That's good. I'm coming home a little earlier today. Don't go to school, ok? Abby texted back as quickly as she could.

(I'm going to make a small time skip for my character)

Cal sat in one of the chairs in the principal's office, feeling a bruise already forming under his eye as he ran his hands over the small cuts on his knuckles. He continued to look down, feeling the other boy's hostile stare on his back as one of the teacher's in the room began to talk, explaining that she would be calling their parents. Cal shrugged, knowing that no one would understand why he had actually punched the other boy in the first place. He was asking for it anyways…

"I'm going to call your guardian first, Mr. Teller," the principal explained, speaking up over Cal's thoughts as he picked up his own phone and began to dial Abby.

Abby's phone rang. She answered hastily. "Hello?"

Veda sighed as she read Abby's text. Yeah, I can't anyways. Uh….something came up that I have to deal with. Then she turned back to Sophia and Vivian. "Okay, Viv, here's the deal." She told Vivian a much abbreviated and downplayed version of what she had told Abby the night before, Sophia listening quietly.

"..Okay." she said when the story was over. "And this is one of your… friends….?"

(Gtg again).
Veda nodded. "Sophia is er…was Kierra's sister." Sophia nodded to confirm.

"Oh wow…" Vivian muttered faintly.

Abby's phone rang. She answered hastily. "Hello?"

"Ms. Xao-Ling?" The principal began, glancing over at Cal as the younger boy looked down, rubbing one of his arms absentmindedly. If the man had called Veda or Kendra, maybe they would have gone a little easier on him. "I'm afraid that Cal has gotten into a small fight with one of his classmates. He hasn't explained why, but I'm going to need you to come to the school to talk to him, if you have the time of course."

(well dear friends, seems we have struck chaos lol)
Kendra walked to the fridge and got out an apple, for whatever reason she was hungry.

Veda sighed as she read Abby's text. Yeah, I can't anyways. Uh….something came up that I have to deal with. Then she turned back to Sophia and Vivian. "Okay, Viv, here's the deal." She told Vivian a much abbreviated and downplayed version of what she had told Abby the night before, Sophia listening quietly.

He hasn't explained why, but I'm going to need you to come to the school to talk to him, if you have the time of course."

Abby flicked her wrist so she could read the screen of her Fitbit Alta and read Veda's message silently as she answered the principal.

(Quick question, Nessie, is Cal in the high school?)

(Yeah, he's in the high school)

(Okay, thanks! Cause Abby is legit in the high school right now planning practice with the other coaches.)

"Yes, alright. I'll be there soon," Abby responded.

(Sounds good!)

"Thank you," the principal answered briskly, hanging up as he leaned back in his chair and began to dial the phone to call yet another parent. Cal sighed, shaking his head faintly as he leaned back in his chair, already feeling the glares from the other kids on his back.

She glanced at Kendra. "Can you pass me an apple? You're making me hungry when you have that out."

Abby hung up and looked at Molly and Kelly apologetically. "Cal…" They nodded like they understood. Abby hurried to the principal's office. She knocked on the door politely.
