Anthony
"You boys have been pulled up here how many times..?" The principal asks, rubbing her chin with her dainty fingers. She was very tall and had wavy blond hair that shun when the light hit it. Her lips were pink like radishes and her eyes were a vibrant green. See, the principal had grown fond of us and so she wasn't as mean.
"About fifteen times. That's the most I've ever had to bring anyone up to my office." Her name was Ella, but everyone calls her Principal Trance. "I hope you guys understand that I can't keep bringing you up here during seminar. I have work to do." I nod.
"Yes. I'm sorry."
"Sorry." Bear says casually. Ella sighs.
"I guess I'll just have to call your parents. It seems about time." Both Bear and I jolt up.
"No!" We say in unison.
"Please don't, miss. We'll try to behave ourselves." I plead. She clenches her fists.
"Fine." The principal states, "But, the next time you're told on, I will call both of your parents for inappropriate behavior." We nod.
"Well, I hope you two can behave yourselves…" She says sternly, "because I have to run a few errands." I nod and bump my foot into Bear's. We both were sitting on her couch that was located near her window; behind her desk. Principal Ella left and closes the door, peeking behind just to make sure we didn't do anything.
I wait a couple of seconds before placing my hand on his.
"So, tonight, you coming over?" I ask, smiling brightly.
"Maybe. it depends on how my mother feels." Bear squeezes my hand. I feel my cheeks warm up. "You hardly come over now. I mean, last time you actually came you only stayed until dinner. Besides the fact that you didn't even eat with us." I sigh and lean my head against his shoulder. He grunts and I feel his body vibrate with his actions; I grow goosebumps.
"Sorry." Bear says.
"Okay. Tonight, you are coming over and spending the night." Both our cheeks flush at the words spending the night.
"Yes, I'll go. I guess i'll have to talk to my mother and see if they allow me." Bear circles his thumb against the top of my hand. We hear muffles outside of the door and quickly separate ourselves from each other in that little time.
"I'm back." The principal cheers, "You two are being released early. It turns out that you two weren't the boys that got told on! I'm terribly sorry for accusing you both."
"But we-"
"Thank you. Have a great day, miss." Bear interrupts me. I give him a nasty glare, and grab my bag.
"Why did you lie!? That is against my moral as a human!" I yell at Bear who practically jumps out of his skin. I never yell at him.
"You were a part of this as well, or do I have to remind you?" He says harshly.
I pull away from him.
"Anton?"
"What do you want me to say?" I nearly cry. "I am in so much trouble one way or another, and this scares me. I could lose you forever!" A tear runs down my cheek.
He pulls me closer to him. I feel his warmth. The hallway is empty, and people are clearing out, they're heading home. "You'll never lose me, Anthony."
