ETHAN
As soon as I saw Juniper’s name on the piece of paper, I knew Principal Clandestine was up to no good. I told him I’d handle the situation with Juniper, and he ignored my wishes. He wasn’t taking my authority here seriously, and I had to change that. If Beta Burrell didn’t think I was capable of handling rumors at a college, how was I expected to take over the family responsibilities?
On top of that, I promised Juniper I’d protect her from the school. I felt my promise breaking.
I wanted to dismiss my class early and rush over to the principal’s office immediately. I didn’t want Juniper to meet with Charles without me. I didn’t trust him after our last conversation. However, I couldn’t cut my class short just to protect Juniper, and I was sure the principal was banking on me finis
