VAUGHN
Was I nervous for my meeting with the superintendent today?

Fuck yes.

I was worried that when I walked out of that building I would no longer be a student of Callister.And that would definitely crush my dreams.

I did go far but I hope that the superintendent and the board can see that I was doing it for the greater good of Callister's future.

The more I continued to hype myself up about this situation the more I realized that it would be Callister's loss if they expelled me.

Im a great artist.
I'm at the top of my class.
And I'm hot.

That's a major loss to all of Callister.

But there was nothing I could do.I got up,and gave Lake a quick kiss and a I love you.I took a shower and put on some jeans and button down before i walked to the front office.

The superintendent would usually be at the district house in downtown London in his office.But He wanted to meet in the headmasters office.

Funny isn't it.
I was going to meet him at the very place that everything ended for the previous headmaster.

I got there fairly quickly and when I got there I had the front desk lady greeting me.

She gives me a nod and I mentally grunt.God fuck he is here to expel me.

She always gave me a smile and a nice little morning greeting but it was nothing.Did she know something I don't?

No I completely hyped myself up the whole way here and I wasn't going back down now.

I knock on the door and I hear a 'come in'.I walk into the office and see him sitting down at the desk.

Some things were getting cleaned off the previous headmaster's desk so there were boxes in the corner.

He looks up and says"Right on time".

I nod my head and sit down."Before we beginning is there something you would like to say?".

Oh fuck,he is DEFINITELY expelling me.

"I know you know about me changing my grade to get in here.My dad told me he told you"."Yes I know that".

"I just wanted to say that ever since I was a little boy Ive always wanted to go to Callister.I dreamed about it and when it had the opportunity of happening,I fucked-I mean I messed it up.I didn't know what to do with myself if I didn't go to Callister.My hand of cards were all against me.So I played a new hand,and yes this new hand wasn't exactly..the most moral just thing to do.But I did it.And I don't have any regrets".

He blinks slowly before nodding his head."Thank you for that.But I already made a decision about that yesterday".

Oh fuck me.

He crosses his hands in the desk and looks at me seriously."I'm not expelling you,Mr.Carrington".

My eyes go wide and I say "You're not?"."Given the fact that you might have saved the reputation of Callister with what you did yesterday,It kinda outweighed it to the board".

"So..So what am I doing here?".

He smirks and says"Your father has told me that you seem to have a plan for everything.So who would you put as the next headmaster of Callister?".

"Nadia Hassan-Moreau"I say in a heartbeat.

His eyes widen and he says "Nadia?Why her and not her wife?".

"Because my Aunt Nadia came to Callister as a legacy of a Hassan and Not Carrington.And I'm sure you have witnessed the era of my great-great mother,Thera Hassan.The way she brought a failing Callister Academy to greatness?".

He smirks and says"All too well.No one will teach like her.Or lead this school better".

"I'm sure her granddaughter will.My Aunt Nadia is determined and truly cares for Callister.Not the Carrington family".

He gives me a thoughtful look and says "This is interesting.I never even thought to ask Nadia for the position.You have given me much to think about Vaughn".

I nod my head and he stands up.He walks across the desk and leans on it.

"As for your..hacking into Callister files,That is the last and final time you do that understood?It didn't take the board much to convince them to not expel you.But if you are to do it again I will have nothing to help you with.You will simply be on your own to fight that battle".

Yikes,I've learned that once the  London School board has made up their mind about something,it's very rare that they change it unless absolutely necessary.

"I will be sure to not get on their bad side,Sir".

He nods his head and walks back over to his seat."You are dismissed.I hope that you accomplish great things here at Callister like your relatives have Vaughn".

"Thank you Sir"."I see a bright future ahead of you.Don't give that up to cause more problem than need be".

I nod my head and stand up.I walk out of the office and outside to see my friends..no my family waiting for me.

"So?"Jaiden says eagerly.

My throw one of my signature smiles and say"Vaughn Carrington is off the hook".

They all cheer and Lake pulls me in a tight hug.

"Oh fuck I don't even want to thing about what would've happened if you got expelled.Aunt Knox and Aunt Jade would've never let that happen"Zoe says.

I smile and say "Don't worry.He was actually happy of my bravery and courage..Of course I got a final warning about hacking into Callister database but hey..It was for the greater good?".

Lake hits my shoulder and says"Do not do that again"."Alright I promise".

She nods her head and Jaiden smirks."I think we should celebrate this amazing achievement.How about we go to the diner and get milkshakes.My treat"Clay says casually.

"Yes make her pockets hurt!"Zoe says.

I roll my eyes and let Lake drag me to the car.

I don't know when it will be a good time to tell Zoe that I recommended her mom to be the next headmaster.

I mean sure she was with us when I brought it to Aunt Nadia attention.But saying you will do and getting recommended to do it..that's two very different things.

If anything my suggestion could really put her mother up there on being the next headmaster.

I know Zoe said that she has no problem with her mother becoming the headmaster..I just hope that it wasn't just all words to make me feel better.

Because I'm 90% sure that Nadia Hassan-Moreau will be our next headmaster.

Hmm what a new Callister Era we are about to get into.
