"If I catch you leaving campus again, I will not hesitate to write you up. Maybe I'll even give you detention." Detention
The word echoed in Elisabeth's head as she sat at lunch, picking at the sandwich she had made herself in the morning. She had missed early morning class due to being in the principal's office, a visit she had originally thought would be some standard congratulations for kicking butt on the soccer team. And while the visit had started out as such, it quickly took a turn for the worst when the principal brought up camera footage of her jumping the school yard fence during lunch. Never before had Elise truly felt her heart drop, watching the very clear image of herself. She had immediately thought the worst, figuring she would expelled, suspending, or even worse, arrested. She could only imagine the look on her father's face as she came home with such news. He'd probably be disappointed more than anything. She'd never seen him angry, or even raise his voice. The disappointment is something she tried her hardest to avoid at all costs, knowing it would break her own heart to see her father's broken in such a way.
Much to her relief though, she had been overreacting. She got off without so much as a write up, receiving only a warning to not do it again. The principal had told her it was because of her spotless record and her being the star of the soccer team, the latter of which left Elisabeth feeling guilty. Sure she was thankful of being let off easy, but it didn't seem fair that she got off easy for something so trivial as being good at sports. Then again, she knew better than to argue the fact. She had simply nodded and said thanked him, taking full advantage of his good graces. At least her father wouldn't find out she had been cutting classes.
And so as Elise sat lost in thought, it took her a moment to realize that she had been spoke to. She slowly picked up her head, eyebrow raised. Her brows furrowed as she eyed up the blonde, taking note of the way her eyes darted around the lunch room. She was nervous to be speaking to Elise, or maybe something else was on her mind? Either way, it wasn't any of Elise's business.
"Er... No. The seats not taken," she says nonchalantly with a shrug.
