Icing on the Cake

~21~

“I don’t remember making a video doing that.” I said. I realized by saying that I was saying I did not do the things he accused me of, and I was being a smartass.

“You don’t?” Mr. Strands asked. “Because the video was posted only yesterday but already has over twenty thousand views.”

There was an awkward pause that felt like an hour. “So what did you want to talk to us about?”

“The inappropriate conduct in the video.” He said.

“We didn’t conduct ourselves inappropriately.” I said, trying to stay calm while my heart was beating and my face was getting hot.

“You two attacked this school and personally attacked myself.”

“Actually I think it was the people who watched the video that did that.” I couldn’t believe I just said that. I revealed that I had been reading the comments.

“We didn’t lie.” Calum said. “All we did was tell the world what you told us.”

“You told it in such a way, Mr. Hood,” Mr. Strands said, “That puts the school in a bad light.”

“You’re the one who freaking discriminated against us and is now pissed that we let people know what a jerk you are!” Calum snapped.

“What rules did we break?” I asked.

“You two are no longer welcome to prom, neither together nor separately.”

It was then I lost my cool. “We didn’t break any rules!” I said. “You can’t do that!”

“Please return to class, gentlemen.” He said. “I also would like to inform you your parents will be notified.”

“Go for it.” I said while walking out of his office.

We walked out. Before Calum and I separated, he grabbed my arm and looked me in the eye. I was so frustrated I was almost crying. “He has no right to treat us like that!” I said. “He has no right to treat us any differently just because we have fucking dicks!”

Calum’s facial expression wasn’t sad, or frustrated. It wasn’t even in such a way that would suggest he would try to comfort me. He looked determined. “Tell. Everybody.”
