Back To You // Homecoming

15| Stupid Feelings

With arms crossed over her chest and her eyes glaring down at the carpet, El sat in the principal's office with Elijah right next to her.

The principal stared at the two, lightly tapping his pencil against his desk. "So who's going to explain what happened?" He asked, looking in between the two.

El sits up, slightly smiling. "I will." She answered. "Because if he does he might just end up lying again."

Elijah glared at the girl, earning a glare back from her.

"Continue glaring at me and I'll make sure a broken nose isn't the only thing you get." She spoke through gritted teeth.

"Ms. Stark!" The principal exclaimed looking at the girl with widened eyes.

El snapped her head over to the older man before shrugging her shoulders. "So we went on a date last night and then he started getting touchy with and tried to touch my inappropriately so I pushed him off me and got out the car." She froze, deciding wether or not she should tell them about Spider-Man coming in. "And when I came to school I find out, from my best friend, that this asshole started rumors saying that I slept with him in the back of the car. When I went to confronted him about it he called me a whore. So I punched him."

The principal looked at the girl with wide eyes before slowly nodding his head. "Is this true Mr. Fitzgerald?"

Elijah looked over at El, noticing her glaring at him. He slowly nodded his head, not wanting to fight with her anymore.

"Hah!" El exclaimed, feeling accomplished. "I win!"

"Ms. Stark!" The principal exclaimed, pinching the bridge of his nose."Elijah you may leave, your parents should be here soon to pick you up." He softly spoke, mentally preparing himself for the talk he was about to have with El.

Elijah nods his head, staring at El as he slowly stands up.

"Is there a problem?" El snaps, glaring over at the older boy watching as he jumps and quickly rushes out the door.

"Because I don't mind fixing it!" She calls out, knowing he could hear her. "But this time I won't go for the nose, I'll go do your di-"

"Ms. Stark, that's enough!" The principal exclaims, cutting El off. "Where did all this aggression come from?"

El chuckled, recalling the time Peter broke up with her and her aggression had increased in a matter of days.

"Well, it slowly started after my brother died, and then once Peter broke up with me it got worse." She explained, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm getting really sick and tired of losing people I care about."

"But you still have Tony, correct?" The older man questions, tilting his head. "What were to happen if you lost him? Would you become more aggressive?"

El took a moment to think about the question, she had never thought about losing Tony and now that she did, it was a horrible feeling.

"I don't think I'd be able to live Sir." She answers truthfully. "That'd be like losing my father all over again."

The principal licked his bottom lip, slowly nodding his head. "I understand." He sighs, looking around the office, trying to decide what El's punishment would be.

"Since Elijah was the one who technically started this, your punishment is no Homecoming."

El furrowed her eyebrows together, staring at the older man in confusion. That was it?

A small chuckle escapes from her lips as she lightly shakes her head. "That's it?" She asks. "I wasn't even planning on going to homecoming anyways, so that's nothing."
