Common Ground (2nd book in Fatal Attaction)

Detention... Of Course

Emilie's POV
We now sat in a interrogation room, after they found Jackson, note to self never leave Allison and Sage on watch duty. "You will not go within 50 feet of Jackson Whittemore. You will not speak to him. You will not approach him. You will not assault or harass him physically or psychologically." Dad read the restraining order. "What about school?" Stiles asked, same way I still go to school with Matt and having that restraining order. "You can attend classes while attempting to maintain a 50 - foot distance." Dad said. "Bu - okay, what if we both have to use the bathroom at the same time and there's only two stalls available and they're only right next to each other? I'll just hold it." Stiles said seeing the glare we left the room afterwards and Dad looked at the two of us. "Do I need to remind you how lucky we are that they're not pressing charges?" He asked. "Oh, come on, it was just a joke." Stiles and I said. "It was a joke?" Dad asked. "Yes, I didn't think it would be taken this seriously. Dad, humor's very subjective, okay? I mean, we're talking, like, multiple levels of interpretation here." I said. "Uh - huh." Dad said not believing us. "Uh - huh." Stiles agreed. "Okay, well, how exactly am I supposed to interpret the stolen prison transport van, huh?" Dad asked. "We filled the tank!" Stiles and I defended. We walked out seeing Ms. McCall lecture Sage and Scott. "Then no, uh - no Stiles and Em. "What - no Stiles?" Stiles asked. "Or Em?" I asked. "No Stiles and Em! And no more car privileges. Give me your keys. Give 'em to me! Oh, for the love of God." Ms. McCall said starting to tear up trying to get the keys off. "Mom, you want me to?" Scott asked. "No." Ms. McCall said. "Mom, come on, let me just - mom. Mom!" Scott said. "What is going on with you two? Is this about Allison and Em?" Ms. McCall asked. "No, also I'm passing all my classes." Scott said. "Do you really wanna know?" Sage asked. "Yeah. Is this about your father? It is, isn't it? Okay, you know what, um - We'll talk about this at home. I'm gonna go get the car." Ms. McCall said. "We're the worst sons ever." The two said in unison. "Well, we're not exactly winning any prizes either." Stiles and I said. We went home and Isabelle sighed seeing us as we told her everything. "A restraining order? Damn soon Emmy will have to go to another school." She said. "This only a second one, plus the first one was for my safety." I said. "I know, plus it's a shock Dad didn't shoot the twerp." Isabelle said. "I think Dad wanted to and after Scott made me his mate wanted to claw the guy." I said not wanting to remember the incident with Matt. I went up to my room and put on my pjs.

I sat on my bed and started watching Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood on Netflix. I heard a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I asked. "Your Dad can we talk?" He asked. "Sure." I said shrugging. "I'm sorry for getting mad, it's just after you started dating Scott you became distant and you're now getting into trouble." Dad said. "I get it, it's just a lot is going on, school, photography, and now hanging out with my friends." I said shrugging. "It's fine, you can keep your laptop, and phone since you need the laptop for photography and the phone for safety reasons, but try not to get into anymore trouble." Dad said kissing my forehead. "Okay, want to watch some Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood?" I asked. "Sure, but only the episode that you like." Dad said. I nodded and found the episode where Ling shows up. I played it and Dad and I laughed at Ling. He left and I went to bed. I woke up to my phone pinging with messages. I opened it and saw it was Lydia.
Lyd:Hey um why did Allison need me to translate things about a Kanima?
EJ:DND campaign.
Lyd:Okay, Allison said about an online gaming community with mythical creatures.
EJ:It's for both.
I got out of bed and got dressed for today.
