Cindy's P.O.V.
I had English Literature after Geography so I went in the hallway going towards my locker.
I was taking out my books for Literature when I saw Ariel, the principal, vice principal and Christian-Jordain walking into the principal's office. I started to worry when I saw the gut wrenching mask of horror on both Christian's and Ariel's faces.
What the hell is happening?
The principal closes the door and close the shutters as if he got a real serious matter to take care of.
I'm sure Ariel is not in trouble.
She's perfect unlike me...
Mom even loves her more than me even though she's doing poor in school and I'm doing great.
I think this is because I'm black and Ariel is brown.
Tears come to my eyes as I start to think of how cruel it is to have my own mother treat me bad over a matter of racism.
The bell rings.....snapping me out of my sad thoughts reminding me that I have to get to Literature class
I grabbed my books, shut my locker and headed off to class
...
Ariel's P.O.V.
I'm sitting in the chair beside Christian. His zip is still down.
We're both sitting opposite to the principal.
The vice principal walked out when he got a couple of phone calls.
The principal turned is eyes from off his computer then onto both Christian and I.
I'm fretting out hell...
"Ariel," he said, "I am so disappointed in you. You were found by me and my fellow assistant, sitting in Christian-Jordain's lap, having sex. What kind of young lady has your mother been raising?" He said very angrily.
He was looking at us as if we were the biggest disgrace on earth.
By his choice of words, I held my head down, feeling embarrassed, ashamed, hated.
Tears began to fill my eyes.
The principal is sitting there just staring at me like a statue.
I'm trying to look on anything, anywhere but on him.
"Young lady I asked you a questionSame opened my mouth to say something bit nothing comes out.
The principal then stands in a split second and started to raise his voice at me.
"Ariel! Am I speaking to myself here? Did you know that in a case like this, caught on the school compound having sexual intercourse is a straight expoltion?"
I looked up at him and answered his question: "Yes Sir."
I could barely even hear myself whispering.
"Same goes for you Mr. Calvert!", the principal said angrily.
Christian held his head down not wanting to make she contact with him either... Just like me.
"Ok since no one wants to talk, both of you write down your parents' number on this piece of paper now!"
He ripped out a page from his notepad and and placed a pen on top of it on his desk.
"I expect you to write it now!", he shouted.
I then took up the pen and started to write down my mother's and father's phone number.
When I was done, Christian took the own and paper and wrote both his parents numbers like I did.
He then gave it to Mr. Jones (The Principal).
Mr. Jones took the paper, leaving the pen on the desk, took out H
his phone and told us to go wait in the waiting area in his secretary's office; which is at the back of his office.
We did as we were told.
I could see Mr. Jones dialing one of the numbers on his phone and held it up at his ear to speak.
"Hello, good afternoon Mrs. James, this is Mr. Jones, principal of the East High School."
"Good afternoon Mr.Jones. How are you?", she replied.
"Very bad actually. I was calling to tell you that your daughter, Ariel, was caught on the school compound having sex with a boy. I was wondering how soon you could make it down here.", he said.
"I'm on my way!", and without another word, the call was ended.
He then celled Christian's mother.
There was a time he put the call on hold to send for my sister, Cindy.
Oh shit! What is she gonna think of me?
Cindy's P.O.V.
I was siting down, reading my Literature Book when I heard my name over the intercome: "Cindy James from class 11a, please make your way to the principal's office."
Am I in trouble?
I said to myself
I started to wonder what I have done.
About a minite later, I was sitting down beside my sister and Christian-Jordain in Mr. Jones's Office.
I gave Ariel the 'what's happening' look and she held her head down.
I'm here feeling very confused.
The principal got off a pone cakk and sat in his chair in front of the 3 of us.
He then began to speak...
"So Cindy, did you know about this?"
"I'm sorry Sir but I don't know what you are talking about", I replied
"Disappointingly, Ariel and Christian were caught my me and the vice principal having sexual inter course at the back of the the school.", he said in a very serious tone.
I looked at Ariel in shck and disgrace. But she didn't make eye contact with me.
The principal and the rest of us in the office was frightened as the door busted open.
We were releieved to see that it was just my mother with a very angry look on her face which I have never seen her with before.
Shit just got real...
Oh damn!
