" Psst, Foster, check this out." Keefe tossed Sophie a note in history class the next day.

Sophie checked to make sure their strict teacher, Mrs. Sanders, wasn't looking. Sophie unfolded the note and read it quickly. 

Foster, so what were you and the Fitzter talking about yesterday? Care to let me in on the secret? Hey, just an idea, wanna play soccer after school? P.s, doesn't Mrs. Sanders look like a zebra in that black and white plaid dress? * intense snickering*

Keefe

Sophie started to giggle and throw the note back to Keefe but stopped as Mrs. Sanders looked their way. Her stern glance let them know she had seen the exchange between them. 

" Ms. Foster and Mr. Sencen, see me after class."

Sophie gulped. She glanced at Keefe and he shrugged.

Once class was over, Sophie gathered up her books and met Mrs. Sanders at her desk. They waited for Keefe to gather his things before their teacher started talking.

" Hand over the note."

Keefe grudgingly handed over the note. Mrs. Sanders unfolded it and started reading. 

" Well," She said slowly when she finished. " I don't quite like the things you wrote in here, Mr. Sencen. Detention for both of you today after school."

" Aw darn it," Keefe groaned, " I was gonna play soccer with Foster."

" I'm afraid not," Mrs. Sanders shook her head.

" Next time it'll just be us two," Keefe whispered to Sophie and her heart fluttered.

After they received their detention slips, Sophie headed to her last class, which she had with Fitz and Tam.

She plopped down in her seat and smacked her head on her books.

" What's wrong?" Fitz asked.

" I have detention," She replied, voice muffled by her books.

" Aw, that sucks. Let me guess. Keefe?"

" Yeah, he passed me a note in class and the teacher caught us."  

" Keefe got you caught up in trouble this time?" Tam passed them to take his seat in front of her.

" Yeah. We got detention."

" Oh. Well Linh and I use to get detention all the time."

" Really?" Sophie couldn't see a sweet girl like Linh getting in trouble, but then again, they'd only been friends for about two years now. 

" Yup." 

Their teacher walked in then, and Sophie payed attention like never before. Once class was over, she headed to the detention room, meeting Keefe on the way there.

" Welcome to detention with Keefe," He joked. Sophie rolled her eyes. " Gee, thanks a lot."

" No problem. Just let me know the next time you want to spend detention with me."

"I think Mrs. Sanders will change our seats now so we don't sit next to each other," Sophie pointed out. Keefe shrugged. " Let her do it. It won't keep me away from you forever."

Sophie blushed. For their detention, they had to clean the room and scrub the floor. Sophie was hot and sticky by the time they finished, and took a shower when she got home, vowing to never get detention again, no matter  how much Keefe wanted her to.
