Bullying

leilani pov
we were all in home room and i was writing some health notes when mr iglesias noticed my brother wasn't here "still no lorenzo huh he knows how I get when you guys are late he doesn't want to see my angry face" mr iglesias said and pulled his 'angry face' and we just laughed

"mr iglesias you don't what it takes to make a angry face" mikey laughed  "anger"

"yeah your angry face would be a lot more effective without those crazy cute dimples" marisol cooed

"stop it" he waved her off with a smile

"what's the big deal about lorenzo being late so he misses a few minutes about the so called Great Depression" grace said and i had nodded my head that was still down on my notes

mr iglesias has done a impression of miss revere during the great depression but i was only halfway paying attention

i was really doing lorenzo's health notes since our teacher was doing a surprise notebook check and lorenzo hasn't done notes in a month

and we do notes everyday but i was also texting him and he was telling me how he isn't coming to home room

"mr iglesias it's not lorenzo's fault he's late" i said looking up for the 5 seconds it took me to say that sentence

"word on the street is that he has a bully" grace revealed

"grace-" i started

"what Lorenzos got a bully" mr iglesias turned to me

"mr iglesias don't worry about it he'll be fine trust me" i said and went back to the notes and mr iglesias went to get handouts from his desk

"wait leilani i thought you did all your health notes" mikey asked me

"oh these are lorenzo's" i said

"wait please don't tell me-"

"yup surprise notebook check in heath for all heath teachers" i told the class cutting walt off as everyone groaned taking out there notebooks

"all right before i forget we gotta go over these handouts that the school board gave us" mr iglesias started handing out the papers

"let me guess a thousand photocopies about saving trees" i asked

"no actually they want us to start using inclusive language for example when i call you guys "guys"i should be calling you "students" because some of you are ladies" he said putting a handout on my desk

"sorry lady americans" he corrected after getting a look from marisol

"who needs more crazy rules" walt asked

"that's a perfect example walt according to the new school guidelines "crazy" is considered a derogatory term" mr iglesias revealed

"I thought inclusive language has to do with gender and orientation" marisol said looking threw a few pages

"yeah lets talk about sex" walt cheered

"walt for 5 minutes how about we dont talk about sex" i said finishing the notes

"the list has to do with that class abilities nationality and ethnicity so take a look and be careful what you say"

"no way this is half of my vocabulary" walt said worried

"well in that case that makes you a real number.....14" he said and we all started laughing

"uncalled for" walt told him

"didn't feel good right"

"hurts even more coming from a number 6" walt called him and mr iglesias didn't even seemed faze not even looking at the number

"number 6 oh that's my favorite combo at jack in the box when's lunch" he asked and just then the bell rang "i did that with my mind" he cheered and everyone packed up and headed for the door

i held lorenzo's notebook in my hand as i headed for the door but unwilling got pulled back by marisol

i just sat on my desk and watched there conversation until they were done and when they were we walked out

i went to find lorenzo and found him at his locker picking his stuff up that had been thrown on the floor i'm assuming

i went over and started helping him pick his things up "thanks" he mumbled

"no problem" i said putting loose paper in his locker "oh and here are your health notes" i said handing it to him

"thanks lani i owe you" he said putting them in his backpack and picked up a few more books

"lorenzo" was heard from the voice of mr iglesias making lorenzo jump dropping the books he was holding

"not today satan" he exclaimed until he saw mr iglesias and relaxed "oh it's just you Mr.Iglesias"

while they started to talk i put everything back in his locker closing it walking off

"hey" i heard the voice of mikey as we started walking

"oh hey mikey what's up" i asked

"nothin um how's lorenzo" he asked and i shrugged a bit

"he's good- oh it's lunch wanna go to safeway" i asked him

"for what" he asked with a laugh as we got to my locker and i put my backpack in there

"well we both need new boards let's get some like caprisuns and donuts and stuff and sell them" i said closing my locker door

"cool im down" he said and we heard for the door

when we got back we but everything in mikey's locker since there was barely anything in it and soon we sold at least half the stuff we got getting $35 and we split it

****
the next day during break mr iglesias called lorenzo in his class

he told us how him and principal madison got rita expelled "are you out of your mind how could you" lorenzo exclaimed jumping off the desk we both sat on

"look man If there's one thing I know about women is that they never hold grudges" mr iglesias said and lorenzo and i both gave him deadpanned looks

"you now nothing about women" i shook my head

"yeah I can't even say that with a straight face" mr iglesias laughed

After Lorenzo told Mr.Iglesias that he liked Rita but he was just a idiot and didn't know how to tell her I then snuck out the class to hang out with Marisol

later that day at home lorenzo rushed in my room "lani rita's coming over we're kinda a thing what do i do" he asked frantically

i sat up putting the bag of chips and my phone down "ok one calm down and two when is she coming over" i asked

"an hour" he said

"ok clean your room shower then when she gets her offer her a snack then take her to your room and just be normal and chill" i told him and he nodded slowly

"got it thanks" he said rushing out my room and i went back to my phone
