The Forbidden Fruit

Chapter 29

“Maria.” He cleared his throat, “Can I talk to your for a minute?”

I packed away my math book and gave an apologetic look at Shane. When we were back in Derrick’s classroom, he motioned for me to sit down. I stayed standing.

“Yes?” I asked, “This is my lunch time.”

“I don’t think you understood this essay.” He raised my essay.

“I think I do.”

“I didn’t mean for you to focus on what you ate for breakfast and what clothes you wore yesterday.”

“Well I had to choose if I wanted Fruit Loops or toast.”

He groaned and rolled his eyes, “Okay, you know what I mean.”

“I’m not re-doing it.” I rolled my eyes.

“Then I’ll have to give you a D.”

I shrugged and walked out of his classroom.

--------------------------------

I was currently washing desks for my detention. Derrick’s tried to talk to me numerous times, but I either shrugged, ignored him, or glared at him. He has yet to take the hint.

“Maria. Listen to me.” My head snapped up and I glared at him.

“What?”

“I’m sorry, okay? I know you’re old enough to make your own decisions.”

“Thank you.”

“So, forgive me?”

“Nope.” I went back to washing my desk.

“Why not?”

“Because, Derrick!” I spat, “Because we always fight.”

“I’ll try really hard not to.”

“It’s just not going to work.”

He groaned, “Just think about it.”

“I’m back!” My Mother shouted, dropping her luggage on the floor.

“Great!” I shouted, unenthusiastic.

“I got you something.” She rubbed her hands together.

She handed me a small picture frame of her, Dave, and Mark. I rolled my eyes.

“Gee. Thanks!”

She engulfed me in a hug and I smelt the beach. I pulled away after a minute and then set the picture down.

“Do you like my tan?” She asked, twirling around.

“Yup.” I nodded.

“Since we had so much fun, Dave and I are going again soon!”

“Yay!” I rolled my eyes.

“He invited you.” She winked.

“Is Creeper Jr. going?”

“No.” She sighed, “He’s going off to some camp or something.”

“Sign me up!” I shouted, finally smiling.

“Great! We’re going back to the Caribbean.”
