Chapter 16

~ Karlie ~

-          Honestly Karlie I thought more of you., Principal Moore said shaking his head.

-          You expect me to sit around and get hit? It was self-defense. Self-defense is not murder or what so ever., I said looking out his window.

-          My secretary has been trying to get in touch with your father. Is he working?

-          Nope! Well he is working. He has a business conference all weekend and can’t be contacted., I said looking at him.

-          Well tell me did you have anything to do with this incident?, the principal asked as he sat at his desk.

-          Let me ask you this. Do you think I had something to do with this Sir?, I asked still looking at him.

-          Karlie, don’t cause any more trouble for yourself.

-          What’s going to happen? Suspension? Expulsion? What?, I asked.

-          Honestly? Two weeks. No matter what two weeks. Natasha has worse consequences and Angela is a week., he said looking at me.

-          That’s all? When does it start?

-          Monday morning.

-          Well can I go? Since I know I have been a bad girl. But I got work to round up., I said as I stood up.

-          Sit down because I’m not done., he said looking at me.

-          Yes sir!, I said getting mad.

-          Karlie, this may damage your chances at getting into Harvard…

-          What?, I asked looking at him.

-          I know you’re a bright girl and I looked up your choices for next year., he admitted.

-          I don’t believe you! Honestly you can stick your Harvard up your ass!, I said shaking my head.

-          Karlie!, principal Moore said in shock.

-          I don’t want it if they can’t accept me for who I am! Is that all now?

-          Go! And on your way out get Angela to come in., he said in defeat.

-          Buffy he will see you now., I said sarcastically as I walked out of his office.

-          What happened?, she asked me.

-          Suspension., I laughed.

-          That all?, she asked.

-          Yup! Other than he is a sneak and looked up my university applications., I said looking at her.

-          Fun huh?, Buffy asked realizing I was mad.

-          A ripper! I gotta go to class, so I will speak to you at lunch.

-          Bye!, Buffy said before walking into the office.

* In Lunchtime *

-          Karlie where have you been?, Ryan asked me as he caught up with me.

-          In the office., I said looking at him.

-          What happened?, he asked looking at me.

-          I am suspended starting from Monday., I said putting my sunglasses on.

-          You’re kidding me? What for?, Ryan asked shocked.

-          Playing a tape with rude images of a fellow student and for self-defense., I said looking for the others.

-          Self-defense?

-          Some skank decided to try and fight me., I said rubbing my eye which was slowly going purple.

-          Natasha?

-          How?, I asked looking confused.

-          Everyone knows. She’s in the nurses office carrying a broken nose., he said hugging me.

-          There’s Buffy!, I said spotting the others underneath a large tree.

-          Howdy folks!, I said walking towards everyone.

-          What happened?, Dee asked looking up.

-          Yeah!, Bek asked who was lying between Tilky’s legs.

-          Suspension., I muttered as I noticed Buffy and Steve were sitting in the tree.

-          Hop up girl!, Buffy said waving her arms about.

-          Need a hand?, Ryan asked me as he started climbing.

-          Nope! I’ll be fine!, I said climbing up the tree.

-          She’s got strong arms., Steve laughed.

-          More like strong everything., Buffy laughed.

-          Leave my personal traits alone., I joked.

-          Well will someone fill me in? I mean about what is happening., Ryan asked.

I filled in the group about my suspension and the little talk, or argument with the principal. Buffy also included her encounter she had.

-          Look on the bright side! You’re out of here for two weeks., Tilky said.

-          Well who wants to celebrate?, I asked.

-          I can’t! Dee can’t either. She is meant to be going out., Bek said laughing.

-          Shut up Bek!, Dee said looking at her.

-          Oooooooohhhhhhhhh., Buffy and I said at the same time.

-          She ditched Clay., Bek told us.
