It's the first time in my life to be in the principals office for something bad. I thought it'd be the same as when I go for anything else but now I feel a little bit scared. She's definitely going to suspend us or give us detention and I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about how I'm going to explain myself. It's my fault this fight happened.

"Boys, I hope you have a good explanation for this." Principal Weathers sits down and intertwines her fingers on the desk.

"It's all his fault." Elliot points his finger at Lenny who is standing like a scared little puppy with a bandage on his nose.

"Before we fault anyone let's hear what the problem was." She looks expectantly at Lenny.

"Miss, I just went over to their desk and they yelled at me for nothing. Of course I wanted to protect myself and a fight started."

"Oh drop the innocent act Lenny." Trevor says. "Miss, he came saying he has a problem with us, with Ash to be exact, but Ash hasn't done anything to him, he hasn't even spoken to him." He then explains the true story.

"Lenny? What's the truth?" She asks calmly.

"I'm sorry for what I did Miss but it was Ashby's fault. He kept pushing my buttons in P.E and I only wanted to ask him why." I swear if he doesn't stop babying up to Principal Weathers...

"He's lying again Miss." I finally speak up. "He's the one that pushed me while playing basketball and threatened me and then he came saying he's got a problem with me. He started it first, he got his friends with him too, he was going to hit me but Trevor punched him. And I'm sure he's not one bit sorry for it because Lenny also said some hurtful words to both him and Elliot too. You can ask any student and they'll tell you that this happened, not the lies Lenny's telling." Trevor and Elliot are looking at me with wide eyes but they're both slightly smiling. Is it because of what I said?

"Is this the truth Lenny? Or are they still lying?" Damn, that's one patient woman. She still wants the truth out of him too. Lenny stays silent and looks down. That's enough of an answer for her to come to a conclusion.

"If that's all then you can go." We look at each other in confusion.

"We're not getting punished?" Trevor asks her.

"It's the first time for you three and although Lenny has been in this situation before I'll let him go this time. I hope he doesn't take my kindness for granted. Now go. You have classes."

"Thank you Miss." Trevor says before we leave her office.

"Maybe it would've been nice to get suspended for a few days. I'd take a breather from school." Elliot snickers as we head back to class.

"Shut up man. We're good students." I giggle at Trevor's comment.

"Hey guys..." Lenny suddenly calls from behind us. We turn.
"I guess I am sorry. A little. For calling you faggots." He mutters looking anywhere but at us.

"Yeah, yeah. Good for you but apology not accepted." Elliot says and Trevor punches his arm.

"Apology accepted but you're still a jerk so it's better if you don't talk to us at all. Okay?" I absentmindedly nod at Trevor's words. He's right. We'll be the bigger people and he can stay being Lenny(a jerk).

We walk away after, leaving a slightly sad, slightly angry Lenny behind.

"We actually make a good team guys." Elliot says.

"Duh, we're team Trevor and his minions. How can we not be?" I roll my eyes and push Trevor aside for being an idiot.

"Hey, hey. Ash and I aren't minions. Right Ash?" Elliot comes to my side and loops his arm through mine.

"If we are minions then the name will be The minions and their Trevor." Elliot erupts into laughter and puts his tongue out at him. Trevor pretends to be mad but we can see the hidden smile.

"Nah, I thought of a better name." He then says.

"I bet you can't beat Ash's name."

"We'll be... The rainbow warriors." I make a sour face but the name doesn't sound bad. At least it easily beat mine.

"Yeah, okay. Let's be that." I say.

"Really?" Trevor beams up.

"It's better than mine so let's leave it at that."

"I like it too. At least it makes us all equal." Elliot says seriously this time.

"The name's a little ironic for me since all I wear is black and white." I say before we enter the classroom, all laughing.
