Contrast (Being Rewritten)

Chapter 53

Carmen

Oh, hell no. I was dead meat. I sit in a chair, stone still, completely appalled by the events that had transpired. I look over to my right to see Trevor sporting a nosebleed-he had already gone through five tissues that had all been soaked with blood. Jordan, who sat on the other side of Trevor, his hand covered in bandages and he held an ice pack to his eye- the fork had barely made it past the upper layer of his skin, so there hadn't been much damage there. I had a wet rag that I used to wipe blood away from the side of my mouth every few minutes- I had biten the side of my cheek.

Finally the door to the Principal Oak's office swung open, and the moment I had been desperately hoping to avoid had come. Oak sauntered in with Willow tailing behind her. Willow had her head tilted down like normal, but because her hair was in a ponytail it didn't cover her face like normal. She had her hands clasped tightly behind her back. I feel the need to bury my head in my hands; just when I thought things could not get any worse. "Sit," Oak commanded. Willow went to sit in the only chair left, but hesitated when she noticed that the only seat next was next to Jordan.

"Is there a problem, Miss Grace?" Oak questioned when she saw Willow was reluctant to sit. Willow shook her head violently before falling into the chair. Obviously, Oak scared the shit out of Willow. So much that Willow had turned pale, was fidgeting, and refused to look Oak in the eye. As of for me, the Principal's office was like a home away from home. I was probably in here so much that when Oak walked in she probably expected to see me there.

But this time was different. I mean, I had stabbed someone with a fork.

"Well, Carmen," Oak starts. I am pretty sure that I am the only student she is around enough to address by their first name, just like I have no issue calling her by just 'Oak.' "I have no idea where to begin. Not only did you assault another student, but you started a huge fight in the cafeteria. That had to be the biggest scene I have ever witnessed at this school!"

"Aww, thanks Oak. I'm flattered," I try to hide the fear of expulsion in a joke.

"Carmen, this is no joking matter. You attacked another student!"

"Jordan attacked two though! Why am I the one getting picked on?" I fold my arms over my chest.

"Carmen, please," Oak begs.

"You STABBED me with a FORK!" Jordan yells. "What the fuck did you expect me to do? Hand you a sticker and say thank you!"

"That would've been a nice gesture," I point out.

"Carmen, this is not the time," Willow pleads.

"Jordan, you got into a fight with a girl. Where is your dignity?" Trevor joins into the disagreement.

"It would be wise of you all to cease your fighting immediately!" Oak tries again to put out the flame of our bickering, but her trying was a failure.

"He has no dignity because it is exactly where he left it; at Cody's party where he turned into a jealous bastard-" the words had barely left my mouth.

"CARMEN!" Jordan jumped up and shoved Trevor off his seat before running towards me.

"Carmen!" Willow yells, standing up but not really doing anything because Oak was watching her.

"Jesus Jordan, was that really necessary?" Trevor asks as he stands back up.

"ENOUGH!" Oak yells.

"Ohh, great..." I whisper. And just like that, the fight had begun again.
