The Definition of Infinite

Nina

Well here I am again, at the principle's office staring at his intimidating face listening to his gravelly voice. I felt a sea of anxiety deep down. I broke into sweat. my heart pounded and my hand felt clammy against my bouncing knee.

The very act of staring into his face made my eyes hurt, and my heart is threatening to burst out of my chest. Anxiety crashes over me and my every waking thought is consumed with this worry. The nerves choking me up, words I had practiced over and over again in the mirror of the school bathroom be dragged back to my throat.

Just kidding this isn't my first rodeo! to be honest, on average i'm in the principles office twice a week so I'm used to it by now , what can I say its a talent. But usually I know what I'm in for. But this was quite a surprising invitation. I've been sitting here for the past 15 minutes trying not to stare at his vein on his forehead, I'm surprised it hasn't exploded yet because he gets irritated really easily, well if my streak of getting into trouble sticks I'll give it another month.

I mean what is this guy moaning about this time. I genuinely don't remember doing anything wrong. I cant help think I'm being framed for something, I mean that's the only logical reason that I would be here for. I swear if I find out someones doing this to me they'll wish they never crossed my path, that son of a bitch! Now I'm even more pissed just thinking about it.

"Ms Pennton, Ms Pennton are you even listening me!"

"Why yes of course I'm paying attention." Lie "Look sir, to be honest I have no idea what you're even talking about. I'm the victim here!" Probably a lie too.

"You say this every time you're in here, this is unacceptable behavior, Vandalism is a crime, the janitor will be scrubbing those lockers for weeks. Our school has a reputation and it will not be ruined by one subversive teen!"

"But this time I actually mean it, I promise you I didn't do anything! I know I would be the first one to blame because of my past behavior but this is ridiculous. I would never do that and if I did, I  would have done a much better job and not get caught that easily"

"This isn't a joke Ms Pennton, you're behavior is preposterous and I'm not buying anymore of you're excuses. I wasn't born yesterday! This is my final warning to you, two weeks detention and if you get into the slightest trouble again you will be suspended for a month with three months of school work as punishment to keep you busy, understood!!"

"But that's not fair! why am I being punished for something I didn't do! This is bullshit!"

"Watch you're language young lady" He's giving me that death glare that adults do, you know the one where they are trying to look stern or disappointed but end up looking constipated. 

"Now get out of my sight I have things to do"

Can you believe this guy. That was the breaking point of my patience, at that point I was blinded by rage , I closed my hands into a fist, sprung up from the chair and marched towards the door. My face was contorted in fury. I swung the door open, I bolted out of the room. Turned around to say my final words to this futile of a person called our principle. When I see a familiar face standing beside the door. I freeze suddenly forgetting why I was mad

She hasn't changed in the slightest way physically, she stands exactly two inches under me, her mahogany hair falls messily around her shoulders. yet something about the way she holds herself has changed, she seems as rigid and cold as a metal pole, her eyes dart around trying to affect interest in anything but me.

"Ms Anderson,please come in" the principal calls out sounding exhausted.

She ducks past me seeming relieved by the excuse to leave.

I watched her step into the office. But it couldn't be her, not possible she disappeared to a school a long time ago, it wouldn't make any sense to return to a place like this. This train of thought calmed my nerves and I didn't feel like I wanted to punch someone anymore, which was a good sign. I can't believe my best friend from elementary school came back. My mood escalated from furious to a calm confused state in seconds to see my best friend again.

I think about waiting for her outside the office, but i shake away the idea as soon as I think of it, if she wanted me to know she was back she would have told me, I am suddenly overcome with a mix of anger and hurt. I walk away slowly from the office, I have to find Eli and tell him everything.
