Mr. Bush’s face was dark with anger. “Nolan, is that any way to talk to a teacher?”
Since the semester started, Mr. Bush had already had to deal with Nolan twice. Now it was the third time and Nolan was completely out of patience. He’d tried being nice, he’d tried apologizing, but Mr. Bush just wouldn’t let up.
“You’re just someone who watches over the dorm. Do you really think you’re a real teacher? Please.” Nolan spat the words, then actually spit at Mr. Bush, droplets flying everywhere.
Lydia narrowed her eyes and stepped right up, landing a hard slap on Nolan’s cheek. “No respect for your elders. You had that coming.”
Nolan barely saw her move, but his face was burning.
“You… you actually hit me?”
If he’d been angry before, now Nolan was totally losing it.
“I’m telling you, you’re all done! You too, Luke! Every last one of you is getting kicked out of this school today!” Nolan yelled, pointing at Lydia, Mr. Bush, and Luke, his hand shaking with rage.
Mr. Bush just stared him down. “I’d love to see you try.”
He turned to the other guys in the room. “You, call your parents now. Tell them to come pick you up.”
Nolan let out a cold laugh. “You really think I’m scared of you?”
He whipped out his phone and called his dad, putting on his best victim act. “Dad, come to the school. Mr. Bush and some others ganged up on me in the dorm. Bring Gina too. Get Mr. Bush and that annoying Luke kicked out for good!”
After a few words with his dad, Nolan hung up and shot a smug look at the three of them. “Just wait. You’re all out of here soon.”
Lydia raised an eyebrow. “You seem pretty sure of yourself.”
Nolan scoffed. “I never take a gamble I’m not sure I’ll win. You started this. Now you’ll pay. It’s all Luke’s fault.”
Lydia gave him a cold smile. “Funny. I have a feeling the one getting kicked out will be you. Or maybe your dad, or that Gina you mentioned.”
Mr. Bush frowned. “He means Ms. Murphy. The principal.”
