"Don't apologise. You didn't do anything." I touched her shoulder lightly and could feel the tension in her body disappear. Wow, she really cared. Did she actually think I was angry?
                              
"That's just it! I didn't do anything. It's okay to be angry at me" She bit her lower lip. Was she always this hard on herself?
                              
I sighed.
                              
"Kate Kate Kate. Why should I be angry at you for something your friend did? That doesn't seem logical." I looked at her like a parent punishing its kid and she cracked a little smile.
                              
Then she snorted. "Right, friend. She's mad at me because I refuse to shun you or something and you aren't even mad at me for being friends with Miss Graffiti. I think you're the real friend here. Tasha and I haven't been friends for a while" Always the drama with those populars.
                              
I was flattered though that she'd called me the real friend. Even though we don't talk that often I still consider her as one of my closest friends. I didn't think she'd feel the same because she has so many girl friends.
                              
It didn't sit well with me that their friendship was rocky because of me. But then again, it didn't seem like a steady friendship to begin with.
                              
"Thanks" I said uncomfortably. I never really know how to react when people say heartfelt things. Or just nice things in general.
                              
"So what's the deal between you two anyway? Here I was, thinking Tash and you were besties." I was probably the only one she could talk to about this kind of stuff since all of her friends were populars. I guess it's hard not really knowing where the loyalties lie.
                              
Kate rolled her eyes. "It's ridiculous. She thinks I want to be queen bee and she's threatened. Like I have any interest in that."
                              
Yawn. Wow, really. It's like they live in another world.
                              
"She's a walking cliche alright" I shrugged. I should go home anyway. Kate snorted.
                              
"Yeah, so thanks for putting her in her place" She gave me a grin. So there was an evil side to Kate. Interesting.
                              
"Anytime sis, anytime" I winked at her.
                              
Someone poked my cheek with a pencil. It was Code. When I looked around I noticed everyone was leaving. I guess I was thinking a little too long about this week.
                              
"Back to reality?" Code looked amused. Whatever.
                              
Then I realised something. It was weekend! We'd survived our first week of detention, three more to go.
                              
"Weekend!" I squeeled. That caused Code to laugh at me. Yeah, I'm not sure he was laughing with me so I'm just gonna go with at me.
                              
I got up a little too fast and almost kissed the floor. Not on purpose you idiot. When I get up too fast I tend to get dizzy. Luckily Code held my shoulders so I wouldn't fall.
                              
"Just saved your life" Code looked smug. I snorted. Kissing the floor doesn't cause a lot of deaths. I think.
                              
"I would've just fallen on my ass and you would've gotten a good laugh. You didn't really save my life" I shook my head and started walking to my locker that was sporting a nice sloth picture.
                              
"You could've hit your face on the desk causing internal bleeding or a skull fracture. Being the little sissy you are you probably would've died." I slapped him playfully. Rude.
                              
Although those were some big words for Code and that on a Friday evening. Not bad.
                              
"Have you been watching Final Destination?" I raised an eyebrow and he smiled sheepishly. I'll take that as a yes.
