Ten minutes later after much whining and grumbling, Bella had finally come to the principal's office where Hekate already sat perfectly unconcerned with what was happening. Principal Greene sat down behind his desk and sighed. "Now, Ms. Swan, after hearing what the other students take on the incident I have no doubt you were at fault, I highly doubt everyone in that line was lying. You are suspended for a week for inciting a fight in the Cafeteria. Go wait for your father outside." Mr. Greene intoned seriously.
Bella Got up with a Huff and stomped out the room, slamming the door behind her. Mr. Greene sighed before turning to Hekate, though before he could speak Hekate cleared her throat. "So, I assume I'm free to go?" she said confidently.
Mr. Greene scowled. "No Ms. Potter, I was thinking along the lines of giving you the same punishment. This school has a Zero tolerance for fighting Policy," he said seriously. To his immense surprise, Hekate laughed.
"Oh that's funny, tell me, Mr. Greene, did you know bullying is a crime punishable by law? And if so did you know Bella Swan has been bullying me, on school grounds might I add, since i arrived, give or take a few days, and if in fact, you had known, which I suspect you have, why has she not been punished for it?
Don't answer that, I know why, it's because she's the chief's daughter and you were reluctant to do anything lest he get angry at you, which is an insult to Charlie Swan, a man who is the epitome of honorable, that being said how do you think the papers would react to hearing about you punishing the victim, hmm? Oh and I'm not talking about the local paper, I'm talking national news, the Washington Post, New York Times. The whole nine yards, they crave this kind of story you know.
You're a small-town man so you probably don't know the implications of this so I'll spell it out for you, you'd be fired, to put it bluntly. The board of education would crack under the pressure of public outcry. and to appease the mob, so to speak, you would be the sacrificial lamb, the bastard Principal whose more concerned with what the chief of police thinks of him than he is with his students.
But of course, that is neither here nor there, and such an outcome would only come about if someone who is extremely well connected, like Nobility, called their reporter friend -a reporter with a sharp tongue and even sharper pen, a reporter whose words could make the pope look like a lunatic- and gave them the story. Do we have an understanding?" Hekate asked, grinning at the shocked and slightly fearful expression in the principal's eyes, of course, it helped that she had put a small compulsion on him to fear her words.
-Scene-
An hour later she exited her Lambo and walked the now-familiar path up to the Cullens front door, boy did she have a story to tell them! Taking Swan down a peg and threatening an authority figure all in one day, life was good.
Esme came to the door and had pulled it open before Hekate Had even reached the front steps, She smiled at the motherly woman she had come to adore. "Hey Esme, Is anyone else in? Id like to tell them about what happened today." She said cheerfully. Esme smiled. "No, they're all out hunting and took advantage of the sunny day to go out farther than usual, I believe Emmett had his heart set on Canada." She said with an amused roll of her eyes.
Hekate snorted. "Of course, plenty of grizzlies for him, lions for Edward, and I suppose the others would have to make do with the bison and wolves," She said, sighing as if the last part were a real tragedy. Esme laughed aloud. "Well, why don't I make you some tea and you can tell me all about what happened today, no doubt I'll not approve," she said, Esme had come to learn that Hekate had a very lively vindictive streak and liked her revenge served freezing cold. It wasn't something she could be talked out of, and that it was something she should just be allowed to get out of her system.
And with the way Hekate was bouncing around, she had just gotten revenge on someone, there were a few people that Esme knew of that were on Hekate's shit list. Mrs. Stanley for pestering her relentlessly about her day to day life as a lady, something Hekate had told her repeatedly was not her business. The principal for yelling at Hekate, insisting that she shouldn't drive such a car to school because it was causing a distraction. And the secretary at the police station for gossiping.
Hekate smiled. "Well it all started like this…" and just like that, she was off, only too happy to discuss her day with the caring woman she was quickly coming to see as a mother.
That's all for now, this was just a bit of a filler chapter, I'm sorry I'm late, to be honest, I kinda lost the original chapter while I was cleaning out my old documents and accidentally deleted it. It wasn't much different from this one, maybe a few extra sentences but that's about it. Anywho next chapter will have a bit of Bella POV, Charlie's reaction to her suspension, and some fluff with Hekate and Edward, Have a wonderful day! Blessed be!
