"Miss Kayla, what did I just say?" The teacher, Miss Li, yelled angrily, her sharp glare piercing through Kayla. The intensity of her voice made the poor girl shudder in fear.

"I...I...I don't know," Kayla stammered, biting her bottom lip nervously.

"You don't know?!" Miss Li repeated, her voice rising.

She walked closer to Kayla's desk, her expression stern and unyielding. "You see, Miss Kornels, one thing I absolutely cannot tolerate as an English teacher is when my students are distracted during my lessons. The lack of focus, the lazy behavior, the constant tardiness—it's unacceptable. Do you know how I deal with such behavior? I discipline them. I give them detention for a month to straighten them out. And that is exactly what I'm going to do to you. After this class, I want you in the detention room. Failure to show up will earn you an extra month. Is that clear?"

Kayla bit her lip harder, trying to stop the tears threatening to spill. How was she supposed to pay for her parents' trial if she spent her time stuck in detention?

If it had been something less her fault, she might have lashed out at the teacher. But deep down, she knew she was partly—if not fully—to blame. She'd just have to endure it and maybe try to talk to Miss Li later.

Raven, who had been watching Kayla the entire time, felt a pang of sympathy. There was something about the way Kayla stood there, biting her lip and holding back tears—it was pitiful.

"Hey… can I borrow your notepad?" Raven asked softly.

Kayla frowned, turning to Raven with a sharp glare. "Why the hell should I give it to you? If you need one, go buy it yourself."

She turned her attention back to the teacher, ignoring Raven entirely.

Raven wasn't surprised or offended. She could tell Kayla was going through something much worse than just a detention sentence. Her life seemed… heavy.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT ME?!" Kayla suddenly snapped, her sharp voice slicing through the air as she glared at Raven. Ever since she'd walked into this classroom, Raven's eyes hadn't left her.

"KAYLA! DETENTION—NOW!" Miss Li's voice boomed across the classroom, drawing every student's attention to Kayla.

Kayla froze, her eyes slowly lifting to meet the teacher's furious glare.

Raven hesitated before speaking. "Um, Miss Li—"

Kayla thought for a second. So her name is Miss Li…

"It was my fault," Raven continued hesitantly. "I mean—"

"BOTH OF YOU, DETENTION! NOW!" Miss Li yelled again, her voice final and uncompromising.

Raven glanced at Kayla with an apologetic smile, but Kayla only glared in return. Raven hesitated, her lips parting as if she wanted to say something more but stopped herself.

Kayla stood from her seat, her chair scraping loudly against the floor. As she walked past Miss Li, she stopped directly in front of her, leaning in close to whisper.

Except it wasn't much of a whisper—the front row definitely heard it.

"You know… you really need to get laid."

With that, Kayla walked out of the classroom, leaving Miss Li fuming with barely contained rage.

DETENTION ROOM

"Kay—"

"Don't talk to me," Kayla interrupted sharply, her voice trembling with anger and unshed tears. "It's all your fault I'm in here."

Raven sighed. "Okay, fine. I'm sorry."

The room went silent for a moment before Raven spoke again.

"I can get you out of here, you know… if you want."

Kayla's head snapped up, her teary eyes now wide with curiosity. For a brief moment, Raven thought she looked… cute.

"Really? Isn't that like… doubling our punishment?" Kayla asked, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"Yes and no—"

"What do you mean 'yes and no'?" Kayla frowned, her frustration evident.

"If you'd let me finish…" Raven snapped, throwing her hands up in mock surrender. "It might double our detention if we get caught. But if we act like we don't care and make it look like we're not taking it seriously, they'll probably just forget about us."

For the first time since they met, Kayla smiled—a small, curious smile.

"So… what's the plan?" she asked.

Raven grinned. "There is no plan. Just follow my lead."

Without another word, Raven climbed onto the window sill and jumped out, disappearing from sight.

Kayla gasped, her hands flying to her mouth. "Isn't this, like, a death wish?" she muttered to herself.

From below, Raven's voice rang out. "Are you coming or not?!"

Kayla groaned, took a deep breath, and leapt out after her.

"Ouch…" Kayla groaned as she hit the ground.

"Gosh, you almost landed on me!" Raven huffed, pulling Kayla to her feet. "Come on, let's go."

As they dusted themselves off, a confident voice interrupted them.

"Well, well, well… what do we have here?"

Both girls turned to see a stunning girl with ash-blonde hair and striking lemon-green eyes, dressed entirely in black. Her arms were crossed under her ample chest, her posture oozing confidence.

"Lexy," Raven muttered.

"The one and only," Lexy said with a smirk, flipping her hair back.

Raven rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Lexy scoffed. "What does it look like I'm doing? Sneaking out, obviously. You know I hate lessons."

Her gaze shifted to Kayla, who was still standing awkwardly beside Raven.

"Well, well, well… if it isn't the infamous Kayla Kornels."

Kayla was about to respond with a polite "hi" when Lexy's smirk widened, and whatever she said next made Kayla's expression twist into a glare.

Raven quickly stepped between them. "Enough, Lexy."

Lexy chuckled. "Oh, relax. I'm just having fun."

As Kayla tried to move past her, Lexy grabbed her wrist and grinned.

"Not so fast, babe. I'm coming with you two."

Kayla yanked her arm free. "Let go!"

Lexy let her go immediately, and Kayla stumbled backward, landing flat on her butt.

"Ouch! What the heck?!" Kayla shouted, glaring up at Lexy.

Lexy shrugged. "You insisted."

Why does it feel like I'm being bullied by this girl? *Kayla thought

Kayla couldn't help but feel like she was dealing with a second version of Ashley—the difference being Ashley was a manipulative schemer who struck when least expected, while Lexy? Lexy was the type to openly take advantage of any situation she could.

"Are we done here?" Raven interjected. "Because if we're going to escape, we'd better do it now."

Lexy smirked. "Lead the way, fearless leader."
