Sean and Jay get called to the principal's office the next day because she got tips from students about them fighting outside.
She asked them what it was about but she asked Jay first and he told her a lie.
"Jason, why were you and Mr. Cameron fighting outside? I expect that you will tell me the truth because if you don't and I find out about it I will expel you. That goes for you to Mr. Cameron." The principal said.
"I know and I assure you that I won't lie." Jay said.
"Well please enlighten me. Explain why you and Mr. Cameron were fighting." The principal said.
"Well Sean and I have been best buds for a long time. A really long time ago before I even came to this school I did some drugs. I am clean now though. No more drugs for me. Anyway, Sean here must have found out about it because yesterday he came up to me in the hall with some pot and asked if I wanted to do some with him. I told him no and that doing stuff like that was for stupid losers who were going no where in life. He took that to offence I guess because the next thing I knew he was punching me in the face." Jay said.
Sean couldn't believe it.
"Well Mr. Cameron what do you have to say for yourself?" The principal asked.
"What I have to say for myself? Well I will tell you. That's complete bull. It's all one big lie. I would never do drugs and I had no idea Jay over here had even done them. That's not why we were fighting at all. We were fighting because of Emma." Sean said.
"Is this true Jason?" The principal asked.
"No it's not. You have had me in your office many times and not one of those times has it been because of a girl. Emma's my girlfriend and Sean's ex girlfriend and now former friend. There is no reason why we would be fighting over her. Sean is lying." Jay said.
"Mr. Cameron, Jason does have a point. He has been in my office for many things but none of them even come close to being in here for a girl. I have no other choice but to suspend you for the rest of the week. You can come back on Tuesday. You may go get your things from your locker and I will call your parents." The principal said.
"I don't have any parents. I live by myself." Sean said pissed off.
"Well then just get your things and go home. First thing Tuesday morning come to my office and I will give you all of the work you missed." The principal said.
"Yeah whatever. Bye." Sean said annoyed.
Jay lied and he was getting away with it. It wasn't the fact that Jay lied and got his suspended. Sean hated school to begin with so that part didn't matter. He only went because of Emma. That's what bothered him. Jay lied so Sean wouldn't be able to be around Emma.
Emma saw Sean coming down the hall while she was in her classroom so she asked to go the bathroom. She got a pass and ran up to Sean and kissed him.
"Whoa Emma don't." Sean said feeling a little sad.
"Why are you pushing me away? You said you loved me. I love you too." Emma said confused.
"I know but Jay just got me suspended. He said I offered him pot and how that was the reason why we were fighting. The principal believed him over me because she said Jay wouldn't fight over a girl. You almost aren't broken up with Jay." Sean said.
"But that wasn't the reason Sean. It was because of me. I'll tell our principal that. I will. And I will dump Jay. I need to and I want too." Emma said.
"No Emma don't. It'll just make it worse. Jay wants you all to himself otherwise he wouldn't have lied. And the whole dumping him thing with make it ten times worse so please don't." Sean said.
"Whatever. I don't want to be near him Sean. You saw what he almost did. He almost hit me because I stopped kissing him." Emma said trying to fit back the tears. She hated the fact that she was going out with someone who almost hit her.
"I know I know. But he almost hit you because you stopped kissing him and started looking at me. Em promise me that if anything bad happens to you while I am gone that you will tell me. I love you. I am always here for you. You are the best damn thing that's ever happened to me." Sean said.
"Sean I love you. And I promise." Emma said. Then she hugged Sean. "But while you're gone what am I supposed to do about Jay? I don't want to be considered his girlfriend anymore." Emma asked.
"You kind of have to be Em. Just pretend things are fine I guess." Sean said not looking at Emma.
"Alright. Sean I love you and I won't kiss him. I swear." Emma said.
"Emma you kissing him doesn't bother me because I know it's just an act to you. Just be careful though. Don't go anywhere alone with him. Got it?" Sean said warning her.
"Yeah." Emma said and then kissed him on the cheek.
After they talked Sean started walking home while Emma went back to class and got in trouble for taking so long.
