Chapter 4
Mrs. Willson
Mr. Maxillian, why are you standing outside your classroom?
Troy
Ah, well… It’s too hot inside,
No matter what he did to me, I could never report him
My name would get dragged into it, and I didn’t want my family to worry.
So I kept quiet, never telling the truth to avoid involving the guidance office.
Mrs. Willson
Oh dear… Kennedy told you to step out again, didn’t he?
Mrs. Willson
Those boys and their loud mouths!
Troy
No, Ma’am, it really was just hot inside.
Troy
Kennedy has nothing to do with it
I replied quickly because she looked ready to storm into the room.
Mrs. Willson
Don’t worry, child.
Mrs. Willson
I won’t call your parents, but I do need to talk to Kennedy’s parents.
Mrs. Willson
It seems he won’t change unless they’re involved. *Firmly said*
What she didn’t know was that no matter how many times Kennedy’s parents got called, he never changed.
He’d been dragged to the guidance office countless times—yet instead of improving, he only got worse.
Once I went back inside...
Only then did I return to my seat.
Mrs. Willson
BOYS AT THE BACK!!
Everyone in the classroom gasped.
Mrs. Willson
At what point will your conduct become appropriate?
Mrs. Willson
I'm only saying this one last time, cut it out with the jokes toward your classmates!
Mrs. Willson
Specially you, Mr. Mandiz!
Kennedy
*Gives Troy a glare signal*
Mrs. Willson
Kennedy, you get out, I have something to deal with you outside.
I avoided looking directly at Kennedy, afraid he’d think I’d ratted him out and take his anger out on me.
Kennedy
I know you snitched on us to Ma’am.
Kennedy
Watch yourself on your way home. *He whispered, his tone icy*
A chill ran down my spine as I felt his murderous glare.
Mrs. Willson
Mr. Mandiz, when will you ever stop?!
Mrs. Willson
I need to see your parents tomorrow!
