Come on won't you fight or you have already given up huh. Ivan shouted as a sinister grin appeared on his face.
You're just a pathetic waste of space, Louis. You'll never amount to anything, and even your dreams are a joke.
You think you can become a Guardian? Ha! You can't even protect yourself from a bully like me!" The crowd standing laughter echoed in is ears
Louis got angered of what Ivan said he clenched his fist as he also get up as he gave ivan a puch to mouth has he fell down Louis standing victorious.
In that moment the principal burst into the scene, his authoritative presence commanded immediate attention.
His piercing gaze swept the room, taking in the scattered students, the tense atmosphere, and the two combatants - Ivan, still reeling from the punch, and Louis, standing tall, his fist still clenched.
The principal's eyes narrowed, his eyebrows furrowed in disapproval, as he strode towards the pair.
The room fell silent, the only sound the soft murmur of Ivan groaning as he struggled to his feet.
The principal's gaze locked onto Louis, his expression stern and unyielding. "Louis, meet me at my office?" he demanded, his voice firm but controlled.
I'm so sorry, sir. I had no idea Louis was involved in a fight until I got your call."
Principal Ryder looked up from the papers on his desk, his expression stern and unyielding. "Sorry? Sorry isn't enough, Thomas. Your son's behavior is unacceptable. He's a scholarship student, and he's lucky to be here. But if he can't even get along with Ivan, then perhaps he doesn't belong at our school."
Thomas's face contorted with worry. "Please, sir, don't say that. Louis is a good kid, he just made a mistake..."
Principal Ryder sneered. "A mistake? Your son's mistake is going to cost him his place at this school, Thomas. And if you can't control him, then maybe he doesn't belong here. I can't allow your son to spoil our school's image.
You know the person your son got into a fight with is the best kid in the school, who has led the school to victorious competitions and won a lot of trophies. But your son, zero.
And his dad is a big investor in the school, but you, zero. And his dad is the senator, that won't make me think twice to dismiss Louis from this school."
Thomas's eyes widened in desperation. "Please, sir, have mercy... Louis is my only child, and I'm doing the best I can.
Principal Ryder's expression turned glacial. "Mercy? Your son doesn't deserve mercy, Thomas.
He deserves to be taught a lesson. And if you can't teach him, then maybe I will. Don't beg to me, go and beg Ivan's dad.
He's the one who can save your son's place in this school." He smiled evilly, showing no empathy.
As Thomas turned to leave, Principal Ryder added, "And wait, Thomas. I almost forgot. Louis chose to be a Guardian in his SCR. That's just...unbelievable." Thomas's face turned red with anger and disbelief, his eyes bulging in rage.
Thomas stepped outside, taking a deep breath of fresh air. That's when he saw them - Mr. Harrison Grant, Ivan's father, and Ivan himself, standing by the driveway about to enter their luxurious black Bentley Continental GT.
Mr Grant was impeccably dressed in a tailored black suit, his silver hair slicked back, and a gold watch glinting on his wrist. Ivan stood beside him, a smug expression on his face.
Thomas rushed over, desperate to plead for mercy. The rain poured down around them, but the servants held umbrellas over the Harrison and Ivan, shielding them from the downpour.
"Please, sir, have mercy!" Thomas begged, his voice cracking with emotion. "Don't expel my son! He's a good kid, he made a mistake, that's all!"
Mr. Harrison turned to face Thomas, his expression cold and unfamiliar. "And who are you to me?" he asked gruffly.
I'm Thomas, Louis's father," Thomas replied, his eyes pleading.Please, sir, show compassion!"Mr. Grant, Ivan, I'm so sorry for what my son did to you. Louis doesn't know what he's doing, and I apologize for his behavior."
Mr. Grant's face turned red with anger, his voice booming. "Sorry? Sorry isn't enough, Thomas! Your son attacked mine, and now he's facing expulsion! Do you know how humiliating that is for me? For my family?"
Thomas bowed his head, his eyes cast downward. "I know, sir. I'm deeply sorry. My foolish son didn't know what he was doing. Please forgive him, and forgive me for not teaching him better."
Louis, come here, son! Beg for forgiveness!"
He hesitated, his eyes flashing with anger. He didn't want to beg, especially not to the father of the boy who had started the fight. But Thomas's grip on his shoulder was firm, forcing him to walk over to Mr. Harrison.
"Please, sir, forgive me," Louis muttered, his voice barely audible. He couldn't meet Mr. Harrison's eyes, his anger and humiliation boiling over.
Ivan, standing beside his father, snickered. "Look at him, Dad, he's so disrespectful. He can't even apologize properly."
Louis's eyes snapped up, his face burning with rage. He hadn't started the fight, but he was the one being forced to apologize. Ivan had mocked him, pushed him around, and now he was enjoying Louis's humiliation.
Thomas's grip on Louis's shoulder tightened. "Bow down, son. Show respect."
Louis's anger and frustration peaked. He didn't want to bow down, didn't want to show respect to the boy who had wronged him. But Thomas's grip was unyielding, forcing him to bend his head and bow his body.
Mr. Harrison's expression remained cold, unimpressed. "You should be ashamed, boy. Your behavior is unacceptable."
His voice dripping with disdain. "You should have taught him better, Thomas. You should have taught him to respect his colleagues. Now, get out of my sight before I lose my temper completely!"
Thomas nodded, still bowed down, his face burning with shame. "Yes, sir. I understand."
With that, Mr. Harrison and Ivan entered their car, leaving Thomas and Louis standing in the rain, their faces etched with despair.
The servants followed, closing the doors behind them, and the car drove away, leaving the two alone in the downpour. The luxurious Bentley Continental GT disappeared into the distance, leaving Louis and Thomas to their misery.
As they stood there, the rain pouring down around them, Louis felt a deep sense of injustice, of anger, and of helplessness. He was trapped, forced to apologize and bow down to the boy who had wronged him. And no one seemed to care.
