Chapter 7

“Nice going, dick,” a boy who had been on the dance committee with Henrik said, punching him hard in the shoulder as they passed in the hallway. He was heading for the office where students only went if they were really in trouble. Mrs. Blair's classroom was usually a neutral setting for things branded a typical miscommunication, where they tried to negotiate the goals of the school with the goals of the pupil. Mrs. Blair could be frighteningly convincing. But now he was heading somewhere he had never been before – the office.

He pushed his way through the door reluctantly, stuffing his hands deep in his pockets and feeling much like he had as a young boy when he was in deep trouble. The receptionist glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. She must have read his tabloids; but she didn't seem very impressed with him.

“I'm -”

“I know who you are,” she said, lowering her eyes to her desk and scribbling. “Have a seat. They'll get you when they're ready.”

He chose to stand, until finally the director of Spencer Dalton, Dr. James, came out and nodded at him.

“Let's go, lad,” he said with a firm pat on Henrik's shoulder.

He was expecting a much more cordial meeting, maybe if he was alone with Dr. James, who never seemed to have a mean bone in his body, but when he was led through the office doors he scowled. Fiona was standing there, her eyes red-rimmed and her face fiery. Inside was also Mrs. Blair, and someone he had never seen before.

“My name is Kate Lyle,” she said, sticking her hand out sternly. “I'm in charge of making sure that Spencer Dalton is meeting the individual needs of all its pupils. I'm afraid there was a disruption. I have been receiving calls since approximately 2PM from angry parents, furious at you and Ms. Blake. I've promised them a solution to this issue.”

“Ms. Blake,” Dr. James said. “It seems the parents are having a difficult time with the way you disciplined Henrik. They found it unfair to be forced to cease activities because of one person's inability to cooperate. Ms. Lyle and I have both been receiving messages, one of which contained a video of the incident.”

Dr. James played the video for Ms. Lyle and Mrs. Blair, and Fiona's icy blue eyes squeezed closed with shame and embarrassment. Henrik gazed at her from across the room, suddenly feeling very sheepish and guilty for not cooperating with her. She wasn't a teacher at Spencer Dalton. She'd only been there to try to keep them on track and allow them to continue having fun.

“Ms. Blake, I am aware of your emotional distress at this time,” Mrs. Blair said sternly, “but this is unacceptable. Did my training teach you nothing?”

Fiona's voice wavered.

“I'm sorry,” she said.

Henrik, too, felt sorry and shifted uncomfortably.

“Mrs. Blair, that was my fault. I was messing with her,” Henrik said. He felt terrible for putting Fiona in this situation, where she might even lose her job.
