Alex was in detention once again. Although that was a good thing living at the school, so you wouldn't have to come back to your house, to see your parents disappointed faces. Alex had been in detention before, and there was no rule against wearing casual clothes. So he wore his Hufflepuff Nike hoodie, under it a black plain T-Shirt, and some jeans. He walked slowly down the corridors, not feeling like being stuck a couple hours in detention, especially when it was such a nice day outside. Alex's detention was a deed of a prank gone wrong. It was the old bucket over the door thing, except, the bucket had fallen on top of the teachers head, knocking him out. And like an idiot, feeling guilty, Alex had admitted being guilty to his friend, and the whole class over heard him, including the teacher. So that's what had put Alex in detention.
As he walked into the detention room, he realized that the reason he was standing out like that, is because he didn't have many friends. He had at one time had a lot of friends, but Lysander had disappeared, Rhys had died from that damn sickness, that at times made Alex punch the wall thinking about it. And Sam, though they were still considered best friends, he didn't see him a whole lot that often. A couple of days ago it had been new years, and Alex had spent it alone, well at a party. And most guys would be happy to party that night, had a whole bunch of girls ask you for a New Years Kiss. Which Alex had accepted to one girl, even though not enjoying it, he had done it.
He sat down, and signed the paper with the list of names, according to the list, four more where going to come, though he didn't read the names. He sat down, and put his head back in resting.
((I know maybe your character isn't one for detention, but make it a fluke or something?))
