The boys were having a silly conversation about some geek stuff that I didn't understand. I felt like I was invisible cause of how into the conversation the two were. Peter didn't even say hi. Only Ned.
In Spanish Peter gave me a note.
FYI today's my last detention! Excittteddd <3
I didn't want to get in trouble by giving it back to him so I just kept it and waited to talk till class was over.
"What was that heated conversation even about earlier?"
I asked the boys once we were out of class
"It's too complicated to explain"
Peter said.
The day was pretty much the same as every other day.
During the last class of the day we had no work, only a few students had to redo some work but they were sent out of the room meaning we had some free time.
Peter was sat next to me and was doing some homework, Ned was next to him just chatting with the group behind us and I was just chilling with my backpack in my lap.
"Do you not have homework?"
Peter asks putting his work in his backpack
"Nope."
I say turning to him.
"And your not reading..?"
"I need to stop by library for some new books"
"Already?"
He asks shocked.
I laugh
"Yeah. Might go get some books from the school library while your in detention"
Peter opens his mouth to say something but then the door opens and the class goes silent.
The principal walks in and looks frustrated
"How can I help you?"
Our teacher asks
"Could I get Veronica to step out of the classroom and come to my office"
He says
My mouth drops open.
Why me
What did I do
I did nothing
I have great grades
I haven't done anything wrong
...Right?
"Bring your backpack Veronica"
he says and I look at Peter and Ned.
While standing up Peter whispers
"What's happening?"
"I don't know"
I mouth back.
Ned waves to me and I walk out with the principal while adjusting my backpack on my back.
"Did I do something wrong?"
I hesitantly ask
"You did nothing wrong Veronica"
Once we're in his office I sit down and hug my backpack to my chest.
"It was been made clear to me about your family situation. The real stuff"
He says
I'm done for
I'm out of here
He know
He knows about my dad and the criminal stuff
And how I was involved
Oh god..
My hands are shaking so I put them in my lap. Why am I so nervous
"O-ok.."
I say quietly
"Your dads arrest has been officially gone through. So he's in prison. And he's going to be there a long time"
I nod and he goes on
"which means you have nobody looking after you."
"I can take care of myself.."
I say to him and he clears his throat
He seems uncomfortable like he's never had to do this before
Thankfully
"Well Veronica I'm sure you're very capable of living by yourself but you have to have an adult to take care of you. It's law"
"But my father is just in prison not dead"
"You have to have someone taking care of you. With you. Stable.-"
He kept on going but I was so over this conversation
I don't see how now is any different then before
"Veronica. You'll have to find a new care taker like a relative of some sorts by the end of the week or we'll get one for you"
As soon as I'm able to leave, I do. The last bell rings so I make my way back to class and see what I missed while I was in the office. Then I go to the detention room.
I see Peter and MJ standing outside of the room talking.
