meredith's pov

it's monday morning, and even though we had saturday and sunday to sleep, i was still a little tired from friday. my feet still hurt from the heels chantelle let me burrow and i never thought i could wear a skirt so short.

but i mean, i still can't believe that i went to my first ever nightclub, drunk a little alcohol and even stayed the night at four alexander boys' apartment. if someone told me last week that all of that would of happened, i would of thought that they were crazy.

it was a good night...except for that fact that i did something with one of the guys that i really, really regret.

kari and i down at our desks in the math class that we were in together. and also the math class that gilinsky and nate were in too.

"morning" nate said, coming in with jack g. he nodded at me but i avoided his gesture for certain reasons.

"so how did your friday night go?" gilinsky mockingly questioned, sitting up on his desk that was of course, nearby ours.

"if you guys even dare blurt a word of us sneaking out on friday," kari warned them and i agreed with her because if my parents knew that i was even talking to alexander boys, i'd never see daylight again.

"yo, if you get caught, we're gonna go down for this too" nate reminded us.

"let's just not talk about it and hope that no one noticed that we were gone," i suggested and they listened as miss handwell walked in.

"right, settle down class. please turn your textbooks to page 64 because today we're going to be continuing with trigonometry" she called aloud.

a knock at the door interrupted her next sentence and i looked up from my textbook, seeing principal dobson at the door.

"principal dobson, can i help you?" miss handwell questioned.

"ah, yes. please may i burrow kari phillips, meredith cambridge, jack gilinsky and nathan maloley" she announced and i suddenly felt my heart skip an entire beat, and my throat go dry.

the others looked at me, all of us knowing what this was about. but from our seats, we couldn't see chantelle, ava, sammy or johnson, so this could be a good sign...unless they're already at her office.

ugh. i'm so getting expelled today.

principal dobson called meredith, gilinsky, nate and i out of our maths class, and it was basically the walk of shame when the whole class' eyes were on us as we packed up our stuff to leave the room.

she didn't say a word the entire walk to her office, and the rest of us didn't even attempt to. i mean, we're not stupid. we all know why we're here but i just didn't think that we'd get caught so soon.

when we arrived at her office, we saw ava, chantelle, johnson and sammy sitting on the chairs outside.

my eye contact instantly diverted to sammy because this is the first time that i've seen him since whatever we did on friday. he plainly looked at me then looked away as the principal gestured for us all to come in.

we stood in a line in front of her desk, waiting patiently for the telling off to begin.

"do you students know why you're here?" she first asked with that same manly voice, when she sat down in her desk chair.

"no, but i hope that you'll tell us" nate responded.

"of course, nathan maloley, the smart talker. your previous principal told me all about you," she said before opening up a file on a desk. "and also samuel wilkinson, jack johnson and jack gilinsky. the four studrnts responsible for the fire situation,".

"wait, you guys did that?" chantelle asked for us all.

"ok hold up, technically we didn't do it, we were just the ones who came up with the plan and convinced the freshmans to do it" johnson quickly corrected.

"and it wasn't supposed to go as far as burning part of the school down," gilinsky continued.

principal dobson rested her chin on her hand, waiting for us to all be quiet.

"well, back to my first question. perhaps this video will answer it, " she used a remote to press play on a footage that showed on her TV.

it was a black and white security video of us girls climbing over the fence and the boys catching us. we all shook our heads in frustration since no one even thought about security cameras.

once the footage showed all of us over the fence, she used the remote to switch the TV off again.

"miss hamilton, would you care to explain what that video showed you doing? and please pull your skirt down".

chantelle did as she was told before speaking, "um, it's me climbing over the school fence?".

"ok, principal dobson, i'm sorry, i'm sorry that i broke the school rules!" meredith suddenly blurted out. "just please do not expel me, i still want a future, i still—".

"expel you? this was a one time incident, right?" she questioned and the girls and i immediately nodded our heads. the boys could care less to be honest. "so expulsion isn't part of the sanctions. what you are all going to get is a two hour detention,".

"is that it?" i heard sammy chuckle under his breathe, nudging the guys to laugh with him.

"every friday for two months" principal dobson added.

"two months?! i object," ava defended. "you cannot hold us for two hours, every friday after school hours. that must be against the rules somewhere, i will get a lawyer if i freaking have to" she continued to disapprove, but we held her back to avoid bigger trouble. "this is definitely against our human rights".

"six hours, maybe. but two hours after school is not against human rights, so you shall all proceed with this consequence" principal dobson sternly explained to us.

but then again, detentions at salvatore actually aren't that bad because the teacher only really stays for five minutes at the beginning.

"a new teacher assistant will be supervising you at all times and there will be no exceptions" dobson added.

i honestly spoke too soon. we all groaned at her words and she dismissed us from her office. i was sort of expecting more yelling than just simply telling us our consequences, but it's all better than getting expelled.

"this new t.a better be hot," gilinsky said as he sat down on a seat in the hallway.

everyone was sort of pissed that we were being forced to spend two hours of our friday in some detention room for the next two months, so we were all discussing it. or in other words, just talking over one another.

that was until i recieved a text on my phone. the screen read, 'meredith'.

i looked up at her and we exchanged a quick look before i unlocked my phone to read the message:

meredith: you haven't told anyone, right?
me: don't worry babe ;)
meredith: don't call me that. what about chantelle?
me: me and her aren't serious, alright. i'm pretty sure she wants to fool around with other guys in this school.
meredith: yeah, but not with your best friend.

i rolled my eyes and decided not to reply back to the message. chantelle knows that me and her are not serious. i mean, we kiss and have done shit but we're just a phase in each other's lives. plus, what meredith and i did wasn't even that bad.

"hey, can i talk to you?" kari whispered to me. i nodded my head at her and we walked away from everyone else.

"what's up?" i wondered with my hands stuffed into the pockets of my jeans.

"are we cool with the whole friday thing?" she asked me, her eyes squinting a little like she was waiting for bad news to hit her in the face.

"what? when i fingered you" i told her with a smirk, but her eyes widened at my blunt words so i stopped. "...sorry".

"any ways, i'm still trying to figure out what it all meant, so my head is kind of all over the place. i just wanted to make sure that we were still on the same page that we started out on".

"yeah, of course we're on the same page" i scratched the back of my neck with a chuckle.

i knew that i meant what i said, but with seeing her brown eyes in front of me and remembering the passion between us both on friday, i'm not sure if i wanted to mean it.

"good, well i've gotta get to class now so i'll see you later" she pulled her backpack further up her shoulder before turning around to walk away with the girls.
