It had been almost 2 hours before the man stepped back into the room. He looked at me with gentle eyes. Oddly it was quite comforting. He sat at the table and tossed me an apple. I looked back at him with a puzzled expression on my face. He nodded towards the apple and I took a bite. God, it's been such a long time since I had any type of fruit. We sat there quietly for a moment before he finally spoke, his voice filling the silence.

"So I spoke with Miss Mayze, and she told me she did nothing wrong." He smirked a little. That honestly made me really nervous. But I said nothing and just continued to eat my apple.

"So I checked the cameras from the past few days, including this morning." His smirk began to fade. "I'm so sorry we didn't catch this when it started. But she's been expelled so, there's no need to worry about her anymore." I couldn't help but chuckle at this.

"But," he continued, "You still need a punishment for breaking her nose. We can't just over look that."

I looked back down at my hands, tears welling in my eyes once more. I grabbed another tissue, waiting on their arrival. He finally began speaking once more. "So I've come to the conclusion that you will be an escort for our new student. His name is Jeremy. He just moved here and will be joining us first thing tomorrow. Quite coincidentally you both have every single class together. That's why I think this would be perfect for you. I want you here a half an hour early. Do you walk or ride the bus?"

"Walk" I said nervously

"Good. Know where the office doors are from the outside? Use those, wait for them to buzz you in, and meet me in my office."

"Okay" was all I could manage. I was terrified. What if he's just like everyone else in this stupid school? What if he rejects me? I really don't know how well this is going to go. Everyone hates me, everyone. The man, now standing by the door, called my name, breaking me from my thoughts.

"It's time to go, Skye, you ready?"

I looked over at the clock. Damn was it really already 3:12. I hadn't even heard the bell ring. I nodded and stood from my seat. I wiped up the black spots from the table and grabbed by bag. I began walking out the door when I remembered, I hadn't even asked his name. He was too kind to me for me to be rude and not even ask. I turned just as I reached the main office doors and walked back to the doorway of the small room where I had just been. He was sitting at the table with a file, flipping through the pages. I tapped on his shoulder as he closed the folder.

"Yes, Skye?"

"Oh, well I thought it'd be rude to just leave without asking your name." I looked down awkwardly.

"Mr. Sweet. And yes, my last name really is Sweet."

"Well Mr. Sweet, thank you very much for your kindness. Oh, and the apple!" we both laughed. He shook my hand and I walked out of the door. Thank god! I said to myself. The halls were completely empty. Maybe today was a good day after all. Well, in its twisted little way. But I can't help but still feel that fear of tomorrow. Jeremy, I thought to myself.

I started my walk home, still thinking about the day to come. I stopped at the Speed Way just a couple blocks from my house and bought a pack of cigs. The man at the counter gave me a free speedy freeze and told me congrats on finally being an adult. That made my day that much better.

I finally reached the door of my house and turned the knob. I went upstairs without a word, finished my drink, opened the window, and lit a cigarette. The taste of menthol was just what I needed. Today was a good day, I suppose. With that thought resting in my head, I put the cigarette out and let sleep consume me.
