Between Us - Kory and Zaire

Chapter 14

ZAIRE'S POV

I got up from my desk hearing the end of the day bell ring. Everyone rushed out of the class frantically, while I took my time as to not get trampled. I mean its hard to trample a tall guy like me, but you get it. I got my bag over my left shoulder, walking out of my class towards Kory's class. As I walked down the halls someone got into my way, having my gaze look up... Ah fuck. It's Reed.

"Zaire" he said

"Mr. Reed" I said back, glancing to behind him I saw Devin giggling like a little bitch with his friends

"I want you to come to my office. Now" He told me

Sighing heavily I took out my phone as I followed him, texting Kory where I would be. I went inside of his office, slumping down on the worn out leather seat that was in front of his desk. I watched him go behind it, sitting on his armed office chair

"You know why you're here" he said to me in a stern voice

I rolled my eyes, sitting up somewhat. "Amuse me Mr. Reed" I said

He snarled at my remark, taking out his phone. He played a video, pausing right when Devan was about to punch Kory. I looked at it, then looked at him

"You caused this" he said. "I heard Devon telling Mr. Herman you hit him"

That little bitch. He has nerves to not confront me after slapping me in the face and turn things around

"And if I told you I was the one slapped you won't believe me" I said back, having my right leg cross my left

"And whose fault is that?" He asked back with a glare. "Kevin, twice. Natasha, three times. Now Devon too" he furrowed his brows

I sat back in my seat. "What else is new Mr. Reed?"

"What's new is that you stole your phone from someone"

What? Oh fuck don't fucking tell me Devon told him that too. I took out my iPhone and showed him

"You mean this?" I asked

Reed took the phone away from my hands. He turned it to its side, staring at it with a look of admiration. "Let's be honest Zaire, you can't afford this"

I looked him in the eyes. "You're right. I can't afford that. Neither can my dad"

"Then you stole this" he sat back. "Its a good thing I called your parents, they're coming here any minute now"

Parents? I thought Reed knew I only had a dad. Or is he being insensitive just to mock that I have a single dad? You really are a degenerate piece of shit

Soon I heard the door behind me open, with my father's footsteps come in. I sigh heavily, standing up and turning to him. My eyes widened seeing Luther by his side, hand in hand with my father. I glanced at Reed, whose jaw dropped from seeing Luther too

"Why did you call us here?" My father asked

"Ah, m-mister Mandala, Mister Seijirou... Zaire would be getting expelled on the basis of violence and theft" Reed said, his strong tone got all shaky

"Theft?" Luther raised a brow. "What did my son steal?"

I almost choked when Luther said I was his son. And my dad didn't look phased at all! I stepped back, letting the two seats to be occupied by Luther and my dad

"This sir" Reed held up my phone

"What proof do you have that he stole it?" My father asked, his brow twitched with annoyance
