Warren
The principal seems about to rip her employee's head off right now, she's visibly scared, it looks like she has a habit of biting her lips, I'm immediately alert to what happened to get out of here, I hate situations like this, especially one that draws so much attention to me.
"Miss Taylor, I hope this audacity doesn't happen again," the principal snarls at the frightened girl who now has a last name, she just nods her head confirming what the woman warned. When she looks up and finds me staring at her face, it turns completely red.
"Isn't anyone going to say anything about this girl? I demand that she be expelled from school" - the man who is apparently a very successful businessman, but I bet if I pull his name up in the system, I'll find something, even if it's a parking ticket, but I bet there's more to it.
"And I demand you shut the fck up" - I blurt out, leaving everyone startled, then I kneel before Flora, still leaving everyone silent, fck it, I don't care - "tell me what happened, can you do that, yes?"
"Yes, Uncle Warren," Flora says, and I almost smile as she takes a breath as if catching her breath to speak, only then I notice her clothes, she is wearing one of the many ladybug outfits my friend buys for her - "I was talking to my friend Princess Diana.”
"Oh, she's just a cleaning lady" - the man interrupts and I feel the blood run faster through my veins, I turn my gaze to the woman now huddled in the corner of the room and then to Flora.
"That's why I hit that idiot" - the girl says, mistakenly pointing to the boy - "he did that thing that children can't do and even called me a bug”
"Did he disrespect anyone?" - I ask because that's what I taught, I said that no one could be disrespected in front of us without us being able to do something, of course I couldn't explain it more clearly to a child.
"Yes, Princess Diana asked us to go to the room, then the fool said a garbage picker was bossing me around, so I went there and kicked him in the low countries and then I tried to hit him like this in the face” - she says and makes the movements she made and if I wasn't quick her little punch would have caught me in the face too - "then the meanie showed up and I said I would call my lawyer, who was my daddy" - she stops talking and takes a deep breath, when she's nervous and talking very fast she slurs her words and speaks haltingly, changing some letters - "but he wasn't there, but then you showed up, can you take him to jail?"
“You're the one who needs to go to jail, you marginal" - the boy yells, it's unfortunate to see that he is a reflection of his father, sometimes children are not to blame, they only repeat what comes at home, and unfortunately then we see the result of poor upbringing at the police station.
"Let's see that the level of education here is below what is needed," I begin, standing up. If Dylan was here, this employee would probably leave here practically rich from so many lawsuits Dylan would file against this unbearable family - "both at school and at home, children should be taught primarily about respect, empathy, education is essential, but what I see here are father and son completely wrong as if they were right. What kind of place is this where students are taught to disrespect staff?”
“Sir” - the principal calls my attention, I face her - “we just want to inform you that we do not accept this type of aggression practiced by your niece, we just want her to apologize and that someone responsible for her guarantees that such things will not be repeated.”
“You are right” - I say and look at my niece - “What are your names?” - I ask, giving a sideways smile to the principal who is about to sit on her own desk and spread her legs for me.
"I am the principal of the school, Suzane Grace" - she says, smiling sweetly - "and this is Mr. Fuchs."
“I am Flora Foster's uncle, I hope I don't use her father's power to resolve shameful situations like this” - I say, making their eyes widen - “my niece will not apologize, you should be the ones apologizing to Miss…”
“Princess Diana, Uncle Warren,” Ladybug says excitedly, and the cleaning lady's eyes widen.
"No need, I just want my job back," she says, her eyes now a little red, damn it, I hate to see a woman cry.
“Impossible, I've already given notice” - says the principal and points to the exit - “pack your things and go away, you induced our children to fight, the blame for this whole situation is yours.”
The girl quickly leaves with her head down without saying another word, she seems to refuse to let the tears fall, either she's one of those who pretends to be strong or it's all a theater, I notice Flora now wants to cry for her “little friend".
“You are despicable beings” - I say and hold Flora's hand as we leave the room leaving both of them speechless, I would like to intimidate them but I can't alert them about my position, however it wouldn't help much, I know the boys will get even with the two of them, I sent a message telling them what happened and on top of that I also sent the names of the two and I'm just sorry for him to run into Michel, the man who likes to buy things and people.
Flora takes us to her room to get her backpack, she does so still pouting, I don't understand the reason for her being upset, after all, how can you understand children if you've never lived with one?
“What's wrong, Flora?” - I ask as soon as we reach my SUV, as there is no car seat, I put her in the back seat and fasten her seat belt properly. I don't understand why Dylan didn't send his security.
“I didn't understand what happened,” she says, and I soon realize she's referring to the startled young lady in the principal's office, she's probably confused as to why her “friend” left in such a hurry and without saying goodbye.
Before I answer I sigh and look the other way out and find “Princess Daiana”, or whatever her name is, walking out dejectedly wiping away some tears streaming down her cheeks. Something inside me screams, not liking to see her so helpless.
Her eyes had an intriguing will to live, she seems to be a woman like Antonella, not in physical form because the two are completely different, but in personality, she is too good, too sweet for this world.
The worst part is that a side of me that had never surfaced before wanted to protect her so badly.
