Eva Timog liked to think she was a good student.
She got good grades and did charity work outside of school to pad her resume for going to college. She was apart of McKinleys band club which got way less recognition than they should have.
But here she was, sitting across from principal Figgins pleading her way out of suspension with red dye on her clothes and a busted lip.
"Please!" She begged,"I cannot have a suspension on my record! Do you know what that will do for my chances at Columbia?" She pleaded, hoping that any mention of her dreams past high school would calm the principle from choosing any punishment that could effect her school record.
"I know you strive for further education," he started, crossing his hands on his desk, "Which is more than I can say about the rest of this school—but that does not mean you don't get punished for starting a fight!" He stated sternly. Of course she knew she shouldn't have hit Karofsky, but it was bound to come with how much time he spent tormenting people.
"I didn't start it! He threw a slushee on me!"she retorted, public schools in the Midwest astound me.
He sighed, leaning back."Well due to my extreme generosity, you will only have to serve a months detention."
She groaned internally, better than nothing.
She stood up abruptly, snatching her bag and curtly walking out of the office. Eva cannot believe this. Detention. Her life really couldn't suck more, with moving from New York to Lima, Ohio over the summer, leaving all her friends behind and her moms apartment in Coney Island, her life was becoming more and more brutal by the second.
Her mom was going to kill her.
She strode through the hall, glaring at passing walls and conversations as she stormed to her next class. No friends at McKinley meant she was due for a slushee facial, but that does not mean she can't go down swinging.
