Chapter 27: Excluded
The corridor was silent, until one of the girls started screaming since Omak continued to lie on the floor unconsciously.
Although it was unheard of that a scrawny frail high schooler would have the strength to kill someone with one hit, Emily was far from being an ordinary high schooler. In her rage her Malestorm Quotient has reached 168MQ activating Rage and doubling her stats, she had struck Omak without holding back. Willy ran past the gathering crowd and checked out the situation.
His best friend was still in disbelief about what she had just done. Emily just stood there, looking from the hand that had slammed Omak into the wall to the body to her feet. Meanwhile, Willy had noticed the specks of red that started to run down the karateka's head. Examining the carotid artery, he let out a sigh of relief when he felt a pulse.
"Emily, snap out of it! He's okay but we need to get him to the nurse ASAP! I mean he's not okay, but at least he's alive, now help me carry him." Willy called out to his friend, and quickly Emily went to the other side lifting him off the ground as the two walked to the nurse's office.
The crowd just watched them with their mouths wide open, none of them knew what they were supposed to do. Should they go and help the duo? Should they call a teacher? Perhaps an ambulance? In the end the thing those high schoolers chose… was to spread the news about this event to those who had missed it!
Willy and Emily were lucky enough that no teacher was in the hallways, but they encountered someone else. Chloe had just come from the laboratory and was surprised to see three faces she recognised.
"What happened to him?" Chloe asked when she saw the way Omak was carried by the two.
Emily would have loved to explain herself to her, but she honestly didn't know how. The truth was, she had just bashed the skull of her school mate in. Sure, Omak had provoked her, but even Emily saw that she had vastly overreacted. As such, the duo just walked past, leaving Chloe to listen to the rumours that had already begun to spread.
"She slammed him into the wall with just ONE hand!"
"Caspar told me that Josh, who was there, even heard the poor guy's skull crack. Omak might never be able to be the same again!"
"Does anyone know what he told that Snow white to piss her off to that degree?"
"I don't know, I heard the name Chloe get mentioned."
Hearing this, Chloe Smirked. 'Where they seriously fighting over me?'
Eventually, Willy and Emily brought Omak over to the nurse's office. After briefly checking his vitals, the nurse immediately decided that this was something above her paygrade, so she called an ambulance. The high schooler was breathing and she did what she could to keep him in a stable condition, but for some reason he wasn't responding nor did he show any signs of regaining consciousness.
When asked what had happened, Emily mumbled he had been hit in the head, but there wasn't much details after that. The nurse had agreed to let them stay and miss the morning lessons, believing that the three of them were friends.
It didn't take too long for the ambulance to arrive at school. After getting a brief account on what had happened they took Omak away, leaving Willy and Emily behind. Once her patient was out, the nurse left to go and make a report.
What…what happened there, bro?" Willy eventually asked, after making sure the nurse wouldn't come back because she might have forgotten something.
"I-I don't know. Suddenly all this anger, this rage just came over me. The moment he mentioned Salle, images of him hurting my family came flooding into my head. All my senses were telling me that I needed to do everything I could to stop him. Before I even realised what I did, I saw him on the floor." Emily tried to explain as best she could.
Nevertheless, she didn't tell Willy everything. If she was honest, she had actually wanted to hurt Omak more. The only reason she had stopped was because panic had begun to set at the sight of the motionless teenager. Her rational side returned, stopping her from further worsening the situation.
Willy didn't ask her any more questions after that,
eventually, the two of them headed to their class. All eyes quickly turned to the two who had entered the room.
"Emily, you are finally here. There's no need for you to sit down, Headmistress Young wants to see you in her office. I'm sure you know why." Mrs Smith said, after briefly looking at who had disturbed her closs.
It didn't go unnoticed and for some reason, Emily felt pissed off at being ignored like that. Fortunately, her rational side was still in charge, so the high schooler just started walking to the principal's room, leaving Willy to sit down in class.
'What is wrong with me? How come everything is getting on my nerves today? Are people just annoying today, or am I being super sensitive?' Emily wondered.
Above the double door, a plaque read Headmistress Young. She knocked at the door and soon a 'Come in' sounded from the other side. This was the first time she had been called in. Cautiously, Emily opened the door and entered the large office that was big enough to fit even a sofa and coffee machine inside.
"I would love to say that it's good to see you, Miss Harrington, but you should already be aware why you're here." Ironically, Mrs Young's was a beautiful woman with mostly gray hair but the looks of a teenager. The light in her eyes showed that she was actually younger than she looked and that the graying of her hair was mostly due to the stress that came with her position.
"We have already gathered the testimony of the students who saw this morning's event unfold and a few minutes ago, the hospital sent me a report about Mister Denmark's condition. You might be elated to know that your school mate is awake and is doing relatively fine. There are no injuries other than some bruising on the outside of his head and a bump. Luckily after some rest he should be good as new."
"Unfortunately, this doesn't change the fact that his mother is out for blood. She wants something done and I'm in no position to deny her request. We can't exactly allow you to get away scot-free after doing what you did."
"Fortunately, you were never really a troublesome student. While I personally don't understand why a young lady like you would choose to go rogue. It's also your first offense, so I would have usually just let you off with a warning, but due to how severe this case is, I'm afraid I can't do that."
Honestly, Emily had expected to be shouted at the moment she came in. She had been prepared to get a good lecture about how dangerous and wrong her actions had been and how easily she could have ruined Omak's and his own future.
The way Headmistress Young had chosen to talk with her as her equal had made it so she didn't find her annoying, yet the tone in her voice made her fear for the worst about what was going to happen next.
"I expect you to write an apology letter to the Denmark's family, about how deeply you regret your actions. Now I don't care if you really do or not, but for your own sake you should make sure that it at least sounds sincere enough so that Mrs Denmark won't pursue any legal actions against you."
"Apart from that, effective immediately, you're excluded from school for the rest of the week."
"Excluded?!" Emily repeated, standing up from her seat. "You mean, I won't be allowed to come to school for an entire week?!"
