I'm Such An Idiot, I Swear. [[open]]

[Audrey Kirk]

Audrey heard her name called over the school's PA system. Audrey Kirk, please report to the Principal's Office. She knew what it was about though. I'm such a fucking idiot. I've never gotten caught, but yesterday I had to go and blow it. Like always, she had skipped class. But she made one mistake. She came back in through the front doors, where everyone could see. She hadn't been paying attention, and upon her return, she was greeted by the vice principal.

Her feet slowly scuffled across the floor as she made her way out of the classroom. She hadn't even bothered to tell the teacher where she was going. She must have heard the announcement. The halls were empty as she navigated her way to the undesired destination. She was on the second floor, so it might take a few minutes.

Walking into the office, she was greeted by the secretary. "Um, I was called down?" Audrey was given a dirty look. "Sign in, please," the secretary said with much displeasure. She signed in and walked over to a chair. "Jeez, I guess someone hasn't gotten laid in a while,'' she mumbled to herself as she sat down.

[Chuck Bordenuk]

"More like never," responded a voice beside Audrey when she had taken a seat. It was from Chuck Bordenuk, someone who was a regular at the principle's office. No not for the good things like those nerds of Livingston Heights were but rather to be punished. Sure, he was never suspended or anything, but his permanent record wasn't the prettiest.

Chuck glanced over at the girl who he had immediately recognized from her voice when she had first spoken out to the secretary. Well, actually, not to be creepy which sometimes Chuck was, he had recognized her just from her footsteps of walking in.

He was immediately confused on why Audrey was here. Chuck hadn't ever seen her at the principle's office during all their years at Livingston Heights, knowing that she had never gotten caught for anything she did, which she admired her for. But, even he had heard of her getting caught while skipping class the other day.

[Audrey Kirk]

Audrey looked over to see none other than Chuck. She had known him well. A grin curved on her lips. "Well, isn't it a surprise to see you here?" she teased. She knew he was always getting called down for one reason or another. It was never any other way. "Did you get lost trying to find the janitor's closet? You must have someone waiting there for you." This teasing was all in good fun, of course. But it reflected the truth. Chuck was a ladies man. All the ladies loved him.

[Chuck Bordenuk]

"Actually, I believe it was the girl's bathroom in J hall," Chuck replied smoothly to her, her teases not affecting his ability to come up with a quick reply. "But, no, I think I got called down here for getting such impressive grades on my report card last year, or it could be for being tardy to many times already this semester...but either way is fine with me."

"But those can't be helped, you know. At least I know how to cover myself when I skip," Chuck continued. A smirk appeared on his face as he looked back over at Audrey.

[Audrey Kirk]

Audrey listened to his reply, finding it amusing. "Impressive grades? Sure." She listened to his next comment, raising an eyebrow as it unfolded. "How many times have I skipped, dear? I think I know how to cover. I was just caught at a bad moment. You must know what that's like." There were always stories going around about him getting caught doing something with someone. She had even been a part of one or two of the stories. But that didn't last very long. Could he ever keep a steady relationship? She wasn't sure he could.

[Chuck Bordenuk]

Chuck shook his head lightly at her reply back, fixing his side bangs to brush perfectly to the side of his forehead as he did. "Of course. Well, have you thought up a story yet to reason why you had skipped one of your important academic classes in which you should be attending to and paying attention in during every school day."

Chuck had lost count the number of times he supposed Audrey had skipped. He remembered back to the times they had skipped their classes together to either hang out in the infamous janitor's closet or even off campus somewhere.

[Audrey Kirk]

"No. But I'll think of something. Maybe I'll just piss the principal off so I can get suspended. I could use the vacation." Audrey never saw out-of-school suspension as much of a punishment. It was like a get-out-of-jail-free card. Or that's how she saw it. School was a prison. It kept her from doing other things, like skating or going to concerts. It was just a waste of her time. "I could go to a few shows, though I don't know what bands are playing in the area at the moment."

[Chuck Bordenuk]

"I would join you. . .if my parents wouldn't kill me, but they would," Chuck replied, remembering how his parents had specifically told him they would most definitely kill him if he did just get suspended or expelled from Livingston Heights. He was allowed to screw up his record as much as he wanted to, but he still was forced to 'attend school every day.' But, that wasn't a problem for him, for he could easily get out of everything he got in trouble for with a reassuring explanation to the principle that he hadn't done anything wrong.

"I haven't kept up with the concert schedules in a few days," Chuck admitted to her. "So, can't help you there." Chuck also went to a lot of concerts to just hang out, but he never really knew what bands were playing when.

[Audrey Kirk]

"That's why I'm glad I don't live with my parents. My aunt and uncle don't care what I do. But my parents would kill me for getting suspended." Audrey's aunt and uncle weren't even like guardians. They let her do mostly everything. "I was just looking at a few, but I forgot the information. Not unusual for me to forget though." Things slipped her mind very easily. But only some things. Names and such were easy to remember.

[Chuck Bordenuk]

"You're just lucky," Chuck replied, wishing her had it 'easy' like Audrey and was not forced to live with his parents. All they did was interrogate him on what he did every day, and make sure that it was acceptable under their family name. So, he usually had to lie to them, even though he figured that they basically figured the truth in the end and for some reason let him get by.

"Well, tell me if you find an interesting one in town, and maybe I'll check it out with you," he responded with a small smile.

[Audrey Kirk]

"Sometimes I'm lucky. Other times I just wish they'd yell at me once or twice." Audrey knew that sounded kinda stupid. Who actually wanted to be yelled at? But for some reason she really wanted to sometimes. "Will do," she replied, hearing a door open. She looked in the direction and the principal was standing there. "Well, isn't it a surprise to see you two here?" What an ass. Audrey hated the principal. He took advantage of his job and acted like a jerk all the time. "I don't know, is it?"

[Chuck Bordenuk]

Chuck glanced up as the principle appeared in front of them. He glared into his eyes as he annoyingly tried to joke with him. All the students knew the principle was a complete jerk, but no one ever tried to take action against him to get him fired.

"Nice to see you too," Chuck greeted his 'good friend.' "And I suppose you'll be wanting to talk to each of us separately or shall we just get this done all at once?" he questioned him in a casual and surprisingly polite done.

[Audrey Kirk]

"I'm sure you two wouldn't mind being dealt with together. After all, it's not like you two are strangers." A smirk appeared on the principal's face. Is anything in this school kept quiet? "And how the hell would you know that? Do you have little spies running around the school?" Audrey instantly had an attitude. But, this guy didn't deserve anything else. She thought he should be beaten to a bloody pulp, but that wouldn't happen anytime soon.

[Chuck Bordenuk]

Chuck stood up from the chair he was previously sitting in. "Alright then..." Chuck replied, trying to ignore the awkward comment the principal had brought up rather than questioning how he would know it like Audrey had. "Why don't we just make this quick? I know we're all on such a busy schedule. Well, at least Audrey and I are." He grinned back at the principal as he waited for him to begin explaining what they had both done wrong and what he would do them.

[Audrey Kirk]

Audrey looked up at him, waiting for his explanation. "Well, Audrey, you skipped class. That automatically earns you a three day out-of-school suspension and two demerits." "Hell, I didn't think it'd be that easy." She principal glared at Audrey, then turned his attention towards Chuck. "Now you. You've been tardy too many times this semester. And, for that, I have to give you an extended day detention, which lasts from the end of school until 5 o'clock." "Sucks for you," Audrey said, not interested int he principal so much. "Enough with the comments, young lady." Audrey looked up at him, the look on her face clearly showing she wasn't very amused.
