Her Darling | L.W.

Chapter 4

Y/N's pov
Ms Weems glares at us, as if waiting for me to ask her.

"Ms Weems, could I spend the day with my friend Maddy..?" I ask her carefully. She raises her eyebrow.

"Could I speak to you in private for a second, Ms L/N?" She asks me and I get a little confused about it but shrug my shoulders and nod. We go outside the café to chat.

"Who's that?" She asks me immediately as the door closes.

"My friend Maddy."

"How do you know her?"

"We got to know each other last Friday at the party."

"Why do you want to spend your day with her?" This is starting to feel like an interrogation.

"Because I want to?" I ask her in a sassy way, forgetting that she's my principal.

"Excuse me, young lady? Do not have that attitude towards me ever again. Understood?" She asks me and I nod quickly.

"Please..?" I look at her with an attempt of doing my puppy eyes. I don't know if it worked. Probably not.

"Fine, let's get back inside." She says and I start smiling at her. "Thank you so much!!" I say to her, still with the smile. She nods and turns around to go back inside. I follow right behind her. The power she holds over me is astonishing sometimes.

We go back inside and Ms Weems says "You can spend the day together. Just because you behaved well in therapy. I expect you in my office at 4pm."

"Thank you again principal Weems. I'll see ya then!" I smile up at her for the last time before I grab Maddy's hand and we run outside, excited. I can feel my principal's glare on my back but decide not to look.

"So what do ya wanna do?" Maddy asks me.

"Shopping?" I suggest.

"Absolutely. Didn't want to go back to school anyways." She says and we start giggling.

We link our arms and walk towards the shops.

I get out of the bus with three shopping bags in each hand. I found so much cute stuff and spent a bit too much. The time is already 3:45pm so I might just go straight to Weems' office, I don't want to be late.

I walk through the surprisingly empty halls towards the principal's office. I let out a small sigh before knocking on the door.

"Hello Ms Weems" I say monotonously, closing the door behind me. Her head shoots up from her work.

"Ms L/N, how was your day?"

"Good. We went shopping for almost the whole day." I look down at my shopping bags and she notices them, too. She looks a bit startled at the amount of bags in my hand. I put them down on the ground as they're very heavy.

"Do you always buy that much stuff when shopping?" She asks while raising one brow.

"Well, yeah... Sometimes I don't mean to, but I just find so many pretty clothes and other stuff that I just can't stop myself... And then I end up spending too much. I know it sounds stupid, but I think sometimes my emotions take over." I say to her, rubbing my neck with my right hand awkwardly.

"What do you mean by your emotions taking over?" She tilts her head while asking.

"I mean when something else is going on in my life, some things that make me feel lots of different emotions, I tend to unravel those emotions by spending money on stuff. I don't know, it sound stupid as I said."
