Son of the Troll

Chapter 2

I sat in the principals waiting for him to say something.He just suspended Jacob and Nathan for what they did.

"Mathew,you are what we call a-Caroline,ugh,what are we saying instead of spazoid these days?",he asked as he looked through a door behind him.

"Ugh,normally challenged sir",she said.

"Do they make a pill for that?",he asked.

"No sir",Caroline responded.

He wrote something on a sheet of paper and handed it to me.

"Apparently, there's
nothing we can do for you.
This acting out needs to stop",He said.

"But, sir..."

"We have a no fighting
policy at this school.
Zero tolerance. You
fight, you're suspended",He said as he stood up.

"Getting beat up counts as fighting?",I asked.

"A fist can't punch without
a face to receive it.No fighting means no fighting,"he said as he walked me out of his office.

"Oh, and, Matthew?"

"Yes, sir?"

"Try not to pick anymore fights",he said.

I nodded and left the room.

I left school and dragged my feet all the way home.Half way there,Jacob was on his bike along with Nathan.

"Hey, Lake , you got me suspended!",Jacob yelled.

"You should be happy. You hate school",I replied as I avoided his eyes.

"My dad's going to kill me.
He's got a 10 strikes policy,
and this is strike 10",Jacob said as he rode his bike around me.

"Well maybe you shouldn't act like such a butt",I said.

"What did you say?",he sneered.

"You heard Principal
Jones. He said no fighting",I said.

"He said no fighting on school property",Nathan said as he laughed.

"Come on, let's get him!",Jacob said.

They chased me all the way to my house.I ran inside and locked the door behind me.

I sighed in relief and looked out the blinds.

Nathan and Jacob were on their bikes starring at the house.

"You gotta come out sometime",Nathan yelled.

"Yeah, and when you do, we'll be waiting",Jacob yelled.

"It's Friday.He could be in there all weekend.Are we really gonna
wait here for three days?",Nathan asked.

"Nah. Forget him.Let's go bug the goats at the petting zoo",Jacob said as they rode off.

I sighed and closed the blinds.

All of a sudden,a rock comes through the window.The boys laughed as they rode off on their bikes.

I groaned and looked down at all the glass in the floor."Moms going to kill me"

I looked down at the rock and saw that the top of the air vent was moved.

I sat down next to the air vent and picked up the rock.When I picked it up,a piece of glass fell in the air vent.

"Uh?"
