Ughhhhh...this sucks.
Let me fill you in on my life lately.
Its been only a week since I joined Walter High and out of my five days at school, I've received eight detentions. I bet if I wasn't having this detention right now, I'd have gotten about three more today.
Don't you even dare judge me.
So here I was on a lovely Friday, serving two detentions at once so I can clear them all by Monday, instead of being at home getting ready for wild party or night out like other teenagers my age.
Honestly, Mr. Griffin is honestly no fun.
"Mr. Griffin I'm bored." I said tapping the desk.
"Look kid, I've never seen you here before but you seem like you've been annoying the s**t out of teachers. How the hell did you get eight detentions in five days? ." He looked amused and frustrated at the same time. More of amused though.
I like him already.
"The only reason I haven't been here before is because I'm new. I'm Kim by the way and you may be seeing me here more often to be very honest." I said extending my hand to him.
Might as well be friends with the teacher in charge of detention. It'll be more fun that way.
"Nice meeting you. You can call me Pete. And you should probably not get into too much trouble so you don't end up in the Principal's office." He said shaking my hand with a small smile.
"I guess we're cool then." I said with an innocent smile.
"Yes, but don't even think you're not completing this detention because you are." He said giving me a knowing look.
"Oh come on, I thought we're friends." I said stomping my feet like a child.
"We are, but you deserve to suffer for your crimes." He said giving me his 'serious teacher' look.
"For real, you poured paint on your art teacher with the excuse that he was an incomplete art piece, asked your biology teacher if being boring was hereditary because you're scared for her children's social lives." He kept chuckling as he read the other offences that were written in my detention report.
"I was quite a rebel in high school, but you my dear are something else." He said shaking his head in amusement.
"Since you're not letting me leave, can I at least listen to music?" I asked with pleading eyes.
"Yes, but no Rock music please and don't make it too loud." He said and went back to whatever he was doing on his phone.
"Thanks Mr. Griffin. I-"
"It's Pete for you Kiddo." He said, cutting me off.
"I like you already." I said walking back to my seat with a smile.
I guess my first friend is a teacher.
Hope will definitely not believe me. I and teachers have never had a good record, but he seems cool and probably is only doing this job for the sake of it.
******************************************
I've been sitting and listening to music for the past one hour and honestly, this is really the type of peaceful moment I needed.
My detention will be over in about thirty minutes, still a long way to go, but I don't mind.
Music is a universe of its own so I was quite comfortable in this detention room with music, peace and quiet..that's until the door flew open and in came the three guys from the cafeteria incident on my first day here.
Are you for real fate?!
First one of them kept staring at me yesterday morning, then the other just happened to be the owner of the dog that strayed to the front gate of my house.
"So much for a peaceful moment." I sighed under my breath.
"Baby wait for me." I heard the annoying voice of the one girl I disliked in this school so far.
Queen B whose actual name I discovered is Darcy came strolling in after the boys.
Things couldn't get worse, could they?
"Hey." One of the three guys said waving at me.
"Uh...me?" I asked with a raised brow, confused by his overly friendly tone.
"Yeah. We didn't have a proper introduction at the cafeteria and you zoomed off on me the last time I saw you", He said moving away from his friends and taking a seat near me.
"I'm Cole." He said extending his hand towards me. "Cole Stevenson."
I would have done something rude to annoy him but I thought of what my boss said and decided to act like a normal teenager.
"Kimora." I said taking his hand and giving it a firm shake with my signature smirk.
"Sorry for my friends' manners." He said glancing at them.
"That's Jeffrey." He said pointing at the guy who held me back at the cafeteria.
"And that is Damon." He said laughing at Damon who was currently suffering from the endless bicker of our one and only Darcy.
He was the owner of the dog from yesterday.
"So Damon is Darcy's baby?" I asked joining Cole in his laughing fit.
"Truth is we don't really like her, but every one at school just has this stereotype that the 'Golden Boy' should be with the residing b***h of the school, it's kinda hard avoiding her." Cole explained.
We talked about random stuff and to be honest, Cole seems pretty cool and let's not forget hot.
"Damn!" Cole said with an amused look on his face.
I turned to his friends again and saw Darcy trying to force a kiss on Damon. Could she be any less obvious?
"Not everyone wants to watch this 'lovie dovie' thing. Not really a fan of PDA." I said loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
"If you don't want to watch, you can shove your face in your ass." Darcy said looking away from Damon and glaring daggers at me.
"You're right. I should probably get a b***h alert too, so I don't have to see you jumping every guy." I said smiling innocently while Cole bowed his head chuckling.
"Do you know who-"
"That's enough." Mr Griffin also known as Pete said standing from his seat, he looked angry.
"Do you guys realize this is a detention room?" He asked rhetorically.
Darcy was about to talk again when he continued.
"And Darcy you don't have a detention report from a teacher so why are you here?"
He was definitely pissed for real this time.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Griffin." she said pulling her already low-neck top lower.
Was she really trying to act sexy for a teacher?!
She really takes the term b***h to a whole new level.
"It wouldn't have happened if the slut over there learned to mind her business." She said glaring at me.
Hold on!
Did she just call me a slut?
I can take any name except hoe and slut.
That's it, I'm killing this girl.
"What the hell did you just call me?" I said standing up and moving close to her. I was going to rip her head off.
"You heard me. Or do I need to spell out the word 'slut' for you?" She said smirking at me.
"No, you don't. Your actions have explained what a slut is, although I don't really appreciate you giving me your personal attributes." I said.
It all happened so fast.
Darcy pulled me and forcefully turned me so I was facing her, I was still in shock by her gesture until she slapped me.
"What the actual f**k?!" I screamed in anger and was about to hit her when I felt someone pull me back.
"Let me go dammit." I screamed in annoyance.
"Calm down kiddo. If you hit her you'll be going to the Principal's office too.” He said gently in attempt to calm me down.
That gesture reminded me so much of the person I loved most and honestly, I missed him.
"Just let it go. I'll make sure Darcy gets punished for this." Pete continued talking to me gently.
And weirdly, it worked
"What the hell were you thinking?" Damon looked really angry as he spoke to Darcy, but I couldn't hear the rest of their talk because Cole came to meet me, Pete took that as his cue to let go.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
"Yeah I'm fine." I said giving him a reassuring smile.
"I'm so sorry about that. Darcy is really petty. I'm sure you'd have kicked her ass if not for our teacher." He said trying to change the mood in the atmosphere.
"Definitely." I said smiling. To be honest, I could kick his ass too, but the explanation for that is reserved for another day.
"There's this party at my place next week Friday. I'll love it if you can come." Cole said shyly.
"Yeah sure. I'll think about it." I replied holding back any form of emotion.
I hardly cry. The last time I ever cried was two years ago and whoever makes me cry never goes away unscathed which is my reason for currently being in this school. Another explanation for later.
"Your detention is over." Pete said interrupting whatever Cole was about to say. He had this sympathetic look.
"Thanks." I said as I picked up my bag and walked to the door. I just wanted to go home and wrap myself up in blankets.
Darcy calling me a slut hit too close to home.
"Hey. Hold on." I heard someone call out to me as I got to the parking lot.
I turned around and saw Damon jogging towards me.
"I'm really sorry for what-"
"Just cut the crap." I said cutting him off. It wasn't his fault, but right now, I didn't care.
I was pissed.
"You should probably put a leash on your b***h of a girlfriend." I said just as a tear slipped from my eye.
I quickly got into my car, closed the door and plugged my ears with some good music.
And that was when the perfect revenge plan popped in my head. Darcy Norman made me cry and no one does that and goes unscathed.
