A/N
I'm so sorry I haven't updated- I have delete Wattpad for a bit, because I've become obsessed, constantly staying on my phone, and let's just say my Madre banned me for ages. Buuut~ when I re -installed the app, I was literally jumping in excitement on the TWO comments and votes that people put on MY. ACTUAL. STORY. WHAT EVEN IS LIFE.
Which is why, *dramatic pause*
This ones a long chappie.

ENJOY OMGOMGIFMJDOSVDJSBDJDHD CDXDXDXD

PS- heres a pic of Mrs Shanks>:3

Criminal:
A person who has committed a crime.

Broke the law; sinned, turned against the government... Betrayed the society.
Yup. That's me, Katniss, the girl on fire.

Except, my name's not Katniss, and if by 'on fire' you mean that my face is red as a tomato- then I definitely over-burn Everdeen herself.

So here I am, facing my school Head, who, until this very moment, managed to convince all the police staff around her that they mixed up the name of the person who put a citizen into hospital.

As John and I were approaching -if you haven't noticed, me and the young chap have become quite the acquaintances, if you if ignore Johnny's rants about his passion for his job- yet another waiting room, I heard Mrs Shank's shrill voice ring through the humid air like my phone alarm, just asking for a punch.

"-the most sensible lady in this damn country! No, the bloody continent!"

There was some muffled mutters, and then:

"She can't even kick a ball!"

Excuse me! Just because I happen to have a, let's say, failed contract with football, doesn't mean I can't kick another type of ball!

"I don't give a flying-"

"Ma'am, please calm down. If you are certain of this situation, we will be more than happy to check the CCTV cameras that were on watch at the time and place of the assault."

And that was my cue to reveal my identity.

As my feet dragged me towards the room containing seven officers standing around -quite comically- Mrs Shank like the Dwarfs around Snow White, the first kicks and punches of realisation hit me full force like a ton of invisible cold water.

Holy shnitzel, I'm in deep shi-

"Xenia?!"

-it.

"H-hello Mr- Mrs Shanks.." All I could do was send her a sheepish smile; the tension and awkwardness in the air was there like a naked lady eating pancakes. Not that I ever encountered the sight.

"Go on, tell them you're innocent! If your mother was here, ALL THE LIVING SOULS IN THIS ROOM WOULD BE FIRED BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURES IN TERMS OF THEIR JOBS AND-"

"Ma'am, I apologise for the inconve-"

"Don't apologise to me you nighead, apologise to this INNOCENT lady over HERE!"

Oh yes, I forgot to mention: my head teacher and my Mum were quite close- they went far back apparently, though I'm not too sure how these two completely different people even met.

Except, their ... Passionate personalities are the same, in a way.

"Uhh.." What the heck am I supposed to say? She's telling me to claim my innocence, when they could easily check the security cameras... And ask the 20 witnesses...

Oh fuck it.

"I'm innocent."

Silence. If John -the young police chap- was allowed to scatter done of his cricket pets and hide under a rock, I'm sure he'd do just that. Everyone stood there, frozen, and staring at me as if they just saw me for the first time.
