"Do you mind if I join you?"he asked.

I just nodded my head.

"My name is Ian Edmond and you?"

"My name is Jacqueline Wilson"

"Nice to meet you".

I forgot to mention I sometimes get ratty.
He kept on talking for a while and asked questions that demanded answers. 
I had chosen that table to have my peace and to stay away from trouble. When I found his questions unbearable, I decided to leave instead of losing my temper.

REVOLVING IN CIRCLES

After Mrs Sparsity left Ian in charge of the detention class, she left the room. I looked up only to see Ian walking towards Tessa and I, but I ignored him. 


He walked up to us and started saying all sort of things but I kept mute. Until he asked us to forgive him, then I remembered that he once asked me to forgive him but after I did, he did something terrible again. So I whispered to Tessa that we should give him a condition before we forgive him. 


We told him the condition and he accepted but not before giving it a very good thought. We forgave him and he joined us in reading, thirty minutes to the end of detention, we started chatting about all sorts of things. 


During our conversation, Tessa opened up about how she had not had any real friends ever since her parents divorced. We were so lost in our conversation that we didn't notice the presence of Mrs Sparsity.
