"Completely unacceptable behaviour! I am absolutely disgusted with the lot of you!" Mr Damocles enunciated every single one of his words, making his disappointment with all of them quite clearly. Both Sabrina and Marinette had the decency to look utterly ashamed, though Sabrina didn't have to since she didn't do anything but alert the teachers. The two girls' best friends though glared scathingly at each other, fiery hazel and electric blue clashing against each other while heightening the tension in the room.
The red faced principal took a break from his reprimands, no doubt later going back to it just to ingrain the message into their teenage brains, and turned to Sabrina with a grateful expression. "Thank you very much for alerting us of these hooligans' behaviour." At that Chloe sent a sneer towards the redhead, making her pale at a rapid rate.
"Oh no sir, it's fine!" She squeaked out, hoping to try and keep her friendship with Chloe intact. Unfortunately the brat didn't seem to share her best friend's sentiments at all, instead deciding to stick her royal nose in the air and revert back to the entitled spoilt princess she was.
"Please Mr Damocles, if you took the time to look at the three of us-" She gestured delicately to herself then practically stabbed her finger in the direction of Marinette and Alya. "-you'd clearly see that they barely have any injuries on themselves-" Understatement of the year, the scratch Alya received from Chloe bled until gradually reaching her chin and Marinette's whole face stung with the presence of paper cuts she received from the magazine. So no, they were not barely injured but with Chloe's connections she'd be able to draw attention away from those details. "-so if you had half a brain you'd realised that the obvious thing that happened was they ganged up on me."
Everyone in the room widened their eyes.
Gritting her teeth, Alya hated to admit it but Chloe was far smarter and more cunning than anyone gave her credit. It almost made her respect the blonde bitch a bit. That respect quickly evaporated once Alya saw that self satisfied smirk that slithered its way onto Chloe's face and suddenly she felt like reigniting the fight that occurred earlier.
The principal gave an offended cough once he ingested all of Chloe's words and for once, he did not seem to be buying into her manipulations.
"Accusing Alya of invading your privacy was one thing, Miss Bourgeios, but physically assaulting them is another. I will not let this matter slide so easily." Before Alya and Marinette could even think to breathe a sigh of relief Mr Damocles shot them both a harsh glare. "Do not think that the two of you are getting off scotch free either. Miss Dupain-Cheng, you out of the three will receive the lesser punishment as you did not join the fight with malicious intent, instead only to break the two of these apart. Your version of the incident lines up with everyone else but Miss Bourgeios, though I think we can overlook her just this once." Cue indignant spluttering from Chloe. She immediately went red in the face from pure anger directed at the poor excuse of a principal in front of her. How dare he even suggest to overlook the most important person in this room?!
"My daddy will hear about this! I hold the power to let you keep your position! Do you dare question me?!" She shrilled, her voice reaching higher octaves by the minute. But Mr Damocles wasn't having it at all. For too long he has been putting up with the mayor's daughter brattiness and utter disrespect for generally all living life forms. But for once, he had the advantage over her. The assault of two girls weren't going to be covered up so easily by the mayor and the fact that his own daughter was involved would further soil his reputation.
"Miss Bourgeois, as I have said earlier, this is very serious. Your reputation hangs by a thread and once this incident has been leaked out to the community, both you and your father will have a huge mess to clean up." He stated, tone as icy as the peaks of Mount Everest and a determined gleam flaming from within his eyes. The occupants of the room looked taken back at their usually docile principal's assertive behaviour. For sure, the girls thought that he would once again let Chloe get away with this and place all of the blame upon Marinette and Alya, probably ending up with Alya turning into an Akuma again. Chloe regained her composure rather quickly and was about to say something again when Mr Damocles interrupted her.
"Right, you seem to have gotten the message. Now onto the punishments."
"Miss Dupain-Cheng, your parents will be receiving a phone call from us right after you are dismissed. You are also suspended for three days starting tomorrow and when you come back you will be required to stay back in school during lunches to run errands for your scheduled teachers for a week." Marinette's head fell dejectedly as she accepted her punishment in silence.
"Miss Cesaire, your parents will also be receiving a phone call and you are hereby suspended for a week from tomorrow and you will also run errands during your lunchtimes. This punishment goes for you too Chloe and I do not care if Monsieur Bourgeois calls me up to yell at me, what you did was utterly inexcusable and I will be sure to relay my reasons in a stabilised manner to him." Finally Chloe reached her breaking point. She screamed out her fury and stormed out of the office, making the doors fly open with a sickening slam. Sabrina quickly ran after her best friend, only stopping to look apologetically at the rest.
"Well shit." No one bothered to reprimand Alya for her curse. Mr Damocles simply rubbed his temples and dismissed Ms Bustier and the two girls without another single word.
Ms Bustier escorted the two girls to the sick bay to clean up their wounds. Once she informed the nurse supervising the room, she turned to the two girls with a weary expression.
"I'm going to look for Chloe. Her wounds need to be treated properly otherwise she'll just complain even more later." She finished and left the room, the sound of her heels clicking against the floors growing softer and softer.
"Alright Miss Cesaire and Miss Dupain-Cheng, lets get those cuts cleaned up before they get infected." The two mutely followed the nurse's request, not trusting theirselves to speak yet lest they follow Chloe's example and scream out their frustrations of the blonde who got them into this whole mess in the first place.
