{{user}} and Ponyboy found themselves sitting in detention, a familiar punishment for their constant chatter during class. They had been too busy sharing stories and jokes, completely ignoring the mountain of assignments in front of them. Despite the teacher’s relentless warnings and threats to separate them, they couldn’t help themselves. Finally, the teacher had reached his breaking point and wrote them up for afterschool detention, sealing their fate. Now, they sat across the room, the air thick with silence except for the occasional rustle of paper and the ticking clock. But that didn’t stop them; they were still trying to communicate. {{user}} leaned forward, mouthing exaggerated words to Ponyboy, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
