Misadventures

I See Flynn With Rapunzel

Bentley:

Everyone froze.

Mr. Jeffery aka Mr. Jerk face repeated what he had said earlier,"All of you in my office now."

Few minutes later, they were all in his office including Chris who had to be dragged all the way there. Bentley kept muttering curses under his breath. Violet was sitting on a seat, her face pale white. Sam was sobbing in the corner. Hela was the only one not giving a shit, chewing gum.

Before the principal came in, Bentley excused himself to the washroom, his mind wandering.

Although he would beat up anyone for Sam,  he didn't want to be suspended. On his way back, he saw Flynn, Violet's boyfriend for the past 3 years pushing a girl towards the wall and making out.

Bentley stopped.

He could feel the blood rushing into his ears.

Bentley walked up to Flynn, his face red. "What do you think you are doing?"

Flynn freaked out. "Violet must not know about this, I beg you."

"No freaking way, I'm telling her." Bentley stomped away. But while walking towards the office, it dawned on him that if Violet came to know about this, she would be devastated.

"No, Violet couldn't know about this," he thought. His mind was filled with these thoughts when he entered the office.

Inside Violet was in the middle of explaining the whole thing to the principal. In their college, there was this rule that if one person was caught commiting a crime, he or she would be suspended. But if others were included, then they would just have detention for a month.

Violet was trying to prove that she wasnt the only one involved in this. She pointed at Bentley and said, "Benny! Tell Mr. Jeffrey that you were also involved in this too."

Bentley hesitated before shaking his head. "What do you mean? I was just watching the fight."

Sam gasped. Hela whispered, "Bentley..." and stopped. Violet dropped her arm which was pointed at Bentley. Her face a mix if emotions.

First, confusion.

Then, sadness.

At last, anger.

"Violet, you are suspended," said the principal. Violet nodded and walked out, not before glaring at Bentley.

The others exited the room. The hallway was empty.

After making sure the coast was clear. Hela and Sam pushed Bentley towards the wall. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, YOUNG MAN?!" Bentley just stared back them, his face showing a mix of sadness, pain and confusion.

He slid down onto the floor, sobbing.

"I-I had to. This was for her own good."

"What do you mean?"

He told them everything he saw.

"But why would you get her suspended?" Hela asked.

"BECAUSE I WANTED TO PROTECT HER," he sighed.

"If Violet came to college and saw them together, Lord knows what she would do."

Sam spoke, his voice suddenly serious, "Violet should not know about this."
