"How are you doing sweetie?" She asks with a concerned frown on her face.
She's staring at me as if she just found out the worst thing about me. Anxiety begins to rise inside of me, not only with what Jude said but just by the look on her face.
"Fine." I replied so she could get to the point.
She sighs, leaning in with a sigh. Her elbows rest on her desk and she takes off her glasses, putting them on her desk. I noticed how she shut the door on the way here.
"I know you are quite popular per say, rumors go around, it's usual teenage behavior. You're a good student, I can see that." She begins.
"What is this about?" I ask when she lacks to tell me.
"I had an anonymous message saying that you have been bullying another student." Mrs, Porter gives me a disappointed look.

"There's a video Annalise, the proof is all there. I'm sorry but I have to take necessary actions." It looks as if it pains her to say but she really didn't have to do this.
"But I don't-"
"I'm sorry to say that you will be expelled for ten days as well as lose your athletics privileges. This kind of behavior is not acceptable. I was shocked to say the least by what I saw, you should take your time of leave to reflect on everything." She says seriously.
