6: Detention

I’ve never been in detention before but all thanks to Jessi, I’m now gonna spend the rest of my school hours in detention doing the literal worst. I just can’t believe that she lied so easily in my head and the teacher believed her.

Jessi is just the worst and I honestly hate being her sister.

After classes, I headed to detention ready to get it done once and for all. I have no idea what happens there but I’m planning to tell whoever is in charge of my situation because I can’t suffer in silence for something I didn’t do.

I kept my books in my locker and checked my phone only to see a message from Aaron asking me where I was. Aaron and I were supposed to meet up today but now that I have detention, we just have to postpone it. I texted him back telling him I have detention and we’ll have to meet either after my detention or tomorrow morning. After texting him, I didn’t wait for a response and I simply closed my locker and headed straight to detention room.

Walking into the room, I saw a bunch of students and Jessi, her legs crossed on the table, her gaze on me, and her eyes folded on her chest "Hello, sis." A smug grin crept across her face.

I rolled my eyes at her. Now I know why she accused me of cheating on that test, she got detention and she wants to torment my life by making me be here with her.

I ignored her and just took my seat far away from her. Of course, she couldn’t bear the sight of me just enjoying my time, so she had to turn around to face me "Why are you sitting so far? Come sit next to me."

I was about to speak when suddenly the teacher in charge walked in and instructed everyone to keep quiet. We all did as she said and she started discussing the importance of following rules and the consequences of not doing so.

After she finished talking, I said "Miss, I just want to say that I don’t belong here, it was a misunderstanding and I think the English teacher should have known better not to send me here."

She looked at me, brows furrowed as she said "Class, who else thinks they are not supposed to be here and it’s just a misunderstanding?"

Everyone raised their hands and I looked at them shocked. She smirked "Just as I thought, I can already tell you are new here, so you should please behave and try not to talk so you don’t get into any trouble."

I nodded and went silent. Minutes passed by and I was just sitting back writing in a notebook while the teacher was sitting on her desk doing some work on her laptop.

After what felt like forever, the teacher spoke up "I have to take this report card to the principal office and while I’m gone, I need you all to be on your best behavior, do you understand me."

We nodded before she walked out of the room. The second she was gone, Jessi pulled out her phone sighing heavily "Thank god that old hag is gone, she’s so annoying."

"Yeah tell me about it." One of the students backed her up.

Jessi started to text on her phone while the others were talking about leaving. I sat back, I didn’t know what to say or do and before I could think further, the door opened and to my surprise, Aaron walked in. He looked around the room and as he spotted me, he said "Bella, let’s go."

"Aaron? What are you doing here?" I asked confused as I walked closer to him

"You told me you’re in detention so I came to get you." He replied

"Well, you can’t do that, it would only get me in trouble," I said

Jessi instantly chipped in "Yeah, it will get her in trouble so leave now." She hissed, I could tell she was annoyed

Aaron didn’t even bother looking at Jessica or even responding to her as if she was nothing but a ghost. He continued "From the look at here, I can tell that it’s boring as fuck so come with me,"

"Yes, it’s boring and I really wish I could come with you but I can’t. If I leave here, I’ll be in more trouble and I’ll have to do another day of detention, I can’t afford that."

"Well, in that case, I’ll stay with you. Let’s get bored together."

As if Jessi could keep her mouth shut, she had to chime in again, "Aww, cute, you should leave Aaron. I already know what you're up to, and I'm not going to let you get away with it, so just leave."

Once again, Aaron ignored her, facing me, he asked, "Is anyone sitting here? I wanna take this seat." He pointed at the chair next to mine.

"No, but you really shouldn’t be here; the teacher is coming, and you’re gonna get in trouble."

"Well, it’s either this or you come with me. It’s your choice."

I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say before finally asking, "Where are we going?"

"Somewhere very special, just you and me. What do you say?"

Before I could even think, Jessi jumped in with, "She says no."

I didn't want to agree to go with him, but just to annoy Jessi, I said, "I say yes, let’s go."

A smirk appeared on his lips as he replied, "Great." He took my hand, and we were about to leave when Jessi's voice stopped me in my tracks, "You should enjoy being with Aaron while it lasts because once you find out about him, you’ll never want to be anywhere near him again."

I wasn’t quite sure what she meant by that, but it felt like she was trying to hint at something important. I glanced over at Aaron, who met my gaze with a reassuring smile. "Let’s get out of here." He said, his voice soft and calm "I can’t stand being in the same room as my crazy ex-girlfriend that wants nothing more but to ruin my relationship." He said and with that, we walked out of the room.

I’ve never skipped a class or sneaked out of anything school related but now that I’m about to, I can’t help but feel excited
