"Why'd I get detention?!" A voice shrieked from inside the building.
"Because Mr. Kent still thinks you don't speak English!" Another shout replied--this was Brett. The first voice must be Diana, then--the girl who sat in the back of her math class making animal noises and answering any questions in what Alana believed may have been either Russian or German. Or both.
Diana Terrível--local queen of mischief and style.

Location: Kasey K-12 School for the Gifted, Kihiro City, California, United States
Time: Friday, October 25th, 3:15 PM
The detention slip told Ken he had to be in a 'Mrs. Ginny''s room at 3:10. However, it had taken him ten minutes after the bell rang just to find Mrs. Ginny's room, let alone get his things into his locker. There was no sort of room number on the paper, and the man he'd asked had pointed him in the entirely wrong direction. Turns out that man was Mrs. Ginny's substitute. He didn't even seem sorry.
He walked in to see his friends already in there, trying to hide their laughter. In there with them was the boy who had been bullying Alana a few weeks ago, and a girl he’d seen skipping down the hall singing a handful of times. The girl wasn’t subtle at all, and straight-up pointed his way and let out a cackle.
“Nice hair, dweeb,” she said, still snickering. Ken couldn’t help but sigh, even as he sent her a glare and took a seat near his friends.
A few moments later, the curly-haired substitute closed the door and moved to lean on the desk. He was tall--very tall. Taller than Alana--which was unbelievably rare, now that Maddi thought about it. Hell, this guy had to duck to get back inside.
“Greetings, future juvenile delinquents,” he began.
“Hello,” the girl greeted with a grin, leaning back in her chair. The sub laughed a bit before he continued.
“I’m Mr. Peters. I don’t care if you guys stay quiet or whatever it is kids do in detention now, but I’m supposed to tell you to be quiet and do all that stuff anyways. I’m off to the teacher’s lounge. Don’t leave the room, don’t kill anybody, see you guys later.”
“No promises,”
Everyone made sure to scoot as far away from the animal noise girl as possible.
“As I’ve already said, I don’t really care. I’m out.” at that, Mr. Peters walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. ‘Madame Mimicry’ stood and made her way to the window, watching a bit. Brett sent her a look.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Watching Mr. Peters drive away on a motorcycle with his boyfriend.” everyone rushed to the window to see that she was telling the truth--Mr. Peters was noticeably not in the teacher’s lounge as he rode away on the back of a motorcycle, being driven by another man his age.
“How do you know that’s his boyfriend?” Brian asked.
“He gushes about him sometimes when he subs my classes.”
“Well then,” Ken said, watching as the two turned a corner and vanished from view.
“I mean, they could at least wear helmets. They might crash, and then they’d get comas.” Maddi said.
“Or die,” the animal noise girl added. Maddi nodded.
“That too,”
“So now what do we do?” Brett asked.
“...guess we just talk to each other?” Alana said with a shrug. Brett just scoffed, flipping hair out of his face.
“And why would I want to talk to you?”
“Because if you don’t I’ll snap your fucking neck,” animal noise girl and Maddi said at the same time. They sent each other a look before low-fiving each other.
Everyone made sure to stay as far away from those two as possible.
“...let’s start with names, then, since we’re apparently being forced to talk to each other. Not like I know who any of you are--except maybe you,” Brett sent Alana a look. “And not even your actual name. Unless your birth certificate says ‘Glasses Dork.’”
“My birth certificate says Alana,” Alana tucked her arms into her jacket.
“Huh. Okay,”
“Hey, our names rhyme!” animal girl said with a grin.
“Oh, really? What’s your name?” Alana asked, shifting in her seat.
“Diana! Diana Terrível! And the ‘I’ on my last name has a really cool accent on it.”
“Oh, cool!”
“I’m Ken Shinigami,” Ken almost bowed, but then stopped himself. Apparently bowing was weird. Apparently all the formalities his father had taught him were strange here… what else was?
Apparently, his last name.
“Hello there, Ken Demon.” Diana grinned again. Oh right, that. Ken rose an eyebrow and Diana just burst out laughing, Brett following quickly after.
“Demons aside, I’m Taylor. Wakes, since we’re doing last names.” Taylor offered a short wave. The group of students began shifting their desks closer together, sitting on them to talk. Ken sat in the chair the same way they had to during school, instead of taking advantage of their ‘freedom.’ What a dweeb.
“I’m Cujo Smithson, but everyone calls me CJ.” CJ said with a grin.
There was a moment of silence as everyone wondered who was going to go next. CJ nudged Brian so hard he nearly fell off his desk. The boy fumbled with his tablet for a moment before shoving CJ in return.
“Brian Hodges,” he said, sending a glare his friend’s way.
“I’m Maddi,” Maddi said with a shrug. Ken sat up a bit in his seat.
“Hey, Maddi, I just realized you’ve never told me your last name,” he said. Maddi’s hands curled into fists.
“There’s a reason for that,”
“What is it?”
“Don’t use it.”
“Well, why not?”
“Don’t ask,” Alana said, nudging him in the shoulder and sending him a look that said he’d better not ask. Needless to say, Ken didn’t ask.
“...well, I’m Brett Mage.” Brett said with a sigh.
“So what are you all here for?” Diana asked.
“Skipping,” Maddi said. Her friends all nodded in agreement.
“I skipped detention,” Brett shrugged. Alana’s eyes grew wide.
“You skipped detention?!” she asked.
“Yup.”
“What were you originally here for?” Maddi asked. She scarcely noticed Brian’s grin--it was clear he knew something.
“Talking back to the teacher,”
“What’d you say so bad that you got detention?” Taylor quirked an eyebrow. Brian let out a snort and covered his mouth.
Brett slammed his hands on the desk. “I was being smarter than the goddamn teacher, that’s what! He was being all like ‘everyone open Internet Explorer and go to this website’ and I said ‘Why do we have to use Internet Explorer, that program sucks, can’t we use Chrome? They’re all way faster’ and he’s all ‘because I’m the teacher you do what I say, I’m Mr. Gardner and I hate smart children bleh bleh bleh’ and I said ‘I refuse to use Internet Explorer, at least let us use Firefox, goddammit’ and then he handed me a referral for cursing in class.”
Diana started laughing uncontrollably.
“I remember that! Wasn’t that also for playing Overwatch during his presentation on applying animations to PowerPoints?” Brian asked. Brett just seemed even more exasperated.
“I was told that we were going to learn how to design websites and program video games and stuff, but no! We’re just learning stuff that any third grader could figure out! Hell, he does everything the long way, I’m smarter than the damn teacher, what the fuck?!”
“Wait,” Diana gave him a puzzled look. “Are most people not smarter than the teacher?”
“We aren’t supposed to be. Doesn’t tend to happen that way, though.”
“I can’t believe he’s spent two entire months teaching us how to use Microsoft Word?” Brian said. This elicited a groan from Brett, a full-blown, head-tipped-back groan. Diana looked completely lost. Taylor gave her a pat on the shoulder.
“Right?! I mean, doesn’t he know that everyone uses Google Docs now?! It’s way better than anything else on the market, and it's free!”
“Actually, I think Shinigami Docs is better than Google Docs,” Ken stated.
“But you have to pay for it! And that doesn’t even mention…”
This began a three-way techno dork-off. Alana decided that Brett was not only the biggest dork she’d ever met in her entire life so far, but was also rivaling Brianna Jones for the title of Biggest Drama Queen in the Entire School. No wonder they were dating.
“Wait. You never said what you did to get in here?” Alana said suddenly, looking at Diana. She was greeted with a positively wicked grin.
“I put someone in the hospital,” she stated. The room grew quiet.
Everyone made sure to scoot as far away from her as possible. Except, this time, for Brett.
“Liar!” he called, pointing at her. “You are a dirty liar! Ha!” he turned to address the rest of the room. “She’s in here because she keeps meowing and shit in math class, answering questions in basically every language except English.”
“Actually, that’s just what they caught me for.” Ken felt a shudder go down his spine when she smiled again. Her teeth looked like fangs.
Brett scooted away too.
