Stand Up! "book 1"

Chapter 7

OH MY GOD , is the first thought I think when I see the hand cuffs wrap around my principles wrist ... for sexual harassment , towards ........... me ?!

it wasn't really sexual harassment he only grabbed my arm . I guess it could be considered as it .

" who will be our principle now ? " Hannah asked me in shock .

" I don't know , probably Mrs. Alison , the assistant principle , but I'm not sure . " I said , watching the deputy take principle Phillips away .

my mom and dad walked out of another room next to the waiting area .

" where were y'all ? " I asked

" we had to answer questions too . " my dad answered .

" they arrested Phillips . " Hannah told them , she knows my parents because she has been to my house lots of times .

" really ? that's good ! " my mom exclaimed .

" mom can we go home ? " I asked ... " I'm really tired . "

" I don't thinks so sweetie ... I'm sorry ! " my mom said sadly .

" where are your parents Hannah ? " my dad asked .

" they had to go fill out papers and answer a few questions . " she said .

I wonder what they will ask them , they didn't see what happened . that concerns me .

my mom and dad sat down next to Ross , who was being really quiet .

" what time are y'all leaving for Chicago ? " I asked to get our minds off of the situation .

" I don't think I can go , not after this . " my mom answered .

Ross had a worried look on his face and spoke ,

" but mom you have to go I already planned things me and Danny would do while y'all were gone , we will be okay ! "

Ross really wants to take responsibility of a house and a 14 year old , but I want them to go too .

" okay , I'll keep my mind on it , I have until 6:00 pm tomorrow . " she said .

dad didn't say anything he just sat there shaking his head agreeing with whatever she said .

after about 15 minutes , sheriff Walsh walked over to my mom and started talking in private .

it was only about 3 minutes until they walked back to us .

" y'all can go home . " Walsh told us .

we all sigh in relief , we have been here for three hours .

" Hannah your mom and dad are almost finished answering questions and then y'all are free to go as well ." he told Hannah .

I stood up and gave Hannah a hug ,

" thank you so much ! your the bestest friend ever . " I told her . and walked away .

we walked to the car and piled in again . and started to drive home .

" so , have you finished thinking about Chicago ? " Ross asked .

" yeah , I'm going to go , but I have to talk to you Ross about tomorrow , and what you have to do . " mom answered .

why can't she tell him now ? what is it about . Ross will tell me when we get home .

we got home and I ran upstairs ... it was 10:23 pm , I forgot to ask Ross and I went to straight to bed .
