Chapter 37
I just roll my eyes and turn back to the table who was watching this whole situation unfold, “Your right Kristy. It mattered so much that I cheated to win a pageant when I was eight. You got me.” I remain unbothered while she calls me a cheater for the next few minutes.
“Your mom was a whore, so she probably slept with the judges.” She says.
That’s where I lose it.
I grab my lunch tray and throw my food off of it. Then, with all my strength I slap the ever–loving–fuck out of her with it. She falls to the grab and I grab her hair and throw her so shes on her back. People are yelling, but I don’t care. I climb on top of her and punch her as many times as I can. I only get about three good ones in before someone pulls me off.

“Let go of me!” I yell as I struggle to get out of their grip.
“Lee, clam down.” Damion says. Kristy is bleeding and crying on the floor and her friend Shelby is comforting her. I am still trying to beat the fuck out of her, but Damion is too strong.
“Call my mom a whore again b*tch.” I yell at Kristy. Damion picks me up and drags me out of the cafeteria. I see that Warren, Kasey, Max and Blake are all flowing us. He finally outs me down and I try to get back into the cafeteria. I want to rip that b*tch apart.
“Lee, stop.” Damion says.
“f**k, no. My mother was a god damn angel, and I’ll be demanded if I let that stuck up b*tch call her a whore.” I yell.
“Your right, she was an angel. But you still need to calm down.” He says gently. I take a few deep breathes and mumbles fine. Then, Kasey comes up to me and hugs me.
“That was so bad–ass, but are you ok?” She asks.
I laugh a little, “Yeah, I’m fine. Weak ass b*tch was all bark no bite.”
“Damn straight.” Blake says.
Max grumbles a, “Your right.”
“You didn’t even let her get one hit it.” Warren says with a smile.
I roll my eyes playfully.
“Dammit, I have to go to the office.” I say with a sigh.
They all silently nod. I ask one of them to grab me my backpack and Kasey says she will. Damion offers to come with mé, but I tell him no I need to be alone. That’s when I turn and walk to the office.
Alright, lets do this. I think as I walk into the office.
I don’t even bother stopping at the front desk, I walk straight into the principals office.
Lee’s POV
“Miss Emerson, I understand that you are having a tough time, but that does not excuse you hitting another student across the face with a lunch tray.” Mr. Kern says with a sigh.
“A tough time? A tough time?” I ask as my voice raises.
I stand up, “My mother is dead. That is not a tough time, and anyways this isn’t about that. She called my mother a whore, she’s lucky all I did was hit her across the face with a lunch tray.”
He opened his mouth to continue talking, but there was a knock at the door. Mr. Kern says to come in and I take a seat to try and calm down.
I look over to the door and to my Damion walks in accompanied by his father. For some reason, I feel calmer now that they’re here. Or maybe its just because he’s here.
I swear he is everywhere.
You love it though.
Shut up.
“Mr. Kern.” Mr. Cruz nods. I give Damion a, why the fuck are you here, look and he doesn’t react. So I turn my attention back to the two men..
“Mr. Cruz, it is a pleasure.” Mr. Kern says with an expression I can’t quite figure out. His b*dy is tense, but his face is smiling. He looks super weird.
“Yes, Mr. Kern. What is not a pleasure is being called down here because Lee is in trouble for such a small matter.” Mr. Cruz says with a voice full of authority. He sounds like how I imagine a king would sound, if that makes sense.
“Uhh, well yes. Lee was called down here because she got in a fight with another student.” Mr. Kern says quickly as though he is defending his decision.
I am so confused right now.
Mr. Cruz looks over to me, “Lee, why did the fight start?” I gulp.
“She… s–she called my mom a whore.” I say while trying to not cry.
Lee, pull yourself together. Mama ain’t raise no b*tch.
Mr. Cruz nods and looks back at Mr. Kern, “I think her response is perfectly justified, so why is she here instead of…” He trails off.
“Kristy Travis.” Damion interjects.
“Kristy Travis.” Mr. Cruz says.
“Well, she needed medical attention, Mr. Cruz. Lee did quite the number on her Kristy did nothing wrong.” Mr. Kern says with a confused face.
This everyone, is where I once again lost my shit.
“Nothing! She called my mother a whore and accused her of sleeping with the judging panel at a f**king 3rd grade pageant so I would win! In my book that is wrong. She used vulgar and offensive language, and also slut shamed. This whole thing is absolute bullshit and you know it!” I said while getting right in Mr. Kern’s face
