Chapter 17: Suspension 2
Amara Nelson snorted in disgust as a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.
A look of disdain appeared in her eyes as she looked at Cassie and her friends as if they were beneath her.
"This will come as my last warning to you," she stopped as she looked Cassie in her eyes.
"Leave Derek Dickson alone, he's mine and mine alone," she added.
Cassie paused for a second, she was caught off guard by what Amara said.
A resounding laugh was heard in the hallway, as Cassie laughed while holding her belly.
Seeing the confrontation between Cassie and the school Bella, the hallway turned rowdy as student began conversing.
"Oh, my god, is that not the school Bella?, Amara Nelson?, why's she talking to that tomboy, Cassie?"a red hair girl asked.
"I think they're fighting because of Derek," a short girl with a buzz haircut said.
"I wish that two beauties would fight over me like this one day,"a fat guy with freckles allover his face said with a dreamy look on his face.
"Yeah, I would be happy if it's happened to me too," his friend who had a skinny build with large teeth and glasses said.
"Keep dreaming you fools, look at how you look like, no girl will ever date you guys, let alone fighting over you," a girl said.
"Can't you let a guy dream a little? Must you be a bitch?," the fat guy asked.
After laughing, Cassie continued talking, her tone changed as she looked at Amara with an angry look on her face.
"I should leave Derek for you?, you're so delusional to even think that I was dragging that dog with you," Cassie said with a folded arms.
"What did you just call him?" Amara Nelson raged.
"A dog, that's what he's, I don't give a fuck about him, you can have him for all I care, you should warn him to leave me alone, instead of warning me," Cassie said with anger.
Amara Nelson's face immediately contorted into an angry look.
"Derek loves me, you're just a cheap slut trying to take him away from me," she screamed.
"Trying to take him from you?" Cassie asked as she bust out laughing.
"Honey I'm not trying to take him from you, i don't give a fuck about him," Cassie said as she passed the angry Amara Nelson, while the rest followed after her.
"Stay away from him, he's mine," they heard Amara screaming from behind them.
The news of Amara Nelson's and Cassie's confrontation spread around the school like wild fire.
.....
After getting away from Amara Nelson, Cassie exploded with curse's.
"That crazy bitch, she's so delusional, what makes her think I like that foolish guy?" She asked as she stumped her feet on the floor.
"Next time she meet me to tell me crap like this,I'm gonna bust her teeth in."
"Calm down Cassie," Joe said.
"She's ain't worth your time at all," Henry said.
"Yeah, don't make her spoil you mood, okay?" Casper said as they group nodded in agreement.
Cassie took a deep breath to calm her nerves, exhaling she turned around with a smile.
"You guys are right, I shouldn't allow a bitch like her spoil my mood," she said.
"No bad energy, no bad vibes," she said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, that's the spirit," they cheered her up.
Getting into the classroom they sat down as they continued their conversation.
Not long after, Amara Nelson and her friends stepped into the class, her face was sour as she had an angry look on it.
Her eyes wandered to Cassie's direction, immediately their eyes met, sparks flew in the air from the tension.
Mrs delight walked in to the classroom and immediately lectures began.
In-between her classes, Mrs delight was interrupted by someone.
"Excuse me ma'am," a tall girl who was standing at the door said.
Mrs delight immediately stopped her teaching as she faced the new comer.
"Yes?, How can I help you?" Mrs delight asked with a questioning tone.
"Um, sorry to interrupt you, but the principal, Mr Elvis kelvin, sent me," she said shyly.
"Oh, go on," Mrs delight said.
"Um, Mr Elvis kelvin told me to call, Cassie Rodney Joe Kingsley, Casper Atah, Henry Pascal and Derek Dickson," she said with a nervous tone.
"Alright, you can go," Mrs delight said to the nervous girl who hastily left.
"Those whose names were mentioned can you kindly leave the class to the principal's office!" Mrs delight said.
Casper and those whose name were called stood up as they made their way to the principal's office.
Casper's and Derek's eyes met, and Derek let out a smirk before swaggering out of the classroom.
Seeing the smirk a small shiver ran through Casper's spine.
"Why do you think we're being summoned?" Cassie asked.
"Seeing as how Derek was also called, it must be connected to what happened previously," Henry said.
After getting to the principal's office, they knocked on the door.
"Come in," a gruff voice said.
Getting into the office, they saw a middle-aged man with a pot belly and a messy beard; he had brown eyes and black hair.
Derek was already in the office, sitting on a chair with an unbothered look on his face.
"Good morning sir, I heard you asked for us," Cassie asked.
"Yes, I did, wait a minute there are some other people that are supposed to be here," he said without even offering a seat for them.
An awkward silence soon ensured in the room as they waited.
Casper and the rest stood for about ten minutes before a knock was heard at the door.
"Come in," Mr Elvis Kelvin said as he strengthened his rumpled clothes.
Immediately, a couple of familiar faces walked into the room.
"Mom?" Casper said in shock.
"Mom, dad what are you doing here?" Joe asked.
"Shit, mom, what the hell are you doing here?" Cassie asked.
"Mom, dad, you're here?" Henry asked.
The friends reacted in their own way upon seeing their parents.
There was also Derek's father , who was dressed in an expensive business suit.
"Please take your seats," Mr Elvis Kingsley said as he pointed at a couple of empty seats.
"Be fast with whatever you want to say, I'm a quite busy man," Mr Dickson said as he sat down.
"Ah, thank you Mr Dickson for coming today, it's truly an honor," Mr Elvis Kingsley said.
"As you all know, we do not accept violence in this school, we want all our students to feel safe and secure," he paused for a while before continuing.
"We do not take lightly to violence, and unfortunately despite knowing the rules some students still acted violently towards their fellow students," he said.
"Go on, stop beating around the bush," Mr Dickson said with irrigation in his voice.
"Alright then, Cassie, Joe, Henry, and Casper attacked Derek last week when he came over to ask them for something,which forced him to defend himself" Mr Elvis Kingsley said.
"They violently beat him up, but luckily his friends came over to assist him, but unfortunately Derek was already injured," he said as he pointed to Derek.
"For that act of violence, with a heavy heart I must give them an appropriate punishment, they're here by suspended for a week," Mr Elvis Kingsley said.
"What?, we're being suspended?" Joe asked.
"But he was the one who caused it all," Cassie shouted.
"I nearly fucking died by his hands, I needed to be sent to the emergency room, and instead of punishing him, you're punishing us," vein could be seen coming out of Casper head as he shouted.
"Language please," Mr Elvis Kingsley said.
