Dino slowly backs away, pressing himself against the whiteboard to maximize distance between himself and Frederick.
He terrified him. He knew what he was capable of and never wanted to be on the receiving end of such violence. Why was Bright so upset at him calling a couple of idiot kids 'fag'? Surely it doesn't matter.
And then it hit him. It hurt Frederick's feeling when Dino used that word as an insult. Mr Coochie felt awful, and looked up into Mr Brights eyes, while were shiny with tears. Dino stepped forward and placed a hand on Freddie's face.
"I'm...so sorry. I wasn't thinking when I said it and I never realized how much it would hurt you. I know I shouldn't be throwing slurs at students anyway but if I had known it was going to hurt you this way then I would have never even considered doing it. Please forgive me." Frederick looked at Dino and saw the sincereness of his apology, and he smiled.
"Oh Dino, I could never stay mad at you for too long could I? You're forgiven-" Dinos face lit up at those words "-but do not think you are off the hook. Calling a student a slur? When you're the principal no less? That is unacceptable behavior and it will not be tolerated within this school. Do you understand Mr Coochie?" Dino nods his head.
Frederick hums in approval. "Good..." he whispers, his fingers moving up and gently touching Dinos neck, sending shivers down his spine. Bright grabs Coochies hand and leads him out of the classroom and into the corridor, eager to get home and teach him a lesson.
