Next thing I knew I was in the office. My mom sat next to me. She had a stern look on her face. I thought for sure I was in big trouble. Then my phone dinged.

"Emerson turn off your phone. We need to have a serious talk." My principal said. I turned my phone around to see who it was.

Mama 🧸
I'm not mad so anything i say in here forget.

I looked up and nodded at my mom. I turned off my ringer and set my phone in my pocket.

"Ma'am your daughter sent a student to the office. Do you understand how serious that is?" My principal started.

"Yes sir. I can usher you it will never happen again. Emerson is in huger trouble." My mom said talking with her hands.

"We have no choice but to suspend Emerson. For the rest of the year. She's lucky she didn't get expelled." He said stacking some papers.

"She has to wait until New Years to come back?!" My mom asked grabbing my hand.

"No just the rest of the school year." He said shaking his head. " there is a good side. Usually you'd have to redo this year. But I've decided to let you do your work online, you can rejoin you peers next year." He continued.

"I'm so sorry. It will never happen again!" I said pushing our fake tears.

"Thank you sir. We'll be heading out now. I need to have a longgg conversation with Emerson." She concluded.

"Have a good day ma'am" My principal opened the door and lead us out.

When I got to the car I let out a big sigh. I looked at my mom to see what she'd say next.

"YES EM! YOU FINALLY SHOWD THEM WHOS THE BOSS!" She said hugging me. "I will be honest with you Em. You went to far. Maybe calm down next time. You won after a few hits. Then you needed to chill." She said seriously.

"I know ma I'm sorry. I got carried away." I said looking down and messing with my hands. My mom grabbed my face with the knuckle of her pointer finger.

"I'm not mad at you. Just don't do that again. If you need to fight. Do it fairly." She said turning on the car.

We started driving back to house. When we passed the gas station I couldn't help but think of ashtray. Every moment we've ever shared together danced across my mind. I missed him. I needed to see him.

"Mom can you let me out here. I want to hang out with someone and they work at that gas station." I said pointing to the place we just passed.

"Sure hon. Text me if you plan on staying the night or anything like that." I nodded grabbing my vape and phone out of my bag and walked to the gas station.

When I walked in as usual fez was sitting on the counter smoking a blunt. "Shit Emerson. What the fuck happened to you?" He asked concern plastered across his face. I had forgotten about the blood splatters on my clothes.

"Get ashtray out here. I'll tell you both at the same time." I said pointing to the back where ashtray usually was.

"He ain't here ma." Fez said taking another hit of his blunt.

"What?!" I asked ashtray went everywhere with fez. It was scary knowing he wasn't with him. On top of all that. He didn't tell me he wouldn't be working. I don't need to know everything that he does but at the time I though he was in trouble. Terrifying scenarios races my mind.

"He started school today. It was a surprise for you ma." Fez said, "so why the hell is there blood all over you? N why ain't you in school?" He finished.

" me and you got in a fight. I kind of forgot to stop hitting her when she started to bleed. I went crazy. Everyone says I almost killed her. I almost feel bad even though she kind of deserved it. I got suspended from school for the rest of the school year." I said surprisingly embarrassed from my actions. I looked up at fez, he was smiling ear to ear.

"Little Emerson? You're telling me you Emerson beat someone up so bad she has suspended for the rest of the school year?" He asked shocked.

"Yeah.." I said confused.

"Brooo let's go lil mama." He said giving me a high five. "What time does y'all's school get out. Imma pick ash up. Wanna come?" He asked putting out his blunt.

"2:00 today. It gets out at 1:00 on Wednesdays." I said checking the time. 11:00 exactly. First hour starts at 8:00. How long were we fighting? I couldn't help but wonder. Then my phone buzzed. I knew it wasn't gonna be good.
