A/N: Ok, I'll just let you know whenever the book cover is up, I won't bother you anymore. I have some problems with sizes and stuff.

And here we sat. Sitting in the principal's office at 9 am. On a freaking Saturday. We is Rachel, me, her parents, my mom, and Eliot. Eliot looked funny with his nose plaster. Of course, he was still pissed as fuck. And of course, we were satisfied, especially Rachel. We smiled at him from time to time for pure amusement, he'd give us the death glare in return.

"Mr. Hampden, could you please explain what happened?" - "Rachel hit me right in the face and broke my nose." - "I can see that. I mean could you explain why she'd do that?" - "I have no idea, I was just having a conversation with Chloe. She eventually stood behind me and as soon as I turned around I felt her fist on my face." James shook his head. "Rachel, you can't control your temper, can you?" - "Dad, he's telling bullshit. I mean, yeah, I broke his nose, but there's a story behind it. It's not like I just punch random people in the face!" Wells cleared his throat.

"Miss Amber, could you please explained what happened?" - "Yes. It started when I got a text from Stephanie Gingrich, warning us to better stay away from Eliot. Chloe and I stood by the lockers when Eliot saw us and went straight to us. He wanted to talk with us. the whole school was looking at us to that point. Then he insulted me and accused me of faking the relationship between Chloe and me, what made me angry, of course. He pushed me aside, I don't know why, but as soon as I knew it, I punched his face. I think it's the push what let me lose my temper," Rachel truthfully said. 

"THAT IS NOT TRUE, I DIDN'T PUSH YOU ASIDE AND I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP! YOU JUST PUNCHED ME!" Eliot said. Nobody believed him, not even Wells as you could see. "Eliot, that's bullshit and you know it. I don't know if it's helping but Eliot has a crush on me for almost 3 years. He is jealous, I guess." I said, rolling my eyes. Eliot huffed. 

"Why exactly did we have to show up? That's clearly something that can be discussed without parents," my mom said. And she was kind of right. Wells hasn't really spoken to any of our parents, the whole discussion is between me, Rachel and Eliot. Just like yesterday. Oh, and principal Wells of course.

"Mrs. Price, I ordered the three of you here to help me find a conclusion to this. But we're not even close to a conclusion, yet." I interfered. "Well, kind of, yes we are. Just tell Eliot to stay away from us and everything is fine." - "Miss Price, you know that your behavior as well Miss Amber's will also face consequences, right?" Rachel looked at me confused. "Wait, why? Chloe didn't do anything except standing there. She even tried to hold me back but failed. So she has to suffer as well, just because I couldn't control my temper?" - "That's how you put it. I'll see. I'm still waiting, there is one person missing in this round." Wait, what? Who? He didn't invite Logan, did he? I don't need that douchebag here, he'll just support Eliot anyway.

Like the person knew she was needed, the door knocked. "I'm so sorry, I overslept and rushed here as soon as I could." - "Okay. Just sit down." Rachel and I sighed in relief, it was Steph. Eliot buried his face in his hands, knowing that this couldn't be good.

"Miss Gingrich, can you bring light to the situation? I've heard that you warned Miss Price and Miss Amber. Can you explain why you did that and what happened during the discussion?"

"Of course. I warned both of them because I overheard a conversation between Eliot and Logan, clearly looking for trouble. He repeatedly said that he can't believe that Rachel is using Chloe for that long and that he wants to talk some sense into Chloe. That's why I warned them, clearly seeing the problem. Chloe and Rachel were distracted when Eliot came to the lockers, so they didn't see him coming. They did, but it was too late already. So they started a discussion. Unfortunately, Eliot doesn't want to believe any of the things that were said to convince him of the opposite. I think Rachel already mentioned what the conversation was about. I and the other students just looked at the whole scene that was in front of us. The next thing we saw was Rachel getting pushed aside by Eliot. Eliot wanted to talk to Chloe without Rachel being around I guess. That didn't go over as he planned, though. Rachel punched him in the face for probably pushing her aside and that's it." Thank you, Steph. "Do you know if Miss Price was involved in it, like physically?" Wells asked her. "No, Chloe just stood there the whole time. She even tried to hold Rachel back." I sighed in relief. Thank you again, Steph.

"Alright, thank you, Miss Gingrich. So, Eliot, would you like to add something? - "It doesn't matter, anyway." Good choice, boy. "Okay, if that's what you think. Chloe, you're completely out of the whole thing. No consequences for you. Eliot, if you get too near to these two ever again, without them wanting it, you'll get into trouble. Skip will watch over you from now on. Rachel, you're lucky that Eliot didn't sue you. I'm afraid that you're suspended for one week." Rachel sat there, actually... glad? "Woah, that's it?" Principal Well nodded.

"Could you now explain again, why we had to come here?" This time Rose spoke up. "Exactly what I was thinking," my mom supported her. Wells just coughed. "I didn't mean to bother you. It won't happen next time. "Right. Because next time we won't even show up. Just call through, or something." Woah, Rose on fire. I didn't know she could even be pissed at all.

We all left the room. James didn't say anything, very happy about the outcome, I guess. It could've been worse and he knows it. Rose just started to small talk with my mom. James joined them. Well, that's how adults make friends, interesting. Eliot just went straight to the dorms. He was sick of us. But we were also sick of him.

"Thanks for having our backs in there, Steph." - "Nah, seriously, I just told the truth. No biggie. I gotta go, Mikey is waiting. We left our campaign open. That's actually the reason why I was late." Of course. Dungeons&Dragons.

Rachel took my hand. "Ok, you choose. Do you want to bug me the whole week or should I bug you?" - "I think your place sounds fine. I have to get some clothes first, though. I'll meet you in a few hours." I gave her a peck on the lips. While I was walking with my mom out of the building, and Rachel with Rose and James, she just... had to be Rachel. "You can come without clothes, really!" I blushed and showed her the middle finger. I don't know if she saw it since I wasn't considering to turn around. I even heard my mom chuckling. 

Thanks, Rach.
