Him and I

Chapter 8

Tyrene Pov

I literally hate school. It's only 4th period and I'm over it. I think I'm going to eat lunch with my dad. The bell rings and I head downstairs. The line is long as usual and I'm pretty hungry. I wonder will dad just buy us something. I pull out my phone to text him. 'Hay daddy-o, you think you feel like buying us something to eat.' Sent. I wait inline for a reply. Ding. 'One step ahead of you. I was just about to text you. Come on upstairs.' I silently celebrate. On my way up the steps I see Bridget. She's one of those girls who probably started getting weaves when she was 6. She gives me the stank eye. I ignore her. I continue on to my dads office. He has Rod's place. I freaking love Rods. He already had his desk clear with a little paper plate. Awe how cute. He stood up, ran around the desk, and pulled my chair out. "M'lady." I giggled and pulled the sides of my uniform skirt. "Why thank you sir." He sat down across from me.

We laughed and talked all through lunch. Then the bell rang. I didn't want it to end. "Go on, I'll clean up." I hugged him goodbye and headed up the stairs. I run into the Bridget again and this time she speaks. "Just because your dad works here, doesn't mean anything. All it really means is your mom is dead and nobody wants you." All I saw was red. I drop my bag and swung. She instantly retaliated. She pulls my hair and attempted to drag my me down. I grab her shirt and push her to the ground. She put her foot in my chest. I punched her repeatedly and she kicked me me. Not gonna lie sis putting up a fight. She stopped kicking me and brought her hand to my throat. Oh hell no. I dig my nails into her wrist. She screams. Mr. Maxwell runs down the hall into me. He prys me off her. She shoots up and runs toward me. I put my foot out. Mr.Flores and Dr.G come running down the hall. Mr.Flores detains Bridget and Dr.G calls the dean. Mr.Snife appears in no time. "Ladies lets go." I snatch away from Mr.Maxwell. I'm still pissed. I locate my bag and follow him down to his office. Fuck. I have scratches and cuts all on my arms and legs. I'm sure I have a show print on my shirt. When we get to the office I toss myself in the office chair. I'm so over this.

We sit in the office giving each other dirty looks for almost 30 minutes before the doors open. Bridgets parents, Daddy, and Mr.Snife walked in. Bridget immediately started the water works. "Daddy, Mommy she attacked me." She sobbed. I got so angry. "Tell then why I attacked you-huh. Tell them what you said." My voice cracked a little. Bridget's mom stepped in. "It doesn't matter what she said. It was no grounds to attack her." Dad responded. "With all due respect ma'am, it might have not been just cause, but it was the cause and should not be ignored. What did you say." Bridget looked down. "I said uh since her dad works here doesn't mean she's better." I waited for her to continue. She didn't. "Say what you said in its entirety." Bridget looked up at her dad. "Uh, I said umm it really means is your mom is dead and nobody wants you." She wisperes the entire last part. Her dad finally said something. "Speak up Bridget, I can't hear you." His voice was strong. It scares me a little. Bridget started to fidget with the hem of her skirt. "Bridget! I don't want to ask you again. Speak up." She shook in her chair. "I said it really just means is her mom is dead and nobody wants her." Daddy was pissed and so was I. Bridget's Dad face didn't change a bit.  "Why would you say that?" Bridget's mom ask. Bridget just shrugged her shoulders. I wanted to attack her all over again. Dad put his hands on my shoulders. I began to count to ten. Mr.Snife spoke for the first time. "Ladies due to the given situation, I must suspend both of you. Tyrene you have a 5 day suspension. Bridget, you have a 6 day suspension. You are not allowed on or around campus. Is the understood. We both responded. "Yes sir." He nodded. "Parents please fill out this paper work." Daddy took his hands off me and walked around to the desk. Bridget still fiddled with her fingers. I didn't care. "Alright, suspension effective immediately." They finished the paper work. "Tyrene, lets go." I grab my bag and stand up. I don't speak to anybody, I just leave. Daddy holds the door for me. I'm still over this.
