Getting Into Trouble[3]

"Em....Tita, Carissa got into another fight today"

"But it was not her fault" she quickly added

"So what happened"

Dyosa began to explain everything in details while Carissa just stood there still enraged.

"Just because they are rich, they think they can step on anybody they like. We are poor but we are humans like them" she said angrily.

"I will go to them, I want to talk some sense into that Sam's head"

Dyosa immediately grabbed her hand and drew her back.

"Tita, you don't need to do that. Carissa already taught him a lesson. He won't want to come near her again" she convinced her.

Elvira was truly going to see Sam's parent and curse at them for not teaching their son how to respect ladies.

"I can't just watch people harass the both of you. You are both my children"

"Tita, I know but just let it go"

"Let me make soup for the both of you" she went to the kitchen and brought two bowl of soup.

"Come and have your seat" she placed the soup on the table and they began to sip it. After taking the soup,they put on an apron to help their mothers at the resturant.

At Alvardo street, Binondo.

Mrs Belen was sitting on the couch watching a TV program when they came in. Carissa went to her grandma and greeted her. Her grandma noticed her torn cloth.

"Apo, what happened to your dress?" curious

"Your granddaughter got into another fight with a rich brat and this is what happened...."

She began to explain what Dyosa told her at the resturant.

"Why don't you report to the school authority" she exclaimed angrily

"Dyosa told me to forget about it. It's a good thing my daughter did not get injuries because I won't take it easy with them"

"Carissa, come here" Carissa walked to her grandma and sat on the floor and placed her head on her grandma's laps. Her grandma began to pat her head slowly.

Mrs belen always do this to her when ever she is sad, angry or depressed. Carissa could feel the warmth of her grandma's hand and soon she fell asleep.

Next morning.

After breakfast, Carissa was ready for school and she saw her mom also dressed.

"Em... Nay, where are you going?" she asked, curiously

"To your school"

"What!" she looked startled for a moment, and then composed herself. But her mom never told her that and her mom promised her that she won't take action. Did she change her mind?

"Nay, but you told me that you will just let it go"

"But your principal invited me to your school"

"What!" she was surprised

"Let's go. We can't be late, okay" she took her black bag and left the house.

"Why do that woman have to call my mom?" she murmured

"Anak, I am waiting" she called from outside

"I'm coming" she bidded her grandma goodbye and left the house.

At the principal's office.

Mrs Reyes, Sam's mother was seated in the office with Sam, whose face was full of brusies. After the the beating he got yesterday, he went home to show his parent the injuries.

"Son, what happened to your face"

Mrs Reyes is a beautiful woman. She looks like a Filipina actress. She has a white skin and wore a short black gown. Her hair was curled down to her waist.

"Mom, I was beaten up by a girl" he said pretending to cry

"Which girl" she was furious.

"Her name is Carissa. She is my classmate. Mom, this is what happened, I told her that I wanted to sit on her seat but this girl was furious and she pushed me to the ground. After school, I thought it will be good if I apologized to her but she began to beat me" he lied.

"Oh my dear son, this is so unfair" she raged angrily.

"I will go to your school tomorrow. Who the hell does she think she is?" she began to curse at Carissa.

Sam was able to convince his mother to fight back. He will not still give up, he wanted trouble for Carissa.

After some minutes of waiting, the door finally opened and Elvira's and Carissa's faces showed up. They walked into the office and sat down.

"I think you know the reason why we are here today" the principal spoke first. She wore a black suit and a dark glasses. Her hair was graying and her face was wrinkled.

"So I need to hear from both parties. Sam you go first" she looked at Sam.

"Yesterday morning, I sat on Carissa's seat and I told her that I wanted to stay on her seat and she should use my seat but she refused and pushed me to the ground"

"What! You are a lair! You provoked me"

"Shut up! Sam carry on" the principal shouted at Carissa which made her shut up.

"After closing hour, I went to her so I can apologize but she went crazy and started beating me" he lied

Carissa was furious, and now she wanted to beat him but she had to control herself.

"Carissa, can I hear from your side?"

"When I got to class yesterday, I saw him on my seat and I told him to leave my seat but he refused. Since I don't want to cause trouble, I left for another seat but he followed me and called my mom names and he threw my book away. He provoked me and that's why I pushed him away. After closing, Dyosa and I were heading home when they crossed our way and they started causing trouble. They were harassing us and he tore my sleeve and that's why I beat him"

"You can see this girl is lying. Where is your evidence?" Mrs Reyes spats at her

"Dyosa was there when it happened"

"Call Dyosa" the principal demanded.

After some minutes, dyosa came in. She was trembling when she saw the people waiting for her.

"I can sense trouble here. But why did they call me?" she thought and bit her lower lip.

"Dyosa, I heard you were there when this two fought yesterday"

""Yes ma'am" she nodded her head

"Can you tell it to us what happened"

Dyosa explained what happened to the principal while she listened.

"Liar, she is just defending her because she is her friend" Sam was mad

"No, I am not lying"

"I will love to call my friends too" he requested.

"Go ahead"

His friends came in one by one, the principal asked them the same questions and they lied.

"They are all lying ma'am. He tore my daughter's sleeve" Elvira spoke

"And what do you know? Your daughter almost killed my son" Mrs Reyes could not hold her peace so she fired back

"But your son started it"

"It's true that you are a mistress. Husband snatcher!

Elvira expression darkened as she could not hold her peace.

"And what about you? Do you think you are the only one your husband love? He has so many mistresses out there. And I am not a mistress"

The two started shouting at each other that the principal could not hold it any more with a 'bang' on the table, "Will you both sit down and stop acting like children" she tapped her head like she was feeling head ache from their shouting. She called some student from their class to testify and the spoke the truth.

"You see, your son is a liar" Elvira spatted at Ms Reyes

"You have to expel this witch. Ever since my son got to this school, he has never caused any trouble but when she came....you have to expel her"

"I can't do that ma'am" the principal spoke calmly

Mrs Reyes face darkened when she heard that, "But why"

"Your son was the one that started the fight and the worst thing was that he harass these girls and tore her sleeve. I have to expel your son"

"What!" she was shocked.

She brought out a paper, signed it and gave it to Sam.

"Ma'am, you can't do this to me"

"I will sue your school . Do you know who we are?" Mrs Reyes shouted angrily

"I know, you are Mrs Reyes" she said coldly

"We won't tolerate any immoralities. Please leave my office" she took out some documents and stared working on them

"Thank you ma'am" Carissa bow politely to her and left
