Beaming Love

Trouble

"Babe, your phone..."

I roll over half asleep hearing Jen's phone go off but she doesn't seem to notice at all.

"Hello?"

"Hi can I please speak to Jennifer?"

"This is her husband. She's asleep. Can I help?"

"Yeah, uh, I'm calling from Los Angeles East school, I have Alexander with me and we'll need to discuss some disciplinary actions if you can come to the school."

"Okay, yeah I'll be there in about 30 minutes."

I jump out of bed to get dressed trying not to wake Jen as I know this will piss her off majorly and I don't want her going to the school with her raging hormones right now.

As I walk into the school, I try to think of what he could have possibly done this early in the morning when school only started two hours ago. I know he isn't always the brightest but this is new for him.

"Hi, I'm here for Alexander Aniston, they just called me."

"Oh right this way Mr. Pitt. He's in the office with principal Apple right now."

She leads me down a narrow hallway filled with doors until we finally reach the last one where I see AJ sitting across from a very pissed off looking principal. I take a seat next to AJ looking for any clues from him as to what might have happened.

"Well since you're here Mr. Pitt we can get started. Do you have any questions for me?"

"Yeah... what exactly did he do? How serious is this?"

"Alexander was caught smoking pot in the elevator that is only used by students and faculty with mobile disabilities. A staff member got in after him and could smell it which lead us to look through the camera footage from the morning."

"Jesus AJ. Really?"

"I swear it was just a little that I got from a friend to try out! I didn't even have a full half a joint."

The principal ignores him, moving on.

"He didn't have enough on him that we feel the need to take any legal action or get law enforcement involved but per school policy we will need to suspend him."

"For how long? What kind of suspension?"

"I've decided he'll do one day of out of school suspension starting today, and then two full days of in school suspension starting tomorrow. However, since we are being nice not going the legal route, we will have some other stipulations for him."

"I didn't agree to anything else."

"These weren't brought up to you previously, that's why we're going over them now. Instead of community service hours that would go on his permanent record, we've decided he can spend time at the school volunteering with extra curricular activities."

"So this won't be going on his record at all?"

"We have no intentions of reporting it, so it won't be on his record. However if he was to not show up or cause any further issues, we have the right to report the incident."

"Okay, well that sounds fair. He obviously needs punished. Is there anything else we need to do?"

"Just sign an agreement form and that should be all. We have everything set up for the suspension already."

I read over the paper he hands me to make sure it isn't doing anything that could hurt AJ even though I could personally kill him myself right now, and reach for the pen, signing my name right where it's needed as he watches unhappily.
