Exchange For a Year

Chapter 16

Aaron's POV

I want to tell Aph about this but Mr Gavin walks in the room before I get a chance.

"Sir I can explain-"

I'm interrupted by Mr Gavin telling me to follow him to the principal's office. Aph looks confused but doesn't try to follow, I don't think she likes the teacher too much. I walk behind Mr Gavin knowing full well my parents will be here and angry. The principal doesn't look very happy as I walk in but Balto sits there with his parents looking mad as hell.

"Aaron Lycan, this is your first fight in a little while, care to explain?"

"Balto started touching my friend and then he shoved me,"

"Well he had mentioned you stopped him picking a mate by punching him,"

"No I didn't, besides she's not even a werewolf,"

"Who is this girl anyways, why isn't she here?"

"She's in detention Principal Layla,"

Only cause she is having trouble keeping up in class because she doesn't know proper English yet. I don't say that otherwise it might make matters worse for me. Yet I haven't had a serious fight since I met Aphmau and started hanging out with her and the others, I guess she's been a good influence on me but I suppose since my parents don't know it was her, they assume I was triggered by something.

"This is outrageous, others have broken windows before!"

"Mr Lycan this is an issue that must be addressed," she attempts to speak calmly.

"It's a natural werewolf agenda Ms Layla"

"This isn't about the window, it's about the fact your son engaged in a fight during class time,"

Of course this is angering him, he wants me to be just like Melissa but I'm not. It sucks being alone and ignored unless you do something wrong. Its just what I have to live with I guess. Out of nowhere a desperate knock at the door sounds and Aphmau bursts through.

"Por favor la señorita Layla no era suyos culpa que sólo me estaba defendiendo! No pude defenderme porque estúpidamente me quedé dormido. Pregúntale a esa pelirroja, él puede decirte,"

"Miss please refrain from barging in this is a private conversation,"

"Lo siento"

Everyone in the room turns to stare at her. I can't see this ending well at all. My father looks very unimpressed by her outburst. I bet she's asking for a death wish.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I Aaron's friend, he help me say English,"

"Aaron's friend?"

"Yes, he helps me a lot, I am exchange student from Spain"

My dad's expression actually softens, maybe this will turn out alright. She'll probably get in more trouble for being away from detention but knowing Jeffory he probably let her go cause all she did was sleep. My dad looks back at me, yeah, no-one expects me to have a friend but here she is.

"Well Aaron's friend, I'm Derek Lycan, his father."
