Blood Stains

family

Garrett sat in the discipline office holding a bag of ice to his eye. The blood around his nose already dried and starting to flake.

He the assistant principal came out and pointed at him.

"You're going to the principal."

The officer grabbed Garrett's forearm pulling him away.

Garrett sighed slumping in the seat the handcuffs starting to hurt his wrist.

"Can you loosen these up a bit?" He asked the officer

"No." But the officer and principal said.

His mom rushed in her stray hairs falling in her face. " I'm sorry I had to find someone Willing to cover my shift."

"I understand."

Felicia looked at Garrett's battered and bruised face.

"Why's he in handcuffs?" Felicia asked

"He started a fight in which the other kid needed to be hospitalized." The principal sighed.

Felicia sat in the seat next to Garrett.

"Garrett has been suspended for 3 weeks." The principal started.

"He will be facing charges of assault, and the parents of the other kid is filing a restraining order."

Felicia sighed letting her hair down and running her fingers through the curly mess.

"I know garrett, did you ask for his side of the story?" Felicia asked.

"No, but."

"Well garrett tell us your side." Felicia said turning to Garrett.

"He was bothering Carm." Garrett sighed putting the ice back on his eye.

"Who?" She asked looking sternly at him

"Layden." Garrett sneered. "The prick was harassing her, he grabbed her."

The principal picked up the phone quickly speaking into the phone. Moments later Carmen walked into the room her messenger bag falling off her shoulder.

"Hey guys." She sighed sitting on the other side of Garrett.

"Really? Cuffs?" She asked pointing at Garrett's handcuffs.

"You three, obviously have stuff to sort out. " the principal said rising from his seat.

Carmen muttered things under her breath as she rushed down the hall to her last class of the day. She forcefully pushed open the door. It slamming against the wall. The few classmates she had looked at her.

"What?" She asked

Everyone returned to their own projects. Carmen grabbed her workbooks and taking a seat on the floor in the corner of the room.

"What's wrong carm?" Bunny asked taking a seat next to her.

"Turns out Layden sent a few of the pics of me to his friends and they sent it around." Carmen told her as she angrily did her work.

"Well, at least your hot." Bunny sighed resting her head on Carmen's shoulder.

"Yeah." Carmen began to cry "it's on Facebook, and Instagram, and everything."

Bunny pulled Carmen into a hug as Carmen cried.

Carmen walked into the station. She walked up to the desk.
