Masquerade

Chapter 10

Iris' POV:

"I'm guessing you three already know why you're here."

Iris, Nate, and the guy who got knocked out were at the principal's office. Iris has been there a couple of times, but she was sure that non off them were bad. To her and Nate, this was a first.

"May I remind you three that violence is not tolerated at this school." Mrs. Johnson says. "And right now you three just broke that rule."

The three were silent.

"Can someone tell me what happened? Iris, pehaps?" She asks.

"Well," she starts. "If you want to know the whole story, ask Nate and the douche bag who tried to hit on my sister."

The guy glares at Iris, not doing such a good job at it because of his black eye.

"Mam," Nate starts. "The douche bag tried to hit on my girlfriend. I just gave him what he deserved."

"Hey, I didn't know she was your girlfriend." The guy barges in.

"Shut your trap, asswipe. That doesn't change the fact you assulted her." Iris scowls.

"Enough!" Mrs. Johnson shushes. "Iris, please watch your language."

Iris raises her hands up in defeat.

"Now, I've decided on your punishments." She says, pointing to Nate and the guy.

"Wait-what about her?" The guy asks the principal.

"Iris, over here, already does community service over my word. She doesn't need the punishment, Mr. Reynolds." She explains.

Nate looks at Iris, 'You do?' He mouths.
'What do you think I do on saturdays?' She mouths back. He nods slowly, realizing.

"But she knocked me out! Doesn't she get punishment for that?" Reynolds guy exclaims.

"Listen, douche bag, if you want me not to hurt you just get a restraining order from the sheriff." Iris huffs.

"Maybe I will." Reynolds says sternly.

"Oh, I'm so scared." She rolles her eyes.

"Iris." The principal warns. She zips her lips and keeps quiet after that.

"Back to the punishments, both of you boys will be having detention for today. If I hear any more fights, it'll be no more prom for you two."

Nate and Reynolds nod. She dissmissed the three of them. Once they were out of the office, Hazel came dashing to Iris and Nate.

"Oh my gosh, what did happened?" She asks us. Reynolds moves away from them, heading back to his locker.

"Well, the douche bag who tried to hit on you is getting me a restraining order." She starts. "And he and Nate have detention today."

Hazel turns to Nate. "You gonna be okay there, babe?"

"I will, potato, I'll just go to your house to check on you after."

Hazel nods and leans to give him a kiss.

"Not to be rude or anything, but I'm still here." Iris reminds them.

Her sister pulls away from him amd mutters a sorry. The three of them get to class.

Hazel's POV:

The committe had a very busy day the same day. People were divided again to finish the lanterns, the centre pieces and the fountain. For the fountain, they were already done with the main scuplture, which was the girl and boy dancing and the base of the fountain. Hazel was currently helping people make the lanterns.
