Red Son's POV:

MK is braiding my hair when we get the email. I open my phone.

"Shit," I mutter.

"Red Son..."

We have to meet with the college president. And my parents are coming.

"Are we gonna get expelled?" MK asks, his voice barely a whisper.

"We might, MK, I'm so sorry..."

"No," he says, sitting up, "I agreed to deal with the consequences, and I will."

I hold his face in my hands and look into his chestnut eyes. "No matter what happens, we'll get through this together. I won't let him keep us apart again."

"I love you," MK whispers, brushing his lips against mine. I pull him closer to me until there's no room between us. Finally, we pull apart. MK brushes a strand of hair out of my face.

"Did I every tell you how pretty you are with your hair down?" He asks.

I lean forwards and smile against his lips. His hands travel up my chest and into my hair. His touch leaves me breathless. Too soon, he pulls away, gasping.

"I love you too."

It's finally Monday, the day we meet with the college president. I won't admit it to MK, but I fear that my parents will find a way to keep me in this school. With their wealth and status, the school will be hesitant to kick me out. But MK...if his parents don't have the same power that my parents have, there isn't much hope. We push our way into his office.

Tim sits in a chair with his parents, looking smug. I see my parents' disapproving glare, but no one else. MK sighs. I realize with a gasp that MK is an orphan. There's two chairs put out for us. MK sinks into his, and I sit behind him. Suddenly, someone bursts into the office.

I look behind me and see our music theory professor, Mr. Wukong, stand behind MK.

I finally look at the college principal. His tag reads Mr. Azure. His arms are crossed, and his expression is almost...bored.

"Wukong, you can't stand in for a parent," Azure growls. I see MK wince as he says this.

"Why not? I know the situation well enough, I told you about the harassment and you did nothing. I will stand in for MK's parents," Wukong says.

"I don't care who stands in for the boys parents, he and his little friend deserve punishment for what they did to our house," Tim's mom says.

"Hold on a second-" Azure says before he's interrupted by my mom.

"What my son did was wrong, but please Azure, you would expel my son and lose all the funds me and my husband pour into your school?"

Mr. Azure winces at this. "Hold on now everyone, perhaps expulsion can be avoided."

"Absolutely not, I don't care who, but someone needs to be punished," Tim's dad says, his voice firm.

"I'm not saying what the boys did was right, but your son still needs to answer for harassing these two boys," Professor Wukong says.

"That's ridiculous, I would never do such a thing!" Tim says.

"You liar! Every day you would-"

"Silence!" Mr. Azure shouts. Everyone falls silent.

"Please, Azure, you know your school won't survive if I stop funding your programs," my mother starts.

"What exactly happened?" Azure says, turning to MK and me.
