!!Tw: Panic attack!!

GEORGIE

Here I am, again.

The principal might fucking kill me, I'm back in her office for the second time today. However, I feel like I've done nothing wrong this time. Okay.. I'll admit it, I did smack a guy in his face but it was well deserved.

"I can't believe this.. Jason, this is the second time that you started a fight this week." Miss Peters sighs, shaking her head.

"But Miss-"

"No Jason, I've had it with you." she says.

She might of have had some trouble with me but believe me, Jason is ten times worse. He's the captain of the football team, the biggest bully, racist and as I just learned sexist in this whole town. Well, his father might beat him to it.

"Niall, can you explain to me how you got involved?" the principal asks.

"Jason was talking about Georgie, he was calling her names and saying horrible things about her. I'm Georgie's friend, I know it's wrong to fight but when someone talks bad about my friends then I have to defend them." Niall explains, still pressing the bag of ice against his nose.

The principal nods, takes in his words and then looks at me. Here we go.. I'll have to defend why I smacked Jason and somehow make her see that it was just what he deserved. I'm going to have to explain this to her just right because I can't risk being kicked out of school, Joey would never forgive me.

"Why smack him? Why not just go and tell a teacher so we can give him the right kind of punishment?" she asks.

"He was humiliating me, not only me but women in general. I have always learned to stick up for myself and so I think he got just what he deserved." I tell her.

She keeps quiet, probably processing my words. I don't know what she's going to think about what I just said but I don't expect it will be any good. Jason tries to make eyecontact with me, I turn my head and lock my eyes with him, letting him know that I'm not scared. He tries so hard to make everyone around him fear him, but I'll gladly be that one person who he can't scare.

"Now.. I'll have to punish you all." the principal finally breaks the silence that was hanging over her office.

I sigh and take a look at Niall, he sends me a weak smile and I send him one back. In the meantime, Jason is going on and on about how he'll let his father know about this and how the principal can't just punish him like that. That boy is really so fucking annoying.

"You'll each write an assignment of ten pages on why it's wrong to fight." she says.

"Oh for fuck's sake!" Jason curses.

"Ten?! Are you insane?" I speak without thinking again.

Jason tries the 'daddy will hear about this' approach again but I just take the glare from the principal and shut my mouth. If I say much more then I might get in even more trouble.

Before the principal sends us out, she makes me stand up. Only me. With a confused look on my face, I do what she asks me to do. My hands fall down my sides and even though I was dressed more revealing this morning, I feel more exposed right now.

"I want you to say sorry." she tells me.

"Excuse me?" I ask, brows furrowing.

"This all started because of your actions, like most things in your life." she mumbles that last part before regaining herself. "It's only right that you apologize to us all."

A schocked scoff leaves my lips, her words are softly seeping into my mind and I can hardly believe that she really just said that to me. I'm not dreaming, am I? Did this woman, who I used to see as a motherly figure, tell me that I cause most of the problems in my life?
