The one for me 💗 (Michael Afton x reader)

Chapter 51- Checkmate

I sat in class, anxious. For God's sake, I'm going to feed Katrina my fist. She thinks she can mess with me like that?

I grab my pen and twirl it around my hands. I learnt how to twirl my pen ages ago. Everyone thought I was that one kid that was just too cool for school.

"I can't believe I came here finding out that I beat Katrina up, got hit on by some jerk and now I'm suffering with English" I whisper to myself as I sulk. I hate this day already.

I hear a knock and the lecture comes to a halt. I peer to the doorway and see a staff member from the office.

Uh oh.

They whisper something to my teacher and he shakes his head, giving me a glance. The staff member quickly responded with something that made him instead nod.

"Y/n? Could you please see your way to the office?" He cleared his throat and my head perked right up. My mouth felt dry and I nodded.

Crap.

I stuffed everything into my bag. I felt everyone stare at me. Their eyes pierced into my body like hot pokers. I felt my heart thump and I quickly moved to the door. I nod goodbye to my teacher and follow the staff member. I barely know her despite the fact that I came here a couple months ago.

"This way love" She tilted her head towards the office and I muttered a quiet sorry. I think I went the wrong way. She opened the door and I went in first. The cool feel of the air conditioner hit me right on the face. I suddenly shivered.

It's funny though. I came to the school already feeling cold.

"They're waiting for you" she led me deeper into the office. Soon we were standing outside the principal's door.

Holy shit. I'm gonna die.

She pushed the door open and walked in first. I followed and oh boy. I saw Michael sitting down opposite to the principal with Katrina sitting next to him. A chair lay vacant next to her. I assumed that was for me.

"Ah Y/n. Come sit" She smiled. Her perfect teeth glistened as she tucked a stray hair from her bun back into its spot. I nodded and quickly obeyed. I took my bag off and dropped it next to Michaels. My heart shook as I looked at Michael. His face was still bandaged. He looked at me and I saw his eyes. He looked nervous. I didn't look at Katrina.

She doesn't deserve my gaze.

I finally sat down and placed my hand on my lap. Even though I desperately tried not to look at the awards behind the principle, I couldn't control myself. Multiple displays of trophies, awards and medals lay behind her. All on display. Some on glass boxes, some of them on the wall.

"So, I assume you three must know why you're here?" She raised her eyebrows. I nodded and bit my lip.

"Y/n. There's been many rumours circulating that you had physically hurt Katrina." She looked at Katrina and back at me. "You know that this is against the student code of conduct."

.....

"Therefore resulting in a suspension."

.....

I felt myself freeze.

"Is this true Y/n?" She tilted her head.

"I-" I felt my throat tighten. "Well I-"

The thing is.. I didn't beat her up but I sorta did? I had to tell her about Mason.. I can't get suspended! I have nearly 12 years of a perfect record.

"Ma'am- Y/n didn't beat her up or anything. Katrina did." Michael interrupted. Katrina let out a gasp and the principal gave them both a furrowed brow.

"Enough! I only want to hear from Y/n. Is this true or not?" The principal grunted, agitated. I felt her patience quickly dry up.
