Love Triangle

It's Nice to Meet You

Here's Chapter 3! 😄 I hope you guys like it as much as the last chapters ☺

Regina slammed the door behind her - and with plenty of style too. She swiftly turned on her heels and began to walk down the corridor. On her journey down to the Principal's office, she questioned why she was making the trip there. Apart from the fact that she was on her phone in class and she challenged her teacher with her sassing abilities, the reason that she was sent to the Principal's office was quite confusing to her. In all honesty, she found it kind of petty and that there wasn't a doubt that Ava over-reacted, in fact as far she was concerned, the bitch deserved what was coming to her; she was really rude to Regina after all and very unprofessional and inappropriate when trying to resolve the situation with her and Daniel. The thing that stood out to how she was in the wrong the most was that she was very offensive and disrespectful and spoke to Daniel and Regina like shit so if anyone was to get disciplined most definitely should be her.

Regina finally came to a halt when she reached the office door. She read the plate that was bolted to the door. It had a name engraved in it. "Mr Gold." Regina took a deep breath before knocking on the door. There was no answer. No "come in" or anything so she used her own initiative and entered. She turned to close the door behind her. "It's quite rude of you to disturb me while I'm working." A deep voice said sternly. By the familiarity of the voice Regina knew that it was Mr Gold himself, well there was that and the commonsense that it was his office, so it was pretty unlikely to be anyone else. Regina tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and folded her arms as she began to speak. "Sorry to bother you. Ava Blanchard sent me to speak to you." Regina said politely. Regina didn't even try to come up with anything sassy to say; she had too much respect for him.

Mr. Gold was ruthless when it came to discipline; he didn't take shit off anybody, he didn't buy into excuses unless they seemed genuine. He was very firm but he was fair, he was always reasonable with the students and other staff members, he had a good heart and if you ever had any problems, he would always leave his door open for you to come in to talk, but whatever conversation you had with him, his door would always be closed and he would always keep it confidential, unless he thought it could endanger anyone.

Regina thought he could be in a bad mood as it seems he snapped at her unnecessarily until he showed her his index finger, to gesture to wait a minute as it became quite clear that he was actually on the phone. "Listen, I don't care if you have locked yourself outside, that's not my problem. Listen, Milah, I'm hanging up now, don't bother me while I'm at work." And with that he put the phone down. He momentarily stared at the phone before letting out a short sigh and quickly shook his head. He then turned to face Regina and gave her a little smile. "Hello Miss Mills. Please take a seat." Mr Gold motioned his hand to a chair that was placed opposite to his desk. Regina aided his request and sat down. "So I got a phone call from Ava that she wanted me to act upon a disciplinary after you interrupted her lesson by texting and then when she confronted you on the matter, you were very rude and disrespectful to her. Tell me, what's going on?" Mr Gold said. He wasn't the kind of man to make assumptions, especially when there was two sides of a story and he's only heard one so in this case he heard Ava's side, now he wanted to hear Regina's.

Regina exhaled softly before answering. "Well." She began. "I was in class on my phone when..."
"I mean from the beginning. I know that Ava can be a bit... bold to express her passion in her job, so please start from the moment you arrived to class." Mr Gold instructed politely. "Well, that's one way to put it, and passion isn't exactly the word I would use either." Regina mocked Ava. Mr Gold turned a blind eye, or in this case a deaf ear, to Regina's snarky comment about Ava as if he secretly agreed with her. "Just tell me what happened, Miss Mills." Mr Gold said. "Well, it all started when I got to the classroom door with my boyfriend and I was upset about something that I won't go into detail about, and he kissed me just to give me comfort and to assure me that I didn't need to be so worried." Regina started. "Wait, what were you worried about?" Mr Gold asked. "It's not important." Regina insisted. "Are you sure? If there's something bothering you, you can always talk to me, my door is always open." Mr Gold warmly informed her. An acute smile formed on Regina's face. "I really appreciate the gesture, but it's really nothing to worry about." She said, trying to sound convincing. "Okay, I believe you, but if you are under any stress or are upset about something, you'll always find me here; just make sure it's in school hours." He joked softly. The smile on Regina's face grew slightly bigger. "Thank you Sir, I'll keep that in mind." She was slightly confused as to why he was being so nice to her; she wasn't in his office for a social call, and he knew that. She was here for disciplinary matters, so why he was being nice was a mystery. "Anyway, let's get back on track. What happened after that?" He asked, a bit more serious and formal. "She glared at us and was really rude and disrespectful to us." Regina said trying to hide the fact that she was still annoyed at how she treated her and Daniel. "Disrespectful, how?" Mr Gold asked, getting more engaged and intrigued about Regina's version of what happened. "Well, she said something along the lines of..."
