I quickly made a mental note to not be too happy for the sudden appearance of Tease Mike because no longer after that, he decided to annoy the fuck out of me that I accidentally snapped at him loudly in class. And thanks to him, I earned an hour detention after school.

I tried explaining to Ms. Ruby that it was Mike who made me snap but Ms. Ruby wasn’t buying it although what I was saying was true.

After the class ended, I went straight to the detention room while cursing Mike under my breath. I’ve already promised myself to never ever enter the detention room after the detention I’ve had with Mike but he made me broke my first promise.

Not trying to show that I was actually a very nice person, I never actually break a promise. Okay, I admit there was one time when I promised Blaise that I wouldn’t tell people that he was grounded because his mother caught him watching porn while he was supposed to babysit his sister but I told Val anyway because I thought it was funny and I just can’t keep anything from Val.

But every promise that I’ve made to myself, I will never break it but it only take Mike a couple of seconds and crumpled papers, to make me broke my first promise.

I let out a sigh as I entered the detention room. There were a few people today and the teacher in charge was Mr. Brian (who actually is the coolest teacher I’ve known). I chose the seat next to the window so I could easily daydream to let the time pass. I scanned my surrounding – Mr. Brian was reading a book, he didn’t even bother to look around him to see that there was a girl vandalizing the table – and realized that this detention was better than the other one.

At least no one was going to accuse me rubbing their crotch with my foot! coughMikecough

I took out my black notebook and began to flip on the pages. I’ve written a few notes on the book, just in case I needed to revise. So I did some revision but however, I was interrupted when someone came inside of the room while saying, “Helllllo, my peopleee~”

And oh boy, I really did know whose voice it belonged to.

I looked up to check whether I was right and damn, I was. I could be a clairvoyant or something.

I rolled my eyes, annoyed at his presence but honestly, I was glad that he was here. He was the perfect person to waste your time with and hopefully with him around, an hour could turn into 5 minutes.

Mr. Brian looked up from his book, eyed Mike for a second and then returned back to the book as he said, “Sit down.”

Mike smiled at everybody, saying hello as if this wasn’t a detention room but a room where you socialize with people. I secretly hoped he chose to sit next to me but he didn’t because he sat in front of me.

“Well, hello, gay turtle.”

When will he ever stop calling me that? Gosh, it was starting to get on my nerves!

“Hello, super tall giraffe,” I answered back with no excitement in my face (when actually, my heart felt like it was going to burst).

Mike chuckled, “So now we have nicknames for each other. Nice name though.”

I rolled my eyes, trying to refrain myself from grinning like a fool. Nicknames for each other, that sounds cute, isn’t it? But then again, he might have made a lot of nicknames with Val.

Unknowingly, Mike closed my notebook without me asking him to.

I blinked, wondering why he did that and so I opened my notebook but only to be closed by him again.

“Why did you do that?” I asked.

“Why did YOU do that?” he asked back, smirking. He then answered, “Well, now that I’m here, you don’t have to revise anymore. What’s the use of revising when you’re in detention? That’s no fun.” Hearing his answer, I only rolled my eyes.

“What are you doing here? Why are you on deten – Oh yeah, you practically lives in the detention room.”

Mike let out a scoff and then said, “I don’t have any detention, Turtle.”

“Then, why?” I raised my eyebrow.

“To entertain you, of course,” he answered. I could feel my cheeks were heating up as my eyes widened. I was confused and surprised by his answer at the same time, I was flattered and happy. As I was trying to hide my red face, he was staring at me while smiling. What was he trying to do? Kill me?

But then I realized. Maybe Val was the one who asked him to do all of these. Maybe Val was the one who asked him to take care of me in school.

Maybe it was because of Val.

I straightened my back, let out a fake cough and opened my notebook and said, “You don’t have to. You can tell Val that I could take care of myself,” while pretending to not be pleased that he was here.

“Val? What about Val?” He asked as he raised his eyebrow.

“Yeah, your girlfriend aka my sister,” I said with straight tone as I flipped the pages of my notebook.

He smiled and then he said, “My girlfriend? Val’s not my girlfriend.”

Oh god.
Oh my fucking God.
Only God knows how surprised I was. Only God knows how much I wanted to hug the world. I couldn’t believe my ears. After all these times – I thought they were together? What the hell even. My eyes were so fucking wide. Then it hit me – then if he’s not Val’s boyfriend, why did he always come over to our house?

Mike gave me a smirk, as if he got the reaction he wanted, “Why, you seem so happy. Are you starting to get interested in me?”

I shook my head at the thought of me saying, ‘Yes’, when I really didn’t. “You are her boyfriend, stupid. Then why do you always come over? Don’t you always watch movies with her because you’re her boyfriend?”

“Silly,” Mike chortled as he poked my forehead. “Just because I always hang out with her, it doesn’t mean I’m her boyfriend. Sure, your little sister is a hottie, but we’re just friends.”

I wasn’t sure what to feel anymore. I was happy and very puzzled at the same time. So after all this time, he was just friends with Val? But Val always made it seems like they were going out. The way Val always talks about him – it seemed like they really were going out.

“Friends? Seriously??”
“Yeah.”

“Wow, that’s good then,” the words just slipped out of my mouth – I wasn’t thinking before I said that. I really hoped he didn’t hear it but unfortunately, I was loud.

Mike’s face lit up as he said, “Were you glad that we’re not together? Is it possible that you actually are in love with me??”

Blushing, I immediately said in my defense, “No way, man. I will never be in love with you. My sister likes you and you like her too. Besides, I’m just worried about my little sister being in the hand of a jerk like you, just like any other brothers would.”

“Oh really?” he teased as he wiggled his eyebrows.

“Duh.”

But to be honest, I was more glad that he didn’t belong to anybody.
