Matt ♂ - 17 ♋ || The Joker
It didn't take long for Matt to reach the open doors of the office, and he found his principal waiting for him by the
door. He found it as overkill, obnoxiously so. All this for showing up late? He kept his mouth shut as he walked
up to the principal, expecting to get chewed out. However, the door did not close and the principal did not seem
hostile. Matt, confused, furrowed his brow as he took a seat in the plastic chair that was situated across from the
wooden desk in the middle of the room. The principal followed him, sitting on the opposite side of the desk.
Eagerly awaiting news, Matt shifted in his seat as the man across from him pulled out a file. The principal opened
his bearded mouth to speak, "It's come to my attention, Matt, that last year you missed a lot of school," and it was
at this point that Matt started blocking out the speaking. His mind wandered to more important things, like the cool
stuff he'd been up to last year when he had skipped school. Racking his brain for some petty redemption speech, he
came up short of anything that wasn't cheesy. He considered Morgan Freeman's speech in "Shawshank Redemption."
"Do you understand what I'm saying, Matthew?"
His eyes blinked furiously as he focused back on his principal. "My name is Matt," was all he could muster up to say.
He ignored the clench in the principal's jaw, staring straight over his shoulder.
"Matthew if this behavior continues, we'll have to call your parents to discuss other options," he said shortly. Matt
rubbed his arm before looking back up at the principal who sat across from him.
"Got it," he mumbled and left the room without receiving permission to leave.
