Y/N's pov
I've been here for a few hours now. Made new friends, drunk a lot, danced a lot...

"Hey wanna go outside for a cig?" Maddy, one of my new friends, asks me.

"Yeah let's go"

She gives me a cigarette and a lighter. I light it up and we stand there for about 30 seconds before I hear someone shouting.

"MS L/N!!" I flinch and turn around to see my principal standing there. Everyone in the yard of the house is looking at us.

She walks over to me and takes my wrist forcefully.

"Put that down right now and get in the car." She orders and I do as she says. She opens the car door for me and pushes me inside to the passengers seat. She then goes to the other side and sits to the drivers seat.

"Wait, I forgot my blazer. Be right back!" I tell her and before she gets to say anything, I'm already out the car.

Maddy comes back inside with me. "I am not going anywhere with her."

"Yeah you better not." She laughs a bit and I laugh too.

"Do you think she'll just leave if I don't go back?" I wonder.

"We could try that." She suggests and I give her a thumbs up.

We head to the living room and start talking with everyone. After about 15 minutes, the drinks are hitting me a bit too hard and me and Maddy get up on the table to dance. Everyone in the room has their eyes on us.

We dance there like it's the last day on earth until this guy named Jamie taps on my foot and yells "Y/N, mad principal warning!" And starts laughing. My eyes widen in horror and I focus my gaze on the doorway, looking straight in my principals' eyes. She doesn't look angry, she looks... disappointed?

She turns around and walks out the door. Something tells me to follow her. I get down from the table with the help of Jamie and say my goodbyes to Maddy.

I rush outside to see Ms Weems walking to her car and slamming the door shut. I run to her as fast as I can in these heels, getting in the car.

She doesn't look at me, just starts the car and starts driving.

"I am enraged with you Ms L/N. You were not allowed to go to Jericho during these two weeks. Your punishment was detention and grounding."

"Come on, Weems, I was just having fun. Making new friends you know?"

"It's Ms Weems. I expected you to make friends with outcasts, not normies."

"But I'm a normie myself! How does that make sense to you?"

"Do you see any other normies at Nevermore than you?" She finally looks at me and asks.

"Well yeah Ms Thornhill-"

"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN MS L/N!" She shouts at me and I don't have the courage to say anything else.

"And what's worse, is that you lied to me." She finally says after the silence that was there for too long.

"What do you mean?"

"When I asked about your weekend plans you said you had nothing to do. Turns out you lied about that, too."

"Look I didn't mean to lie, it's just you're my principal and I didn't want to tell you because you wouldn't have let me go there."

She doesn't respond anymore. I'm starting to get very warm because I'm still very drunk. If it gets any hotter I'll panic.
