Chapter 92
" You come with me! " She ordered Lucia and the latter immediately relented and began following her.
They walked towards the Administrative block and then into the Vice Principal's office.
 There, the vice Principal who was a man in his early fifties sat Resting on his leather black chair.
" Good day, Sir. " The headteacher greeted the vice Principal with a bow.
" Good day to you too, Mrs. Irka. So what brings you here? " He asked.
" Well, this girl here Intentionally Injured William Taylor. " The woman said.
" What! How did that happen! What happened between them? " 
" Well, William claimed that she intentionally barged Into him in an attempt to take revenge on him for last Time. " 
" Last time? What happened last time. " 
" I am not sure, Sir but I think they fought before so... " 
" Oh, but that still doesn't justify her actions. " 
" So, Lucia Jackson. What do you have to say in your defense? " He asked Lucia.
" Sir, I am innocent. I didn't barge Into him intentionally and I am also not the type to hold grudges. " 
" Oh, but he claimed that you barged into him intentionally. " 
"As you said, He claimed,  Because he claimed that it's the truth doesn't mean it is, alright? " Lucia said.
" You are right about that. Please ask the men in the security department to get us the CCTV footage. " He instructed.
" Alright, sir. " The headteacher said as she soon went to do as she was told.
***
The CCTV footage was viewed and they realized that none of them were at fault.
They were about to release Lucia when high-pitched screams were heard from outside followed by the office door opening with a bang.
" Where is the girl that hurt my son? " Mrs. Taylor screamed.
" Em, Good day Mrs. Taylor. " The vice-principal stood up immediately acknowledging her presence.
" What's good about the day, uh? My precious son was injured by a wretched girl and you are greeting my good day? " She yelled.
" I am sorry Mrs . " 
" Sorry? What would that do to the pain my son is feeling Currently? Will it ease it in any way? " She asked angrily.
" I Know but according to the CCTV footage they collided with each other unintentionally, so none of them was at fault and the girl who colluded with him had already apologized to him so... " 
" Really? Fuck the CCTV footage! Get me the girl now! I want to see the face of the girl who dared to injure my precious son! " 
" Mrs... " The vice Principal tried to calm her down.
" What? Will you call her or not? " She said in a threatening tone.
" I will. " 
He then told one of the teachers to get Lucia.
Lucia was in her class as it was now Time for an English lesson when she was called out by a teacher.
She was confused but decided to just go with the teacher and find out what was going on and as expected the moment she got in she knew what was on.
  " You..!" The woman exclaimed the moment she set her eyes on Lucia.
Lucia just stayed there quietly.
' What's going on, here? ' The vice-principal thought inwardly.
" Madam... " 
" So what have you done to punish her for what she did? " She asked the vice Principal.
" We didn't punish her since she didn't do it intentionally. " He replied.
" What! How could this be?. She intentionally injured my son yet you allowed her to go Scott-free? Are you serious? " 
" But Madam she had already apologized. " He defended her.
" I don't care! She has to be punished for what she had done! " She insisted.
" But madam! " 
" I guess you've forgotten that my family owns 10% shares of this school and you are just an employee here Mr vice Principal! " She said menacingly 
" I am very sorry Madam. " He apologized when he realized that she was right.
" Good, it's good that you've known your place. " She said.
Just then the Principal of the school came running into the room.
" Good day, Mrs. Taylor. I just heard from one of the Teachers what transpired. I am very sorry that this had to happen in our school. " He said with a bow.
" Oh, it's good that here, the vice principal here was giving me lectures completely forgetting that he's just an employee. " She said.
" I am sorry about this, Madam. " The Principal said while glaring at the vice principal who cowered in fear.
" Good, I think the girl responsible for this should be punished Don't you think so? " She suggested.
" Of course Ma'am. What do you suggest? " He said fawningly. He knew that he couldn't afford to offend her at all or else he'll probably lose his job.
He couldn't be as dumb as the vice principal to support an unknown girl and risk his job in the process.
" Oh, Since she injured my son, why don't we do the same to her? " She suggested cruelly.
She was determined to take revenge on Lucia for what happened that day.
'  What! , This woman is so cruel! Taking revenge on a young girl. If this isn't bullying then what is it? " The vice-principal taught inwardly.
" What do you say, Principal? " She asked.
"  yes, yes that's a good idea. " 
" Hm, let her stay in the sun for two hours so she'll learn her lesson. " She said.
' oh my! This is so cruel! The sun is very hot! She'll get a skin burn if she stays in it for an hour. ' The headteacher thought, though she was a little impolite to Lucia at first, she didn't want her to get hurt. She couldn't be so cruel to a little girl after all she's a mother too.
" Mrs, why don't we..... " Hearing her words, the principal hesitated, he wanted to suggest something less cruel but he was interrupted.
" Will you listen to me or not? " 
" Of course I'll. Now, Mrs. Irka takes her to the school field. " He instructed the headteacher.
" Alright, sir. " The latter said relenting, what could she say? She's just a headteacher and she wouldn't want to lose her job in the process of defending an unknown girl.
