Steff had been in her math class when she got up to leave, even though it wasn't time to leave. She knew she wasn't supposed to do that but she was used to being home-schooled and doing her work when she felt like it and right now she had an idea for a song and wanted to go somewhere peaceful to write it down. Unfortunately Steff's math teacher didn't think the same way and sent her to detention. After a very loud argument, she walked into the detention room and sat down until the teacher left, then she stood up and starting pacing. "I didn't do anything wrong." She said to herself "I was just thinking more of my creative side then my intellectual side..." She picked up her notebook and a pencil on her way back past the table and she was singing to herself as she wrote the words down. Steff thought about how she missed her studio at her old house but she knew that she'd have to get used to it. Had someone been counting her steps they would have counted 6 steps both ways.

Mark noticed the girl walking into the room, and counted the amount of steps she took, and smiled a bit before going back to drawing. He was in detention for simply telling the Teacher to fuck off and leave him alone. Something he did nearly all the time. It's why he was in therapy, that and...he just needed some fucked up excuse to get him out of class. He never really spoke to anyone, in fact, normally, he would've waited for her to speak first. But somehow, he knew he could trust her, so he spoke...quietly. "First time in Detention?" He asked her, leaning back in his chair.

Steff jumped slightly, she hadn't realized anyone else was there. She turned to look at him. "Yes, I used to be home-schooled." She explained, stuffing her notebook in her bag. Steff doesn't usually let people hear her writing songs and she was still surprised she hadn't seen him before. "I'm Steff" She said, and finally stopped pacing.

Mark nodded and leaned even further back in his chair. "I'm Mark." He said with a slight smile. "You used to be Home Schooled huh? I wouldn't like to be Home Schooled. I like being as far from that fucking house as possible." Mark said with a hint of hatred & Anger showing in his voice.

Steff nodded "Being home schooled wasn't that great except I could do the work whenever I felt like it and I didn't have to ask to do anything." She unconciously started pacing again, 6 steps both ways. "I don't like being at my house much when my father is there and my mother never was there so that didn't matter..." A look of hollow sadness crossed Steff's blue-green eyes.

Mark's look turned slightly to anger and then sadness as he realised she's going through the same thing he is. "Your father hurts you to?" He quietly asked her, lifting up his sleeve on his right arm to show a scar near his elbow. "He stabbed me with a pocket knife when I was 9 because I wouldn't look at him when he was drunkingly yelling at me." He said, fighting back a tear as he lifted his shirt to reveal a ciggerate burn on his stomach. "When I was 10 he wanted me to get the fuck away from the TV so he took his ciggerate and...well...it hurt like fucking hell. I've got tons of scars." He said with an upset look. "It's why I'm so fucked in the head." He admitted. "Why I like being alone and very rarely talk to anyone, let alone adults & Teachers. You're like, the first one I talked to openly." He said, forcing a smile. He could relate to this girl, and he somehow liked her for that.

Steff smiled, she wasn't entirly ready to admit her insanity. "Demitri is a good person...but once Lauren died things started going downhill..." She referred to her parents by their names because she considered them nothing more then forced company because they shared DNA. Steff ran a hand though her hair and pulled it to the side, then let it fall back into place. She hasn't really told anyone about her mother dieing and she couldn't figure why she trusted this boy she just met enough to tell him.

Mark nodded. "My Father was fine untill my Mum died to. After she died, he went crazy and...well...hurt me." Mark admitted.

Steff nodded slowly. She started pacing slightly faster, still 6 steps. Quietly, she started singing. The words were almost inaudible. She wasn't exactly sure what to say, her and Mark were similar in quite a few ways it seemed, and she didn't know what to think about that. Steff decided she liked Mark, he was easy to talk to.

Mark sighed, standing up and pacing himself. He liked this girl, they where alike in so many ways. "I'm Mark." He introduced himself.

Steff stopped singing and smiled. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Mark." She had automatically replied with the greeting that had been drilled into her head by her mother since she was little.

Mark smiled. "The pleasure is all mine miss." Mark said, not even knowing he was being polite. He sighed and shook her hand slightly before looking at the door. "So, we should scram. I mean, ditch detention." He smiled.

Steff shrugged "It doesn't seem anyone would notice so why not. And if they do notice then we just get more detention and skip it again. then it will just be one huge vicious circle of us skipping detentions and just getting more and more until finally they strap us down to chairs so we cant get out..." She was completely rambling and just kept talking, and talking and talking...

"They'll have to catch me before they strap me down." Mark laughed, making his way to the door. "And even then I'll get out...and they'll catch us again...And I'll manage to escape...and it'll be an endless cycle." He said, rambling on as well.

Steff nodded and started towards the door. "An endless cycle of running, catching, escaping and getting caught again." She walked out the door and look around the hallway. "So where to?"
