Chapter 8: Punishment

Drew sat in the office with a serious face, and Coey and the others stood in front of him, all lowering their heads and not daring to speak.

Erica received the news early and rushed over. She looked at Coey's injured cheek with heartache. "Where's Gina? Why hasn't she come yet?" Drew restrained his anger.

"Sorry Drew, I'm late." Gina Hunter walked into the office slowly. "Who can tell me the cause of the incident." Lydia raised her hand and said.

"Rita and the others provoked Coey with the death of his parents, and Coey was so angry that he fought with them." Erica tried her best to explain for Coey and Lydia. "Principal, although Coey started the fight, it was Rita and the others who started the insults."

Gina snorted coldly, "My students were just joking with them, and you called it an insult. I feel so sad for my students."

Gina and Erica have always had an unfriendly relationship. "Gina, what do you mean? You mean to insult someone's deceased parents in public, and that's what you call a joke?!"

Gina blew her nails carelessly. "I find it strange. Coey's information has always been kept in the archives. Rita, since you said you found it on my desk, please tell me how you found it? Did you enter the teacher's office without permission, and rummage around on my desk when I was not there, and even open Coey's file privately?!"

Rita was a young girl after all, and was flustered by Erica's question. "Erica, don't go too far. You are interrogating my students like this to see if you are bullying them."

Erica sneered, "I am bullying them? If she can't answer, then you, the head teacher, should answer my question." Gina panicked and stammered.

"Principal, I think this matter should be left to you to decide." Drew already had the answer in his heart.

"Rita and you are wrong in this matter, and Coey and you are just acting impulsively. Coey, how do you want to solve it?" "I want them to apologize to me and promise not to do it again in the future."

"You all heard it, why don't you apologize to Coey!" As soon as Drew said this, even if they were reluctant, they had to apologize obediently.

"This matter is not over yet. Rita was the one who provoked the incident first, so she was punished once and suspended for one week. The others were punished once. As for Coey and Lydia, they are victims and will not be punished." As soon as Drew said this, Gina and Rita were dumbfounded.

"Drew!!" Gina wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Drew. "Gina, you can't educate students well. If there is a next time, you don't have to sit in the position of class teacher."

Gina and Rita could only suppress their resentment and walked out of the office reluctantly.

"Erica, you tried your best to seek justice for the students. I think you did a good job. Take them back to the classroom quickly, especially Coey, your wound must be well medicated."

Coey waved his hand and said, "My wound is not a problem, principal, I will take care of it myself later." Drew nodded and waved his hand to let them all go out.

"Coey, do you need a teacher to help you with your wound?" After leaving the principal's office, Erica asked Coey worriedly. Lydia looked at Coey with great concern.

"It's okay, teacher, I can take care of it myself." Erica nodded and stopped forcing, and asked Lydia to accompany Coey well.

The two walked towards the classroom. On the way, Coey stopped and said to Lydia. "Thank you so much, Lydia. I never thought you would join the fight for me."

Lydia waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Hahaha, you're welcome. You're my good friend. How could I not help you when I saw you being beaten?"

Coey was really touched by Lydia's act of saving him. "Thank you so much, Lydia. I caused you to be beaten."

Lydia shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'm not injured because we are good sisters!" Coey and Lydia smiled at each other.

Before the two entered the classroom, Coey thought about going to the infirmary to treat the wound first. "Lydia, go back to the classroom first. I'll go to the infirmary to treat the wound."

Lydia asked worriedly, "I'll go with you." Coey shook his head stubbornly. "It's okay. I can do it myself."

"Okay, then be careful." Under Lydia's reluctant gaze, Coey went straight to the infirmary.
