C h a p t e r 3 : Detention Hassle

◇ Akira's POV: ◇

As Ava washes her hands, I take out a lollipop and put it in my mouth.

"I think for history, I'll just sit in the very front row away from the classroom door, and just look outside or down when people come into the classroom, and for math, I'll probably try the same thing."

Ava looks up and at me through the mirror, "That'll work, but only for a while. Aki, you really should think about just confronting him, he probably really misses you. "

I lean against the wall, "No, he probably hates me for leaving him. And he looks like he has other friends and people in his life now. I don't think I still mean what we were back then to him anymore."

Ava rolls her eyes, "C'mon, from what you told me, you guys were so close. And you know what they say, best friends can go on months without talking to each other and still chat with each other later like they never stopped talking."

Now it's my turn to roll my eyes, "True, but that's months, not 3 years."

The bell suddenly rings, and I look at Ava.

"Want me to walk you to class?"

Ava nods and mutters a quiet, "Let's go."

◇◇◇

"Akira Lawson!" My teacher yells.

I open my eyes and sit up immediately and ask, "Yes, Mr. Dickson?"

Mr. Dickson is our English teacher, and is probably also the oldest and meanest teacher here at Greenville High School. It's probably why his last name contains the word 'dick' in it.

Mr. Dickson scowls at me, "Stop sleeping in my class and get to work. Do you even know about your overdue assignment? That overdue assignment is causing your grade to drop down to a C!"

I barely contain the urge to roll my eyes, "Yes, Mr. Dickson, I am aware. I am working on it and will have it turned in the next time I see you."

Of course he has to mention my overdue assignment. He loves to publicly humiliate his students.

"Well, Ms.Lawson, since you were sleeping in my class, you will be given detention after school today. You will stay in here with me for 2 hours," Mr. Dickson oh-so-nicely lets me know.

I clench my fist as I reply, "Yes, Mr. Dickson."

Just as I finish talking, the bell rings, signaling that the school day has came to an end.

I turn my body around and stare at the back where Ava is, and Ava tilts her head, as if asking if she should wait for me.

I shake my head to tell her no, and mouth to her, "You go first, I'll meet you at your house if I can get my parents to let me go."

Don't ask me how she could read all that, but she nods and points at her phone, then grabs her stuff and walks out with the remaining students.

I slid deeper into my seat, and stare at my notebook. Then I look up at Mr. Dickson to see that he's already looking at me.

Creepy ass man.

I raise one of my eyebrows, "Do you need anything sir?"

Mr.Dickson continues to stare at me till he finally speaks, "Yes, sit up straight, and finish your overdue assignment. Also, stay quiet because I have a meeting soon."

I inwardly roll my eyes and nod at Mr.Dickson.

He turns around and goes to his desk, sits on his chair, and goes on his laptop.

I pull out my laptop and start on the assignment, while also hiding my phone and texting Ava.

Me: AVAA!

Ava ❤️: Hayyy 👋🏻

Me: What are you up to right now?

Ava ❤️: Doing homework in my room while blasting music :)

Me: Of course you're doing homework you nerdd.

Ava ❤️: Shush Aki. If I finish my homework, we can have some more time together laterr.

Me: Yeah yeah, okay that makes sense I guess.

Ava ❤️: Btw, how's Mr. Dickson's detention?

Ava ❤️: Having fun?

Me: Girl-

Me: How could you.

Me: Goodbye.

Ava ❤️: Nooooo.

Ava ❤️: Come back right now or you're not coming over 😡.

Me: Okay okay I was kidding 😭.

Me: Anyways ima work on my oVeRdUe assignment.

Me: (That I was very nicely reminded of)

Ava ❤️: Hahaha, okay I'll leave you to it then. Bye bestie 😘

Me: Bye!

I sigh as I put my phone away and continue to work on the assignment.

My phone buzzes, and I look at my phone to see that Blake had posted something. I open it up and see a picture of him getting ice cream at the ice cream place I always go to.

Guess I have to be more careful where I go now.

◇◇◇

After I finally got out of detention, I start to head towards Ava's locker to grab something of hers for her.

I take my phone out to check if I have any new messages and saw what time it is.

Okay I have 8 minutes before my mom comes to pick me up to take me to Ava's house. That's more than enough time to get Ava's notebook and leave the school.

As I'm scrolling through my phone, I suddenly bump into someone.
