Italics - Thoughts

After the events of the night before: Rachel starting a forest fire and (Y/N) having metallic claws and a regenerative ability. Chloe and Rachel were naturally curios about (Y/N)'s abilities, but even he himself didn't know the origins of his abilities, he just suddenly had them.

The next day, we see (Y/N) and Rachel with her parents, James and Rose Amber, inside of Principal Wells office in Blackwell Academy. Suddenly, Joyce and Chloe walk into Wells' office.

Wells: "Ms. Price. How good of you to join us."

Joyce: "I'm so sorry we're late. My—my shift ran late at the diner and then...just, sorry."

Wells: "Let us proceed. One of you here is new to the Blackwell disciplinary system process...and the others are all too familiar with it. Blackwell's code of conduct is built upon a foundation of mutual respect meant to foster an environment conducive to education and enrichment. When that respect is violated, actions are taken. When that respect is repeatedly disregarded, a more consequential response is required."

Y/N: Blah, blah, blah. This damn alcoholic is annoying.

Chloe: Okay, reality check time. Yesterday did actually happen. I ditched school with (Y/N) and Rachel Amber. And then Rachel really did start that fire, and (Y/N) has superpowers, like metallic blades in his knuckles as well as regeneration...and this all happens after we actually agreed to run away from here...right?

Wells: "Are you paying attention to me, Chloe?"

Chloe: "Um...what?"

Wells: "Ms. Price, the last time we met, an agreement was brokered. Do you recall what that was?"

Chloe: "Uh, don't get in trouble again?"

Wells: "Trouble is merely the byproduct, Ms. Price. What's at issue is your attitude. As for you, Mr. (L/N), we have had meetings about your attitude as well. Witnesses saw that interaction between you and Drew North. If my memory serves me right, we clearly talked about not getting into anymore fights and/or altercations with other students."

Y/N: "Yet they are gonna be completely oblivious to what happened before that altercation? Drew was clearly picking on Nathan Prescott, I was only doing what was right..."

Wells: "And for that action, that I cannot agree or deny, I thank you. Though, the way you were handling the altercation, according to the witnesses, does not represent the agreements we made... Anyways, we agreed that the both of you would rededicate yourselves to become an exemplary Blackwell citizen."

Chloe: "We did?"

Wells: "In the event that either of you were unable or unwilling to do so, we also agreed that it would become pertinent to reassess your future status at the academy. Despite all this, you both engaged in the following actions yesterday: Insubordinate language, implications of possible drug-related activities."

Joyce: "What does that mean?"

Chloe: "Yes, what does that mean?"

Wells: "It means Ms. Price has developed a reputation as a user of marijuana, and I would strongly recommend you take a careful look through her room. Fortunately, in Mr. (L/N)'s case, he has not shown any implications that he abuses drugs... Shall I continue? Back to the altercation between Ms. Price, Mr. (L/N), and Mr. North, the witnesses did say that you two were involved in bullying Nathan Prescott."

Chloe: "The hell I was! We stood up for that little weirdo."

Y/N: "Didn't even thank us for that."

Wells: "I suppose that's one interpretation of events."
