Really?!

Chapter 12

Chanel's POV

I hopped on the couch when we got back to the hotel. I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. I was flipping through channels when my mom took the remote and turned the TV off. I turned and looked at her.

"Did you think you would be watching TV today after we picked you up?" she asked.

"Well, I'm not suspended." I said.

"Don't play me, in-school suspension is the same thing." She said. "Go do your homework."

"I don't have any." I said pouting.

"Go study something." she said.

"I graduate next week." I said.

Where is she going with this?

"I know what you can do. You see that newspaper."

I looked over and saw it on the coffee table.

"Pick a article and write about it." she said.

Excuse me?

"Are you serious?" I asked laughing.

She was not laughing.

"Dad! Come on, do something!" I said.

"What is he gonna do?" she asked.

"I wasn't technically in a fight." I said trying to explain myself and get out of this makeshift assignment.

"There was no fight." my dad said. "You popped her and it was over."

I just shook my head he did not help the situation at all.

"You got two choices." she said. "Write the report or I take the iPad and your phone."

"I'll write the report." I said getting up.

"And don't be on that phone." she said.

I went over and got the newspaper.

"This is some bullshit." I mumbled walking back to the room.

"Excuse me? Speak up, I didn't catch that." my mom said.

"I didn't say anything."I said.

"Okay, just checking."she said.

This sucks. I don't wanna do no report. I wonder what Rachel is doing. I decided to call her.

"Hello"

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"What am I doing? What you been doing? You know they came and questioned us." she said.

"For real!" I said.

"Yeah, talking like they real detectives or something." she said. "You know this girl? What class she in?"

"What did y'all say?" I asked

"That we never met you." she said. "So what, you suspended?"

"Two days of in-school." I said.

"That's not bad for punching somebody." she said.

"I was provoked." I said laughing.

"Your mom gonna be provoked when she whoop yo ass." she said laughing.

"It ain't even like that." I said laughing. "She got me writing some report though."

Rachel was dying laughing.

"Its not that funny." I said.

"Okay, you right." she said and laughed again. "You call Damien yet?"
