Chapter 15: The Office Meeting

😒" At School "😒

☆" Tuesday Morning "☆

🌈" Ryan's POV "🌈

I take a few deep breaths. My head is throbbing, my body is aching, and my hand is hurting. I start to limp my way to the school building after getting outta Blake's Mustang.

I limp up the stairs and to my locker. Notes stuck on my locker, I don't even bother to read them. I pull them off and decide I'm gonna throw them away when I walk by a trashcan.

I put my combo in and open my locker taking my heavy bag off of my back and putting the things I don't need for my first two classes in my locker.

I close my locker and go to start to try and make it to my class but, before I could even get 5 steps away from my locker I heard the stupid jocks calling name.

"HEY, RYAN!", I roll my eyes and turn on one heel facing them. I'm seriously not in the mood. I think to myself as they approach me.

"I heard that you've been limping, is it true that you actually are a slut?", the leader asks making my hands ball up in fists by my sides.

"I'm not in the mood today.", I say through gritted teeth trying to stay calm.

"Aww, what's wrong? Do you got cramps or stomach ache from last night?", he asks in a baby tone and his followers start to laugh, I roll my eyes and start to walk away from them but the leader of the jocks grabs my wrist that still has healing burn marks.

I hiss in pain as I'm pulled back in front of him.

"What happened to your hand?", he asks in fake concern.

"It's none of yours or anybody else's business! SO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME AND STAY THE FUCKING HELL OUTTA MY WAY!", I yell getting angry. I snatched my wrist outta his hand and storm off even though my body is hurting.

🎶" At Music "🎶

"Okay class, listen up!", Mr.Anderson's voice echoes through the classroom.

"Today you're just gonna be working on your projects. Continue where you left off at. Remember I gave you three months and now you're down to two months.", he says as if it's no pressure at all.

I gotta think. Think of something that isn't so depressing. I think to myself rubbing temples

"Do you want us to help give you ideas?", Ember asks and I shrug

"Sure, all I can think about is songs about my depressing life.", I say to them taking outta sheet of paper and a pencil. They look at each other for a second and nod making me confused.

"Actually, we have an idea that I'm pretty sure would be easier for you to do.", Blake says as Ember gives back the sheet of paper and my pencil.

"Oh really?", I ask curiously wanting to know what they meant.

"Yeah.", Ember says

"How about the main point of the song is how you feel, like your feelings, why feel this way, and all of that.", she says and my eyes widen in shock.

"Do you guys seriously think that's a good idea I mean like Ember you've read one of my songs I haven't even finished yet and you looked really sad after reading it.", I say to them quietly not liking the idea so much.

"Yeah, of course. If you don't like the idea we can try and figure out another one but that idea is probably gonna be the least expected.", Blake says and I sigh in defeat. I don't want my song being just plain ole blah, so I guess the best way is to go with the idea.

"Fine, we can do that idea.", I sigh out and they started to cheer out loudly causing the whole attention of the class to look at us. They apologize for the interruption and sit back down.

"Okay so, I guess I should start writing so we can practice and what not.", I say and they nod. They walk away and grab the instruments that they'll be playing and start practicing with them, well, that's at least what I'm assuming they are doing.

I start to write the song just letting the lyrics pour out from my heart as I write them down.

💋" Lunch Time "💋

Well now it's lunch time. My body is still hurting and my head is still throbbing. I walk into the cafeteria not all that hungry in fear of throwing it up cause of how much pain I'm in, I walk over to the table I normally sit at and roll my eyes when I see Chase sitting in the seat next to the one I normally sit in.

"Chase?", I ask calmly sitting down in my seat that's next to him.

"Hey Ryan, what's up?", he asks

"The ceiling and above that the sky.", I say sarcastically pulling out my notebook I've been writing the song in. I think I'm gonna put the title as "What I feel" or something along those lines. I practically feel chases eyes burning holes in the side of my head with laser beams. Aww man, that'd be so cool if someone could actually shoot laser beams from their eyes. I think to myself as I turn my head and glare at Chase.

"What the hell do you want Chase?!", I snap on accident. I didn't really mean to snap it's just I don't like a whole lot of attention or people staring at me.

"Sorry, I just wanted to know if we could be friends or as you called it before I left to be popular 'talking buddies'.", he says and I roll my eyes.

"Only time will tell so now, can I continue with this without you shooting laser beams at me?", I ask sarcastically and he sighs but nods his head. He walks away to where I'm guessing is where he normally sits with the jocks.

"God, could this place get anymore cliche?", I ask myself and I guess I spoke to soon considering that the announcement speakers called for Summer, Stacey, Blake, Ember, and I to come up to the office.

This can't be good. I think to myself as we get up and hear 'oooo's and 'ooo, you're in trouble's as we walk out.

😅" At The Office "😅

Well I guess I spoke to soon, I thought it couldn't get anymore cliche, oh how wrong I was. In the office sits the guy that tried to beat me up in the parking lot with cuts and bruises and a ticked off looking principle.

"Oh shit!", I whisper yell causing the whole group to laugh

"Haha! So funny! I'm legit in deep trouble if my parents find out about this!", I whisper yell in a quieter tone.

"Well, we'll do our best so h

that doesn't happen.", Summer says and they all nod in agreement then I hear the office door open.

"Ryan, you're up first.", some lady I've never seen before says and I get up outta my seat and walk in the room. The guy that tried to beat me up, I can't remember his name or if I was even told his name, was sitting in the corner of the room with a smirk and I roll my eyes.

"Yes Mr.Berry, how can I assist you?", I ask in, as best I can, British accent.

"Well most definitely none of that.", he gestures to what I did.

"So anyways, why am I here Mr.Berry?", I ask innocently

"Well, this young man.", he says pointing to whats his name

"Says that you beat him up in the school parking lot on Thursday of last week and threatened him saying if he told anyone you'd kill him, is this true?", he asks causing me to try and in a life but I couldn't.

"Is that seriously the best he came up with?", I ask looking back at him and seeing he's glaring at me.

"Please answer the question Ms.Smith, did you or did you not do those things?", he asks and I shake my head.

"No Mr.Berry.", I say and he nods

"Okay, I wanna hear your side of the story and then we'll go from there.", he says and I nod

"Okay so, Once upon a time-", I say before I'm cut off

"Ms.Smith! This is a serious matter! Please stop messing around and trying to act funny!", he says in a raised tone and I roll my eyes

"This is as serious as you're gonna get so, can I continue?", I ask and he sighs in defeat with a nod.

"Okay so, Once upon a time, I was walking to my locker to get my things, then I walked outta the school building and was fixing to start walking home when I hear Ember.", I say pointing to her outside the window.

"Call my name. I stop and wait for to catch up to me. When she did, she was asking about where and when I wanted to meet up with her and Blake for our project, at least I think I know it was something about our project I just can't remember what about our project, but anyways, we were talking when that donkey decided to knock me over on purpose.", I say gesturing to what's his name. Mr.Berry raises a brow at the kid who now has a look of worry on his face.

Yeah you son of a bitch! See what happens when you lie! I think to myself and chuckle out loud.

"Anyways, my anger to control over me and we had this argument about how I thought it was rude of his dumbass fo-", I'm cut off by Mr.Berry

"Language young lady.", he says and I roll my eyes.

"No more interruptions or else you won't get to the bottom of this problem.", I say and continue.

"So anyways, as I was saying, we got into this argument about how rude I thought it was that this dumbass decided to knock into me while I was talking to Ember. I mean I would've let it slide if I wasn't talking to anyone but I was so I thought it was rude.", I say to him

"A crowd of students started to surround us and I guess he wanted to give them a show or something he tried to swing at me but I dodged the punch and he stumbled, which by the way dude that's a low blow.", I say yelling towards him.

"But anyways after him starting to look exhausted I was planning on calling it a quits but he insisted so, he came back and tried to hit me again I grabbed his arm and flipped him over my back, he fell to the ground and got back up quickly then I backed away not wanting to hurt him but he kept coming towards me so I used self defense and punched him right here.", I says pointing to my keyhole

"So, ya see I only hit him like once and I actually have a bruise from him.", I say and show the bruise on that's on my cheek.

"And besides, why would he wait so long to come and confess to you when he could've came and confessed everything that day or the morning after?", I ask with a shrug. Mr.Berry gives the kid a suspicious eye and looks back at me.

"Okay, go out and get your other friend, Summer.", he says I nod and get up walking out.

"Summer Mr.Berry wants to speak to you.", I say and one by one we were questioned and what not.

After about 2 hours of boredom we were done being questioned and were told that we could call our parents to take us home. Stacey called her parents asking if they could come pick her and us up and they agreed. Thank the lords and heavens.

So, now we're on our way to Stacey's house in her parent's car.
