EARLY CHAPTER FELT LIKE UPDATING!"

~~~~~

        "So Miss. Lawless and Miss Night, would one of you care to explain to me what happened out there??" Mr. Stone said while Pricilla and I sat in the two red leather chairs opposite of him. Pracilla already seemed bored and still had this glint in her eye. Man whatever this guy had did put him on her hit list big time. I haven't seen her this upset since the time in 8th grade that John Stevens told everyone at gym that Cilla stuffed her bra with....

Mr. Stone's voice broke me out of my thoughts.

"Miss Lawless would you like to tell me what I just said l... and no not in the last 30 seconds but before that hmmm?"

I turn my seat to look at Cilla hoping she can help me out but that punk was to busy trying to hold her laughter in some friend she is.

"Anytime today Miss Lawless."

"Errrrr?"

"Exactly pay attention... two week detention for the both of you."

"WHAT!!!!" Pricilla and I both exclaim at the same time nearly jumping out of our seats in the process.

"Eh eh eh I'm not finished yet and I would like for the both of you to apologize to the two young men that you two both assaulted out in the hallway."

"But Pete you haven't even asked me my side yet!" Pracilla said trying to put a innocent look on her face l. But failed miserly, honestly she looked like she was constipated.

"Miss Night how many times do I have to tell you and Miss Lawless that I am your Principal?"

"Sorry Mr. Stone but I'm I mean were innocent honest." she stated looking at Pete- I mean Mr. Stone with pleading eyes.

"Okay girls if you can tell me what happen I may reconsider your punishment."

"Miss Night can you tell me what happen?"

Pricilla looked stunned at his reply as she opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of water. She didn't seem like she can form an answer or make up a lie to cover our sorry butts.

" How bout you Miss Lawless.... Mr. Stone said turning his steely gray eyes on to me that would have made a criminal crack at how scary he looked. But lucky for me I don't break easily. So I replied with a sarcastic reply

" Nope I have a swing first ask questions later kind of policy Pete."

"Just what I thought...two week detention and apologies from the two of you, and I don't want to see either of you in my office for the rest of the day. Do I make myself clear ladies?"

"Yes Mr. Stone."

"Good your both dismissed."

As we got up and exited his office to the hallway everyone had practically cleared the hall and was headed to class. So I turn to my best friend and asked "Do you want to tell me what happened this morning. Not saying I'm complaining about whooping that kids butt. But I would like to know why so I can answer questions later if need be." Pracilla just turned to me with this lost look in her eyes and surprised me by throwing her arms around me, and crushing me into a massive hug nearly knocking the wind out of me.

"Hey Cilla are you okay.. what's wrong?"

Cilla just slowly released me from her iron grip and looked at me blinking away tears. She took a few minutes to composed herself and then replied to me.

"Yeah Phe I'm okay just really glad that I have you in my life."

"Yeah me to Cilla but what happened this morning?"

At this point Cilla had fully released me and was just staring at me with this weird look in her eyes like she was struggling with she wanted to say to me.

"Cilla?"

"Oh yeah nothing... that kid just pumped into me and made me drop my books and wouldn't apologize. You know me I let my temper get the best of me. Next thing you know I have him by his throat and his friend is trying to pull me off of him. That's about the same time you showed up".

"Oh okay, I have never seen those guys around before. How bout you Cilla?"

"Nope me either, but I got to run we have exactly ten minutes till first period, and I have to still print my history paper."

Pricilla turned to hug me one more time and turned to walk in the direction of the library.

"Ok cool, I'll see you at lunch, and ohh Cilla."

"Yeah Phe?"

"Don't do nothing I wouldn't do." I replied backed to her with a smug smirk on my face. In which Cilla just rolled her eyes to me and started her walk to the library. Looking at my phone I realized that I had exactly eight minutes to get to first period on time. Perfect that's more than enough time to make a quick stop at the cafeteria and grab a quick snack. To ease my growling stomach. With that on mind I turn on my heel and make my way to the cafeteria.

I wonder if they have any pop tarts left??
