Actions taken too far

SOFIE

  I gently walk into the principal's office. No idea why Alec is nagging at my ear saying I barged in. When I got in, the

principal was sitting down playing Candy Crush on his phone. Seriously? "Ahem." I cleared my throat and he still somehow didn't notice we're here. "Earth to Mr Johnson?" I asked in a higher tone than normally appreciated between a principal and a student. Mr Johnson got startled and finally noticed us. I could tell Alec was having a hard time not to laugh. "Ms Waves, Mr Huston. What brings you two here? During class hours at that?" He asked. "Yes, so I have a request." I stated. "And what might that be?" "Kick Northel Hales out of this

school." Mr Johnson and Alec both yelled out in union, "What?" "I said kick Northel Hales out of this school." I repeated. "Sof what the hell, this is nowhere near what we agreed on." Alec said. "Shut up the adults are talking."

"Ms Waves, I heard you, but we need a proper reason as to why we would do that." Mr Johnson said. Fair. "He pushed Alec, Alec's head is bleeding and he got a concussion, good enough reason right? When is he getting kicked out?" I

ask bored. "I'm afraid the highest he'll get is suspension, that is assuming he is proven guilty." Assuming? Excuse me? "Are you implying that I'm lying Mr Johnson?" "Sof-" Alec tried speaking. "Alec, shut up." "Of course not- even if he is guilty, still the highest I can do is suspension." Mr Johnson said tensing up. "Well, Sir, how do you think Maris Huston would feel about his son getting injured and the school doing nothing about it? Or how Lauren Waves would feel knowing

the school didn't listen to his only daughter. The funds might start getting shy you know." Ace laid down. "Sofie, we talked about this." Alec was glaring at me at this point. Okay, maybe shutting him down over and over again was a bad idea. "Just let me handle this, please." I pleaded. "Fine." Alec sighed.

After a long pause, Mr Johnson finally spoke up. "Fine. He'll be out by tomorrow." Mr Johnson sounded defeated. "I'm glad you understood the situation. Much appreciated." I said with a smile. Before I could turn to Alec to tell him we're done here, Alec was already leaving in a fit of rage. I followed behind

him. "Hey, Alec, what's wrong?" I trailed behind him and we left the principal's office. I was walking just behind him, when suddenly he stopped and pulled me to a corner, pinning me onto the wall.
