Chapter Eight

Twi (or detention room romance XD)

Twi's POV back when the Grandma from Hell was here

I stood in my room, listening to the muffled voices from downstairs. That evil horrid woman had just left, and we were finally able to relax. I breathed out. I had never known I ever even had a grandmother, let alone a grandfather! And now I wasn't even going to be able to meet him! Great… I thought in annoyance how secretive my parents had been to Jack and me over the past few years.

Now what was going to happen? I was really confused, so I just let it go and wandered out of my room, and back downstairs. I entered the living room to find my mom and dad sitting on the couch.

My mom looked up at me. "Hello sweetie, are you okay? I'm sorry you had to listen to that." She sighed and looked down at her white hands, which my dad was holding.

I nodded slowly, "Yeah, I'm fine mom. She isn't coming back, is she?"

My dad giggled, "I certainly hope no!" I laughed at this and brushed my long, black hair from my eyes.

OoOoO

The bell ran and I raced into my classroom two minutes late. My teacher didn't even bother looking up when I did. I was about to sit down when he cleared his throat loudly at me, and I flinched. Last class, he had made a big show about people who come to class late. I had just walked in, and he had glared at me, and then went on this huge shpeal about how rude and inconsiderate it was. He told me that then next time I was late, it'd be detention for the whole week, after school in the class with him.

"Twyla, come here please," he said coolly as I trudged back to his desk to the sounds of tittering from my fellow classmates.

"Yes…sir?" I muttered scathingly.

He gave me a disapproving look and said coldly, "You know the penalties of being late Miss Napier. We did have a talk last class did we not?"

"Yes…" I mumbled, "But you see, my bus broke down, and I had to walk from Main Street all the way here!" It was a bas excuse, and a total lie. In reality, I had slept in, again, and missed my but, again.

"I don't care if you were abducted by Aliens Miss Napier! You were still late, therefore, you will have detention after school, here, and I am calling your parents as well."

I grimaced, "Righteo…" I mumbled.

He raised an eyebrow, "Excuse me?"

I started back to my seat. "Nothing sir…" My class mates snickered at me as I sat down in my seat, fuming. My teacher stood up now, and began blabbing to the class about meaningless crap, and I sat there, playing with my hair. Suddenly, the door opened again, and a boy ran in, looking nervous. He had dark brown hair that flopped in his eyes, and green eyes covered by glasses. He was kinda cute, and I smiled lightly.

Mr. Brown looked up, "You're late Mr. Carson. Do you have a note?"

The boy looked terrified, "No sir, my bus broke down on Main Street!" At this the class erupted in laughter, including me. I wasn't laughing because everyone else was, I was laughing because the excuse I thought I had made up actually happened!

Mr. Brown looked livid. "Sorry James, that excuse has already been used by Miss Napier," he waved a hand at me, and James caught my eye, and smiled shyly. I grinned back. He was so cute!

James turned to Mr. Brown, "Sir, I'm telling the truth, it really happened!"

"Take a seat Carson; you have detention after school for the rest of the week with me…and Miss Napier." He added, glaring at me.

I smiled. Excellent, I got detention with the cute new boy! Maybe my life wasn't so bad after all!

Lunch Hour

I was sitting with Jack and Lina at our usual table when James came over. I glanced up from my hamburger to see him there.

"Hey James!" I said brightly and he blushed.

"Hi Twi…uh, can I sit with you guys?" He looked down, really nervous.

I grinned hugely, "Of course!" He beamed and sat down next to me. Jack by now was looking at James, his eyes narrowed. Lina smiled at him.

"Are you new James?" She asked kindly.

He nodded, "Yeah, I just moved here from Oregon."

Lina smiled, "Wow, long way. Why'd you guys move?"

He shrugged, "My mom got a job here as a fashion designer. I hear she's gonna meet Stacy and Clinton from What Not to Wear today!" He looked really happy, and I giggled.

"I love that show!" I said enthusiastically.

He laughed, "Me too!" We both grinned at eachother. Then Jack spoke up and I wanted to punch him.

"Are you gay?" He demanded annoyingly.

James blinked, "Um, no? Why?" He looked hurt so I rounded on Jack.

"Just because he likes What Not to Wear, does not mean he's gay Jack! Really!" Jack looked affronted and I felt pretty proud.

James smiled at me. "It's okay Twi, really, I get that a lot."

I flared my nostrils, "Well you shouldn't! It's mean!"

He looked touched, "Thanks Twi…" He mumbled, blushing.

I beamed, "So, you ready for detention today?" I asked.

He looked scared now. "Oh my God no! I have never had detention in my whole life!" He looked really worried and I heard Jack mutter, "Prep…"

I patted his arm, "Well, its not that bad! All we do is sit there for an hour. I don't think he'll call your parents. I mean, its your first day here, and your bus really did break down. If he calls, he's just being a prick!"

James looked astonished, and then he laughed. "Wow, you certainly know a lot about this High School!"

Jack snorted, "She just pretends she does!"

James gave him an annoyed look. "I'm sorry but, who are you?"

I sighed, "James, meet my older brother Jack, and his girlfriend Sharlina, or just Lina." James smiled at Lina, and gave Jack a stiff nod. I smirked. I could tell James didn't like Jack much. Hell neither did I!

Detention

I was chewing my pencil, and watching James as he read a huge book. Occasionally, he would look back at me and smile and I would blush and smile back with a little wave. Mr. Brown was sitting at his desk and playing a DS. Yes, a DS. Jesus Christ on a Piece of Toast he's a loser!

I pulled a piece of paper from my purple and gold binder, and scribbled a note to James on it.

Hey.

I passed it to him and he looked at it, then at me, and then grinned. He wrote on it, and passed back.

Hi.

I smiled and scribbled again.

What's new?

He grinned and wrote back fast.

Not much. Detention is really dull isn't it? I thought we had to clean the guys bathroom or something!

I had to stifle a laugh when I got this back from him.

I know! You get used to it. Well, maybe you shouldn't. I am in detention a lot since I sleep in all the time, and I live on the other side of town! XD

He turned and smiled at me when I handed it to him, then he wrote something on it, before handing it back.

Well, he can't get mad at you then! That's so unfair!

I got it back and grinned and then wrote back.

Tell me about it! So, how was your first day here other than this?

He got it back and smiled.

Actually, even this isn't bad. My whole day was amazing actually. From the morning until now!

I got it back and blinked, confused.

Why? What happened? :)

He got it back and grinned.

I got to spend it with a beautiful girl! :)

When I got the note back, I felt my face heat up. I looked up at him, and he smiled at me shyly. I grinned stupidly back at him. Then Mr. Brown said we could go, and he booked it outta there like idiots. Once in the hall, James turned to me.

"Well, that wasn't horrific!" I laughed and he grinned.

"Not really," I agreed, "In fact, I quite liked it."

He smiled at me, "I agree. I think I am looking for ward to the next detention tomorrow. How about you?"

I beamed at him, "Couldn't agree more."

AN: I AM SO ALIVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! Its 2009 and I am BACK! I was away WAY too long! I am so sorry to all my reviewers. You must all hate me! D: So yeah, I'm back, and here is the newest chapter. This was done fast, and badly I might add. I hope my vibe comes back soon, REALLY SOON! Since I now own TDK on DVD AND I have a toy of the Joker! XD

Anyway PEACE!

Twi. M
