The students living in the dorms on campus woke up Monday morning to dogs barking and police officers searching the premises. Most of them left their rooms with confused looks while others looked worried and probably scared that the officers would somehow find something in their rooms.
When Max emerged from the entrance, she saw that the principal was standing there with an officer and asking all students to hand over their keys to their rooms and being informed that a conducted search would take place. Not thinking about it, Max handed her key over, knowing that she didn't have anything to hide. As she started to walk away, Max heard the familiar voice of Victoria arguing with the principal.
"No. I will not hand over my room key." Victoria yelled. "I know my rights, and I don't give them permission to enter my room." She continued yelling.
"A teacher has been drugged for the second time this semester, miss Chase. And that warrant is for every room on campus, including the dorms. Either you let the officers into you room or they will force their way in. Or perhaps the reason you don't want them in your room is because you are hiding something." The principal said as he walked up to Victoria. "Which one is it?" he asked as he stopped in front of Victoria before holding out his hand. "Hand over the key to your room and continue to class along with the rest of the students living in this dorm." He said as Victoria reluctantly handed the principal the key to her room before storming off.
"What are you looking at selfie-hoe." Victoria said as she passed Max on the way to the main entrance.
"Someone is in a bad mood." Max said to herself before continuing to class.
Halfway through the day a handful of students got called into the principal's office. One of which was Victoria Chase.
"Care to explain why we found the exact same drugs in you room that has been used on Mr. Jefferson?" Officer Berry asked Victoria when she was made to sit down.
"How should I know. Maybe someone planted them there." Victoria shot back not caring in the slightest how she talked to the officer.
"And who would that be?" Officer Berry asked.
"Max Caulfield perhaps." Victoria said. "She has always tried to impress Mark with her dumb selfies and analogue camera." She continued. "Hiding the drugs in the middle drawer of my bureau could be her attempt to have me gone since I'm considered competition for his attention. I think that wasn't the best of ideas really." Victoria said, not realising that the officer never mentioned where the drugs were found.
"I never mentioned where the drugs were found miss. And we searched all the rooms and yours were the only one with illegal drugs in it." Officer Berry said in a serious tone making Victoria realise her mistake.
"W-well, I just thought." Victoria said.
"You just thought what? That it's ok to drug others without their knowledge? What were you planning on doing with Mr. Jefferson that required him to be drugged?" Officer Berry shot back. "A student nearly got raped miss and when we took their statements, the girl in question said that Mr. Jefferson had been drinking coffee. When we took the dogs into the teachers' lounge, they all marked the same container of instant coffee." He continued.
"I just wanted him to notice me. To see that I have what it takes to survive in the art world. I didn't know that the combination would be that strong or effective." Victoria finally admitted as she broke down crying as the officer put hand cuffs on her.
"You are hereby detained for the possession of illegal drugs and for admitting to drugging others without their knowledge." Officer Berry said. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you do say may be used against you. You have the right to an attorney and the right to not be searched without a warrant." He continued as he took Victoria out to the waiting police car.
For the rest of the day, the school was filled with gossiping students talking about Victoria being led out in cuffs. It didn't die down when she was escorted back into the school at the end of the day. As she was led to a chair in the principal's office Victoria saw the disappointed faces of all the teachers and when she looked at Mr. Jefferson, he turned and walked out from the room.
"It's sad that it has come to this." The principal said as he stood in front of the window. "I first wanted to expel you, but since we are so close to graduation, I was convinced by some of your teachers and your parents to let you graduate. Had your grades not been as excellent as they are, you would have been expelled, no questions asked. In the past students have been expelled for less. Instead, this incident will go into your permanent records here at Blackwell and it may or may not hinder you from attending other colleges or universities." He said as he turned around and sat down in his chair as he looked at Victorias silent crying.
"You are hereby suspended from Blackwell for knowingly putting a teacher as well as fellow students in danger. You are not to attend any classes and once graduation is over your diploma will be sent to your parents' address." The principal said as Victoria was sitting in the chair across from him with a chocked expression on her face. "Your parents will arrive tomorrow morning to pick you and your belongings up from the dorm. Please be ready by then." The principal said as he got back up. "Mr. Madsen, could you please escort miss Chase here back to her room and make sure that she stays there for the rest of the day." He asked the head of security. "I have also asked your friends to help you pack, giving you the opportunity to say your farewell to them in person." He continued as Mr. Madsen made Victoria stand up before escorting her to her room.
