The Principal's Office

Chapter 9

Nicole's pov

It's Friday and I haven't heard one peep of Olly. Nothing new of course.

I still hear people talk about her senior year skateboarding extravaganza from Monday. Someone leaked the security footage and it already has over half of a million views on it.

I spent most of the day in my office doing paperwork. Every now and then I'd hear the walkie go off and it would be security guards updating each other on Olly's where abouts whenever they came across her.

"She's just getting a redbull," one of them says.

"Are you sure it's just a redbull? It's not a prank?" another security guard questioned.

"I assure you, she's just standing in front of the vending machine drinking it and she's getting bag of Cheetos," he reported back.

"What kind?" The school resource officer demanded.

"I-I I don't know boss, I think they're regular. Why do you ask sir?"

I was cracking up at this. This is better than a soap opera.

I chuckled at how serious they were reporting back in whenever Olly was spotted in the hallways.

It was almost lunch time until I hear a loud sound from the intercom.

Rock music bursted through the speakers, "Gooooooooood morning Key West High! Safe to say we made it through the first week of school a-okay. Let's give eachother a round of applause..."

I actually hear people clapping in the main office, and around the hallways. What the hell?

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. People, people, please. You're too kind."

Is that???? Olly??

I open my blinds to see security scramble around trying to locate her and my walkie on goes off like crazy;

"Where is she?- check the library- she's not there- check the janitor's closet- the jan- Do it like your life depends on it damnit- she's not here!- damn twerp- Where and how the hell did she get access to the intercom?!"

A rush went over my body. I'm not sure how to describe it. I'm pissed off as hell that Olly's causing a disruption to the entire school. But then there's this other part of me where I'm glad she's causing a disruption; all week I've been doing nothing but paperwork and now some action take place.

"Ollyyyyyy!" I hear one of the security guards outside my office yell in frustration.

"I didn't know you were a fan Pete. I'm so flattered. I could here you all the way from here," students in the hallways laughed as they made their way into the cafeteria.

You could hear the chatter from the intercom.

"She's gotta be in the hallways," the walkie went off.

I sat back down on at my desk and looked at the security cameras. None of them showed where she was. But it was loud and clear moments ago that she was surrounded by kids. My door opens and quickly shuts but I didn't see anyone come in.

I stayed quiet and I then heard huffing puffing. I carefully get up from my desk and cautiously got closer to the sound.

Olly.

"Hey there Nicole," she laid out on the ground and waved with a tired but happy smile.

"Olly, what did you do?" She immediately gets up and readjusts her SnapBack and puts it on backwards.

"Got everyone pumped for the weekend, what does it look like I did?" She said cluelessly.

"You started a riot!" I yelled.

She immediately smirked at me, "I started a pep rally, don't you have security cameras somewhere? She looked around my office and saw my other monitor set off to the side. I noticed a smile crept up on her face, "look, the cafeteria."

I turned around and saw the school band, cheerleaders and the football team gathered in the cafeteria and it's actually a pep rally. Students gathered around handing eachother boxes of pizza and canned sodas. I'm really impressed.

"Who's your accomplice?" I whirled around and raised an eyebrow at her.

She was wearing some loose fitting ripped jeans, some vans and a Levi's cropped t-shirt.

"Doesn't matter, I'm the real master mind," she places the intercom on my desk and I immediately froze. That's my intercom. How the hell did she- Olivia Marshall...

I cleared my throat after I caught myself looking at her a little bit too long, "you know all of security is actively looking for you," I sat back down at my desk.

She toyed around with the mini globe I had on my book shelf and she smiled; "yeah but I came here for you actually," she turned to face me. I froze...

I watched her pick up her backpack from the floor and took out a tied plastic bag. "Have you eaten?" She asked.

I was prepared to say no but my stomach said other wise and her eyes lit up with excitement.

"I got you lunch," she unraveled it and I was at a loss words. Michael hasn't gotten me lunch since- oh never mind.

It's the exact same lunch I had on Monday.. how'd she-

"I noticed you were eating this on Monday when you were on my ass about me leaving campus during lunch," she scratched the back of her head.

I melted at the gesture and diligently ate.

As much as I wanted to scold her, I'm just as as much as at awe of her. I can't remember a time where Michael would do cute things. Shit, I even consider paying attention cute. Wait- she can't be cute, not in my book.

She pulled out a couple of cheeseburgers and had herself a canned soda. We're pretty much same height if I took off my heels but not even I can eat that much.

Moments later, rapid knocking interrupts my thoughts. "Mmph- come in!" I grabbed a napkin and a security guard comes in out of breath.

"Ma'am we searched everywhere and we- you!" He glared at Olly and pointed his finger.

She didn't react. She just casually unwraps another burger. "Can we use inside voices? If I'm going to have lunch detention for snagging the intercom and causing a- what was it again Ms. Waters? a riot? -ah yes that- don't provoke me or I'll have the STEM kids tinker with your walkies for senior prank day," Olly didn't even bother turning around to face him.

He stuttered and regained composure, "you caught her, that's all that matters," he walked out and closed the door behind.

I revert my focus back to Olly and she's already finished her food. "Welp, I'll see you tomorrow morning sexy," she winked at me.

"The door's that way," I pointed at it.

She smirked and got closer to me, I became stiff and weak in my knees- what's happening?

I remain attentive and watched her go over and unlock the window. Olly tosses her bag outside and I couldn't help but ask, "what on earth are you doing!" I whisper yelled.

"And go out the front door with security looking for me? I don't think so. I'll be back tomorrow with your favorite coffee baby," she winks at me.

I rolled my eyes at her. She is so persistent and poor at it. I'll give her points for lunch- why am I even giving her points for anything really?

"You don't even know how I like my coffee," I scoffed. She hops back up to the rim the of window and pecks my cheek.

I softly gasp at her and she smiles softly with her one hand cupping my cheek, "which is why you're going to tell me," she runs her thumb across the brink of my chin.

"It's not that I don't mind doing the work, but you have to meet me half way darling.
Be fair," she hmm's into my ear and kissing my hand.
