I'm in my office doing paperwork when I get a call from the middle school.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Hello, is this Camden Tames?" I hear a voice ask through the line.
"Yes."
"Your brother Linden is in the principals office. We need someone to come pick him up."
This takes me off guard. I haven't even talked to him in days. He didn't seem like the type to get in trouble.
"And why is that?" I ask them.
"He punched a kid in the face. Broke the poor boys nose."
I sigh and shake my head. "I'll come get him."
I drive down to the school and walk to the office.
I see Linden sitting in a chair in front of the principal while the old man lectures him.
"I suggest you stop yelling at my brother before I remove your vocal cords." I say firmly, making the principal stop.
I made sure Linden wasn't listening before I spoke. It's easy to tell when someone is zoned out.
"Sorry." The principal says to me.
"You better be." I tell him.
"Linden." I say and he snaps out of it, turning to me.
I wave my hand to the door and he nods, following me out.
I get in the car and he sits in the back, taking out a book and reading.
Once we get home he goes to walk to his room but I put my hand on his shoulder, stopping him.
"Follow me to my office." I say, firmer than I intended.
We go up the stairs and to my office, sitting at my desk.
He's in front of my desk while I click through a few folders on my computer.
I turn it off and look towards him but after a few seconds of him not noticing me I gently remove the book from his hand and put it next to my computer.
"What happened today?" I ask and he looks down.
Shit, stop being scary Camden.
