Scooby-Doo The Mystery Begins (insert reader) (Finished)

(Girl's side) Chapter 5: Detention?!

(Y/N) POV:

"Six weeks of detention?" Daphne asks, surprised.

Yep, just like that. After what happened to Vice Principle Grimes' car, he asked (demanded) to see us in the library after school. And our punishment for the damage on his car is a whole six weeks of detention, just like Daphne said. As for (F/A/N) and Scooby, since Shaggy and I are in trouble for trying to sneak animals on school grounds, we had to leave them tied up to their leashes outside where people park their bikes (I don't know what it's called, sorry).

Daphne tries to convince Vice Principle Grimes she did nothing wrong. "But Vice Principle Grimes, I was merely a victim of circumstance,"

"As was I," says Velma.

"And I was only trying to help," says Fred.

Been there, done that. Whenever I was blamed for something, I would try to reason with Vice Principle Grimes that none of those incidents were my fault and I was only involved because I was trying to do the right thing. But he would hear none of it, thinking that I'm still responsible, which is another reason why people believe me to be the bad kid of the school. In my opinion, there is just no reasoning with Vice Principle Grimes, innocent or not.

To prove my point. "Oh, save it," says Vice Principle Grimes, refusing to hear it."Consider yourselves lucky I'm not suing your parents for damages,"

I'll admit, hearing the word "parents" struck a cord in me. I mean, they died when I was still a kid. And even though I don't have a lot of memories about them, it still hurts knowing that they're gone. Even Shaggy feels bad for me, which is why he snuck a sympathetic glance in my direction.

Him and his parents are the only people who knows how hard it's been for me when my parents were killed. Vice Principle Grimes does have a point, though. In a weird way, it's a good thing my parents aren't alive for this. Because if they were, boy would they be mad for having to pay for the damages on Vice Principle Grimes' car.

"Hey, I was just wondering, are snacks provided for us here...or do we have to bring our own stuff from home?" Shaggy asks.

"You will spend two hours in this room...everyday starting at 3:00 sharp. Got it?" Vice Principle Grimes asks (orders).

Fred then raises his hand, to say something. "Vice Principle Grimes, with state championships coming up, don't you think an athletic exemption might be in order?" he asks, standing up.

"Athletic exemption?" Velma questions, standing up from her seat. "What about an exemption for the science fair? The destruction of my prototype is gonna set me back--"

That's when Daphne decides she has had enough, standing up from her own seat. "Stop it! Just stop it. I cannot believe what I'm hearing. Petty squabbling over athletics, science," she says.

Wow. She actually says something right for a change.

The moment I think that, I'm proven wrong.

"Meanwhile......the school play is in jeopardy," says Daphne.

Never mind...

"Oh, my goodness," says Velma, rolling her eyes.

"School play? Come on!" Fred exclaims.

"Oh, "state championships," Daphne mocks.

And with that the three of them argue over which subject is more important than the other. I roll my eyes at them, and so does Vice Principle Grimes. I get that they each have something that is important to them, but the way they're acting is no different than making childish excuses. It might be because I'm used to getting detention, even though I don't enjoy it (who doesn't like detention?), I at least know when to take responsibility for my actions, unlike these guys.
