Ethan's POV

"I never wanted to start shit with you, Mya. I hope you know that. That's why I've ignored almost every rude thing you've said and done to me since you saw Ethan and I fucking around in the pool. I get how you fucking feel Mya. I lost my mom when I was twelve. I know how badly losing a loved one can fuck up somebody's mental state."

Oh my fucking god.

This fight was about what happened at the pool party?

I watch as Ema and Mya get escorted to the office, but not before she turns to look at Gray and I.

"I'm sorry," she mouths.

I feel Grayson's hand on my shoulder.

"Let's go, E. We'll find out more after school."

Emaleia's POV

"Well, I would say it's nice to meet you, Miss Aarons, but not like this." Principal Karcher sighs as she sits down at her desk.

"Yeah, I know the feeling." I grit my teeth.

Principal Karcher looks at Mya then looks at me.

"As you guys may know, we have a zero tolerance for violence at this school. We've reviewed the security footage and we saw Miss Bell," she gestures toward Mya, "pushed your locker closed on you first, however Miss Aarons you threw the first punch. So neither of you will be getting more punishment than the other. You are both being given two days of out of school suspension, this Monday and Tuesday."

Principal Karcher sighs, pushes her glasses up then rests her arm on her desk.

"Mya, if you need to talk to somebody about the death of Beatrice Fullers, come to one of our counselors. Do not take it out on Miss Aarons."

"I don't need to talk to anybody about shit." Mya huffs. "She needs to stay the fuck away from Bea's boyfriend," she argues and points a finger at me.

I sit in silence.

"Honey, you obviously need to talk. I have no idea what is going on between Mr. Dolan and Miss Aarons, but even if something is, it is none of your business. His girlfriend passed away."

Principal Karcher looks at me, "Although, I do think it is too early for Mr. Dolan to be moving on with somebody else."

"There is nothing going on," I sigh and look down.

Principal Karcher shakes her head, "Like I said, it's nobody's business. However, in other words, I feel it is best if you guys take the rest of the day off."

She stands up.

"I will be back. I have to call your parents to notify them of what happened."

Mya and I sit in silence as we wait for Principal Karcher to return.

"Miss Bell, your parents have been notified and they are on their way. You can go wait out in the room with Secretary Raine."
