While she waited, Elsie was eventually released from the principal’s office. She noticed Brie and went up to her right away. “You waited for me?”
Brie chuckled glumly. “Sort of. I called my daddy to take me home. I’ve had it with today.”
“Lucky,” Elsie said.
“How did it go in there?”
“Pretty good! I told him what Gretchen said, and she actually didn’t deny it. She told him we were sluts and we should get raped and we were going to hell.”
“God, she’s awful,” Brie said.
“He basically said as much and gave her a week’s detention. She’s still getting an earful about ‘bodily agency’ in there.”
“Hah, good. And you got off scot-free?”
“No,” Elsie grimaced, “I got a week for fighting.”
“You still have blood on your nose,” Brie pointed out.
Elsie sniffed.
The office assistant interrupted them. “Brie, your father is here. And Elsie, here’s your hall pass.” She leaned over the desk toward them and said, “I heard what you did for your friend, so I put a late return time on it, so you can take your time.” She winked.
“Cool!” Elsie said. She turned to Brie, “Alright, see you tomorrow. The halls are calling.”
