"WE are suspending the girls for a fight," Mr. Randy Havens, their principal, confirmed with a furrowed brow.
Natalie Brown regarded her daughters with disappointment. "Is it true?" she asked, her tone weighted with concern.
The girls nodded guiltily, their eyes pleading with their principal, hoping to evade suspension.
"But sir, we didn't start it. We were just defending ourselves," Lilia reasoned, her voice tinged with desperation.
"They called Millie and Sadie names that are inappropriate at our age. We were merely protecting our sisters and cousins. In our case, we were defending ourselves. We would never incite a fight without reason," Grace added, her words carrying a note of defiance.
"I acknowledge that these girls would never instigate a fight. However, you girls have caused injuries to the other girls, so we must take action," Mr. Randy explained, his tone firm yet understanding.
"Well... what can I say? Karma's a bit," Maddie mumbled softly, her words barely audible.
"But don't worry, this suspension won't affect your grades or honors. We simply need to let the girls cool off from each other," Mr. Randy reassured them, his voice carrying a sense of finality.
"We won't be needing another fight to happen, right?" he added, his gaze shifting between the girls and their mother.
The girls and Mrs. Brown nodded in agreement, a sense of relief washing over them. They didn't want the foolish altercation to tarnish their academic achievements. With that, their mother and the principal continued their discussion in earnest.
MEANWHILE, outside the principal's office, the boys awaited the girls' return. Noah, Caleb, and Finn paced back and forth anxiously, while Gaten and Jaeden exchanged knowing glances, sensing their brothers' unease.
"Can you guys stop?!" Gaten interjected, his frustration evident in his tone.
"I don't feel good about this... I don't feel good about this," Noah muttered, his agitation palpable as he tapped his foot impatiently.
"When did you feel good about anything?" Jaeden retorted, his eyebrows furrowed in frustration.
The tension dissipated as the principal's office door swung open, revealing the girls. Without hesitation, the boys enveloped them in a comforting hug, their solidarity unspoken yet palpable.
Who would have thought they would be this close? After years of discord, they had finally found unity. If someone had predicted their newfound closeness, they would have dismissed it with a scoff. But now, they stood together, stronger than ever.
As they returned home, the boys decided to forego their classes to stand by the girls' side. Together, they gathered in the theater room, seeking solace in each other's company as they embarked on a movie marathon.
As they watched "Titanic," "Trolls," and "The Notebook," Jaeden paused the movie, his sincerity evident in his gaze as he addressed the girls.
"Okay... I'm sorry for pausing your movie, but... we were supposed to comfort you, cheer you up, not make you cry because of that damn movie," he said, his words laced with empathy.
"That's such a sweet thing to say, Jay," Lilia responded, her voice soft with gratitude as she pulled Jaeden into a hug.
"Okay, so how about we go on a road trip? You know, to keep you guys distracted," Caleb suggested, his arms wrapped around Sadie.
"That's a great idea. We can—" Sadie began, but was interrupted by the arrival of Joe, Charlie, and Johnny.
"WHO the hell are Yena, Nana, Sophia?!" Joe burst out angrily, his frustration palpable as he scanned the room for answers.
"They're Laneya, Anna, and Sophia," Johnny corrected, his voice calm yet resolute.
"Whatever. Not interesting enough to say their correct names, right Joe?" Charlie scoffed, his annoyance evident as he rolled his eyes.
"Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, does it look like I care?" Joe retorted, his frustration evident as he shook his head in disbelief.
"At least get their names right," Johnny muttered, his tone resigned yet firm.
Their conversation continued, with the boys seeking clarity on the events that transpired. As the truth unfolded, they exchanged incredulous glances, struggling to comprehend the senseless actions of their classmates.
"How old are these girls again?" Charlie asked, his bewilderment evident in his tone.
"Nineteen," the girls replied in unison, their frustration mirrored in their voices.
"Nineteen? They act like they're twelve! Jesus, what's wrong with these girls?!" Joe exclaimed, his disbelief evident as he struggled to make sense of the situation.
"Hey guys... it's okay... we're fine now," Millie consoled, her voice carrying a sense of reassurance that wrapped around her friends like a warm blanket on a chilly night.
"Their lucky you have a good heart," Finn stated, his gaze softening as he looked at Millie adoringly, causing her cheeks to flush with a faint blush. Their connection spoke volumes in the silent exchange, a silent understanding passing between them in the shared moment.
"Okay, okay, okay! I get it. I'm the only one in this room who isn't taken," John exclaimed, breaking the tender moment with a hint of jest, his words laced with playful banter.
"We're not dating," Millie and Finn said simultaneously, their voices blending in perfect harmony, echoing the unspoken bond that existed between them. Their synchronized response held a hint of amusement, as if they were accustomed to such assumptions but found humor in the misunderstanding.
"Yeah... sure... whatever you guys say," John responded, his tone tinged with playful skepticism, his teasing nature adding a light-hearted touch to the conversation as he affectionately teased his friends.
Then, the door swung open, revealing the youngest Wolfhard making his way closer, dressed in high-waisted pants, an Adidas white crop top, and Vans, his presence injecting a breath of fresh air into the room.
"Hey..."
"KENZIE!" the girls exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with joy as they enveloped Kenz in a bone-crushing hug, their laughter ringing out like music in the room, a symphony of friendship and camaraderie.
"I missed you, Kenz," Maddie confessed, her words spoken with genuine affection as she wiped away fake tears, her embrace a testament to the deep bond they shared.
"Aw... my baby," Millie squealed, her affection evident as she hugged Kenz once more, her warmth enveloping her friend like a protective shield.
"It seems like it's been five years since the last time I saw you," Sadie remarked, her voice filled with nostalgia as she patted Kenz's shoulder warmly, a sense of comfort emanating from their reunion.
"You're growing up!" Grace exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with pride, her admiration for her friend shining brightly in her words.
"So damn beautiful," Lilia complimented, her admiration evident in her tone, her words a reflection of the genuine appreciation she held for her friend.
JOHNNY observed from afar, his gaze shifting between his sisters and the captivating presence of Kenz, his thoughts drifting as he contemplated the dynamics of their friendship and the unspoken connections that bound them together.
"Whoops, seems like you spoke too soon, brother," Joe teased, nudging John playfully, his words carrying a hint of mischief as he observed the scene unfolding before them.
John rolled his eyes at his brother's remark, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips, his thoughts lingering on the intricate tapestry of relationships that surrounded them. Perhaps he had spoken too soon... and now, he found himself in trouble, caught in the web of emotions that intertwined their lives in unexpected ways.
