I walked into my first period class and took a seat as far as I could away from everyone so that I could avoid any type of conversation. Mr. Nickels was there but Luke wasn't.
Everybody around me was talking about the fight. People were even playing the videos they were sent of it. Jackson and Luke are going to be in so much trouble. Especially Jackson. He wasn't supposed to be getting in any trouble. Why did he even do it?
Suddenly I heard the intercom come on. "Melissa Wu, please report to the main office." She said in an irritated voice.
Mr. Nickels nodded and I left.
I made my way down the empty hallway and passed by my locker. What was going through their minds when they were fighting?
When I got to the office I immediately took a seat in the grey itchy chair, tired from the events that took place this wonderful morning.
The wooden door leading to the principal's office opened and Luke came out.
"Second day here and I'm already in a fight," he said with a smile.
"It's not funny", I said.
He looked like a mess. A hot mess! Stop it Mel! He had a cotton ball in his left nostril to prevent the blood from gushing out but it didn't help much. It was all over his t-shirt. His normally perfectly messy hair was now just a mess. He didn't even smell like his axe deodorant. He smelled like blood.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine". He said trying to brush off the pain he was obviously in.
The fight wasn't his fault. Jackson punched him first. I thought yesterday I had a bad day.
Then the door opened again but this time a lady in khaki pants and a striped shirt stepped out with a very agitated Jackson following her. I assumed that she was his social worker by seeing the black leather briefcase in her hand.
"Mel", he said.
Instead of sitting there and listening to him trying to apologize I got up and stepped around him.
"I'm sorry", he said.
I was going to tell him to be-quiet but Luke did it for me.
"Shut up. She doesn't want to hear it," Luke snapped.
Jackson lunged toward him but his social worker grabbed him.
"Cody, stop!" She yelled.
"It's Jackson", he barked.
"Cody, Cody, Cody." Luke said with a mischievous smile. A really hot smile I thought.
Jackson grunted.
I had had enough so I stepped into the principal's office and slammed the door. Angry at Jackson's behavior and at my thoughts toward Luke.
I was asked to give a statement about what had happened. When I was done Principal Richard spoke.
"Seeing as too how you where there when the fight took place and might I add, did nothing to stop it, you will be serving two of the five detentions the gentlemen outside will be serving.
"What, I tried to stop them." I yelled.
"Let's make that three," he said.
"Ugh". I got up and left the office not even looking at Jackson or Luke.
"Don't worry Ms. Wu I will be calling your parents."
"Mel", Jackson and Luke said at the same time but I was already gone.
His words continued to ring in my head like a nonstop doorbell, "I will be calling your parents."
The rest of the day was a blur to me as I thought about what my father would do………
