A Lustful Life To live

Chapter Five

"Mona. On your fist day, really?" Mr. Donahue says as he leads me into the waiting area of the office.

"It wasn't my fault." I say quickly, for the 10th time.

"Sit." He says sternly, pointing down to a free chair, I let out a gusted breath as I look to the only other 2 people in the room.

two guys.

Who I could only guess were 'Chris and Westly.' The two guys who fought.

I sit down, folding my arms and legs as  I watch Mr. Donahue go into his office. "What Happened?" The older lady who worked behind the front desk asked. I remembered Anna calling her 'Mrs. Hannah.'

"This girl poured milk all over me. I Wasn't going to let her get away with it." I said, aggravated.

Mrs. Hannah looks tom and then to two guys who were spaced 5 seats apart. "Blonde girl?" Mrs. Hannah asks.

"Her Name's Chelsea." I say

She nods as if she expected it, "Mhm." She shakes her head. "I'm starting to see a pattern." She then adds, looking away from the two guys behind me.

"Can I give you some advice, Mrs. Burns." She says.

"Sure." I shrug, sinking in my seat a bit, My shirt was damp and I was beginning to smell of milk.

"Don't. get involved with CHELSEA NELSON." She says as if she was tired of saying it. "goes for you two, aswell." She says, pointing back towards the boys. I look back to them, momentarily. They both sat with 'Mad' exhausted faces, The one with black hair was developing a black eye and the one with blonde had a buster lip.

After a couple of silent beats pass, Mr. Donahue's door opens, he motions for me to come in, "C'mon Mona." He announced.

I stand, walking in behind him, taking a seat in his familiar office, in the family chairs in front of hi desk.

"Tell me what happened." He says annoyed.

I huff, ready to repeat my recurring argument 'I didn't start it.' but then my eyes landed on a picture that stood on a shelf behind his desk.

A family picture.

Complete with Mr. Donahue himself, A lady who I presumed to be his wife, and then.... Chelsea-and-Jace.

were they his kids?

I was totally about to rat his daughter, would he even hear me out or did he play favorites; thinking his kids are saints?

hmm. I thought over my options. This was going to go one of two ways, I could either rat on his daughter and let him know how much of a 'bitchy mean girl' she is and he's either going to believe me and call his daughter down and punish her- Or.. He's going to call his daughter down and she's going to deny everything and he's going to believe every single word she says.

Im guessing the 2nd one.

I'll take the blame. But I'm letting Chelsea off that easy.

I took a deep breath, "Im Sorry. I started it." I said looking down into my lap, Mr. Donahue sighs, "Look, Mona. I know it's tough coming to a new school in the middle of the year, you want to be known, you want to make friends. but this outrageous behavior Is not the way to do it." He speaks, All I do is nod my head.

"Since you're new, and im hoping this Is your first and last time in my office, I'll let you off easy. You'll stay after school today; and you'll clean the cafeteria- and if I remember correctly: at your old school you were recognized for putting together a fundraising foundation that took place at your dances?" Mr. Donahue says.
