Carmen walked into Bette’s classroom and went straight to her seat up the back of the class and sat down. Jess walked in the door 5 minutes later.
“Oh come on we can’t be the only two people who got detention today!” Jess said
“You aren’t but everyone else got a pardon, today in detention were going to allow talking, can I trust you both not to kill each other whilst I run down to the office” Bette said leaving the classroom
Jess walked over to a seat next to the window, She sat down and put her head down on the desk.
“8 weeks and you have nothing to say?” Carmen said eventually breaking the silence
“What do you want me to say Carmen?” Jess asked
“How about sorry?”
“I’ve said sorry till I’m blue in the bloody face, I’ve took crap of your psychotic ex all day in which she made a really lame comment to which you stood with your mouth shut. so I guess I’m going to take a leaf out your book and keep my flipping mouth shut!” Jess snapped putting her head back on the desk
Bette returned 20 minutes later the girls were still in silence, Carmen was doing some work she had to do and Jess had her head on the desk staring into space.
“Girls you need to talk!” Bette said sitting down
The girls both ignored Bette’s attempt to get them to communicate.
“This is ridiculous guys!”
“No what’s ridiculous is breaking up with your girlfriend because you were told to, that’s ridiculous!” Carmen snapped
Jess lifted her head as she leaning into her bag taking out her iPod she turned it on putting her headphones in and then rested her head back on the table.
Carmen looked at her and then shook her head going back to her work. Bette sighed turning on her laptop.
30 minutes later Bette looked up “Ok Carmen you can go”
Carmen packed up her stuff and left the classroom.
Bette walked over to Jess pulling out her headphones and gently shaking her.
“Jess let’s get you home”

The car ride home was silent Jess stared out the window and Bette just left her in thought. They parked into the drive and Jess got out the car going into the house and straight up to her bedroom.
Tina and Lisa watched her and then turned to Bette when she came in.
“Why did she get detention?” Lisa asked
“Miss braidy and I actual thought they would talk how wrong we were, Carmen made a remark and Jess put her headphones in and went to sleep!” Bette said looking at Tina with a worried look.
Lisa got up walking up the stairs. She walked into Jess’s room lying beside her sister.
“You okay?”
“Nope” Jess said “I don’t know what to do Lis”
“Babe don’t give up” Lisa said “You’re better than that”
“I don’t get why I should feel so guilty for chasing my dream, I explained to her before I went I didn’t want to break up with her but I had too temporary and I said we’d still be friends”
“She’s just hurting Jess and yeah friends with someone you’re in love with that never works”
“I’m going to end up killing Lindsay, I’m telling you!” Jess stated
“That’s exactly what she wants”
“Fucking detention, they can go to hell if they think I’m playing that game all week!” Jess snapped
“As if you went to sleep!” Lisa laughed
“Lisa I’m so tired, my foot hurts, my head is sore the last thing I need is people playing games with me” Jess said
“Everyone is worried about you” Lisa sighed
“No reason to be, I’m fine” Jess stated
“Yes that’s a lie if I’ve ever heard one!” Lisa smirked
“Can you go get my pain killers out my bag please”
“Where is it?”
“Mama’s car” Jess explained
Lisa left the room going downstairs “Mama where’s your car keys?”
“Why?”
“Jess needs her pain killers and her bag is in your car” Lisa said
“I’ll get them, you go do your homework please”
“Ok” Lisa said “Jess isn’t okay by the way”
“I know” Bette said “I’ll speak to her”
