I made my way to the entrance of the school. The principal had called me in and I was nervous. Was it one of the kids or did I do something? I shook it off and told the seceratary what I was there for.

"Ma'am. Andrew punched a student." The principal told me.

My jaw must have been in my lap. No.. My sweet little Andrew? He couldn't of done said thing.

"There must be a mis-" I was cut off.

"No Mrs. Hale. Andrew admitted to it earlier this morning. There is no mistake." She said.

I sucked in a breath.

"Do you know what for?" I asked.

"Yes, actually. He admitted that as well. A student referred to his father as a... And I quote.. 'Cheating dog child abandoner.' This was said because of him telling a close friend and the friend spread the issue." She said.

"Are you having troubled at home Mrs. Hale?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"No.. Not really. Yes my now ex husband cheated and we divorced. But he left the children behind."

I said, rubbing my thumb over the back of my hand.

"I see. Well I will have to suspend Andrew for a week for his actions. I will have his teachers send home his work with his brother. Yes?" She asked.

"Yes." I said.

She nodded and made a phone call as I walked out of the office, and Andrew followed me outside.

"Wanna tell me what's up?"

I asked and he twiddled his thumbs.

"Well I came home crying and Mike was sitting there. I told him what kids were saying and he gave me advice.." He murmured.

My eyes turned to slits.

Mike has been staying with us off and on, bonding with the kids extremely well, might I add.

"What did he say?"

I asked him in a low tone.

"To first tell the kid to stop and if he didn't, defend myself... I asked how and... Yah."

He cleared his throat and kept looking down at his lap.

"Thank you for being honest."

I said after some silence. He nodded. What I really wanted to say was wait until I get my hands on Mike later after he comes home from work.

"Am I not in trouble since I was honest?" He asked.

"Ha funny little man. I want your bike in the garage with a padlock for the next week."

He whined at this but I gave him a stern look in the rearview mirror.

Later on, I was cooking dinner when the front door opened.

"Mike!"

The kids cheered and hugged him. I almost smiled at the scene but then remembered I am mad at him. They soon went back to their homework. Mike came up to me for a kiss but I moved away, focusing on the spaghetti sauce.

"What's the matter?"

He grabbed my butt but I slapped his hand away.

"Nothing Michael." I growled.

He scoffed.

"Yah right." He said.

I set down the ladle and spun around to face him.
