I sat down on the same wooden bench all students would hate to be on. It's a brown wooden bench up against a wall.
It was placed across the principles office. The only thing that could make this worse is if Matt was sitting next to me. 'oh wait he is' I let out a laugh, more like a tiny giggle trying to make myself feel better about the current situation we were in. I was seated all the way on the other side of the bench to where one of my legs dangled to off to the side. Same as Matt when we first sat down. Now he took advantage that I'm all the way off that he takes up most of the bench with his legs sprawled out with his arms across his chest.
"Is something funny?" He asked with irritation in his voice. It wasn't my fault we were here, if he didn't start it by pouring the bottle of ranch on me I wouldn't of dropped milk all over his 'precious' hair. I looked over to him and rolled my eyes not wanting to talk to him anymore then I already did.

'Ohh, nachos or chicken strips' I was standing there trying to make up my mind as multiple people were passing me. I couldn't really choose, so I ended up just closing my eyes and grabbing one. 'Yes chicken' I smiled walking away to the topping bar. I could hear my name being called but I ignored it lost in the thought of what to get now.
The first day of Senior year wasn't too bad, I felt really good. 'Maybe if was because I helped two freshmen out today' or 'maybe it's the fact that no one has said nothing yet about the whole situation yet'. I shrugged it off grabbing ketchup and looking around for the ranch.
I spotted the white bottle, I happily grabbed for it but not before it was swiped away. My smiled turned into a frown as I looked up to see Matt standing across from me. I put my hands on the space meant for your lunch trays. I wasn't a patient person and this coming from Matt taking his sweet ass time wasn't helping. "Are you gonna be done today?" I asked looking right across to him cocking my head to the left. He smirked then shook his head. " Not sure , guess you'll have to wait." I could tell he was happy in his response, the way he steadied his arm to go even slower.
He was still pouring the damn bottle of ranch. My head hurt and I wasn't in the best mood, I could feel myself getting heated by the second. I'm not sure why but I felt the urge to grab the ranch right of his hands. His faced turned to me in a snarl. I don't really remember him taking it out of my hand but I sure did feel it once it was all over my head. Laughter came from every angle , as I tried rubbing it out of my eyes so I could see. As I wiped that the ranch off and flicked my hands around to wipe it off , all eyes were on me.
" Damn you know you look better like this." Matt said laughing while saying it barely finishing it. I could hear yelling from teachers already but I wasn't going to go down like this, oh no. I turned around finding my tray which had milk on it. 'Not the best but at least it would do something right ?' I smirked turning around seeing Matt enjoying the attention but as he turned to me I splashed the milk in his face and drenched the rest on his head. At that point food was flying and before I knew it I was being placed in the principles office with this jerk.
\\ end of flashback //
It's been almost an hour and we still haven't been called in. I'm not sure why it's bugging me but it is. I know he is probably talking to our parents, my dad is probably the reason this is taking so long. I can already hear the ' im so disappointed in you Avery ' . He expects so much from me which isn't bad but it's suffocating. I admit, I probably shouldn't have poured the milk back but I was defending myself, kinda.
"Ms.Torres , Mr. Espinosa come in." I looked up at our principle , he was most likely middle age but I could be wrong. His stomach was big but he had chicken legs. The gray hairs were visible , very visible. I jumped up and walked in first with Matt following behind me taking his time. We both sat down in front of the principle's desk. My hands were shaking bad so I tucked them under my thighs.
We were talking about how we shouldn't have done what we done. Basically yelling at us telling us we were horrible kids.
"Of course there will be a consequence for both of you." I leaned in getting eager , I have never had detention or anything like that.
"Avery and Matthew you will both be staying after everyday for a month helping clean." My eyes widened and I slouched my shoulders. 'this was going to be the worst month of my life'. "Isn't that like child labor or something." Matt commented sitting up instead of slouching. The principle explained how stupid that question was and talked for any other twenty minutes.
"I hope you too both leaned your lesson, you're both excused." That was the last thing he said as we both exited. My head was hanging low but not after my name was called. My head shot up seeing a man. ' oh , great he looks just like my dad ' . I started walking over to him. I followed him all the way to the parking lot in the car. It was silent the entire time. As we drove into the driveway he said one thing "I'm so disappointed in you Avery."
