Henry's pov

Henry Hart please report to the principal's office!

I was currently in the boys bathroom when the speakers went off

"Bro, it's time! I'm heading out" I screamed to ensure Jasper heard me.

He was turned over in one of the toilets puking his guts out.

He claimed his nerves were getting to him.

It was funny, I was being expelled but Jasper was more worried.

I was surprisingly feeling calm. Not because I'm happy to be expelled but because I don't regret anything I did.

If given the opportunity again I'll do it over and over again.

The door to one of the stalls opened and Jasper stumbled his way over to me, he looked sick.

"Let's go" He smiled trying to stand on his two feet

"Man! You don't look so good, how about you go to the nurse's office? "

I was genuinely getting concerned.

He his skin looked pale and he had visible goosebumps on his skin, his ears and nose were turning a light shade of read.

"I'm fine, let's go, I'll be better once we hear what he has to say" He assured, leaning on me slightly

Henry Hart! Report to the principal's office immediately!

"Okay let's go "

•••••••••••••••

I walked into the barely furnished room that was not befitting a principal.

The paint on the walls were peeling off and the tiles on the floor were chipped and cracked.

The only furniture in the room was a desk and a chair placed behind it, they was also a cabinet with broken doors and locks.

I never knew swellview high had such a low budget.

I had never been in the principal's office before now

"Mr Hart, please take a seat" The tall man sitting behind the desk said.

I took the only available chair and sat on it.

"So I assume you know why you're here? " He questioned

"Yes sir, I'm aware"

"You do know you committed a crime, right? " He continued

" I admit to the fact that I beat him up, but to me that's not a crime, I barely taught an asshole a lesson "

"Mr Hart, you would be expelled"

"I don't care, all I know is that I don't regret what I did and I'll gladly take the punishment "

"You didn't let me finish Mr Hart I was trying to say you would be expelled if you had hit a student of the school but since you didn't we'll let you off with a little punishment for fighting on school grounds" He said peering at me through is glasses

He acknowledged the confusion on my face and continued

"You see Mr Hart Callum Orchison has been expelled from the school days before your Brawl with him, he was expelled under the ground of possession of drugs and hard substances. I have no clue what he was doing here, but I assure you it won't happen again. so we have no right to punish you since you technically did not beat or hit a student of the school. however, you did fight in the school grounds thereby causing a distraction to school activities and for that you have to be punished" He finished

"Let me get this straight. I'm not getting expelled? "

He shook is head indicating a yes

"And Callum was found with drugs! That bastard! I knew he was no good"

"Language Mr Hart! " He glared at me " Anyway, as for your punishment, we'll make it two weeks of detention and one week of community service for two hours daily " He stated typing away in the rusty keyboard with washed out letters

"Well that's fine by me, thank you very much sir!" I said unable to hide the grin creeping on my face

Truth is, I didn't want to be expelled, because that would mean I have to change schools, and changing schools meant less time with Charlotte.

"I'll go now, thank you sir" I greeted once more, already on my feet

"Oh! One more thing Mr Hart, you're a really good fighter, do you practice? " He asked

"It's comes naturally with my line of work, bye sir" I smirked as I made my wait out of the room

I was attacked. it happened so quickly, my legs gave way and I would have fallen if not for the arms of the attacker wrapped around my back.

"Jasper bro, I can't breathe"

He ignored me and tightened his grip on me

"Let me comfort you Henry, it's okay"

He robbed circles on my back

"Bro I'm fine, chill I was not expelled"

He let go of me with so much force I reeled and hit the wall behind me

"Hurting me is not a good way to express your joy" I groaned while Jasper grinned from ear to ear

"How? How?? "He questioned urgently

I filled Jasper in on the new information as we made our way to our third class for the day.

••••••••••••••

Jasper and I arrived in the classroom and all heads turned to look at us.

But of course,  one pair of eyes stood out to me. Her brown eyes we're fixated on me as we made eyes contact. They held so much emotions, curiosity, fear and others I couldn't pinpoint

"So glad you decided to join us! Twenty minutes late! Well whatever, it's not like I care take a seat! " Miss Shapen barked turning her attention back to the class.

Since our regular seat was already occupied, Jasper and I made our way to the back. I passed by Charlotte seat, purposefully brushing my arms against hers. She looked up at me and I found myself once again enchanted by her beauty.

"Henry Hart, you can drool over Charlotte after my class, take a seat! " Miss Shapen said snapping me out of my day dream.

The whole class erupted in laughter and I joined them. Charlotte was blushing furiously, she had dark skin but I could still see the faint shade of red tainting her cheeks.

I internally cooed at how cute she looked and made my way to my seat.

Class ended and Charlotte immediately dragged Jasper and me out of the classroom, curiosity eating her up.

What Henry and the entire class didn't realize was that there was someone who did not find the teachers statement funny, and had left the class with a prominent scowl.
