Chapter 2Fed A Student And Got Blamed

Zachary Thorne was caught off guard by my response and froze for a moment.

That teacher named Rebecca Foster jumped up beside him.

"Mr. Thorne, look at her attitude! This shameless thing should be severely punished!"

I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my reddened wrist where she'd grabbed me.

"Stop talking and make the call."

Zachary Thorne rose to the challenge and picked up the desk phone.

"What's the number?"

I rattled off a string of digits.

He dialed, pressed the speakerphone, and said arrogantly.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Zachary Thorne from Ivy Ridge High School. Are you this student's parent? Your child has been seducing male students at school. Please come immediately!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end.

Then a voice came through, clearly confused.

"What? What are you saying? Who?"

Zachary Thorne repeated.

"Your daughter has been seducing male students at school! Please come to the school immediately to handle this!"

Silence again on the other end.

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

If Mr. Thorne knew who was on the other end, he'd probably wet his pants already.

Too bad he didn't know.

He was still standing there arrogantly, waiting for my "parent" to come and apologize to him.

"Mr. Thorne," the voice on the other end became strange, "are you certain you're talking about my daughter?"

"Of course I'm certain!" Zachary Thorne was getting impatient. "Are you coming or not?"

The other side said, "I'll be right there. Mr. Thorne, until I arrive, no one is to lay a finger on her."

The phone hung up.

Mr. Thorne held the receiver and snorted.

"Pretty arrogant."

Rebecca Foster came over.

"What happened? What was their attitude?"

"Said they'll be right here," Zachary Thorne put down the receiver. "Told me not to touch her."
