Authority

Turning my attention to the voice I see a girl who is in the same uniform as me. The look on her face tells me she is extremely annoyed.

"My name is Willow," I responded casually.

Huffing the girl said, "Who the fuck are you and who do you think you are to just fall asleep in class like that?"

Looking down at my nails I realized that I needed to paint them again. Some of the colors were breaking off and fading.

"Hey, are you listening to me? I asked you a question!" She practically shouted.

Sheepishly another girl across the room spoke up and said, "She is new here, maybe you should try being nice to her?"

"Shut up Amanda," The girl in front of me roared before turning her attention back towards me. "You better have a good reason for your behavior or I will get the principal to come here in the next minute."

This perked me up, "Really?" I asked excitedly.

The sudden cheeriness I showed stunned the girl and everyone in the room for a moment.

The new mysterious girl who seemed like she didn't care about anything abruptly sparked with charm.

After regaining her composure the girl responded arrogantly, "Yes, I will get him here right now so you better-"

"Yes, call him over," I said, cutting her off.

Getting red in the face the girl said, "You really don't know when to quit, fine have it your way."

"Alissa just let her be," A boy said, speaking up. "She isn't harming anyone, if she doesn't want to pay attention and fail then let her. It's not like she will last that long anyway."

"Hmph, you're right I bet she won't even last the day," The girl named Alissa who was still in front of me said with a smirk.

"So you aren't going to get that idiotic principle to come here?" I asked now annoyed.

Once again everyone in the room was left stunned. Who would dare to call the principal of the best school, Lakewood, idiotic?

"You asked for it bitch," Alissa said as she tapped a pendant on her chest that had the school logo on it.

Immediately after doing so, it turned blue and Alissa said, "What happens after this is on you."

After doing so the entire room turned blue as hidden LED lights revealed themselves. Then the whole classroom went on lockdown.

The windows turned dark black blocking out all color and an announcement that was pre recorded told students not to panic.

Not a minute later four armed military men came barging into the room followed by the man behind them.

"Get on the ground, put your hands in the air!" The military agents screamed over and over.

Every student including Alissa who was the one that called them dropped to the floor on their stomach and had their hands on top of their heads.

Yet I didn't move a muscle and remained in my chair at my desk.

"GET ON THE GROUND!" The men shouted as they pointed their assault rifles right at me.

"You really like to waste my time," I said nonchalantly as I stared right at the principal.

"Willow?!" The man who begged me to come to the school said shocked.

"This has been a very bad experience so far. I hope it's not always like this. Maybe it was a mistake coming here," I replied with a tone. "It's the second time a gun has been aimed at me in a couple of minutes."

Stuttering over his words the principal said, "What are you idiots going, quick put your guns down!"

This was absolutely absurd to all the people involved in the situation.

On what planet would the principal listen to orders from a student and make them feel most comfortable.

"Sir are you-" One of the men tried to say.

"Are you deaf I told you to put the guns down!" The principal yelled as he went over and pointed the gun in the man's hand to the ground. "Just get out of here."

After saying that he tapped a similar pendant on his chest which stopped the lockdown.

The blue LEDs went back into hiding and the windows changed back to their normal color.

"Willow I am so sorry I would like to apologize-"

"Is the deal set?" I asked, cutting him off.

"Yes, of course, that is so long as you still want to be here," The principal answered.

"Good then make sure Alissa here packs her bags, she's expelled."

Utter silence filled the room. How many shocks could these people handle? Surprise after surprise kept happening and no one could comprehend what's going on.

The color is Alissa's face drained.

How could this be happening was probably what she was thinking. The exact opposite of what she was expecting was occurring. It was supposed to be Willow who was getting expelled, not her. What had she done to deserve this? It was Willow who insulted everything they stood for. She slept in class and insulted the principal. This was just unfair.

"Willow, I'm sure it's been a stressful day but aren't you being a little rash? I mean Alissa is a valued student here at Lakewood and losing her like this wouldn't be right," The principal tried to argue.

"What's your name?" I asked the principal, ignoring his points.

"My name? Oh, my apologies I guess I never told you. You can call me Mr. Woods," The principal answered.

"No, what's your first name?" I said emotionless.

"My first name… it's Kevin," Mr. Woods responded quietly.

This was the most shocking thing out of everything that Willow had done since she arrived. Referring to a teacher by their first name was extremely disrespectful and for a teacher to tell a student… it was unheard of.

"Kevin, it seems you misunderstand, you don't have any authority over this matter, in fact, you have absolutely zero authority over anything that I do. I've already said that Alissa is expelled and that's not going to change. You said the deal was set just now. So you are going to do precisely what I tell you without question or else… I'm leaving and I'll sue this school to the point your grandchildren's, grandchildren's, grandchildren will be paying me back," I explained as if it was fact set in stone.
