2. Jonah

"You don't know shit."

"Your dad leaving you is all I need to know."

I've been tired of hearing this kid all year. I swung at him and didn't stop hitting until 3 school administrators were running towards us and dragging us off of each other (me off of him, mostly) and to the office. I knew all too well how this would end.

-

"Jonah, please. You're making this so hard on me! One more screw up and they're going to put you in a foster care system! Is that what you want?" My sister asked, both her hands pulling at her hair in a distressed manner.

I got taken out of school early for the day for obvious reasons. My sister wasn't happy about it.

"The kid was being an ass."

"Can you think about your family for just once in your life? Or about your future? This shit matters, Jonah. That's the third time this month. The school is going easy on us because they fucking pity us! I don't know if I should put you in counseling or something..."

I cut her off right there. I was not going to counseling. "That's not happening."

"You aren't giving me any other option!" Vanessa exclaims.

"Whatever. I won't get in any more fights. Just no counseling." I told her.

The next day at school, by third period I was sitting in the nurse's office holding a bloody tissue up to my nose by her order.

Listen, I know this looks bad. And it is. But the kid was 6 foot 2 and at least 240 pounds. It wasn't my fault!

"How did she take it?" I asked the nurse who had just gotten off of the phone with my sister.

Nurse Harris had tended to me multiple times throughout the year. I'm only a freshman so she will have lots of time to get used to me while I'm in high school. Well, that's if I don't get expelled after this whole ordeal.

"I think I heard a sniffle or two by the time I got done explaining the whole ordeal." 

I felt a small pang in my heart at the thought of Vanessa crying because of me. Despite getting into a lot of fights, I still had a soft spot for my older sister.

The nurse stopped in front of me before heading out, "This one is gonna get you expelled, you know."

I groaned and threw my head back.

"Fuck."

-

I was scared to meet my sister's eyes when I heard the front door to the school open. I knew it was her. I heard her heels clicking the floor with every harsh step. She was positively pissed.

"Get up. Let's go," she stopped in front of me.

"I'm expelled."

"I know."

We sat in silence for a moment before I got up and headed out to my sister's car.

"Listen, the school recommended something to me that can get you back on track and in this school next year," my sister started. We lived in a small town and Vanessa couldn't afford the gas money to have to drive me out of town to go to another school every day. 

I already had a bad feeling about this. I stopped walking and turned to her to listen.

"Okay..."

"A summer behavioral camp-"

"Nope."

She sighed, obviously expecting my reaction. "I'm not giving you any other option, Jonah. It's a great facility, and it's ran by our school. It's about an hour down south. They may even let you come and visit on certain days since you live so close." I doubted it, considering it's for bad kids who need to be watched over. Kids who needed to be "fixed".
