Barbie Transformation

NO Swear Words? Oh Shit.

“You are a disgrace to this school! First, you set Olivia’s hair on fire and nearly burn the science lab down, and now you’re pulling pranks on my students! What has happened to you both?” Mrs Mexted (the  principle) asks us.

I hand my head down in defeat and Hunter looks at me sympathetically. It’s my fault, he shouldn’t be in this mess. It might have been his idea but if you remember, I was the person who blackmailed him into helping me out.

Shit.

“Who’s idea was it?” Mrs Mexted shrieks and walks back and forth while Hunter and I sit in chairs across from her table.

We’re both quiet but we both sneak a peak at each other as though telling ourselves to zip our mouths.

Mrs Mexted squints her eyes at us and sighs in frustration, “If no one owes up you will both be expelled!” Hunter and I look up quickly. No! I cannot be expelled. Hunter’s eyes hold the same desperation and the guilt in me grows largly.

“It was my idea!” I confess Mrs Mexted glares at me, “Hunter leave the room while I talk with Miss Rose.”

Hunter looks at me with a concerned/confused expression and I shake my head. “But it was my-,”

“Out!” She shrieks and Hunter and I both wince. He quickly walks out but stands outside. I notice that the door isn’t fully closed so I see him peeking at me with a frown on his face.

“Miss Rose, why did you do it?” She confronts me. I’m not about to tell her all of my ideas regarding my popularity position. That wouldn’t be so great because then I would be questioned to why hunter would agree to helping me. That would get me in deep shit- I’d have to admit my blackmail towards him. I could be expelled!

Mrs Mexted notices my shortage of words and sighs, sitting back down in her seat. “Your mother called me. She explained to me your change in behavior and personality. I know that things are tough at home. Your grandmother called me and asked me to go easy on you for a while, especially with your father being back…” How does she know? I know that Lily has a big mouth but would she really tell my principle that much?!

“Don’t you dare talk about Max. He’s not my father.” I say arrogantly and cross my arms. Mrs Mexted frowns but obliges, “I understand this topic might be making you uncomfortable but I think talking to a councilor or a therapist might help. And giving your circumstances at the moment with Max arriving, I’ll let you off the hook. But Emmerson, if something like this happens again, your family business won’t be your savior like it is now.” She warns. I glare at her, “Who the hell do you think you are? You think you know all about me. You think just because my bloody grandmother betrayed me and shared my family business with you means you know me. You don’t! A fucking therapist wont help me! I don’t need help!” I shout and Mrs Mexted tuts,

“No swearing! You see Emmerson, this behavior might have been inflicted by your fathe- I mean, Max- and I just think a therapist will-,”

“Fuck you.” I say in a menacing voice and stand up and walk towards the door.

“How dare you!” She gasps, “Don’t you dare leave this room Emmerson Rose! You take one more step and you’ll be suspended for a week!” She shouts and I halt in my tracks.

I slowly turn to face her and she stares at me angrily; her eye twitching slightly. “You are very disrespectful, I said NO swearing! I’m trying to give you options, here and all you give me are profanities and swearwords! Now; I’m not saying I know you Emmerson, I never did say that. What your grandmother said was my business- it was affecting you mentally and physically and you may have not noticed but it also affected your results in that last examination you had. You only got 48%. Emmerson, you usually get 70% results! I’m trying to help you, here. If you choose to walk away, the suspension will be on your report data and it might jeoprodize your chances of being a prefect or getting a job, chronologically.” The rage inside of me dies down and tears begin to well up in my eyes.

“I don’t know everything that’s happening in your life, and you’re right, it isn’t my business but as Riverdale’s representative, I expect you to behave like a true River Student- no swearing…!” She exclaims and I frown.

I sigh and lean against the wall in defeat, “I don’t know what to do.” I admit and Mrs Mexted smiles at me.

“How about you give your father a chance. He made a few mistakes in his life from what I’ve heard. But maybe the reason he’s drinking is because you keep running away from him. Perhaps you’re overestimating him as a monster.” She explains.

Fury runs in my vains again. How dare she! This has nothing to do with Max!

I turn around and open the door, “Emmerson! I’m warning you, you will be suspended!” She shouts and I clutch the door handle tighter.

 I spin around to face her and say, “Fuck, shit, moron, dipshit, fuck, asshole, slut, motherfucker, bitch”

When I walk outside, Hunter is leaning against the wall. When he sees me he frowns and notices my tears. “Emmerson?”

I quickly hug him and hide my face in his shoulders, letting my tears out. “I want to run away!”
