chapter fifteen

Ian's P.O.V

When I got to school the following day, everyone was talking about what had happened. On getting to class I noticed that Tessa was not there, I knew she had gone to the principal's office. I was very curious about what was going on. Few minutes into class, Jacqueline took permission and left the class. Several minutes later, she was yet to be back and I started getting really worried. I also took permission but I did not go anywhere near the principal's office, I only wandered around and at the end of class I returned to class, unfortunately for me, the teacher was still there and I was given detention after school for returning to class late.

The day went by very fast, Tessa and Jacqueline were back for the second class. Nobody asked about what had transpired in the principal's office, since they would still find out anyways. After the last class, Tessa and Jacqueline packed their books and started heading towards the detention room.

I hurriedly packed my books and followed them. When they got to the door of the detention room, they stopped and turned to face me giving me questioning looks. I explained how I got detention but I left out the fact that I left class because of them.

They nodded and we entered the detention room.

Mrs Sparsity, the most cruel teacher in the school was seated at her desk, she was in charge of the detention room. Her facial looks tells you all you need to know about her, she had big, dark eyes,pointed nose and her lips was painted with a red lipstick that looked like it was made out of real paint. She was the total opposite of beauty. She called us in and asked us to take our seats.

Our school had a very different system, while other schools do nothing during their detention period, our school made us read during detention which wasn't part of my favourite things to do, so we settled down and started reading our books. Few minutes into detention, Mrs Sparsity's phone ranger and she answered it. After the call she pointed at me.

"Hey, you!" She said.

"Yes ma'am" I replied.

"What's your name?"

"Ian Edmond"

"I will be gone for a while and I want you to be, are you up to the task ?"

"Yes ma'am" I replied with all seriousness.

Mrs Sparsity left the detention room and I felt the need to talk to Tessa and Jacqueline, and I walked up to them.

"Hi" I said.

"Hi, you too" they said in unison without looking up from their books.

"Please we need to talk" I said and they finally gave me their attention.

"Okay, so, I think I might have offended the both of you" I said slowly trying to see their reaction. Tessa was the first to speak up.

"Yes you did, do you even have any idea of the damage you caused?"She answered in annoyance. Jacqueline just sat there in silence.

"I am very sorry, please can you guys forgive me?" I asked. They stared at me for a while and Jacqueline whispered something to Tessa, then they faced me again.

"Okay, but on one condition" Tessa said.

"I would do anything just so you can forgive me" I said even though I was not sure.

"Okay, promise us you would change for better."

"In what way?"I looked confused.

"Stop trying to get just any girl just because you are popular" Jacqueline said.

Now that might be hard because for goodness sake I was Ian Edmund, the coolest guy in school. Dating was my number one priority. I thought about it for a while, so I came to a conclusion that if stopping that would earn me their friendship, I was ready to stop.

"Okay, I will, I promise"

"Seriously?" Jacqueline asked.

"Yeah"

"Problem solved, we have forgiven you" Tessa said.
