Love & War

Chapter 43

Veronica POV

We walked into class and sat down. I was talking with Aaron and Alexia when the teacher walks in.

"Mrs. Nelsen???" Aaron said and she turned to him
with a death stare.

"Where's Mr. Fuentes??" I asked.

"He is not here today." She said.

"But I saw him walk-" Alexia said but she got cut
off.

"I said he is not here and it's because he is not here." She said rudely.

"Take out your book and open it to page 350. Read all the article that ends in page 390." She said.

"Is she serious??" I said.

"Yes Veronica, I'm serious. You better finish it all by
the end of class." She said.

"I can't finish this before the end of class." I said.

"Ok then, I think you're staying after class." She
said.

"Mrs. Nelsen, that's not fair." Aaron said.

"Aaron, you're gonna get in trouble." I said.

"Mr. Burriss, do you want to join her after
class??" She asked.

"No." I said.

"Yes." Aaron said.

"Ok then, Aaron and Veronica are staying after class." Mrs. Nelsen said while walking to her desk.

"Really Burriss?!?" I said.

"Yes." He said while smiling.

We started to read the article. It was so long and boring. The bell rang and everyone left. Aaron and I were the only one still sitting. Alexia waved at us and we waved back at her.

"C'mon, finish the article." Mrs. Nelsen said.

We kept reading until we finished it.

"There." I said while closing our books.

"You guys can leave now and Veronica, stop giving me attitude." She said.

She gave us a pass and we walked out the classroom and went to our next class. We knocked on the door and the teacher was kinda mad.

"Aaron, Veronica. Class started like 30 minutes ago." He said.

"We have a pass." I said.

"Let me see." He said while I walked to him and handling it to him.

"Sit down." He said and we went to our seats.

Sadie stands up and whispers something into the
teacher's ear. He turns to us and she walked back to her seat. He then walked to me.

"Veronica, can I talk to you outside??" The teacher asked me and I nodded.

We walked out the classroom and he was looking serious. He started to write a pass.

"Go to discipline." He said.

"But why??" I asked.

"Veronica, you have a hickey and you're asking why." He said.

I totally forgot to put make up on it.

"That's n-"

"Go Veronica." He said.

"Bu-"

"Veronica, go inside the classroom and grab all your stuff. I'm really sure that you are getting suspended." He said.
