So could you narrate what happened, miss Lia? ” The assistant principal interrogated.

Well after the exciting acrobatic display in the hallway, it didn’t quite end well cause the assistant principal caught a whiff of the situation and rounded us up to her office.

“Well, miss Lia ” The Assistant principal urged Lia , her fingers interlocked and rested her hands on her desk, leaning in towards her.

“She is responsible for all this! ” Caroline lashed out from nowhere.

“I don’t remember asking you, did I, miss Caroline?” The assistant principal answered her, brows audaciously raised in a challenge.

Caroline was stunned, she wanted to protest but the look on the assistant principal’s face wasn’t exactly welcoming. She bit down on her lips, fist clutched tightly with an aggrieved expression, looking like a kid whose candy was snatched away by a big bully.

Lia sank back into her chair, enjoying the drama going on. She slowly grinned , this was way exciting than those performed on TV.

“So shall we continue. miss Lia?” She pressed forward

Lia stared at this woman amused,she clearly knew everything yet she still wanted to hear it from her mouth. What would she benefit from that.

” Well, Assistant principal Sheila, with all due respect but I’m sure you’ve gotten all your information from the IP security cameras installed in the hallways ” Lia replied, her eyes on the brass nameplate on the woman’s desk. “What more do you want to hear from me? ”

Sheila stared her straight in the eyes which Lia reciprocated, she wasn’t about to be stared down, moreover it was exciting.

“I know but I like to hear it from the horse’s mouth ”

Lia smiled when sheila looked away , she won. “Unfortunately, I’m afraid I can’t help you, my lips are sealed ”

Sheila snorted, picked up her pen and scribbled something on her note ” As a new transfer student and one who didn’t start the fight as my investigation uncovered, you’re free to go ” She started her judgement

“Thanks your honour ” Lia said with heavy sarcasm, rose to her feet and dusted off invisible dirt from her pant.

“Caroline, Alexa and Linda, you have detention after school for bullying a new student ” She finalized closing her note .

Caroline sprang to her feet “You’re kidding, right? I have never being given detention since the beginning of my highschool”

“Well, there’s a first-time for everything ” Sheila calmly replied before she busied herself with other documents on her desk.

Lia got to admit, eventhough the woman seem to be unreasonably persistent, she liked her unlike some barbie and her minions. Talking of minions.

ALexa and Linda were huddled at a corner, their eyes darting around nervously . They reeked of fear and apprehension, it seems Caroline was the fearless one.

They almost jumped out of their skin when Caroline banged her hands hard on the principal’s desk, well assistant principal’s desk .

“Does Asher know you’re doing this?! ” Caroline fumed, her chest heaving up and down.

“Excuse me?” Sheila looked up, dropping the documents in disbelief.

Lia sat far back, she wasn’t about to ruin this moment cause it seems an important revelation was about to be exposed. All she was missing was popcorn and soda.

Caroline seem taken aback, probably realizing she had said something she wasn’t supposed to say ” I mean ” She tried to smile but it was hideous ” Does Principal Asher know about this punishment you meted out on me? ”

Sheila’s gaze darkened, a scornful expression on her face ” Well miss Caroline, I don’t know nor do I care about any private and unprofessional relationship you have with principal Asher but my orders are final. See you at detention ”

OK, now this was interesting. The information was gradually sinking in, appears the reason Caroline was fearless inspite of everything, was because she was screwing with the principal?

Wow, that’s an intense scandal.Inappropriate relationship between educator and student , wasn’t it a criminal offense? Why wasn’t anybody doing anything? Why was everyone turning a blind eyes to this?

Wow, strange town, strange rules ! So much for the academically acclaimed school.

“You!” Caroline ragged wagging a finger at Sheila but Alexa and Linda were quick to come to the rescue.

“We will see you during detention ” Alexa the tallest of them all murmured , dragging her away.

Caroline was screaming and kicking, vomiting all kinds of profanities known to man.

“You! ” She roared when she came face-to-face with Lia.

“Yes? ” Lia said, a devilish smirk on her face

“I’m not yet done with you, you are going to regret messing with me! ” She threatened, glaring with so much hatred that if eyes were bullet, Lia would be long dead already.

Perhaps, if it was the old Lia she would have been bothered by her words, unfortunately, this new Lia didn’t care about her threat infact she welcomed it, she craved the thrill.She wanted fun.

Lia’s eyebrows rose in delight but the dumb caroline was too ignorant to notice the sadistic smile that curved her face

” Fine, baby boobs, Game start ”
