The Principle finishing the meeting with the parent opens the door as he shakes hands with the parent, Mikey looking up sees as the principle and his sister turn and look at each other in surprise.
Mikey: Rachael?!
Racheal: Mikey?!
Mikey attempts to get up but is rudely pushed back into his seat by the school police officer... Rachael walks in only to have the officers stand in her way.
Rachael: do you mind moving, i'm the child's guardian.
Officer # 1: sorry Ma'am, i cant do that.
Officer # 2: not till we are authorized by the principle.
Rachael: unless you are placing him under arrest, i suggest you move otherwise you'll be looking for a new job by tomorrow.
The principle looks at the Officers and nods them to allow the children to leave....
Principle: if you children will pls enter the office, you can explain why you are all here.
The children quickly enter with Rachael right behind them while the teacher that had brought them in runs in after finishing talking to the secretary, immediately they all sit down and wait for an explanation.
Principle; so what happen?
Teacher: these children were involved in an incident with Billy..
Principle: the football player?
Teacher: yes.
Principle: we just had a talk about that young man.
Teacher: well, these kids just hospitalized him.
Kids: we did not, it wasnt our fault, he fell!
Principle: children, pls. one at a time.
Rachael: Mikey, what happen?
Mikey: we were sitting in the quad eating our foot when Billy showed up and started harassing us.
Jennifer: yeh, we told him to leave us alone but he wouldnt and he tried to hit Mikey.
Nathan: yeh..
Mikey: he went to grab me by my shirt while i was trying to stand up so i grabbed his wrist when he grabbed me and he fell..
i moved out of the way and he hit his head on the bench.
Jennifer: yeh, Mikey didnt do anything, it was an accident.
Teacher: well, that accident has left Billy unconscious, Lord knows how long.
Principle: OMG!
I'm sorry but under these circumstances and our Zero Tolerance policy...
I'm forced to suspend Mikey for the duration and depending on the outcome of Billy, He might be looking at criminal charges.
Rachael: you have got to be kidding the kids just told you what happen and we just talked about him before hand!
Principle: I'm sorry Miss, School policy is quite clear on the matter.
Rachael: quite clear! you ppl do nothing but stand and watch..
only time you ppl do anything when your threaten by a lawsuit!
Principle: i'm afraid you'll have to take the problem with the school board.
Rachael: come on Mikey i'm taking you home..
you children better call your parents and let them know what just happen.
Principle: pls refrain from speaking to the children..
they will continue the day pending no further incidents.
Rachael: what?!
Jennifer: i dont have a phone..
Rachael: here, take mine. (reaches into purse) .
Principle: Miss!
Rachael: look!
i'm not one of you school kids where you can talk to me as if i was!
the Teacher and the Principle looked at each other not sure what to do having dealt with children they dont know how to speak or act with an adult in this situation. Jennifer and Nathan each use Rachael's phone as they call their parents and inform them of the situation hiding behind Rachael before handing the phone back to her, Rachael looking at the children...
Jennifer: thank you Miss....
here(hands back cell phone)
Rachael: you're welcome..what did they say?
Nathan: my mom is coming for me..
Jennifer: so is my mom..
i told them everything.
Rachael: well you guys wait till they come and get you.
Rachael grabbing Mikey by the hand walk out and head to the parking lot in order to take him home. Rachael waiting in the car before starting the engine buries her head in the front wheel while tears stream down her face, Mikey feeling guilty cries and gives her a hug as she revs the engine..
Mikey: i'm sorry, Rachael..
Rachael: it's not your fault, Mikey..
The car exits the school parking lot as she drives home... finally arriving she pulls into the parking lot the whole car ride being silent as she contemplates what she is going to do... the stress of being a parent/sister, college student and her job just seems insurmountable and with today's problem it just seems so impossible for her.
Mikey quietly stares at her sister not knowing what do say to her...
Rachael: Mikey go clean up your room, pls..
Mikey: okay..
