Mute Emma

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Seventeen 
Emma’s Pov

“Ah Emma, I'm glad you decided to show up today” the eldest office staff member said. I’ve never liked her. 

“Why am I here in Kaitlin?” I asked using her first name. It was probably a bad idea though because she has the power to give me detention. 

“You don't call any teacher or staff member by this first name young lady it's disrespectful” she spoke raising her voice a little.

“you still haven’t told me while i'm here” i tell her in a duh tone. Not really sure why i said it like that cause it had nothing to do with me calling her by her first name.

“I'll go and get Mr Harris,” she said before walking away.

Mr Harris is the principle and he and I end up talking all the time considering I'm falling almost all of my classes, I talk back to teachers, i don't always show up to school and i did get into a few fights when i first started going here.

It took a few minutes but eventually Kaitlin told me to go into his office and so I did as told.

Once I entered the room I noticed that there’s a new painting on the wall. “Your wife painted that?” I ask closing the door behind me. 

“Yes Emma but that's not why you've been called in here” he starts. He used my full name too so this must not be good.

When i don't say anything he continues. “A few people have brought it to my attention that you have been using and selling drugs on school grounds” 

“I've always come to school 100% sober” I mention “plus you have drug tested me before” i remark. 

“Yes well we caught a few students smoking cigarettes and weed on school grounds” he says “okay well what does that have to do with me?” I ask, starting to get angry. I don't think I can lie my way out of this. 

“Well the students that we caught all said that they bought their stuff from you” he tells me “okay well do you have any proof” i ask knowing he doesn't because whenever i sell after or before school i make sure the security cameras can't see me. 

“Well we checked all the security tapes and didn't see anything but the police will be here in a few minutes to check your locker and backpack and a female police officer will do a body search” he told me. 

“Fine by me” i say knowing there's nothing on me and that my locker has been broken since i started going here “but you should know that my locker has been broken since my first day here” i informed him

“Why didn't you say anything about it” he asked “I never used one at forks so i didn't really care when i found out” i said shrugging my shoulders. 

It was silent for a few minutes as he typed on his computer. It was actually reliving to see the door open and two officers walk in and both are female. 

“I am Tori Knight and this is Athena Sargent” the girl on the left says. She has brown hair, green eyes and stands at about 5’9. Athena is blonde with blue eyes and stands approximately at 5’6. 

“Alright Emma you can hand over your backpack to athena while Tori searches you” Mr. Harris told me. I gave him a look because the way he worded it just creeps me out. 

However I did as told and handed over my backpack. “Alright I need to stand with your legs apart and arms out” tori instructed. I didn't argue with her, I just did as told. 

She checked my hoodie pockets and then all four of me jeans pockets and found my phone and ear buds.

Then patted my arms, back, stomach and sides to make sure there was nothing tapped to my body. 

She of course found nothing so she patted down my legs and came up empty handed. “Can you remove your shoes for me?” she asked me.

I nodded my head after giving her a weird look. I slipped my shoes off and there of course was nothing in them. 

Once she thought I was drug free she gave me the okay to put my shoes back on and gave me my phone and ear buds back. Athena then spoke up “her bag is clear”.

“Alright well apparently her locker is broken so i'll get the janitor to walk with you guys” Mr harris said walking over to the phone on his desk. 

It didn't take long before the two officers, Mr Harris, and the janitor were following me to my locker.

Once we got to it I put in the combination to prove it didn't work and then the janitor pried it open with his magic. 

There was no searching needed though because the locker was empty.

“Drug test her” Mr Harris said after a while “why” i ask “you didn't find anything in my possession” i add.

“It's protocol” was all he said before leading us back to the office. 

They ended up testing me for different things and i'm not really sure what but all the tests proved that i'm completely sober so i don't really care. 

I think I just got lucky that I don't have anything on me today. I usually do but i haven't been here so nobody has asked for anything.
