Chapter 13

Chapter 13.

Steva's POV.

We were taken to the Principal's office by the teacher who saw us.

As we went I could hear the hushed voices of my schoolmates around me, while some were Mocking us some were pitying us.

Well, it's partly my fault as I lost my cool which hadn't Happened before but can you blame me?

No right?

It isn't an easy task to see the one who just betrayed you, it's hard.

All my composure went out of the window the moment I set my eyes on Stella who was supposed to be my best friend... But I don't think we can continue being friends after this as I don't think I can see her in the same light again.

We got there in no time.

Our Principal was a 50-year-old woman who was tall and a little fleshy.

" What's up with these two, Mr. Raymond? "

" Well... " Mr. Raymond narrated all that happened earlier to her and after he was done.

" I am so very disappointed in you both, weren't you girls supposed to be a good example to your mates so how did you girls end up being the opposite? "

" We are sorry, Ma. "

" Sorry? , Don't you think I deserve an explanation? "

" Um... "

" We had a slight misunderstanding so... " Stella replied and I scoffed inwardly.

' Misunderstanding uh? '

" No matter what misunderstandings you had with one other you could have settled it amicably instead of getting physical. " She said.

" You are right ma, we weren't thinking straight. "

" It's obvious and that's why you have to practice self-control as lack of it can end you in deep trouble. "

" Yes, ma. " I nodded.

" Good, I see that you girls have realized your mistake, and because this is the first time that this is happening between you girls, You are going to be suspended for a week. "

" Ma! "

" Oh? , Do you think that I'll just let you guys go free? , There are rules remember? You can't possibly expect the rules to bend for your sake, that would be discrimination and could bring the school down which I wouldn't want so you are going to serve your punishments. "

" You can head to your class now and pack up your belongings and head home, a printed letter would be given to you so you can hand it over to your parents, I hope this will teach you some lessons and that you'll be more self-controlled and Composed when you girls come back to school after your suspension, I hope you get that. "

" We did, ma. "

" Good, you can leave now. " She said and almost immediately Stella and I walked out of there.

We kept a distance from each other and walked back to our classes in silence.

As soon as we got in, we were surrounded by our classmates who wanted gossip.

As there was still about twenty minutes to the commencement of the assembly, most of the students were idle.

" Hey, Steva, what happened, why were you guys Fighting, did something happen? "

" I didn't imagine that one day you guys will get physical. "

" What did the principal say? Are you guys going to be suspended? "

" What caused the fight? Is it the trending pictures and videos? "

" Stella, I didn't expect you to be that Shameless, trying to steal your best friends Crush, You are nothing but a slut! You pretend to be innocent and kind but you are nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing! " Angela viciously said Attracting all attention.

I didn't say anything and neither did Stella.

What could she say?

Would she admit to cheating or would she deny it? But she can't possibly deny it since the Evidence are real I went to my desk and collected all my Stuff after which I left the class.

We had to wait outside the Principal's office for the letter.

Soon, it was assembly time.

The assembly bell rang and all the students went downstairs to the assembly ground.

The Principal came out of her office and her gaze swept through us as soon as she did.

" Follow me. " She said Simply as she began walking ahead and we immediately followed suit.

We went to the assembly ground where the Singing and dancing had begun.

We still walked behind the Principal till she stopped at the back of the podium.

For the first time in my life I felt embarrassed and disgraced as all eyes turned on us, it was like a spotlight descended on us.

Minutes later, it was now time for the Principal's short speech.

" Good morning, Students. "

" Good morning, ma. "

" I am sure that you are all well. "

" As most of you are all aware of the fight that happened earlier between two of our Prefects Stella Ellison the Library Prefect and Steva Davis The studio Prefect. "

" According to the rules of our school, Physical fights is completely forbidden and the punishment that follows would be suspension therefore From her on, The both of them will be suspended from Today onwards, They'll be back in school next week so you'll be expecting them by then so till then. "

" I hope that you all will learn from their mistake and be of good behavior and attitude, no fighting! We are at school and not at the tournament ground, I hope my warnings are clear? "

" It is Ma. "

So at the end of the day, we were dismissed and were escorted out of the school compound by the security man.

I felt ashamed all of sudden.

I remember the promises I made to myself and my parents.

But what now?

I have completely broken all of it.

" Am sorry, Mom. I failed to keep my promise to you. " I muttered as I wiped a lone tear out of my face.

I looked up and was a little Suprised to see Stella there, she was staring straight at me.

I didn't know that she was still there, it seemed like she wanted to say something but didn't or perhaps couldn't.

I think I saw Sadness in those eyes of hers.

Deciding not to bother me with it, I walked away from her and then got to the bus stop where I boarded a cab home as I forgot to inform my driver to pick me up.

Oh well, I guess this is the End of a My relationship with Stella and the beginning of something new.
