Spencer

"Ms. Moore, do you understand why you're here?" Mrs. Lawson, the principal asks as she fixes me with her best "your on thin ice" gaze

"I'm sure that there is a number of reasons as to why I am here today." my most sincere and apologetic smile that I can muster. Every time i enter her office I feel as though i entered a fairytale. The walls were all bright pink like pepto bismal with pictures of fairies and other creatures gracing the walls. There was only one personal picture on her desk and it was of her and her husband. Their smiles looked forced, her posture tense as though she wasn't all to thrilled to be there. "Do all your meetings with students take this long or am i just that special? I'm pretty sure im missing a Calculus test right now. Aren't you suppose to promote our learning or is that not in your job description?"

"Amanda you seem like a bright girl and I can see that you have amazing grades from your class rank and scheduling; so why are you here? Why is it you insist on constantly bombarding yourself with detentions and suspensions." She eyed me carefully as if she wasn't sure how i'd respond to her questions. I hadn't had another breakdown in front of her for four months but she still looked at me as if i could break at any moment.

I shifted tugging at the ends of my long sleeved black rolling stones t-shirt. "You know something Mrs. Lawson, when i have the answer to that question i'll make sure you are the first person i tell. I really just want to graduate and ge the hell out of this hick town with all the idiots and their trucks and chew. By the way if you really want to get into someone's head i go for Chelsea Lynn I hear she's quite......whats the word i'm looking for......easy?" I smirked knowing that soon enough I'd be able to leave and today wil continue on in the same unsurprising way as all the rest.

"Amanda if you want out you have to show that you can fulfill all the requi-"

"Don't tell me that, okay. I have a 4.0 all my requirements have been met i'm still here because you people won't just let me graduate early. I personally don't understand why i'm still here. Why do you even care? really."

"I care because you are a student at my school. Thats right my school. You can feel whatever way you want about it but you need to realize that the way you act out weighs your grades and academic performance. No college will except you if you have these blemishes on your record. I mean just last week you were suspended for punching Spencer Lane in the face."

"He grabbed my a*s! What was I supposed to do? Say 'Hey Spencer you are a complete and utter pig go a head you can grab my a*s. Why don't you caress my b***s while your at it?' I'm sorry that my reaction to sexual harassment doesn't meet your standards!"

"Amanda you need to work on your anger; I've told you this before. Now get to class and if i see you in here again you will be suspended do you understand?"

"All I wanted was to go to class its not my fault that Rachelle walked into my locker and broke her nose." I said Pulling me curly blonde hair into a ponytail and slamming the office door.

"Finally I thought you were dead."

"What do you want Spencer?"

"Don't be like that Mandy. You know why I'm here." He said grabbing my arm pulling me close. I could smell the weed on is breath. I tried to hold back my vomit as i gripped his wrist twisting it hard behind his back. 

"First I've told you before, don't call me Mandy this is not a Barry Manilow song. Second Have you not learned NOT to touch me or do you need another lesson in proper etiquette?" IU pushed his face into the wall.

"Come on Mandy." He said barely choking out the words. "Let me go so we can talk. You know I'm sorry about what happened with me and rRachelle. I know you still have feelings for me."

"Don't f*****g flatter yourself dick. Your not even worth the gum on the bottom of my boot and if you think i even have an ounce of feeling left for you other than pure distain you are dumber than i originally thought." I released his arm and began to walk away from him. I didn't get far before he was pressing me into the lockers his breath hot on my neck.

"So you feel nothing right now? You don't remember this? Don't be a b***h Mandy Rachelle meant absolutely nothing to me you know th-" I drove my knee into him.

"Don't. F*****g. Touch. Me. Ever. Again." I walked away as he laid crying on the ground. I had a date with the razor and it was long overdue.

Another chapter full of veracity, what I like is the way the girl defends herself ; that is the way it should be !
