Tapout

Chapter.17.I Hate Having a Vagina.

Riley's Point of View.

"Here you go Doug." I placed the coffee on his desk and though he tries to hide it for a few seconds he ends up chuckling along with Lucas. What's so funny?

"Thank you Ms. Matthews, but stop going into our teacher's lounge." Lucas smirks before taking the chair furthest from the door. While I take the seat in the center, just so I can be by Charlie. He'll really love that. The door creeps open and there's an innocent smile on Charlie's face... until he sees me.

I grin wildly, poor thing is shaking in his boots. "What's up Gardner? Have a seat." I tap on the black leather of the chair next to me and after some persuasion - or demand - from Principal Harvey he finally enters the room. Looking worse than I did, "pansy." I whisper and inhale deeply in an effort to keep my composure. Why the hell is his arm in a sling?

"Mr. Gardner I assume you know why you're here." Doug announces while placing his hands on the desk in front of him. So serious.

I feel a cold stare on the left side of my face, without even so much as glancing at him, I snap, "Don't glare at me. Not my fault you drugged me, got what you had coming, and then jumped me on school grounds." Doug is trying to interrupt me, but me being well... me, I have to get in one more word. "Blame your parents for your stupidity."

"Ms. Matthews." But wait, there's more. Inwardly I laugh, because in my head I said that in my game show host voice. 

"Also Charlie, I could take your ass to jail. You're 18, so be glad we're here and not in a precinct."

"Ms. Matthews! Enough!" Groan. 

I felt Sparky grab for my hand and I graciously accepted the endearment before fixating my stare on Charlie. "Sorry Doug, please continue." He doesn't try to correct me anymore, even though he hates that I do this in front of people, that's evident enough by his 'sighs'.

"Charlie unfortunately she's right, you could go to jail for assault, and attempted sexual assault and you unfortunately made an even bigger mistake by doing the physical assault on school grounds." Dough gives him this look of 'are you an idiot', yes. The answer is, yes. Principal Harvey brushes his fingers across his beard. "So here's the deal, give me the names of the other 4 people who participated and I won't expel you, you'll get suspended for 2 months."

Like a flash of lightning, he stands out of his chair. His face along with his breathing pattern is fueled by anger. "THAT'LL RUIN MY GPA!"

I shrug my shoulders and smirk while glancing at my boy toy who is biting his lip in an effort not to laugh. "You should've thought about that before you decided to attack on school grounds. You better be glad I'm even offering you that deal, look at Ms. Matthews. Look at what you did! She's a lady." No I'm not, I cringe at the thought before glancing down to my legs that are wide open. Even though I'm wearing jeans, I hesitantly cross them while Sparky gives me a knowing look. He's so devilishly handsome, while holding eye contact he brings my hand up to his lips and kisses my knuckles lightly. 

That's when I zero back in on the conversation. "LOOK AT ME!"

"Oh dry it up Gardner, don't attack and expect not to get some sort of injuries and, or repercussions." Seriously, is he that much of a naive fool? 

"My arm is broken, my nose is broken and I have bruised ribs and something to do with my windpipe." He explains.

Throwing my head back, my body shakes with laughter. "FROM ME?! I am one person, ONE! I only got a fracture and bruised ribs from five guys. Count it." I hold up my hand and wave it in front of his face. "Five, you arrogant prick. Get your life together."
