A Long Slepping's

A troubled child

Today was a very difficult day for Linda, she was called by Mister Bill because of the Amber case involving her, then she got another call a second time. This time he did not know what other problems that made him have to come to the cold and boring principal's room.

"Linda you were told to go to the principal's room!" report highly disciplined class leaders.

"What else? Shit! " said Linda in her heart.

Linda stepped up with a huff, her heart already cursing at all the things that upset her today. He sat down again while staring flatly at Mister Bill.

"Linda, you didn't get away with Amber's disappearance before she was found, because witnesses said you were the last person she was with" Mister Bill said. Linda's fed up with being linked to that problem.

"Do you have any evidence that I kidnapped her? " Task Linda while looking at the headmaster with a cold look.

"No, but the police are looking for evidence, I'm not saying that you kidnapped her, I'm just saying that you have potential as a suspect because you were with the victim last time. It may sound unfair to you, but it's also unfair to the parents of the victims. You just have to wait for the next news, whether the police need to interrogate you or not."

"One more thing, I heard you hurt Tommy? You fought with him to make him have to be taken to the hospital? Is that true? " Task Mister Bill, ask a question he already knows the answer to, and act as if he doesn't know the truth.

"Yes, that's right. I was just trying to defend myself because he kept bothering me, I was uncomfortable and fighting him" Linda replied without rambling.

"Do you know that your actions can get you suspended? You also have to be responsible for financing the treatment."

"I understand, but... "

Linda's speech was cut off by the sound of the door opening and the two parents entering without excuse.

"You know what you did to my son? I don't accept it, just because you're a girl doesn't mean I understand you. You've hurt my son and you have to take responsibility" said a mother with uncontrolled emotions, she is Tommy's mother who is furious that she knows her son is injured and has to be taken to the hospital.

"The first mother's son who disturbed me, I think my reply was worth the behavior of the mother's son who said rude, he called me psyco. Does this mother think it's my fault?" Linda replied without giving a frightened expression.

"My son said rudely, but instead of behaving rudely like you, you must be a bad girl, you know that? " Tammy's mother grew furious that Linda acted as if she was innocent at all.

"I don't care if you call me that, i'm a bad girl? yes, I am. are you satisfied? "

"Oh, god! "

Before the dispute became more tense, a mother with the appearance of an office blazer entered the office of the principal's room. His forehead was sweating a little because maybe he was running so as not to be late.

"I'm really sorry, Mrs. Tina's. Maybe my son has crossed the line for getting your son in the hospital. After hearing the information from Mister Bill, I felt very guilty. Again, please do not make my child bear a severe punishment, I can afford to pay your child's medical expenses as long as you forgive my child's mistakes" Linda's mother pleaded with her eyes.

"No mom, Tommy deserves to be hurt! He's been telling me!" Linda protested while raising her voice even though the look on her face did not change, it remained cold.

"Mom knows baby, it's not time to feel selfish, we have to take responsibility. Let others say rudely but never reply with something more rude, mom has already taught you that, why have you never listened to mom?"

"Okay, whatever, I'm done, I have to go, mom. " Linda replied without arguing anymore, she went outside without letting anyone hold her in the room.

"Linda, wait, you haven't apologized!" Shouted his mother who was not touched at all.

"Look, the troubled boy is coming, upss... " The words of a child with a big mouth or grande bouche, aka talk a lot.

"Ouh, what a pity for him, has a lot of problems. He just broke Tommy's hand bone, can you imagine? Ouch, must be very sick, ." follow up another kid with an itchy mouth.

"Shut up your freaking mouth! " Linda said as she looked up at the group of children who were talking about it.

Negative stigma about Linda is increasingly emerging, especially because of the unsolved Amber case and the case of Tommy who rushed one school. Everyone thinks Linda is a psychopath because she has made Tommy known as a school thug out in the hospital.

Of course Camilla and Alex are worried about Linda's mentality because many children are starting to hate her. However, only Camilla and Alex remain loyal and believe that Linda is not the perpetrator of Amber's crimes.

"Linda's scary, you know the rumors about her? she's a devil" whispered the child from another class who knew the rumors about Linda.

"Heart if he hears, it could break your bones too" his best friend warned.

Linda clogs her ears with the sound of loud volume rap music so that she cannot hear the foul speech of those people. He continued to walk in the corridors of the school, even though people were staring at him.

"Alex, the rumors are getting worse, right? Is she gonna be okay?" Camilla asked who was getting anxious.

"I'm sure he can deal with this problem, just look at his face very calmly," Alex said as he watched Linda's very relaxed look on her face as she walked.

"He's always been like that, I can't guess his feelings because his face is so flat."

"Yes, you're right. Oh, but where's Joshua?" Alex just remembered that he hasn't seen Joshua since he and Camilla left class.

"Can you stop talking about it? I'm still upset with him. " Camilla complains while blasting her lips.

"Because of what he said in the cafeteria? c'mon, he's just kidding."

"Whatchu mean? He's clearly saying that Linda's selfish, she's outrageous. "

"But you've lost her a long time, and then when she comes back why don't you ignore her?"

"What do you expect Alex to do? I should always understand him even if he makes a mistake?"

"No, but you can talk about your problems and solve them well. "

"Yes, but not now because I'm still angry, obviously? " Camilla walked quickly because she did not want to listen to Alex's advice anymore.
