If I thought last night's encounter with five teenage guys was the scariest experience of my life, I was soon to be proven wrong.

"Prescott Private College is for those with fervor, intelligence and a bright future." Our Headmaster began,

"We do not tolerate impertinent behavior and severe consequences will apply for those involved with last night's incident.

"My many, many years of experience have taught me to discern the acts of vandalism of school property by a student than those from a stranger. Taking that in mind, every single student will be questioned.

"I encourage pupils who are retaining information to notify me as soon as possible. Reckless manners are not part of what Prescott Private abides. Expulsion applies to those responsible.

"Questioning begins tomorrow morning and unless we're provided with a medical certificate for your absence; you too will no longer be a part of Prescott Private College."

Yup. Definitely scarier.

No one uttered a word. Not even a tiny whisper to the person sitting beside you. Our Headmaster had managed to create the most intimidating atmosphere, it seemed like everyone was finding it hard to breathe.

Or maybe it was just me.

My heart...my heart was hammering so hard, I was convinced our Headmaster could hear it. I couldn't even look directly into her eyes as she spoke in case she noticed I was hiding something.

Which brought me to my question. Was I going to speak up?

What would I say?

I got locked inside school and saw it happen. Sorry, I can't tell you who they were – they had their masquerade-looking masks on. OH WAIT – BIG CLUE – THE MAIN LEADER WAS A HOT GUY WITH A SPANISH ACCENT!

Yeah, no.

Prescott Private School meant the world to me. I met the amazing people I call my friends, the teachers love me, I'm involved in the school's activities, it supports my academic achievements...Prescott is my pathway to my bright future.

I won't risk that.

I licked the spoon of my passion fruit flavored yoghurt and enjoyed the mini tanning session with Gabby.

And Charlie.

"Damn you guys. Life is so unfair," Allie whined. "You can all stay in the sun for hours and get a sexy tan, but me? Oh no, three minutes and I become a frikin tomato!" We tried to hold back our laughter, knowing she'd probably hit us or something.

"Then again," Allie continued. "None of you are wearing sunscreen, skin cancer in progress."

The three of us quickly sat up to seek refuge under the shade.

Allie, Charlie and Gabby started arguing that the chances of getting Vitamin D was more than the possibility of getting skin cancer. It was actually funny to watch. Charlie kept examining his skin every two minutes. What a paranoid little boy.

And then I froze.

It was them. All five guys from last night just walked around the corner of the back of the school. It was so easy to recognize them. So easy to recognize him.

"Chloe, are you okay?"

"Gabby, who's the guy in the gray shirt down by the soccer courts?" Gabby followed my gaze – and so did Allie and Charlie.

"Oh him?! As if you don't know! That's Reece Carter." she winked.

"What do you mean 'as if I don't know'?"

"Nothing, it's just that...everyone kind of knows him, mostly because he and his friends are always up to trouble, he's gorgeous isn't he!"

"You have a boyfriend," Allie stated "but I agree, he's hot."

I ignored them. "How come I've never seen him around?"

"Umm, well he's a year above us, so are his friends." Hell, Gabby knew everybody.

"What else do you know about him?" I tried to keep my voice casual but... I failed.

"Someone's acting like a creepy stalker." Allie muttered. I hit her.

"He's respected," Gabby said suddenly. "Everyone likes him but he doesn't really pay that much attention to anyone but his group of friends. I've never seen him with a girl before – I don't think he dates." Gabby's voice sounded a little disappointed at that. I felt a spark of jealousy inside me.

What the hell was that?

"I guess he's just too busy driving the teachers insane," Gabby continued, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I don't know how he gets away with it or how he still manages to be at this school. Reece and his friends are always in detention, seriously, they have their seats reserved just for themselves."

"Rich parents?"

"Chloe, everyone here has rich parents." I glanced over at the guys again.

"And the rest?"

"Okay well, you see that hunky guy next to Reece? That's Valentino. He's Reece's best friend. Total hottie and party animal. The guy sitting down – the one with dark blonde hair – that's Dennis, he's sweet and cute. And then there are the twins; Jake and Jayden. Double trouble. Basically, you never see the five of them apart; they do things their own way. If there's a problem, it's probably because Reece and his friends caused it... they're the bad boys of Prescott Private."

The bell rung and everyone slowly made their way to their next class. I got to my locker and unlocked it.

And then I just stood there, gazing into my locker – because I didn't know what class I had next.

My diary, I needed my diary.

Can't be Math or Chemistry...can't be English either, I had that yesterday, oh wait – no – maybe I did have it today too? Yes, I had English.

Okay, now... which room am I supposed to go to?

~*~

After walking around the whole school and finally finding the right room, I opened the door and saw a substitute teacher.

"Miss Armel, you're late."

"Thank-you Captain Obvious."

The room went quiet. I realized I had just said that out loud.

"Oh shit."

Again, my class was quiet. I realized I had just sworn out loud.

"Pardon me, Miss Armel?"

"I...um...sorry Miss, I'm just really tired and I wasn't thinking and..."

"Detention Room. Now."

WHAT?

"Excuse me? What? Why? Miss, please!"

"You come late to class and show disrespect. Detention room, now go, unless you would like your headmaster to escort you there."

Bitch.

This time, I didn't say it out loud.

~*~

In all my seventeen years of life, I have never, ever, gone to detention.

I can just imagine how this will affect my future.

A lady wearing formal business clothes has a warm smile as she says: 'Congratulations Miss Armel, you have been accepted to medical school. Our records show you have the potential, intellect and discipline. You are exactly what we have been looking for.'

Then BAM! The evil substitute teacher appears out of nowhere and smirks as she says: 'Oh but, did you know she has had detention before?'

The lady looks at me with disgust: 'Is this true?'

Sweat begins to trickle down my neck: 'I...I can explain!'

She gasps: 'I take back everything - you're not what we're looking for.'

Then BAM! She's gone and all I see is that substitute doing one of those evil laughs – you know, the one's that go: 'MMWWWAAHAHAHAHAHA'

I look at her: 'Shut up you stupid cow.'

I shook my head – wow, I had really gone out of it for a moment.

I glanced up and observed the sign on the door in front of me. DETENTION.

This is it Chloe.

I turned the handle and went in. The first thing I noticed was the teacher who was sound asleep.

And then I gazed at Reece Carter...along with Valentino, Dennis, Jake and Jayden.

HEYYYY BEEEBBBS :)

Okay, I did this at like 12:23am – 2:47am.

I hate coffee so Kit Kats and Milk are the only things keeping me awake.

I actually have lots of ideas for this –so please don't give up on this story!

Anyway – I'm starting to fall asleep

shbvc{0Qw74hfhcnfeu7fi COTE ME, you know I love it. What do you guys think of this story so far?
