I'm Okay (Trust Me)
Disenchanted
(Kara's POV)
Nurse Alex was still in the other room with his assistant so Mikey and I snuck out, Mikey having to hold onto my shoulder due to his head spinning. We finally got into the lobby and went to the door right next to the nurse's office, which was the Main Office. Ms. Huddleston, the secretary, wasn't at her desk so we went into the hall and looked at the doors, trying to decide which one our mystery hero was in. Well, judging by the yells from the other room, it was probably pretty serious so he or she was probably in Principal Watson's office.
I pointed to Principal Watson's office and Mikey nodded as I snuck over and turned the door handle slowly. Being as quiet as I could, I looked inside and...
"Jack?"
He was the last person I suspected. But then again, knowing him and his temper it makes sense. Neither of them had heard or seen me, but I could hear Jack trying to explain to the principal. "No, sir. It's less about the bullies and more about giving people like us a voice. You see, it's the bullies that stay in the same town, live in the same town, and inevitably die in the same town. It's the kid wearing black in the corner that always ends up doing something significant." He seemed to be having trouble getting Principal Watson to agree, so I opened the door fully. I saw the principal's eyes widen (Mikey and I probably looked really pathetic) and I said, "Sir, don't punish Jack. It was Derek who started everything, it really was." Mikey was pawing at my shoulder, trying to get me to shut up but I pushed his hand away and kept going.
"Derek was choking Mikey and then he felt me up and then he hit Mikey and then he knocked me out and then--" I heard Mikey behind me. "Kara, stop. Kara..."
Principal Watson spoke up. "Young lady, I am not sure who you are, but Jack Perkins broke Mr. Adam's hand and gave him a black eye. I highly doubt that happened by itself." I saw Jack put his head down and try not to snicker.
"Mr. Perkins, this is not a laughing matter. We have yet to see if Mr. Derek Adams is going to file a lawsuit against you." Jack looked up. "Yes, sir. I know. And I'll meet him in court. If I tell the truth not a jury in the world would rule me guilty." Principal Watson rubbed his temples. "Very well, Mr. Perkins. You are dismissed, I have nothing more to say to you." Jack flashed a winning smile and said "Love ya, Mista Watson!" Before leaving the room with us.
We all stood in the hall for a moment looking around awkwardly. "So... who's this?" Jack asked me with a suggestive smirk and I couldn't help but blush, though I don't know why.
