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."
