Senior Year, Biscuits & The Fuentes Family As Told By Nelissa Brown

I never got this many detentions until I became friends with the boys. No, they haven't changed me. They're not bad influences. I just tend to get caught when I'm with them. They're not very good at the whole secrecy thing. They want everyone to know what they're done. I was much more reserved last year.
I showed up for detention wearing my vampire fangs. Mike is bringing his too. I thought it would make detention a little more fun. B said I'm being immature and stupid. But I'm going to college soon. I won't have much longer to run around wearing vampire fangs.
I walked inside my class and waved to my teacher. "You're looking groovy, Miss!" I grinned. "I like your jumper, did you knit it yourself?"
"Sit down, Nelissa." she tried not to laugh. I don't know why detentions must be so serious.
I turned and saw B, Tony, Jaime, Cassie, Mike and Oli sat down. Dom isn't here. She hasn't died. It's just they came to the conclusion that a few days in hospital was punishment enough.
"Hey everyone!" I exclaimed.
"Hi Nel." everyone said in unison.
"Get out your work. I'm just going into the teachers lounge." Miss Levy said. She got her things and left us alone.
"So..." Jaime puffed out.
"Where are you going with this?" Oli snapped.
"Be nice!" I warned.
"Why?" Oli shot back.
"Because if you don't have anything nice to say then you shouldn't say anything at all. You could hurt someone's feelings." I said gently.
"Better start learning sign language, Sykes." Mike mocked.
"Stop." I warned him."
"Okay, okay." Mike rolled his eyes at me.
"What's everyone wearing to graduation?" B asked.
"When is it?" I frowned. Surely it can't be anytime soon. I've lost track of the weeks lately though.
"Is it two weeks or three?" Tony asked.
"How?!" I exclaimed.
"It's three." Cassie confirmed.
"But that means after graduation we have to go to college!' I gasped.
"Well, some of us do." Mike said awkwardly.
"Didn't get in?" Oli said dryly.
"Fuck you!" Mike spat.
"We'll all be okay," I rushed. "We'll see each other every weekend."
"Of course we will." Jaime said easily.
"I mean Jaime and I aren't breaking up." Cassie said.
"Neither are Nel and I." Mike added.
"Same goes for Becky and I." Tony said and B looked at him pointedly.
"We're not together, remember Tony?"
"Just you keep telling yourself that." Mike laughed.
"And B and Cassie and me are best friends. There's no way that'll stop." I said.
"Yeah, just like Jaime, Mike and I will never stop being friends." Tony said.
"Wow, you really are all deluded." Oli said and shook his head.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Mike snapped.
"Oh God, you're worse than Vic." I muttered.
"What about Vic?" Mike asked.
"Nothing." I rushed.
"I can't believe you all!" Oli exclaimed. "You're all impossible! After what Nel told me how do you even work? Your entire friendship with each other is just bizarre!"
"You don't know anything about us!" Mike rushed. "Just because we are friends. We have people we can rely on. What do you have?!"
"More than you!" Oli growled.
Then he stood up, stormed out of the room and down the corridor. Mike got up and kicked his chair back. He ran after Oli and I sighed. I got up and ran out after him. Everyone else followed me. We can't even do detention right. I saw Mike and Oli right up in each other's faces. Then Mike pushed Oli. Right into a storage cupboard. I couldn't see into the cupboard, but I saw Oli's legs fly up into the air.
"Are you finished with your work?!" Miss Levy called. I looked around in panic. She was walking towards us.
"Yeah sure!" B called.
Then before Miss Levy could reach us Jaime pushed Mike right into the storage cupboard with Oli and slammed the door shut.
"Okay, you're free to go." Miss Levy smiled.
She walked past us and went into a classroom. I sighed in relief and looked around at the others. "That was close." I said.
But we heard a knock. "Hello?" Mike asked. He was knocking on the cupboard door.
"Yes?" I asked timidly.
"We're locked in here." Mike said.
Jaime tried opening the door but it wouldn't budge. "This is your fault!" Oli grumbled.
"Me? What did I do?!" Mike snapped.
"You pushed me in here!"
"Jaime pushed me and shut the door!" Mike defended.
Things really can't get any worse. "Is Mike finished? We've got to go and pick up dinner." Oh wait, it can. Vic came over to stand next to me and looked around. "Where is he?"
"Um where's Mike? Has anyone seen him?" I tried.
"You know what, no wonder Vic hates you!" Mike yelled.
"What the- Nel, what's going on?" Vic demanded.
"Well, you see Oli was making Mike mad and he ran out. But Mike pushed him into a store cupboard. Then Jaime pushed Mike inside and now they're locked inside." I explained.
"How are you all even still breathing? Can you even go a day without getting into some ridiculous, impossible situation?" Vic sighed and shook his head. Vic went forward be tried pulling the door open. Nothing. Tony tried. So did Jaime again. Even B did. But nothing.
"Why does she even like you?!" Oli growled.
"Because I'm better than you!" Mike snapped.
"Really? Says who? She'll go to college and forget all about you!"
"Oli, shut up!" Vic snapped.
"After everything how can you tell me to shut up?!" he demanded. "You've been pining after Nel ever since you broke up."
"I mean it." Vic threatened dangerously.
"You know Vic is the reason you only just got with Nel. All of his back log let you get yourself blackmailed by Dom. Let you hurt everyone."
"But-" Mike tried.
"Don't tell me you don't know? Fucking hell!"
"What don't I know?!" he asked angrily.
"Oli, please!" I yelled.
"Dom found out Vic cut himself so you went out with her to shut her up! She wasn't a stalker. You hurt everyone just to protect someone who'd plot against you if they could just get your wannabe girlfriend. Was it worth it?" Oli rushed.
"You're just jealous of me!" Mike screamed. In a manly way obviously.
"Yeah, so what? Of course I'm jealous! Have you seen Nel? Vic is jealous. That's not the point." Oli laughed humourlessly.
I was listening out to hear Mike say something. But he never. Everything was dead quiet. Then finally I heard him. "Open this damn door." Mike said tightly before he banged it hard.

Notes

Hey everyone! I hope you're all okay. We're starting the countdown - only four more chapters left! What will happen? Will they get out? Being trapped inside small spaces seems to be a theme in this story. What will Mike do? Has Oli ruined everything? How do you want this story to end? Favourite line?

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who participated in my contest. I'm planning another that would start in November. So if you'd like to automatically messaged with the details when it's launched please message me on here or tumblr or comment and I can arrange that. I won't be announcing the theme yet but it will be different from Septembers one. I'm thinking about prizes and I really need your help on it. What would you like the prizes to be? I can of course do jewellery. But I've been thinking about doing band merch and other things. Would you rather have something small with free shipping or something bigger with more goodies but a small shipping cost (I'm talking maybe £5-£10)? Let me know which you'd prefer. I want the prizes to be things people actually want to win!

Be sure to read my next note! Have a wonderful day! xo
