I rocked in the blue plastic chair, sighing. 

"Your uncle will be here any minute" said the secretary. She was a short, middle-aged woman, with frizzy blond hair and thick frame glasses. She was filing her nails while watching a rom-com on her ipad.

They called Tony in for "a little chat". My stomach twisted when I thought about him being mad at me. 

A few second later, the door slammed open and Tony stepped in. He smelled like expensive cologne, he wore a designer suit and smokey sunglasses.

"Good evening" he said to the secretary.

"Good evening, mister Williams" she replied in a flirty tone, which made me feel like throwing up.

Tony came over to me and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. He then gave me a wink and nudged me towards the principal's office's door.

We knocked and entered. The office smelled like leather and plastic, the shelves on the walls were filled with paperwork, trophies and diplomas and the principal's desk laid threateningly in the middle of the room.

"Good evening" said Tony.

"Good evening" I mumbled, sliding my hands into my hoodie's pockets.

"Good evening, please have a seat" the principal spoke. He was a tall man in his sixties, mostly bald, with an arrogant expression painted on his face. He made me very uncomfortable. 

"Now, Hannah, don't worry, this is just a talk, I want to understand what happened" he gave me a fake smile. I returned an even faker one.

We took a seat in the uncomfortable chairs.

"Mr. Williams, are you familiar with the events that took place today in English class?" the principal asked.

"Not really. Catch me up, will you?" Tony said, taking off his sunglasses. I knew he was enjoying this.

"Well, it appears that Hannah had a little... "fit", if you will. She ended up hitting a boy in her class, who was taken to the emergency room".

Tony's eyebrows raised. I knew he was shocked and disappointed. He turned towards me.

"Really?"

I swallowed a lump and decided to explain what happened. Might as well do so, since I didn't regret my actions at all.

"Yeah, I punched him in the nose" I shrugged.

"You broke his nose in 3 places!" the principal raised his voice.

"The jerk grabbed my ass!" I exclaimed.

"He WHAT?" snapped Tony. I saw how much he struggled to stay calm.

"Why didn't you talk to the teacher?" the principal sighed.

"The teacher who sent me here?? He's also just a sexist little-" I started, but Tony stopped me.

"Why is she here, instead of that kid?" asked Tony, visibly angry.

"Hannah was the one who caused physical damage to another student. Don't get me wrong, I contacted his parents, but they made a very good point to justify his actions".

"Oh, well, I can't wait to hear it!" I rolled my eyes.

"Miss Williams!" the principal said again. "The boy was obviously attracted to you, which is understandable, since you violated the school's dress code with your outfit".

"She is wearing jeans and a t-shirt! What do you want her to wear, a potato sack over her head?? " said Tony.

"Sir, please calm down. I was just referring to the fact that Hannah is wearing pretty tight jeans".

"Oh, so now you're looking at my ass?? What a great day, ass-wise!" I snapped.

"Miss Williams, this is your final warning! I will send you home with a dress-code violation and a three day suspension".

"For defending myself against a sexist creep who GROPED ME??? Is that really what you want kids in this school to learn? You shouldn't even be a principal, since you're too damn stupid to understand BASIC SEXUAL RIGHTS!" I yelled, leaning over his desk. "Good day, sir" I said, leaving the office and slamming the door.

The air outside was too hot, the cars were too noisy and my head too heavy. I collapsed on a bench and pulled out my phone. I got a lot of texts from my friends.

((Note: Peter, Ned, Hannah and MJ are the biggest nerds ever. Their Whatsapp group's name is "Baron Fluorine Fluorine", 'cause it spells BFF in periodic table elements😁))

It was getting dark outside and my stomach clenched in fear. What if I got kidnapped again? My heart started pounding in my ears and my legs started shaking. 

I heard the school's front door open and startled. When I saw Tony's face, my heart skipped a beat. Was he mad? Was I getting expelled? I gave him a questioning look.

"Well, a little of this, a little of that, a little of the charm aux Tony Stark and you're not even getting suspended".

A huge smile appeared on my face.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I jumped up. "But, uh... are you mad at me?"

"Why the hell would I be mad, you badass kiddo?? I'm just sad I didn't get to punch the guy, too".

I laughed.

"Thanks, Tony".
