I heard Pappy Jo open the door. I could hear the officer talking to him but couldn't make out the words. I heard the door shut and Lucas pounding up the stairs pappy jo stopped him before he could go into his room. "Lucas. You know this isn't how to handle this situation. You have learned to be better" Lucas replied with the same tone I had heard since his dad's appointment almost 24 hours ago. "You don't know anything about me" for the first time ever I heard anger enter the older mans tone "and what happened tonight is you? You're a vandal now?" "It was just one school" "maybe it is, but that's enough to ruin all of the scholarships that you have going for you here. You have to think things through Lucas" "you're one to talk" "We are not talking about me right now, Lucas friar. We are talking about you" Lucas snorted in annoyance "what goes through your head when you get like this? What would make you think vandalizing a school is okay?" "You will never understand" however Lucas' tone implied he wasn't going to give Pappy Jo a chance to understand. Heavy steps that could only belong to Lucas descended the stairs. I came out of my room to see pappy Jo still standing outside of Lucas' room. I put a comforting hand on his shoulder "I'll go talk to him" "thank you, maya" I nodded and went after Lucas
