Down with Divine: Mom shows up

I was still here.

It wasn't much longer when mom finally showed up. Both of us were then escorted into the principal's office and the door closed behind us. Principal Detrick looked all solemn.

"Ms. Ortiz you are aware that Divine has been in serious trouble in this school many times. Today's incident is the last straw. I will put it before the school's board of directors, and they will make the final decision. But rest assured that given the past that he will not be attending this school anymore. I'm expelling him." Mom was staring at me.

"What happened?" Mom asked still looking at me.

"What happened is your son attacked another student and lost that fi..." Said, Mr. Bronski

"Not you, him." she said pointing at me.

"I was leaving to coming home when I was attacked by Brad. He punched me in the eye. I guess I got knocked out."

"Is that how you got the eye patch?"

"No." Mom was staring even more intensely now. "That is from dodge ball earlier."

"What eye did Brad hit you in?"

"Same one." Thinking about it made my eye hurt more.

"Okay. Let's go." She got up and headed to the door.

"We are not done Ms. Ortiz." the principal spoke up.

"We're not? That sounded pretty final to me." My mom is really badass and not just because she believed in me. I followed as quickly as I could. We passed the last door and out to the parking lot. Mom hadn't said anything else. When we got in the car she finally said something.

"They didn't even check your eye out after what happened, did they?"

"No."

"Okay. We are going to the emergency room and I'm going to call the lawyer." All the way to the doctors my eye was a buzzing hive of stinging pain.
