Braxton was still in tears at the point Drew let him go. His head was still hurting and there really was no way he wanted to pick up a sponge and start scrubbing right away. No he wanted to sit down for a minute with the icepack tucked nicely underneath his head and that's just what he would do. Walking over to the icepack he grabbed it and took it over to one of the clean corners and sat down with it. Placing the iceback on the back of his head as he stared down at the floor. He didn't care what the older kids were doing, only looking up every so often when he heard a snip it of their conversation.

Why was Drew not surprised? Was Felicity going to be one of those girls who pouted just because she didn't get what she wanted? No, he really didn't think so, but it was starting to feel like his feelings didn't matter. He was expected to scrub half the armoury, babysit firsties, break up sponge fights, deal with tempermental girls, and still smile about it on demand? How is that even possible?
Of course Braxton was sitting out. Drew was surprised the first year had lasted as long as he did. The older boy had honestly expected the kid to pout and sit out as soon as he realized Trixie wasn't working. With that in mind, Drew didn't say anything about the little guy taking a break and nursing his head.
He looked up and saw there wasn't much left to do, but now with Brax out of the picture, they'd still be there for a while.

Maybe Norbrook had used Ms. because he thought Felicity was showing her age a bit more than the others? It looked to him as if she had lived a hard life, but maybe it was just the light playing on her face and how tired she might have been at that night. Or maybe it was the five a clock shadow that he thought he might have seen, or was he just imagining it? Maybe he should call her mister hjort?
As he continued to hold the door open for Trixi to enter he wondered if he was being to hard on the girl and thought that maybe he should give her one more chance to finish out the detention with the other kids. That way she wouldn't have to make it up or anything. She also wouldn't feel as alienated from the group.

As soon as the man had reached his office door and allowed Trixi entre she stopped. She would not go in there. There was no way. There was also no way she would be able to way from him, esepcially considering the tight grip the man had upon her small shoulder. However the mans grip may have been firm upon the small girls shoulder however he would have to be a muscle man to have held his with her next action. Trixi who was basically rooted to the spot suddenly dropped down and sat on her butt. "No" the small girl aid stoubournly. There was no way she would move willingly into a small room with the man. If she went in there there was no way she could escape.

Norbrook's grip on Trixi's shoulder became none existant as Trixi set down. Well if that was where she wanted to sit he had no problem with that. They might look a little silly sitting out in the hall like that, but it really didn't phase him one bit. He would be happy to sort this thing out where ever, and if she didn't feel comfortable coming into his office then he certainly wasn't going to make her.
"Alright we can sit out here," he said with a smile as he sat down on the floor next to the small girl, but still leaning up agains the wall for support. "So do you want to tell me what happened in there so that I get your side? Or should we just sit here and observe any passerbys?"

Celina watched as her friend came back over to where she was. Had her giggling caused that much of an argument? Celina wouldn't doubt it with the way Drew had glared at her. She definitely shot her head back the way it was when her Prefect did that. He was the authority figure in the room still, after all. Though, Celina wasn't sure if that were one hundred percent true as they were all serving the detention, she didn't want to take her chances.
Felicity sat next to her and pouted a bit, and Celina all of a sudden was very glad that it was Felicity who had liked the older Raven and not her. Boys were too much of a hassle to be anything more than just friends. Who wanted the added pressure of one more thing to make sure you pay attention to or don't (depending on the boy's mood) during the day? Celina knew that she had her hands full with just trying to be friends with those she was friends to, adding anything else on to that was just crazy.
"I'm sorry..." Celina whispered to Felicity. "I only heard bits and pieces of what you said to him....and I put them together wrong in my head, I'm sure. It made me giggle a bit." Celina finished the suit she was working on and looked around the room. "I'm finished...does that mean we're done?"

Braxton looked up as Celina asked if they were done. Did that mean over all or just the girls half was done? Judging by the look of the room it was definitely the latter. Well that certainly wasn't cool. How did they beat him and Drew? Especially with Trixi on their side. Did they fix and polish the one that she had broken, or was that on the boys side too? Knowing them they were probably claiming it to be on their side. Yep, it seemed like him and Drew were getting the majority of the suits. Well to him it did anyways.
His head was still aching slightly but he felt bad leaving Drew to finish off the rest of the suits without him. They were a team after all, that was if Drew wasn't mad at him over the whole Trixi thing. After all he had looked a little pissed when he was holding him by the collar.
Walking over to where he was scrubbing Brax picked up a sponge and got ready to help Drew out with the rest of the suits. "I think they had less suits on their side." he stated plainly looking over at the girls.

Trixi didn't want to go into the man's office the whole idea was scary. She's going to get in big trouble. She knew it and shewould b blamed for everything and big head Braxton would get off scot free. Figures. However the mans first words surprised her, he wasn't going to force her into the room. That was a shock to Trixi and it showed on her small face. However her expression had been showing shock before his next statement it definately showed shock after it. He wans't even going to force her to tell him her side, instead he seemed complacent to sit and laugh at other people. Sure Trixi didn't realise when he said watch passers by that he probably just meant watch them rather then hassel them. The girl had a feeling this might all be a trick, the feeling increasing with seeing him sit on the floor too. She did have the idea that now it would take him time to get up too. Perhaps she would be able to run. Howevr she was not going to make things easy for the man. She didn't want to do anything with the man. "No" she resonded stobbournely, her arms crossed and her blue eyes stairing at a grubby patch on the wall opoosite her and the man, refusing to look at him. With any luck he'd look to where she was giving her a moment to try and run.

If she didn't want to tell him her side that was fine with him, but he would have to report it to Marvin the way he saw it. If he had both sides of the story maybe he would be more willing to leave it be, and to just say that for the most part she did pretty well in the detention, but the choice was hers. She was the only one that could decide if she wanted to take to him or not. "That's fine," Norbrook said with a small smile. "We can just sit here for awhile and if you feel like it later on I am more than willing to hear, but you do realize as it stands now I will have to tell Marvin what I saw. After all it was his detention that you were throwing punches in." He wasn't being mean, on the contrary his voice was actually surprisingly pleasant and conversational.

"Tell the creepy man! I don't care!" Trixi declaired definatly to the other man. So he was going to dob her into the other one who would then try and get her opinion too. It wasn't like the could lock her in one of those rooms on her own and force her to lean, she wouldn't do it and they couldn't keep her there forever. "You'll just listen to bigheads side anyway!" Trixi said glaring. She had just found a new name for him. Bighead Braxton. She would definately be telling him that if she ever saw him again. As soon as she got away from here she would b e trying to leave and go home. She wanted Brett. the tears tracd down her face silently but she didn't say anything more to the man. She was not going to tell him anything if all he could do was threaten her with the ugly professor.

"Well that's not my place really, but you can surely pass that information on to him when you see him next if you would like," Norbrook said still as pleasant as could be. He wasn't about to tell Marvin anything like that. No he would just be telling him his general opinion of what went on, and well that wasn't really much considering the older kids just lied, and the younger one was to clouded to see that all he wanted to know was what happened. He wasn't trying to get her into more trouble, if anything he was trying to get her out of it, well in less of it.
"I am not sure who bighead is, but I can assure you I will listen to each side separately. That way everyone gets a say." Norbrook continued with a small smile over in her direction.

Drew wasn't ignoring Braxton, but he didn't feel the need to comment. The older boy knew the halves had been equal and that in itself had been the problem. They were two and he had been one and a Littledude. Of course they had finished first.
It didn't matter. All he wanted was for this to be all over. So he scrubbed. And scrubbed. And scrubbed some more. There wasn't much he could do at this point other than scrubbing and hope that they'd be finished quickly.

"That's all right Celina, some people obviously just don't care," she replied. No, she wasn't saying necessarily that Drew didn't care, but he hadn't had to glare at Celina for laughing. What if she'd been thinking of something that made her laugh, he didn't know she'd been laughing at them.
"No, I don't think that means we're done. I mean, we did do our side, but I think we should probably at least make ourselves useful and do a bit more, because I don't think either Professor would take kindly to us just sitting here like a couple of lumps." With that being said, she grabbed up a towel and waited for Celina before going over to the smaller suits. They could still use a wipe down, and after that, they should probably help the boys finish so they all could get out of there and quickly.

Celina sighed heavily. She was tired, her hands were so pruned they hurt, and she really could have cared less who cared and who didn't give a rat's.....she just wanted to be done and as far as the night was going, Celina yet again started to rethink what the word 'worth' really meant when it came to friends. Maybe this all wasn't really worth it? Sure, Drew had stuck up for her once tonight....but it did indirectly save himself as well. Was it only for himself? Celina rubbed her eyes as she walked over to one of the suit's that was not even touched really, and started to scrub again thinking deeply.
What did 'worth' really mean? "Hey, Felicity.....what does it mean when somebody is worth something? Like how do you know when a friendship is worth it?" Celina didn't know if her friend had the answer, and she didn't think about how her friend would take her question. At the moment, she was too tired to care, and too tired to worry about anything but finding the answers to questions her brother had ultimately given her.
