The project that united us

Chapter 21

In the morning before school I drove Hunter home and then I got to school. Within the time I came to the chemistry classroom my boyfriend had texted me.

Hunter: I am grounded and the guy told a teacher and then my parents were called.

Noelle: That's not good. You will skip school.

Hunter: Yeah.

Noelle: I will give you notes from chemistry and Spanish. But get the other notes from other students in your other classes, please.

Hunter: Ok. I will.

I sat down and took out my things and waited for the bell to ring. The lessons consisted of a new topic being taught. I took a lot of notes and tried to make them as readable as I could so Hunter could at least write them down in his notebook.

The next lesson was literature. My friend were there and one of the first things they said to me where.

"The school knows about the fight." Zoe said.

"I know. He is also grounded by his parents."

"Do you think he will actually get expelled this time?" Luke questioned.

"I hope not."

"Leave her alone." Carla interrupted the conversation.

The lesson began shortly after the conversation ended. Nothing special we just went over a new novel we had to read. It will take us at least another lesson to finish, but we are also not rushing. Afterwards since even after lunch break I won't have a lesson, I decided to go to the cafe to relax there and get myself some lunch and a coffee. The coffee shop had some sandwiches I liked and I ordered an iced coffee because I didn't feel like drinking a warm drink that day. Found an empty seat and sat down. While eating and sipping the coffee I scrolled my phone, mostly social media since there was nothing else that I would do on my phone, I don't have any game stat I like or stick to for a long time.

By now the lunch break was over but since I still had some time I decided to stay at the cafe for a bit longer. Afterwards I gone back to school and slowly made my way tot he English classroom. During English we had to speak, thankfully I wasn't called to do that, I didn't feel like speaking so it was a win for me. The last class I had was economics. We had to do a short test nothing special, wasn't hard.

Then I got home. Today my mom should be back from her trip. I made myself lunch and then while doing homework I sent out my notes from chemistry to Hunter. I doubt he liked that message but he has to learn somehow, even without being in school for some time. I asked him how long was he ground for and he told me that on Monday he should be back in school, but what awaits him then is a mystery. Technically I could go and defend him since it was because of me that he got into a fight.

The day went on and sometime late in the evening I heard the front door bell ring. I rushed to the hallway to get to the door. It was my mom, I opened the door. Hugged her since I missed her a lot. Then I made dinner for us. Later gone to sleep a bit early, I was feeling fairly sleepy and had nothing else to do to pass the time.

Friday and the weekend passed, Monday arrived. Hunter was going to be finally in school but still no clue what awaits him there. I walked into English class and was nervous the entire lesson, barely able to focus. Carla texted right before the bell that Hunter was being taken to the principal's office. That message really got to me. I even overheard a few students chatting about this quietly behind my back.

Afterwards I was heading towards the math classroom when someone grabbed me by my arm and slightly walked me to the side. Hunter turned around and placed both of his hands on my shoulders.
