Next day...

"Okay, thank you for coming," Ashely said.

I sat in front of Ashely, Coach Paul, and the principal in the principals office.

"No problem."

"So first can you start with telling us exactly what happened?" Principal Harold asked.

"We were playing the game and the other team kept hitting the ball towards Isabella because they knew she wasn't going to get it-"

"So they used her because she was an easy target is what you're saying?" Principal Harold asked.

"Yes. So I got tired of her jumping out of the way of the ball like she wasn't supposed to get it so I started running for the ball and the score started going up. So I guess she was mad because I did that because she wanted her moment to shine or something, I don't know. So she told me to stay in my position and to stop taking her balls and I basically told her if she got them herself I wouldn't need to."

"And then what'd she say?" He asked.

"She didn't say anything after that because the ball was coming her way again and so I got the ball, again."

"Okay... did she say something to you after that?"

"Yeah she got in my face and was like I told you not to do that and so I pushed her away from me just so that she was get out my face and then she pushed me but I ended up falling. So after that I kind of just blacked out," I said.

"Okay... here's the thing, you fought in my gym. You created a riot, a huge scene... that's not okay. I don't care if it was after school hours or not fighting in the gym is equivalent to fighting in the cafeteria so I'm going to have to suspend you not only for fighting but For creating the huge riot that you did-"

"But it-"

"Now listen, I will give you credit for not intentionally starting the fight but you were still in the wrong. Period, point, blank. So starting today," he said as he wrote down the paperwork.

"You will be suspended from school for 5 days. Well I should say starting Monday since it's Friday. But from Monday to Friday you will be suspended off campus from 6:30 to 2:15. As far as where you stand on the volleyball team that is up to your coaches," he said before finishing up the paperwork.

He gave me a copy before saying his goodbyes and leaving out of the room.

"So all three of us have talked out what punishment we should have for you and Isabella. Now in all honesty you are one of our best players and we know you're a good kid. I just don't believe you are the type to go around provoking people. Although Isabella has had history with drama and bullying... so therefore we've decided she will not come back for the rest of the season. You on the other hand will be suspended from the team and practice but you are to come and show support in the stands," Ashely said while Coach Paul nodded along.

"How long?"

"Just for the next two games. So even though you can't come and practice here I would hope you practice at home so that when you come back you can hit the ground running," Coach Paul said.

"I just want you to know we don't blame you but at the same time there has to be consequences for things like this," she said and I agreed.

"That's okay, I understand," I said as we stood up.

"Okay... take care of yourself and practice at home. Do you have a volleyball at home?" She asked.

"Uhm I don't know... I have to see," I replied.

"Well if you don't you can always check one out from us just make sure you return it," she said before we went to check out a volleyball.

I said my goodbyes before I left.
