She saw Mari with a look of pure fear as the principal took pictures of her bare body.

"no." Kc said to herself. She walked in and took off her blazer and draped it over Mari's shoulders.
She stood in front of her defensively.
Mari put on her under clothes.

"You're not going to touch her again." Kc said. "I'll make sure of that."
"Come on Mari." Kc said picking her up bridal style and grabbing her stuff as they leave his office.

"You just did that?" Mari asked.

"Yeah. I did. Because unlike you. I have a functioning heart and know when to let specific things go. That was one of those times." Kc said and shrugged. "Do you wanna go home?"

Mari nodded. Kc carried her to her truck.

"Mari." She said.

"Yes." Mari said.

"How long?"

"Since freshman year."

"He's been doing this to you for years?! And you haven't said shit?" Kc screamed getting upset.

"Karma Cassidy. Please don't yell at me right now." Mari said as she snuggled into Kc's baggy blazer. Kc's rage softened at the president's vulnerability.

"What's your address?"Kc asked more calm.

"I live in the very back of Oakland trails." She said.

"You live in that huge ass house? Damn!" Kc said. "Sorry."

"It's fine." Mari said.

"I'm sorry. For what I said earlier. I was pissed off and it was uncalled for." Kc said.

"Its alright."

Shay was running around the school looking for Kc.

"Shay. Where is Kc?"

"I don't know! She wouldn't ever skip a practice especially because of the tournament coming up. She has to have a good reason for not showing up."

"She better."

Shay looked at the door with a sad look.
"Come on kayce." She whispered under her breath.

Kc was still driving to Mari's house.

" you're going to tell your dad about this. Right?" Kc asked her in monotone.

"No."

"Why not?" Kc asked her.

"I hate it when people worry about me."

Kc pulled over and took off her seatbelt.
She turned towards the president and grabbed her hands.

"Mari. I know you hate this. But I'm worried about you. If you don't tell anyone about this, it could happen again. And I don't want that to happen to you again." Kc said looking into the presidents' hazel eyes.
Mari bit her lip and let go of Kc's hands as a blush creeped on to her face.
She shifted closer to the door and snuggled into Kc's blazer.

Kc nodded and returned to driving. She drove to the presidents' house.

"My mom's not home." Mari said. She put both of her shoes back on and started to take off Kc's blazer.
Kc stopped her.

"Just give it to me Monday." Kc said.

"Are you sure?" Mari asked her.

"Yeah. I can see that it makes you feel different. What is the feeling Mari?"

"Safety." Mari said and hugged it.

"Glad I make you feel safe boss." Kc said to her with a smile.
