The security guard practically picks both of them up, mutters some comment about 'lovebirds', and drops them in the principal's office. In there, they are alone while the guard talks to the principal outside.

He still has a fit of maniacal giggles.

Kate tried to be good while waiting for the principle. She really did try. However, his maniacal giggles were getting on her already frayed nerves.

Kate extended her arm to smack him just as the principle walked into his office.

"Kate!" she barks.

"Now, I've heard what happened from your teacher and the security guard. Anything you'd like to add?"

Kate jerked her arm back but still sent a glare at Derek.

"No." She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Then I'm sending both of you home. Kate, you're going for a week. Derek, you and I have had this talk. Your parents will be in on the next one."

That's her polite way of saying "expelled." No more school. He worried, but only a little. This has been coming for awhile. Sure, his parents could fight for it, but they won't.

"Cool." His voice belies his bravado.

"A week? A week?!" Kate's mind was boggled by this. That was so unfair. She hadn't done anything wrong. Well, technically speaking, she hadn't done anything wrong. Derek deserved it.

"But..." It was a mark on her record, a blemish. Her record wasn't completely perfect but it was close. "He..." She looked over at Derek. She would miss a week's worth of assignments. You couldn't make it up while expelled, that was the point.

"This is so unfair."

"Fighting the security guard -" the principal adds dismissively. "Once he shows up, the fight's over. You can have the office call your folks."

He smiles at her. "I can walk you home." They live close enough to one another.

On the inside, Kate was fuming. On the outside, she still was fuming but it more toned down. "Yes ma'am."

Kate glared at Derek. "I don't think so."

After being excused, Kate left the office. She had to call her mother and that was one awkward conversation. The problem was that her mother was unavailable to come and pick her up. Asking her father for a lift was out of the question. It looked like she would be walking home.

He's already packed his stuff and he's been intently listening in on the conversation.

"Ready?"

What she wanted to do was to wrap her hands around his neck and squeeze. On the other hand, he was really cute which was why he incredibly frustrated and annoyed her. Men.

Kate sighed, "Fine." Someone, a friend, had been kind enough to bring Kate's things to her office. "Let's go."

And they walked and walked... "Were you expelled?"

She's talking to him? Huh.

"Yeah." His hands go deeper into his pockets and he kicks another rock down the sidewalk. Then he brightens. "At least you just got a vacation."

She didn't have a choice, did she? Kate had better manners than him (she didn't always express them well, however). It would have been rude, despite him being a gigantic jerk, to just ignore him.

"What are your parents going to do?" Kate scowled at him. "A vacation? That's a week of assignments and projects that I'm not going to be able to get. It'll be nothing but big, fat, honking zeros." Not to mention her daily planner was going to have to be reworked. "Why did you do that?"

"Nothing." Nothing much. Nothing he couldn't sneak out and around.

"You can e-mail the teachers for it. They'll send it to you. State law."

He looks up. It's such a bright day the moon is showing already. "Because."

Kate looked and sounded dubious. "Okay."

And then she was back to glaring at him. She did that a lot whenever Derek talked to her (or was in the same room). "It's not the same. It's a mark."

Her scowl only deepened. "Because isn't a good enough answer. Because won't save you. There's not any security personnel around to save you so you better think of a good answer and you'd better make it quick."
