Silent Lake

Chapter Two

SMACK!

"WAKE UP MIA! NO SLEEPING IN MY CLASS!" Mr. Richard roared at me. After the ruler smacked down on my desk.

"Oh god. I'm so sorry, I guess I was tired..." I said it innocently, like maybe just maybe he would forget about the detention.

"Well you can always sleep in detention" He smacked the yellow slip down on my desk.

I guess not.

It read,
3:00 detention. Mrs. Noel. Reason: sleeping during class.

I groaned. Mom's totally gonna ground me for this. What if I'm not allowed to go boating this weekend.

The day slowly went on until detention.
I walked into the dimly lit classroom. There I saw a bunch of misfits and me, the girl who sleeps in class. I continued walking in towards the back of the class when I saw, my locker buddy. Since I knew no one else in this classroom I sat next to him.

"Hey, you're David right? Our lockers are beside each other's ." I spoke trying not to sound too much afraid. I don't really like talking to other people. I avoid confrontations at any cost possible. Or speaking.

"Yeah. You're Mia Gardner. Your in my science class, that's how I know your last name." I looked down at my desk in front of me, feeling awkward that he knew my last name.

"Sorry, kinda stopped the conversation there." His dark black hair covered his eyes when he looked down at the desk.

"That's okay...I'm kind of a conversation stopper too. I don't really like talking to people, not that I don't like talking to you, uh..um..." My hands were shaking. Why am I so nervous talking to him? He's just a boy.

BUZZ

I got a text from Hailey, it was on the group chat that all our friends text on.
'Evan can we use your boat this weekend?'

'Sure, just us right? I'm not allowed to have more than 5 people. My parents rules. :('

Yep! Just us!'

I put my phone back down. Didn't want to be rude in front of...I didn't even know his name. Come to think of it. He knew mine but I don't know his.

"So...I'm sorry I don't know your name.." I was trying to get some information out of him.

"Oh yeah, I never introduced myself, It's-"

RING

"Oh detention is over all ready? See you Mia!" He waved goodbye to me as he left the classroom quickly, without a glance back.

I stood up to chase after him but once I already got in the hallway he was gone.

I opened the front door quietly and slowly. I wonder if anyone noticed I didn't come home at the usual time. I heard the TV making noise so people must be in the living room. I gotta do this like a spy.

I snuck into the house on my tippy toes. Why am I even doing this? I could just say I was at a study group or something?

"Is there a reason why your sneaking inside the house right now?" A voice said from behind me.

I turned around and saw my mom standing there. She didn't look mad but I feel like she is about to.

"No there isn't." I tried to sound confident but it's my mom, she catches everything.

"Why are you so late getting home?"

"Um...mat..math lab..!Yep, I was at math lab, with..with Kyle..? Yeah, with Kyle." She walked over to the kitchen by the time I finished the sentence.

"Is that right? So I shouldn't ground you for studying? Because you weren't at detention?"

I feel like she's going somewhere with this. But I'm not giving up yet! I will not be grounded yet!

"Nope, I was at math lab with Kyle like I said before, you can even ask him and-"

"No, it's okay. The phone call I must have gotten must have been for a different Mia then." She smirked at me from behind the bar.

"Fine. I was in detention. Please don't ground me though it's not my fault! I was tired, that freaking boy next door was playing his guitar until-"

"Mia, it's okay, I fell asleep at work. I understand, I'll have to go have a chat with them or I'll file a noise complaint...anyways, you should get started on your homework" She smiled at me.

"Okay mom, call me when dinner is ready." I went upstairs to my bedroom, my bare feet felt nice on the warm fuzzy carpet in my room.

But I couldn't even start my homework, I just kept thinking about that boy in detention.
