Chapter 128
Who would have thought that under those circumstances, Flora would still remember to take photos!
“Mr. Trevor, it was them who bullied Kaylee first. What I did was merely in self–defense. I demand justice for Kaylee.” Flora stated the
facts.
“Don’t worry, Flora. We will handle this strictly,” said Mr. Trevor sternly.
Though no substantial harm was caused, the nature of the incident was quite severe.
It happened at a critical time during their senior year. Thankfully, Kaylee was not seriously harmed. If something had happened, they wouldn’t know how to explain it to the parents.
Given the girls had prior misconduct records, Mr. Trevor quickly made a decision on how to deal with the situation.
They got a severe reprimand and suspension.
Mr. Trevor made calls to have the girls‘ parents come pick them up.
The families of these girls weren’t well–off. Their parents appeared to be from working–class backgrounds, their faces marked by the toll of hard labor and exposure to the elements. One could imagine their lives weren’t easy.
When the parents arrived, they didn’t say a word before fiercely scolding their daughters, then pleading with Mr. Trevor. Some mothers even knelt down to beg.
Mr. Trevor had seen too many parents struggling to make ends meet, all for the hope of sending their children to college for a better future. Yet, their children let them down.
The situation was bad, with so many students having witnessed it. He must take this seriously.
Mr. Trevor hardened his heart, unmoved by their pleas.
The parents cried and made a scene in the office before eventually dragging their children away.
Mr. Trevor glanced at Flora, who was quietly scrolling through her phone, and then at Kaylee, who was in tears.
Thinking of the negative comments online, he said, “Kaylee, you’ve always been a well–behaved student, and all the teachers like you.”
“But this situation with Rafael… it’s causing quite a stir online, and it’s escalating. My advice is for you to go home and wait for things to calm down before returning to school. What do you think?”
Kaylee’s face turned pale in an instant.
Mr. Trevor continued, “How about this, I’ll call your mom right now to come and pick you up.”
“No!” Kaylee shook her head desperately, her eyes filled with fear and panic.
She couldn’t bear to think of how her mom would react upon learning about her suspension.
“Please, I don’t want to be suspended. I can continue attending classes. It’s my senior year, and every moment counts. If I miss several days of school, how will I keep up with my studies or take my exams.”
“Kaylee, I’m doing this for your own good,” Mr. Trevor said helplessly. “You’ve seen how intense your classmates‘ reactions were. If you stay in school, who knows what might happen? The school simply can’t guarantee your safety. No more discussion, I’m calling your mom right now to come and pick you up.”
Kaylee’s situation was dangerous. Who knew what could happen next? The school couldn’t take that responsibility.
Mr. Trevor quickly called Kaylee’s mother.
After hanging up, he kindly told Kaylee, “Your mom knows something’s happened and is very worried about your safety. She’s on her way to the school now.”
For anyone who’s been through a distressing event, the person they’d most want to see is their family.
But Kaylee was far from relieved. She was visibly terrified and even began to tremble.
