10 DAYS IN SUMMER CAMP

THREE

'Maya Logan, report to the Principal's office now. Maya Logan report now!' the Principal's voice boomed from the school's intercom.

"Huh? What does the Principal wants with you?"

"I don't know. I just hope it isn't what I'm thinking"

She wiped her sweaty hands on her shorts and left the other students who had continued jogging.

She glanced at Phoenix and his friends, they were scrolling through their phones. Such lazy cuties. She sneered and walked past them, they didn't even take a glance at her or notice her.

'I hope Allison didn't say I did any other thing to her'

She heaved before she made her way to the Principal's office.

He sat across his desk, a coffee on his right hand as he took a brief look over Kyle Owen's file through his glasses.

His father had promised to install new set of computers in the school and in return he wanted good grades for his son.

"Quite a bribery" he muttered, dropping his mug of coffee on the table. He took his pen and signed an approval on the file, before finally removing his small glasses.

He sighed resting on his back and twirling his seat, the chants of birds outside filling his ears.

'What a rough week!'

A light knock came through from the door "Come in!"

He watched the slim girl walk in bowing her head slightly before him.

"Mr Principal, you sent for me"

"Yes dear, take a seat"

She sat quietly, starring at his table same time fondling her nails.

'Who drinks coffee at this hour?' She thought.

"Amaya" he exhaled, taking enough time to think and breathe.

"Yes Mr. Principal"

He never enjoyed students calling him Mr. Principal, but they all just wouldn't stop.

"I called you here to let you know the decision of the school's disciplinary committee over your offence"

"Disciplinary committee? My offence? But I thought that has been cleared, I get to go for Summer Camp as my punishment" this time she starred at him, speaking right to his face.

"Yes dear, but they figured it isn't just any misdemeanor. Besides Savannah's parents wrote a petition against you for you to be punished more justly" he added. He whirled the more on his seat still starring at her.

"Well you didn't let me say my own part of the story"

"No one needs your part of the story. And next time you don't interrupt me whenever I'm talking" he cut her off and gently took a sip of his coffee. She glared at him with scorn wishing she could just get all of this done with.

"Now back to where we were. For consciously spilling your meal on your classmates, you get to do the cleaning to the library for three days and ensure the school cafeteria is tidied after lunch break. Meaning you'll miss classes for this, and it must be done after lunch break." He took a dramatic pause "..you can come as early as possible to clean up the library for the three days you get, starting from tomorrow. All these including attending Summer Camp" he stated with total resolute.
