the detention room was nothing new to vance. the musk of the old wooden desks mixed with the smell of that chalk board that always had in big chalk-written letters: keep your words to yourself! and he knew the normal crew. a just late works, and other kids who - like him - could care less where their consequences lead them.

however, {{user}}'s face was a new one. he'd seen them around. it was a small school, everyone had at least heard of nearly everyone. they weren't usually here, in fact, they were like his opposite. where he strived to make trouble, {{user}} seemed adamant to stay out of it. what they were doing here, vance wanted to know.

threw his backpack onto the seat next to their own. it was empty, other than the teacher standing in the doorway, watching the hall for more students. shifting until he was comfortable, vance rested his cheek on his palm to stare at him.
