JACE
Always had to deal with some shit from Principal Vaughn.
I had been staying under his radar for nearly two years now. And now, because someone else had posted flyers around campus with Allie and me naked, I was the one in trouble. It was fucked up.
“Take Allie home,” I said to Imani.
“Jace,” Allie whispered, shaking her head. “Don’t go.”
She knew that Principal Vaughn would expel me for fucking her in the football locker room because he was the biggest dick in all of fucking Redwood, who had just been waiting to throw me out. So many people fucked on campus. I had seen it with my own two eyes with Carter and Nicole. We weren’t the only ones.
“My office now, Harbor,” Vaughn said.
Allie pulled herself out of Imani’s hold and walked to my side. “I’m coming too.”
“You have class,” Principal Vaughn said, staring at her for a moment longer than he should’ve.
“Allie, go,” I said to her.
She crossed her arms over her chest. “No. If you expel him, you’re going to have to expel me, too, for what I did with him.” Allie looped her arm around mine. “You can’t put the entire blame on him. He doesn’t deserve it.”
I removed my arm from hers. “Go home, Allie. This isn’t your fight.”
Though he looked surprised at first, Principal Vaughn cleared his throat. “If that’s what you want, then I’d like to see both of you in my office.” He held the door open and pointed into the room, glaring between us.
“She doesn’t want that, sir,” I said through clenched teeth. “She’s going home. Now.”
“No, I’m not. You’re not going down alone.”
“My office now.”
“If you expel them, you’re going to have to expel me too.” Imani stepped forward. “I fucked Poison in your office after school yesterday.”
Principal Vaughn, Allie, and I looked over at Imani with wide eyes. She swallowed hard, her cheeks flushing red, and uncomfortably crossed her arms over her chest. She gave Allie a small smile and nudged her.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear about anyone else’s sexcapades. All three of you, inside my office before I call security.” Principal Vaughn walked into his office and sat at his desk.
Imani wrapped her arm around Allie’s and walked with her into the room. I followed after him and collapsed into the chair beside Allie. Well, we were all fucked now. Allie and Imani could lose their acceptances to college, and football for me was long gone.
Poison followed us into the room and locked the door behind them.
“You’re not expelling anyone,” João said to the principal, sliding his ass onto the desk and lighting a cigarette right in Vaughn’s face. “If you do, we’ll release your file to the community.”
Vaughn went to snatch the cigarette from João’s hand, but he pulled it away.
“Don’t you want to know which file? There are tons of them out there on you. And all the damn money in the world won’t save your ass this time.”
Principal Vaughn flared his nostrils. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“The cameras that you installed yourself in the girls’ locker room two years ago.”
All the blood drained from Vaughn’s face. Allie tensed and looked at me with wide eyes. This must’ve been something that was in that damn file from Nicole’s father’s house. There had been loads of shit in there.
“H-how do you know about that? It’s erased.”
Landon walked around the desk and clasped his hands on Vaughn’s shoulders, clamping down tightly. “Once it’s out in the world, you can’t erase anything. You can hide it behind money, but money won’t buy our silence about it.”
Kai grabbed the papers from Imani’s hand and uncrumpled them, showing him the pictures of Allie and me from the locker room. “Do those look like they were taken by a phone or a video recorder, Jace?”
