From Texas with love

Meeting and drama

"Well girls," The Principal set down the large folder he'd been reading "I'm very disappointed by your behavior. What you've done is against school policy. Now I let it slide before due to—"

"Excuse me, what do you mean you 'let it slide before?'" Shawn's ears turned red with rage "My son Shane was bullied so badly he almost had to leave school, all because he was not interested in her and she told everyone he—"

"Dad!" Shane interrupted "Let's not go there right now, please." He begged.

"Sorry, son."

The Principal tried to explain "Well you see, Mr. Hunter, there was not enough evidence that Miss Matthews started those rumors for us to pursue—"

"That's bull." Massey stood up sharply, shoving her chair back.

"Excuse me, Miss, watch your language." The Principal frowned.

"Don't speak to my daughter like that!" Darren Prescott growled.

"But, Captain—"

"No!" Darren's voice was low and calm but very dangerous "This meeting is about them brats and how they try get their way all the time and get off without any punishments somehow. Which is highly unethical, and against school code of conduct."

The Principal protested "It's not up to me, the head of the school board—"

"Yep, my Uncle!" boasted Riley "You can't do anything to me." She whispered to Massey.

Maya was smirking too. She planning the downfall of Massey Prescott when Riley's Uncle Jon Turner heard about all of this.

"Miss Hart, don't think you're getting out of here without a serious talk." The Principal frowned at the blonde who was clearly not paying attention "I'm also very disappointed with your behavior. Not only did I find that you tried to shame Miss Prescott by filming her in a compromising situation but I find that this is not the first time you've tried something like this. That is not something I can sweep under the rug. I've spoken to the deputy head of the school board, as the head of the school board is under investigation for the last event two years ago against Shane Hunter."

"WHAT?!" Riley yelled "He didn't do anything!"

"The fact that he's your godfather says otherwise."

Cory glared hard at the girls.

"Um, Daddy?" Riley turned desperately to her father.

"No, Riley, I am so angry and ashamed right now. Do you realize that I might lose my job? I'm thinking hard about changing my lessons plans around so they don't all center around you and Maya."

"Why?" Riley pouted "It's always been that way and it works."

"Yeah" Maya soured and stared at Massey "This is all her fault."

"Want to say that again, brat?" Darren snarled.

"Okay, okay, calm down please. Let's keep this meeting on track. Mr. Hunter, any thoughts?" The Principal tried to defuse the tension.

"I'm upset that my old care giver would do something like this. He was like a father to me, but what he's done to my son I can never forgive. He's singled out my son. Yes, I want the investigators to dig deep and see who else sweeps the incident like this under the rug." Shawn's eyes narrowed as he looked at Cory, he didn't recognize the man who had once been his best friend.

"Riley...I think—" Maya began.

"No, Maya, it's fine. My mom is a killer shark." Riley insisted.

Cory went white, his wife wouldn't...ever since Shane came out and didn't date Riley...his daughter lied about what happened that day.

"Riley," Cory spoke up angrily "what you've done is a big deal. Jonathan or I could lose our jobs.

"Mr. Mathews, you are not losing your job, yet. We've decided to put you on leave for 3 weeks." The Principal said calmly.

Cory breathed a sigh of relief "Yes, thank you, sir."

Shawn saw how broken down Cory looked, but he knew it wasn't his fault. Being with Topanga has changed him over the years. Shawn felt bad that Cory could not be with Darren sister, they had been a good match. But now he feels broken and lost.

Shane spoke up "Sir, I don't think Mr. Mathews is at fault, sir, why are Maya or Riley not being punished?"

'Good question, son!' Shawn thought "I've been wondering that too." He said aloud.

The Principal grew pale "Um...well—" He stuttered.

"No! I demand—"

"You demand what, Darren?"
