I'm not dead, I was just busy with work.

This is a high school au.

Ash: So Skylor, what did you do to get detention?

Skylor: I told Kai, 'I'm gonna twerk on you at homecoming. You better tip me. I ain't shaking this booty for free'. Then I was sent to the principal's office.

I think that is something Skylor would say and do.
