51. School and detention.

I had my first detention of the year today. I tried to spend the hour reading ‘An Abundance of Katherines’ by John Green while Friend One who was sitting next to me drew a massive “Swirl of Doom” into his textbook. It was quite impressive.
I couldn’t help but notice a few “What’s she doing here?” looks being thrown my way; I was voted in to be a school leader this year so I spent the last 12 months being quite the goody-two-shoes.

It wasn’t all bad, though. The teacher who gave us the detention is really nice, and she felt so bad about it that she gave us lollypops. That was a first.

My english class was pretty hilarious, too. Our teacher gave us a few weeks to work on something which I’d ignored entirely, so I tried to fake some answers on the spot. I think she believed me for a while, pity she asked us to hand the work in. It wasn’t just me, though. It was quite obvious that none of us had bothered with the work and I can’t remember exactly why it was, but I spent most of that lesson laughing.

School finished well though, with my teacher letting me and four friends sit outside and play cards while the rest of the class watched the new Get Smart.
