Return To Paradise

Sitting in her usual seat, Brielle kept to herself while other students rushed to sit down before the teacher entered. 'mathematics this morning for the first two periods' "where is that fucking.. you" Claudia stormed brielles way trying to look tough in front of her friends. "I AM GOING TO MAKE YOUR FUCKING PATHETIC LIFE SO MISERABLE. WAIT UNTIL LUNCH YOU FUCKED UP.." mister sawyer entering, he looked at the scene Infront of him. 'Rachel, Claudia and samara verbally attacking Brielle'. "GET OUT OF MY CLASS IMMEDIATELY. STRAIGHT TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE" all three girls immediately turned with shock evident on their faces "RIGHT NOW. I WILL BE ACCOMPANYING YOU. NO ONE MOVE" "yes sir" all three girls rushed to grab their bags while Brielle kept her head down and her eyes on her work. "She didn't even say anything" "we don't know her that well but what they are doing is pathetic" "from what I understand, they always have been that way towards her" hearing every word, Brielle didn't know what to think. 'why am I the schools target. I haven't done anything to them'.
"SIT DOWN" "mister sawyer.." "I DIDNT SAY SPEAK. TWO DAYS IN A ROW FOR YOU CLAUDIA" "NO. DONT CALL.." "mister sawyer.. let me guess. Bullying?" "Yes. Claudia was the instigator. These three constantly interrupt my class. This is not okay" "INTO MY OFFICE. YOUR PARENTS WILL BE CALLED" "US TWO DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.." "RACHEL" "IM NOT GOING DOWN FOR THIS. YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK TO HER" "I see.." "HOW COULD YOU NOT BACK ME.." "MY OFFICE, NOW" Claudia threw her bag on the floor "pick that up" Claudia sighed and picked her bag up then followed the principal into his office. "You two can sit in the hallway. I will take you back to class" "yes mister meninst" 'these girls are acting like five year olds'.
Looking at his mobile as it rang, Shaun inhaled a deep breath "Shaun" "mister arlington, I have Claudia here.." Shauns anger rose "I will be right there" "yes sir" Shaun ended the call and pushed his chair back. 'this child of mine will learn. I'm taking it all' exiting his work space, Shaun made his way to the school and walked inside. 'oh.. mister arlington is here' "principal meninst, mister arlington is here" "send him in".
"Mister arlington, mister meninst is ready to see you" "thank you". Shaun entered and gently closed the door. Keeping his eyes away from Claudia, Shaun spoke "same issue as yesterday?" "Yes. Class bullying against Brielle. Her and two of her friends. They said they weren't involved. I have yet to clear that" "STAND UP AND GRAB YOUR BAG" Claudia kept her head down but did as her father told her to. "We will clear this immediately" "yes sir. Please follow me" exiting the office, mister meninst looked at Rachel and samara. "Follow me" "yes sir".
Entering the classroom, Shaun and Ethan walked brielles way with the girls present. "miss Arlington, the events at first bell. Did these.." "she's just a loner" "GET OUT. MEET ME IN THE CORRIDOR. YOU ARE ONLY TRYING TO ACT TOUGH IN FRONT OF YOUR CLASS. RUN. NOW" Claudia rushed out as many were in shock. "No" "only Claudia" Brielle nodded "alright. Thats cleared. You girls go back to your seats. But be warned.." "we know sir" "very well" 'he made me look like an embarrassment in front of my friends and the entire class' "any issues Brielle, I want you to let me know" brielle nodded 'doesnt talk much here either'. "I apologise about my daughters behaviour. Let's see if losing everything will teach her" "have a good day sir" "both of you too". Exiting the classroom, Shaun looked at Claudia with fire in his eyes "move" "this.." "oh you are about to have a huge wake up call Claudia. Go". 'argh I can't stand her'.
"Now that everyone is present. Fifteen students have signed up for the Cambodia trip next week. This trip is for three weeks. Your lists of what you need will be given to you at the end of the day. Those student will meet at the airport at eight a.m. parents must be present and sign you in. All information will be sent to your parents. Make sure you don't take anything valuable. Phones are allowed but leave everything else at home" 'i don't have anything valuable anyway'.

Finishing her day at school, Brielle waited until everyone left then stood up. "The last student. For years you have put your name down. It's about time you get to enjoy this experience. Your father has already paid and here is your list" "thank you mister sawyer" mister sawyer grinned "have a good evening" "you too". Brielle exited the classroom and walked home. 'i get to go to Cambodia. I can't wait for this trip. Oh dad's going to be in a bad mood' hearing yelling as she approached the front door, Brielle hesitated. 'i better go in' opening the door, Brielle stepped in while her father continued to yell at Claudia. "THIS IS ONLY THE START CLAUDIA. WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL, CLEANING, COOKING, NO MORE FRIENDS AFTER SCHOOL.." "SHE IS JUST SOME STUPID.." "YOU LISTEN TO ME. SHES NOT THE ONE FAILING. GROW UP CLAUDIA" "I HOPE SHE DIES" Shaun clenched his hands worrying Claudia. "Da.." "AS OF TOMORROW YOU WILL BE ATTENDING BEHAVIOURAL CLASSES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE" Brielle lowered her bag and sat down at the dining table. 'there is so much but all needed. warm and cool clothing. Spare pair of shoes.. I don't even have that' "afternoon Brielle. Is that your list?" "Afternoon. Yeah. I don't have half of what's needed" Shaun sat down "half?" Brielle nodded and handed the list to Shaun. "What is it that you need?" "Shoes, torch, bug net, waterproof jacket.." "a lot. We will go get those and more. You need clothes. You have so little" "I have.." "so little. You and I will celebrate your trip. What is your favourite food?" Brielle looked at her father in shock. "He would know if he actually cared about you but he doesn't.." "TO YOUR ROOM. NOW. YOU WONT BE EATING UNLESS ITS TOAST". While Claudia rushed to her room, Brielle looked at Shaun "Mediterranean" Shaun showed a small grin "lots of flavour. Let's find a place we can order from. Tomorrow we will go get what's needed. Including a suitcase" "okay" "well start looking. I have to go deal with your sister" Brielle nodded. While Brielle looked up a take away restaurant, shaun stormed into Claudia's room. 'where is that kid' hearing things smash, Shaun stormed out and into brielles room. "GET YOUR ASS OUT RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE MASSIVELY CROSSED EVERY LINE. I WILL SEND YOU TO LIVE WITH YOUR MOTHER IN THAT DUMP" "NO.." "GET OUT. WHAT YOU BROKE OF HERS, WILL BE REPLACED WITH YOURS" Claudia lowered her head and walked out. 'I HATE HIM. HES TAKEN EVERYTHING. WONT LET ME SEE MY FRIENDS...' "YOU CAN SIT RIGHT HERE. GRAB YOUR WORK AND GET STARTED" claudia did as she was told "due to your sisters actions, you don't have a dresser. Yours will be replaced. How did you go?" "Two places. Would you like to look at the menu?" "I will. It states you need to be at the airport at eight" Brielle nodded "then it's best we get you there at seven thirty. I know you are used to doing things independently. Any worries?" "No" Shaun nodded "okay the feta rolls sound great for a starter and the main moschofilero and wine for the main" "okay" Shaun handed brielles phone back. 'lets see how she orders'.
"You have called mazis, you are speaking with Janina" "evening Janina, I would like to place an order for delivery please" "of course. What can I get for you?" "Two items from your appetizer menu. The feta rolls and cheese platter" "of course. A main?" "Two thank you. Moschofilero and wine also the lamb skewers. That will be all for this evening" "it will be a thirty minute wait. Is that okay?" "Yes ma'am" "your address ma'am?" "Ninety one Valius street" "and will that be by card?" "One moment please. Dad. By card?" "Yes" "yes please" "sure. Thank you for your order. I do hope you enjoy your meal" "it all sounds wonderful. Thank you. Bye" "bye".
"Thirty minutes" "well that will give your sister time to make her toast or a sandwich" 'my dad used to do that with me. I hate feeling like this'.
