Out of Life

At the cafeteria, Zach and his friends walked to Chloe and Hailey's table and sat with them. That was a first.

Chloe sure wasn’t expecting that, but she would have to deal with it, only she wasn’t ready for any more drama. She was angry at Zach, and she would have that conversation with him later. Somehow, the principal had called her to her office at the end of the second period to ask her if she would be willing to tutor Zach in exchange for not registering her in the book club program like the geometry teacher wanted.

She had been shoved in a corner, because the moment she started to shake her head, Principal Carly Wayne had mentioned how she remembered she needed to see her father because of how she had insulted the math teacher in front of the other students.
