It sounds like The Breakfast Club - I think there was the book as well as the movie.

[Ayshe]

It Wasn't Me maybe?

My thoughts exactly! Only it's gotta be too old, now: The Breakfast Club

That's what I was thinking. It was a total knock off of the Breakfast Club.

Breakfast Club was also the basic idea for
One of Us Is Lying

Even if it is not your book (imho this is a popular trope), I really liked it and the following book, so from me that is highly recommended, 5*.

Yes! It Wasn’t Me! I read that book a couple of years ago.

I stumbled upon The Breakfast Museum, which was also so highly derivative of The Breakfast Club, that I thought I should mention it. Not sure how likely it is, but it belongs in this thread... ;)

Free the Conroy Seven? It's older, though. And (as you can probably tell by the title), there are seven students, not six.

(Also now that I'm thinking about it, they're not actually in detention, they're all called to the principal's office and made to stay there together for most of the school day. But the feel is similar.)
