Chapter 21
                          
"April are you out here?" I wipe my tears away and fold the letter putting it in my pocket.
                          
"Babe?" Taking a deep breath I swing down off the branch and plant my feet on the ground.
                          
"Here"
                          
"Do you want to tell me why the office sent me looking for you?"
                          
"Nope" I walk by him and perch myself on the bench with my arms folded.
                          
"It has to be bad if the principal wants to see you"
                          
"He can want to see me all he wants. I'm not going" 
                          
"April he is the principal you have to"
                          
"NOT doing it" he paces back and forth running his hand through his hair.
                          
"I have to come back with you"
                          
"I AM NOT going anywhere" my teeth are clenched. Why doesn't he understand that I am not moving?
                          
"I will carry you in there if I have to" it feels like daggers are shooting out of my eyes. He glares at me oblivious to the fact that I am teetering on the edge.
                          
"Let me make this clear, I am not and will not go see the principal nor will I be going back into that bastards classroom" my voice is ice cold and my body is shaking with tension. He stops in front of me and I cross my fingers that he will leave me alone. 
                          
"Put my down" I yell as he slings me over his shoulder. I pound on his back. "William I swear to God if you do not put me down this second I will..." 
                          
"You'll what? Scream my ear off? Hit me? Ignore me? Runaway again? What could you possibly do that would scare me?" The mock and annoyance in his voice sets me over the deep end. I punch him so hard it hurts me.
                          
"I will break up with you" I hiss. He freezes a few doors away from the office.
                          
"That's taking it too far" he walks in and sets me in the seat across from the principal. I glare at him as he closes the door.
                          
"You sent Will instead of a security guard why?"
                          
"I knew he could get you in here. You two are a couple right?"
                          
"Were a couple" I mutter
                          
"Ms. Jones do you know why I called you in here?"
                          
"To yell at me I suppose"
                          
"Don't be a smart ass" "Mr. Parks said you took a possession of his and then left his class without his permission. Is that true?" My chair slides behind me and hits the wall. I can taste the anger that courses through my body. 
                          
"That is absurd!!! Mr. Parks is a lying cold hearted snake!" I yell and the principal fists his hands on the table. I turn to leave and notice everyone in the office staring at the office.
                          
"Young lady sit down and listen up you will not disrespect teachers that way."
                          
"No sir I will not sit down. This is a waste of my time. Mr. Parks needs to learn to respect his students."
                          
"I was going to let you off with a warning but seeing as how you are quite the disrespectful lady you will be suspended from school for two weeks."
                          
"What!" My voice reaches a new high. "I didn't do anything wrong! I was reading a letter from my brother and Mr. Parks came up and took it. Then he read it to the whole damn class against my wishes! I tried to get it back and it ripped in half. He owes me an apology for reading my personal stuff. ““Disrespectful... I'll show disrespectful" I scoff putting my hand on the doorknob. "Good day" I swing the door open and storm out aware that Will is frozen at the printer staring at me with disbelief.
                          
I scream in frustration and bang my steering wheel. Who do they think they are? I don't give a damn if they are my superiors. Gives them no right to treat me like this. I high tail it out of school and drive home. Slamming the front door didn't give me the satisfaction I needed.
