I present you… chapter 2! Sorry it was late!. Shout-out to Brittany, because I forgot to give her one in chapter 1! This chapter is for you!
Eli didn't want to be escorted off of school property, so he though that he should leave. He said goodbye to his friends, and then walked out to the parking lot. He got into his hearse and drove home. He would enjoy these two weeks off. At least he didn't have to deal with anyone from school while he was at home… And by anyone from school, he meant Fitz. …But it sucked that his parents grounded him. He wasn't aloud out of the house, and he couldn't use his laptop or his phone. He couldn't even watch tv.
He just sat at home sleeping, eating, talking on the phone with his friends when his parents were at work or couldn't hear him, and prank-calling people. What a boring suspension, especially when he was confined to his tiny bedroom all day long. But he didn't have to go to school, so he could deal with being bored. He just hoped that he didn't miss too much at school. He had never been interested in academics, but he was trying to pass this year. School had only been back in session for one month, so missing two weeks of school wouldn't hurt him that much. He just hoped that he didn't fail the eleventh grade again…
Eli sat in his room playing video games. Tomorrow would be his last day of suspension, and then he could go back to school and see his friends.
He heard his parents coming home from work, so he quickly turned his Xbox off.
"Eli!" His mother called. "Can we see you in here for a few minutes?"
"Sure." He called. What did they want? He walked into the living room. Both of his parents were sitting on the couch next to each other. Wow, this must be something big if they were sitting down for it…
"Honey, your father and I have something to tell you. Now don't get mad. W-"
"-Are you pregnant?"
"No, sweetie. Why would you think that?"
"Because you called me in here for this little 'meeting' thing, so I was guessing that it was something really important."
"Oh… Well, it is important…" His mother said.
His dad decided to just come out and say it. "We're transferring you to a different school."
"What?" Eli looked at each of his parents to see if they were telling the truth. "Why the fuck would you do that?"
"Elijah Evan Goldsworthy, do not use that language with me!" His mother snapped. "It is exactly what you deserve."
"But I haven't done anything."
"Well, unless you've had amnesia while you were in you're room the whole time, you would know why! You spray painted your principal's car! We shouldn't be letting you off this easily!"
"I didn't spray paint her fucking car! Blake did." As soon as he said it, he regretted it. He had told Blake that he wouldn't tell on him. He knew that his mother would tell Hatzilakos that it was Blake and not him who had spray painted her car.
"Then why did Ms. Hatzilakos suspend you?"
"Well, I kinda helped him…"
"What do you mean you kind of helped?" His father asked.
"Well, I did spray paint it, but it was Blake's idea, and he spray painted more of the car than I did…"
"Well, that still doesn't mean you're not in trouble. …Let me call Ms. Hatzilakos and tell her that it wasn't only you."
"Dad… don't." Eli stepped in front of his father, blocking the phone.
"Why not?"
"I told Blake that I wouldn't tell anyone."
"Fine. For now. …But we're still sending you to private school."
"Wait, private school as in…private school? Are you serious?"
His mother nodded. "Elijah, Degrassi Preparatory Academy is a wonderful school."
"But I hate that school! It's too prep, and it's filled with nothing but stuck-up jerks. …Besides, it's an all-boys school."
"Relax, there is an all-girls school right next to it. The schools are basically joint, and they share the cafeteria and auditorium. You will still be able to see girls."
"Dad, this is not about girls! This is about my friends! How am I supposed to see them if I'm going to a boarding school?"
"Eli, relax. You still have the weekends."
"Dad, are you even listening to me? I hate that school with a passion! We all do." By all, he meant he and his friends hated the school. "And they give like a lot of homework. How am I supposed to balance schoolwork and hanging out with my friends only on the weekends?"
"You'll deal."
Eli scoffed. "…How did I even get in anyway? Don't you need to be really smart to get in there?"
"No, they don't make you take a test. And you are smart." His mother said, coming back into the room. "I just spoke with the headmaster, and we'll be meeting with her on Saturday." It was Thursday, so maybe he could find a way to get out of this by then…
