Extra 14: Pride

James, for his part, felt bad while he waited for one of his parents to show up, along with Edward. The mothers of Frank and Paul had already arrived.

"Looks like you're the one whose parents don't care about him," Frank mocked, noticing James's parents still hadn't shown up.

"Frank, shut up and stop bothering him," Edward sold, frowning. "Unlike your moms, our parents work."

"God... you say that with pride. How did a kid of your social status even get into this school?" Frank's mom remarked.

"Having both parents work is a source of pride, ma'am," James said, frowning.

"What a rude child. It's clear he has no manners, and his parents-

"His parents what?" came a man's angry voice, scaring the women.

"Dad," Edward said in surprise, seeing him next to him. He'd thought his mom would come.

"Uncle," James greeted.

"Ma'am, I suggest you refrain from making such comments in front of the children or prepare for the consequences," Christian said, placing himself between Edward and James. "How dare you threaten me? Don't you know who my husband is?" the woman said angrily.

"I don't know, but I'd love to replace out so I know who to sue for damages and inform Child Services that you're not properly educating your child," Christian declared, frightening both women. "Please, come in," the principal said, noting that one parent was still missing. "James, where are your mom and dad?"

"Um... they..."

"Good afternoon," they heard hurried footsteps approaching.

"Mom!" James said happily, running to help her as she pushed a stroller with the twins.

"James, what happened to you?" she asked, worried when she saw the bruise on her son's cheek. James noticed her concern and tried to cover his cheek with his hand. "Twins," Edward said, approaching the stroller and looking at the awake babies.

Deborah saw that Edward also had a few bruises and that his uniform was torn. "Who dared to touch

my son and godson?" she asked angrily, eyeing the other kids and their mothers.

"Sorry to make you come in, ma'am," the principal said, trying to grab the adults' attention to prevent a confrontation in the hallway.

Ugh... Ma'am, you don't know what it means to hire a nanny," one of the mothers mocked.

"Or maybe you don't even have the money for one," added the other.

"Deborah raised on eyebrow at the two women.

"Boss," Max arrived, running and carrying a diaper bag Sorry for taking so long. I couldn't replace a parking.

spot."

"It's okay. Max," she said, glancing sideways at the women. "Please, take care of the twins. It looks like things will get rough inside, and I don't want them to cry."

"Of course," he said, taking the stroller and staying in a corner of the office to keep the babies calm

The principal looked worried, seeing all four adults were visibly upset. He hurried to start talking and present the issue.

"Good afternoon," the principal said, seeing the kids' teacher arrive to support him.

"First of all, I apologize for calling you and interrupting your work," the principal said, looking at Christian and Deborah. "But a delicate situation arose in class. Your children started arguing, which escalated into a physical fight," he said, frowning slightly. "And that's behavior we won't tolerate in this school."

"They started it, Mom!" Frank shouted, starting to cry as he hugged his mother's legs.

"Yeah, Mom, sniff.. they hit us really hard," Paul said.

"What a bunch of liars," Edward said, frowning at the terrible performance of the two boys.

"They started by picking on Edward," James said, frowning.

"Damn brat! Don't lie! Look at how hurt my poor baby is, Frank's mother said.

"Hey! You will respect my son and never call him a damn brat again, or else," Deborah declared.

"God... how vulgar."

"Principal, I demand that you expel those children immediately," Paul's mother ordered.

"And why should they be expelled? We were just defending ourselves against their bullying," James said.

"We have proof they started it," Edward added.

"Proof?" Frank was a bit shaken.

"Come on, don't lie," Paul said, trying to sound confident.

"Son, what proof do you have?" Christian asked.

"This," Edward said happily, pulling his cell phone from his backpack and handing it to his dad. "I recorded the bullying."

"Hey! Why does this kid have his phone? Aren't they banned?" Frank's mother complained.

"That rule doesn't apply to Edward because he's the second-best student in the class, and I've never had to call him out," the teacher said. "Besides, we gave him the phone because we said we'd text him after school to let him know who would pick him up," Christian explained.
