"MR. MATTHEWS STOP SPINNING IN THAT CHAIR.
I got you guys here today because- Mr. Matthews stop messing with that!"

(...)

As Charmaine walked into the kitchen, Chet Hunter leaned against the counter, holding the phone in one hand and a suspicious look in the other.

"The school called," He began, his tone teetering
between amused and accusatory. "They said you pulled the fire alarm during chemistry class."

Charmaine didn't even flinch. She grabbed a glass from the cabinet and filled it with water, her expression cool and composed. "You have zero proof it was me" She said taking a sip. "I want a lawyer until further notice."

Chet burst out laughing, pointing at her proudly "That's my lucky charm right there! Chemistry doesn't even matter anyway." He gave her wink, only to yelp as Virna smacked him on the arm with a disapproving look.

"Chet don't encourage her." Virna said, her hands on her hips. Turned to Charmaine, her toned softened, "Honey we believe you if you say that you didn't do it."

Charmaine placed her glass down and smiled sweetly "Thanks Mom!" She leaned over planting a kiss on Virna's cheek, then turned to her Dad and kissed him on the cheek too, "Thanks Dad!"

Chet chuckled rubbing his cheek, "Well aren't we a little politician today?"

Charmaine grinned as she walked towards her room feeling victorious.

Just as she reached to her room the phone rang again.

"Charmaine it's for you!" Virna called out.

Charmaine hesitated, then sighed dramatically.

she walked back and grabbed the phone.

"Talk to me." She said, her tone casual.

"Charmaine, we have to go back to Feeny's class tomorrow." Eric said.

"What? Matthews? Why?"

"No it's Fonzie! Because I realized I messed up. I might've given those kids the wrong impression about high school." He admitted.

"Glad you came back to your senses." Charmaine said.

"Yeah, laugh it up." Eric said.

"Will do Fonzie." She said and hung up.

"Yeah I know.. Hello?".

Earlier that day..

"CHARMAINE HUNTER TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE." The speaker blared across the school.

Charmaine sighed, packing her things, she trudged through the halls toward the principals office, mentally preparing for whatever trouble Shawn may have caused this time.

As she stepped inside, her eyes immediately landed on Eric Matthews, spinning in a chair like he had all the time in the world.

"Ah Ms. Hunter, you're here!" the principal said while gesturing for her to take a seat.

"Yeah, I am, what's this about?" Charmaine glancing at Eric who was now leaning back precariously in the chair.

"Mr. Matthews stop spinning in that chair." the principal said sharply causing Eric to abruptly stop.

The principal continued.

"We need two high school volunteers to visit the middle school and give a lecture about what students can look forward to when they come to John Adam's High."

Eric grinned propping his feet on the desk.

"Sounds fun, can I get out of algebra for it?"

Charmaine rolled her eyes. "This sounds like a you problem, why am I here?"
