"Miss—"
"I don't wanna hear it."
"Please, just—"
"LUCINA, I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES."
There was a dead silence in the classroom.
It was practically empty, just Bayonetta, Lucina, and Palutena and Pit minding their business in the back trying to print out some papers.
Bayonetta pushes up her glasses and looked Lucina straight in the eye.
"First, you skip school for three FULL DAYS, then, you stride back in with an attitude and was so disrespectful, and NOW, you expect me to let you get a retake on the test."
"Please, my dad is gonna kill me—"
"Well maybe you should've thought about that before you went on your bad streak."
Lucina's head dropped, now looking down at her feet.
Bayonetta sighed, gently prodding Lucina's chin to make her look back up.
"Dear, I don't know what's going on with you. You're not a bad kid but I can tell you're slowly getting yourself into bad places. I can see it in your eyes... just rest for now. And please understand that I can't just let you retake the test that you had so much time to study for."
Lucina nodded.
"Now please, go home and get some sleep."
Palutena and Pit watched her grab her backpack and leave the classroom. They immediately turned back the other way, not wanting Bayonetta to see that they eavesdropped.
"Has she told you anything?" Pit whispered.
"No... I haven't really bothered with it." Palutena answered truthfully. Yes, the two girls were roommates but they weren't exactly close. They were sort of getting there.
"You should talk to her."
"I'm not someone she'd tell all to."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, before a large man walked in.
Ganon, their history teacher, strode into the classroom, immediately going to Bayonetta.
Ganon made everyone uncomfortable. Everyone. They didn't really know how, but he just did.
"Miss B, may I speak to you for a minute?" He asked.
Bayonetta smiled and nodded, following him out the door.
"What if he gets all creepy on her...?" Pit asked.
"I'm pretty sure Miss Bayonetta could defend herself... but still... you know..."
"Yeah... oh hey, I was supposed to meet that new kid down by the hotdog place."
"Oh that's fine."
"Yeah... uhh, I'll see you later!" Pit said while grabbing his bag, waving to Palutena as he ran out the door.
