The Girl With The Red Converse

19: Expelled

Mark was eating a sandwich when Lyn slammed the door shut. Surprised by this, she screamed and the sandwich made it's way down to the floor.

"What are you doing?" Mark asked with her mouth full.

"I think I was followed," Lyn was panting a little. She picked the sandwich up and called 5 second rule while taking a bite of it.

"First, ew. Second, how do you know?" Mark wondered.

"Well, I'm pretty sure there isn't supposed to be a camera flash whenever I turn around," Lyn said.

"Well, we have to talk to the principal about this, like right now," Mark said dragging Lyn with her to the office.

Mark pushed open the door to the office while walking past the secretary.

"Ms. Mark, the principal is busy, right now," Ms. Muneio put down her phone while trying to stop the two.

"Sorry, but this is very important and I need to speak to him now," Mark stated swinging the principal's office door open.

The principal stood up from his desk. "What are you two doing in here?" He asked.

"Sir, I'm sorry to intrude, but I have a very serious problem that I need to bring up that could involve the police," Mark stated.

Lyn's eyes traveled to the girl and the two adults sitting down in front of the desk. It was Michelle and most likely her parents.

"Well, I am currently dealing with something right now that does involve the police," Principal Paruolo stated, gesturing to Michelle.

"Oh okay, carry on then," Mark said, staying in the room.

"Would you please step out of the room for a moment?" The principal kindly asked.

"No can do, sir. With all due respect, I was a witness to the scene, so I believe I have some input on the case," Mark stated. "I also happen to be Michelle's classmate and I would like to know that I am safe in the school. Many know that both Lyn and I are close friends to Seventenn who were the reason that Y from YKR was attacked. Who is to say that Michelle would not come after me next?"

The principal rubbed his temples and thought for a moment. "Okay, okay, fine."

He turned to Michelle. "Ms. Liu, I'm sure you are aware that this school is a school that only takes in students that exceed in their audition to get in and that do well in general. This school is not a school that you are zoned to go to. All students are aware of the strict, one strike rule. One strike and you're out. We can not in any circumstance have students that stoop to this low and continue through this program.

"Overall, I'm saying that Michelle Liu. You have been expelled from Korican High School of the Artistically Inclined and Talented, effective now," Principal Paruolo stated.

Michelle started bawling and covered her face."Please, give me one more chance."

"Yeah, I know my Michelle is kind deep down and that she isn't like this," Michelle's mom hugged Michelle and pleaded.

"I'm sorry, but rules are rules and it would be wrong to give Michelle one more chance if I didn't give the other expelled students other chances. She now has a criminal record, too, so it won't look good for the school, either. I don't want to blow this ordeal out of proportion. Your daughter will have to transferred back to her zoned school," He stated.

"Sir, I own I company and I'm was going to donate a large sum of money to the school tomorrow, but now with this, I'm not so sure," Michelle's father stated.

"I'm not to sure about-" the principal was cut off by the sound of Mark's fake coughing.

"Oh would you look at that. Mr. Paruolo, you have quite a lot of news article about YKR here. My friend told me that they raised 529,000 dollars during only August till January which is only 4 months. And they've been what here for 15? 16 months. So that would be 4 times that amount. Sorry, don't mean to interrupt," Mark said.

"Mr. Liu, I'm sure the school will appreciate your kind donation. Michelle," Principal Paruolo said, causing Michelle to brighten up a bit.

"Please give my secretary, Ms. Muneio, your school id on the way out and you can get your things from your locker tomorrow. Your teachers will transfer your grades to your new school. Thank you and have a good day," Mr. Paruolo opened the door for them and the family left.

The sound of crying could be heard from the closed office doors.

"Now, how can I be of assistance?" He asked with a smile.
