Learn To Control

Chapter02: Fire.

Noah POV:

We sat in detention silently, all of us still have batter on our clothes as mark of the battle we just went through. The tension was thick it could have been cut with a knife, only we were no longer in cooking class, thus, knives were not reachable at the moment. If they were, we would have aimed them on each other I am sure. The situation is not very good for us, it shall have it's consequences, but sitting there in detention, I was trying very hard not to burst out laughing, I thought it was a very comic situation.

Mr. Klayton, an English teacher was watching us. He was only in his late twenties, yet you could see grey hairs in his dark hair. His brown eyes looked tired, his square jaw was shaved and his blue shirtsleeves were rolled up to his elbow, revealing muscular looking arms.

"So," he started, " how does one end up in a cake batter fight?"

We all stared at him for a while, not knowing exactly how to answer.

" You know the fight is on the net, right?" He stated.

"What?" Alison screamed. She put her head in her hands. "My life is over!"

"What's wrong Alison?" Diane said with pitched voice. " Aren't you happy? You're gonna be famous!"

"Diane!" Faith screamed at her.

"Haven't you done enough?" Luka spoke. "It's your fault that we're in here."

"My fault?" Diane said defensively. "It's your little barbie girlfriend's fault!"

"Don't. Call me. That." Alison said given her a death glare.

Diane just smirked at her. "Barbie girlfriend, barbie girlfriend..." She kept repeating the phrase.

By this point, Alison looked like a cartoon character, with steam coming out of her ears and red face.
She kept her eyes narrowed at her.

Suddenly, a fire erupted on Diane's desk. We all jumped from our desks, surprised by this event. Mr.Klayton pulled a fire extinguisher from god knows where and put out the fire. He sighs.

"I thing you guys should home now." He told us. We all stared at him for a second or two, not completely processing what just happened. Then Luka moved to take his bag, we all followed him, then we left the class.

"I'll give you guys a ride." Diane suggested turning to me and Faith.

"Sure." I said.

Outside, the sun just started to hide behind the mountains in the horizon. This sunset coloured the sky with beautiful orange and pink colors, it was really a seen worthy of a painting.

We got to Diane's car, a dark blue Honda Accord LX sidane. I jumped into the back seat and let Faith get shotgun. She just started the car when we saw Alison and Luka leave in his Hyundai Sonata. Alison's car broke down a while ago, so he's been driving her. We left the parking lot. We drove a while in the empty streets of Fortune Forest, and it didn't take long for someone to say something.

"Anybody want to talk about what happened?" Diane said.

"What is there to talk about?" Faith said, looking out the window.

"The fact that a fire erupted out of no where on my desk." Diane screamed.

I sigh not knowing what to say. What happened was unexplainable, I don't see what could have started the fire. I looked at Diane, her hands were on a tight grip around the steering wheel, her beautiful blue eyes were focused on the deserted road ahead, I had a feeling that she was holding back something.
