{CONTINUATION OF CHAP. TWELVE}
Andre, Makena, and I were seated with Mrs. Robinson. We were bleeding, our clothes were wrinkled, our hair was wilding. The three of us looked a mess.
Mrs. Robinson exhaled. "You should all be ashamed."
"He started it." Makena stated. "He threatened and attacked her."
Andre scoffed and shook his head. He acted like he was innocent, what a damn dickhead.
Mrs. Robinson looked to me. "Is this true, Ms. Castro?"
"Yes, ma'am." I answered. "I even have a recording." Makena added, taking her cell out. Her screen was cracked. "That recording's fake." Andre said, seeking to save himself.
Mrs. Robinson snubbed him, held the cell, and watched the recording.
"These females tricked me, Mrs. Robinson." Andre stated. "It was self defense."
Mrs. Robinson shook her head, downhearted. "Andre. You are a clever and talented student. A wonderful basket baller. A scholar. You can't threaten others and attack them over a female. That isn't ok. It defies all morals and isn't normal."
Andre was silent.
"This recording reveals all I need to know. You'll be debarred for a month and have detention for one week, school violence isn't allowed."
"What?!" Andre blurted. "You can't do that shi-" He silenced.
"Hm?" Mrs. Robinson raised her brows, waiting for him to continue. "You should act wise when ending that sentence, Mr. Hicks."
Andre cleared his throat. "You can't do that. I have preliminaries at the end of this month. I have to be there. I worked hard for this, no one has offered as much blood, sweat, and tears as I have." He acted entitled. "I'm the best athlete in this school."
Man, the footballers worked harder than his ass and that was a damn fact.
"Oh, I know, and as much as it hurts me, that's too bad. You should have never been involved in such an unethical situation."
Andre held his face in distress. He looked at us. "Thanks a'lot." He said, sarcastic. He looked as if he were about to shed tears.
Makena frowned at him, mocking.
"You two." Mrs. Robinson uttered. Makena and I looked at her. "You'll both be debarred for one week and have detention for a month."
That means I'll miss track, shit.
"You'll all face end results for brawling and for the destruction of school materials. Is that understood?" Mrs. Robinson asked.
"Yes, ma'am." Makena and I answered. Mrs. Robinson looked to Andre. "You're in this, too."
"Yes, ma'am." Andre answered. He looked lifeless.
"Good. Now, no more altercations." Mrs. Robinson stated, she wrote notices and handed them to us.
"And Ms. Coleman." Mrs. Robinson said looking at Makena. "Please, remove that recording. I've seen it and that's sufficient."
Makena nodded. We both knew she wouldn't abide. The three of us left the office. Andre didn't even look at us. He marched on and went to his hellcat.
Makena exhaled as we walked. "At least that's over. I have to clean before I leave. I can't be seen like this on the streets."
"Me neither. Dionne would kill me if she saw me come home like this." I said. "Damn, how will I tell her I'm out of school for a week?"
"Don't, let the notice do the talking." Makena said. We went to the bathroom and fixed ourselves. Our bruises were starting to show, that wasn't cool.
Outside, we saw Desirae and Asia waiting for us, and walked over to them.
"What the hell." Desirae said, observing our black and blues. "Y'all tussled with him?"
"Yeah, it is what it is." Makena said. "We beat his ass." Desirae touched Makena's bruise. Makena flinched. "Ow!"
"You two are insane." Asia stated. "We were debarred. We have one week, he has one month." I said. "Wow." Desirae uttered.
"Does that mean it's over now?" Asia asked. "You can walk home with me?"
"Yeah, I should be able to." I answered.
That is, when I return.
Asia smiled.
I'll text Solana later. I still had her number saved. I'll let her know it's all cool in the hood.
At home, Dionne didn't take the notice well, she wasn't as bad as mom would be, but she did take her shoes off and throw them at me.
