"I know"///ziam au

~Y~

Damn I'm about to make up some letters lmao, I noticed I'm almost to the end of the alphabet ;-;

"Michael, you are in big trouble" his teacher Ms. E scolds as he walks along with the five year old to the principal's office.

Michael glares at the checkered floor as his teacher knocks on the principals door, oh his dad wasn't going to like this at all

"Come in!" Someone yells from the inside. Personally Michael has never ever been to the principals office, only to show him the good grade he got on his test

"Hello April, Michael?" Principal Higgins asks frowning. "Sorry to disrupt you but Michael here is in trouble"

"In trouble? Michael, I'm disappointed" he says devastatingly, he was one of his favorite and brightest student here

Michael crosses his arms sitting down in the chair across from him. "Alright thank you April" he says dismissively

Michael watches his teacher leave the office, now it was just him and the big man. "What happened?" "E-Eric hit me"

"Eric Watson?" Michael nods. "And what did you do?" "I hit back"

"You only hit him back?" "Well" Michael drags out looking at the floor. "Michael" Principal Higgins says sternly.

"I hit him, then I pushed him, and maybe gave him a bwuise" he says honestly, sitting back in his chair

"Michael you know we don't got people, even if they hit you first. You go to your teacher first"

Michael crosses his arms once again, Ms. E was too busy helping the Hannah Gerald get mud off her sun dress at the time

"Did you apologize?" "No, I no need too. He started it!" "Alright don't raise your voice, I'm going to have to call your father" he says, picking up the phone and opening the list of parents name

Michael's eyes widen, his heart pounding in his chest. "No! Pwease, I'll do anythin!" "I'm sorry Michael but I have to call your father" he says before dialing the number

Michael sinks low into his seat, he was going to die today. As soon as his dad walks in, he'll be screwed

After an 30 minutes, Michael had been sitting in the chair swinging his feet thinking it a plan

He was going to make a run for it, then straight to the playground then hide in the bushes. That's a good plan

"Paul?" A voice asks, opening the door slightly. "Oh Zayn, come in" he says, Michael looks over to Zayn who gave him a frown

"What's going on?" "Michael had put his hands on another student, hitting" he says making the five year old scowl

Snitch

"Michael, you did not" Zayn says closing the door behind him. Michael winced a little, he doesn't like hearing the sound of disappointment in someone's voice, it made him feel bad even more

"Have a seat, were just waiting for Mr. Payne now" Zayn says next to the small boy who pouts. "What did your dad say about hitting people Mike?"

Michael decided to block him out, he lives Zayn but he already knows his dad is gonna scold him the worse

He continued picking with his finger nails after he saw that 2:30 turned into 3:00. That means school was over and that his dad is on his way

Michael shakily got out of his chair, "I go bathroom" he says making Paul nod. Michael opened the door gently closing it behind him. Michael takes in a deep breath before rushing down the hallway

All he had to do was reach the playground and hide. He was about to turn the corner until he bumped into something hard. He stumbled back holding his head, he stared at the familiar combat boots placed firmly on the ground

He looks up slowly, noticing his dad giving him a, you are in so much trouble, look. He didn't look as happy as he did this morning

Michael winced as Liam takes his arm dragging him towards the principals office. Along the way Michael was saying a silent prayer, hoping that he wouldn't get in as much trouble

Liam stopped at the door, twisting the knob to push Michael inside gently. "Liam, I'm glad you were able to make it" Liam nods watching Michael trudge over to his seat next to Zayn

The older man sat in the chair nearest to Paul's desk, "So what happened?" "Well Michael got in a physical altercation involving a student from his class"

"Physical altercation? Like fighting?" "Correct, Michael here said that Eric Watson hit him, so he hit him back. Which I understand to the instant, but Michael pushed him down also and gave him a bruise above his eye"

Liam turned to look at Michael who was looking the other way, he was too scared to meet his father's angry eyes. His dad rarely gets mad at him, only frustrated when he doesn't eat his vegetables

"Okay so what's going to happen now?" Zayn asks. "Well we're going to suspend him for two days then he'll be able to come back. Maybe come back with an apology letter to Eric?" Paul asks making Michael nod weakly

"Alright, well you all can leave. Michael I'll see you on Wednesday" Paul says giving him a sad smile. Michael nods as Zayn helps him put on his bookbag

Michael clutched onto Zayn's hand as he follow his dad out into the parking lot, towards the car. "I'm very disappointed in you Michael" Liam says opening the door for him

Michael crawls in taking off his book bag, he quickly fastens himself in pouting. "But he hit me first!"

"I don't care Michael, I told you when someone hits you. You either tell the teacher or hit him back, I did not say give that person a bruise. I left work worried as hell then I come to your school and hear that you're hitting people, are you kidding me?"

Michael crosses his arms. "As soon as we get in the house, you go up to your room and don't you dare touch any of your toys" Liam says sternly making Michael kick at his feet

Liam closed the door taking his place behind the wheel. Zayn glanced at Michael was already crying but he didn't want to say anything now, atleast not while Liam was still fuming

The car ride had felt like forever and once they had gotten out the car and into the house Michael walked straight upstairs to his room, closing the door behind him

"Do you think you were a bit harsh?" Zayn asks quietly, as Liam rubbed his temples sitting at the kitchen table

"No, I was being a stern parent. Zayn what would you have done in my position?" "I would've had him explain to me everything that happened, you said so yourself before. Eric does mess with Michael a lot"

Liam looks over to him, "I'll talk to him in an hour, he needs to be on his own right now" Zayn bends down kissing his forehead, "M'gonna go change and check on him"

Before Liam could reject, Zayn had already rushed out the kitchen making him groan. He'll have to talk to his son later, but for now he needs to calm down
