Luke's POV:
It's been over an hour since Ell beat the shit out of Chelsea. Where is she? She can't possibly be in that much trouble. If I had gotten in a fight, my consequence would only be a warning.
The bell interrupts my thoughts and everyone starts storming out the classroom. I throw my things carelessly into my bag and run to the office. I open the door to find the secretary typing away on her computer. "Where is she?" I say flatly.
She looks up, taking in my appearance, and then back down to her desk, grabbing a sheet of paper.
"Your name please."
"Lucas Hemmings, but I really need to s-"
"Please take a seat and wait until your name is called."
"But I-"
"Sit. Down." She says without raising her voice, threatening, yet still calm.
Unwillingly, I grabbed a seat by the window. I sat, tapping my foot and playing with my hands; waiting.
What the fuck?
I'm Luke Hemmings- I wait for no one.
I stand up from my seat, so suddenly, it hits the wall.
"I TOLD YOU TO SIT D-" The secretary stands up, ready to burst.
"LISTEN, YOU SAD SACK OF BURGERS, I DON'T LIVE BY YOUR RULES. I LIVE BY MINE; AND MY RULES SAY, YOU NEED TO SIT THE BLOODY HELL DOWN."
Slowly, she lowers back into her chair.
I start walking around the office, searching.
I see a long hall then a door that read, 'Principal Locke'. I barge into the room to see Ellicity and Bruised Chelsea in two seats with Mr. Locke behind his desk.
Ellicity's POV:
"Luke? Why are you here?"
Luke ignores my question, and walks right in front of Mr. Locke's desk.
"You have some nerve! Bringing her here for, what was it again? Chelsea, may I ask you, why is Ellicity here?" He asks Chelsea with a look of confidence.
"She was being such a bit-"
"Language Miss!"
Chelsea rolls her eyes then pops her gum. "As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted, she insulted me then I defended myself, then she punched me, simple as that."
Before words could escape from my lips, Luke was already speaking, "If you check security cameras, you can clearly see Chelsea approaching Elli on a daily basis with threats and insults. In a quite silly way, that is what most would consider bullying. The one time she defends herself, she gets thrown under the bus for it. I guess this school wants to promote bullying now. You know what? We can sue the school for this. Ell, would you like to sue?"
"Well I-"
"Fantastic! I'll see you in court, Scott."
Luke grabs my hand and leads me to the door.
"What the hell just happened?" Chelsea hisses.
"Can we make a deal? One month of detention?"
Luke's hand hovers over the door knob for one moment, then turns around.
"Make it a week, and you've got yourself a deal."
I just stand there, shocked as much as Chelsea was.
"It's done. As for your actions against Miss Edwards, you will be assisting Janitor Sky for the next month for your punishment."
Chelsea's mouth gaped open, probably a usual thing for her.
I turn to Luke. "Let's go babe." He smiles down at me victoriously, pulling me out the door with him.
