Beyond The Frat (Bradley Uppercrust III fanfic)

The Principal's Office

"Shut up and sit down!" Mr. Uppercrust yelled at his son. Bradley looked down at the ground, immediately getting quiet and sinking more into his seat. He was still in his X Games skating uniform. They were in the principal's office, and Bradley's father was sitting across the desk from the principal, while Bradley was sitting behind his father. He had a black eye that was swollen shut, and it started throbbing relentlessly. Bradley also had other injuries, mostly cuts and bruises from the X Games. The principal cleared his throat to bring the attention back to him.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Uppercrust, on such short notice. You see, your son Bradley here has caused quite a bit of trouble." Mr. Uppercrust glanced over in his son's direction as the principal continued. Bradley wasn't looking at him, but he could feel his father's eyes. It felt like knives piercing him. "He has violated fraternity rules and damaged property not only to school property but also the X Games property and equipment. Not to mention staff and students of the school and X Games."

Mr. Uppercrust reached into his vest. He pulled out a checkbook and pen, chuckling lightly about the events the principal shared with him regarding his son's misdeeds, as if he wasn't fazed by the situation. "I am sure you are a reasonable man, Mr. Princeton. What's your price? Let's make a deal." Mr. Uppercrust placed his checkbook and pen on the table, ready to write while he gave a friendly and welcoming smile. The principal leaned forward, conflicted with a hint of interest, and that's when Mr. Uppercrust knew he was interested. "Bradley, go wait outside." he said while his smile turned into a slight smirk.

Bradley quickly got up and left the room to sit in the main office, not looking back at the two men. Bradley felt exposed. He lost everything, and he knew it. He really did something finally irreversible to his reputation.
