"Anna, what happened?" Nathalia asked as soon as she saw Anna standing outside of the Principal's Office. Truthfully, Nathalia is not that worried about Josh, she's more worried about the person who Josh showed his anger on.
The last time Josh was called into the Principal's Office was when they were at elementary school, he punched that kid's face and ended up needing to fix its nose. Though, Nathalia doesn't feel bad to that kid because that kid is a bully and she thinks that he deserves it.
She is only worried because she has no idea who is the other party involved in the matter and she has no idea what really happened. 'I'll have my conclusion after knowing what happened.'
Before Anna could reply back to Nathalia's question, Josh came out of the Principal's Office as if nothing happened. Josh stared at Nathala and said, "I got suspended." He said it as if he doesn't give any care about it.
"What? Why?" Nathalia curiously asked. She is surprised that Josh got himself suspended, even Aaron is surprised by that sudden news. Never in a million years, he could have thought that Josh will get himself suspended.
"For what reason did that happened to you?" Right after Aaron asked that question, two figures came out of the Principal's office. Aaron stared at the person whose face has become swollen for some reason, and then a realization came in his mind. "I see. So that's what happened."
"W-what happened?" Since her back is facing the door, Nathalia did not notice that Elizabeth and the school nurse is behind her. Anna got her attention and pointed out the two figures behind her. She turned around and is in shock to see Elizabeth's face. "Oh. You look pretty today Elizabeth."
"Pretty? That's ridiculous, Nathalia." Anna spoke. "She looks amazingly beautiful. Saying that she's pretty is not enough to compliment her stunning beauty." The three boys who heard Anna's comment turned around so that no one could see the uncontrollable smile on their faces.
Even the school nurse almost burst out her laughter because of that comment. It was so unexpected that she didn't know if she should scold Anna or go along with that joke.
Realizing what Anna is aiming at, Nathalia decided to play along. Her worry about Josh's victim has vanished upon finding out that who it is. "My bad. I'm so sorry, Elizabeth."
"M-Miss, they're bullying me." Elizabeth is putting another show of her crocodile tears. At this moment, she really wants the school nurse to be on her side, she wants to show her that Nathalia and her friends are bullying her.
Even without anyone telling her what is happening between them, the school nurse knows that there is bad blood between Nathalia's group and Elizabeth. It may seem like it's unfair since Nathalia has four people in her group while Elizabeth has none. But from the school nurse's point of view, there is no hint of things between them is unfair.
To her, it seems like the one that is at fault in everything that is happening is Elizabeth. As much as she wants to speak up her opinion about it, she couldn't because none of these is her business. She is just a school nurse of Crystal High and nothing else.
"Miss Elizabeth, if I were you I won't pay too much attention to them, and better yet, I won't even talk to them." She said to Elizabeth in a serious tone. The only advice she could think of for Elizabeth is that Elizabeth should not add more trouble to Nathalia and the others. The longer she does that the more painful it is when Nathalia bites back.
"B-but," Nathalia wanted to say more to her defense, but the school nurse cut her off right away.
"Let's go, Miss Elizabeth. I still have to make a call to your parents to pick you up."
In some way, Elizabeth feels that the school nurse is taking Nathalia's side and with that, her rage is rising up again. Everywhere she goes, it's either she sees things that remind her of Nathalia or sees people defending Nathalia. No matter what she does, she can't seem to escape Nathalia.
The moment, the school nurse and Elizabeth are out of their line of sight, Josh started to walk away.
"Where are you going? You haven't told me everything that happened to you earlier." After seeing Elizabeth's swollen face, Nathalia is even more curious about what happened while she and Aaron took care of some business.
"I'm going home. Since I'm suspended, Mrs. Brown said that I have a choice to go home, and of course, I chose to go home." Josh spoke in a matter of fact tone. "As for what happened, you can ask Anna or Zen. They both saw what happened."
Josh would love to share what happened earlier, but he is not in the mood at the moment. Right now, all he wants is to go home and stay on his bed.
"I don't think that a good idea," Zen spoke. "I'm pretty sure that by now, your mother already knows the news about you getting suspended from school. And you know very well that even though your mother is an angel, she can be a devil when she's angry." Zen is trying to make Josh remember the fact that Agatha Visser is a scary demon on the inside. And out of all the mothers that Zen knows, Josh's mother is the most strict one.
The moment Josh heard that his steps halt. Josh is right, by now, his mother already knows what he did and by the time he gets home, the first thing he gets is his mother's anger and interrogation.
"Then, I'll just go somewhere other than my house. I really want to relax." Josh knows that either way he will still hear his mother's mouth, but for at least a few hours, he wants to stay in a bed and get some sleep.
"Yeah. Sure. Good luck." Zen plainly said to him. Knowing what kind of a doting parent Josh's mother is, Zen is sure that Josh's wish to sleep wherever he is going to is not going to work out because Josh's mother won't stop until she makes Josh gets a piece of her scolding.

"That happened? Gosh. I wish I was there to her get a slap." Nathalia is now regretting taking part in Aaron's place. If she didn't go along with Aaron, she could have seen Josh slap Elizabeth's face. 'It must have been so satisfying.'
"You could, some students took a video of what happened." Before the slapping began, some students took notice that something is going on and because of that, they took advantage of it and took footage of them.
"Is that so? Then please don't disturb me for a moment and let me hack into their phones." Since no one posted anything about what happened earlier on the school website, Nathalia decided to do matters on her own.
"Elizabeth is really fearless. Does she have no idea that Josh can be that scary at times?" Aaron asked. Truthfully, he also has no idea what kind of a person Josh is when he is extremely angry. But even so, he can tell that it's not a good thing to see that kind of side from Josh.
"No. That was the first time she saw Josh got that angry." Back when they were still little, Josh was unsociable towards Elizabeth, it was considered that Josh didn't hate nor like Elizabeth. Even after the incident, he never had the change to show any anger towards Elizabeth back then.
"It must have surprised her," Anna commented. Even she was surprised to see how much Josh wants to kill Elizabeth at that moment.
At the organization, she kept hearing that Josh's father, Mike, can be extremely scary at times. 'It seems like the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, huh.' Anna inwardly commented.
"Seriously?! How could I missed this moment!" Nathalia suddenly shouted, and she then glared fiercely at Aaron. "This is all your fault. You should have taken me out of plan." Although Ilana's face was very satisfying in the end, she still can't help but feel disappointed that she wasn't able to see what happened to Elizabeth personally.
"Please. You willingly agreed to take part in that plan, and besides, we both had no idea that this is all happening." Aaron knows that Nathalia is only complaining that she didn't get the chance to see the slapping scene personally and she doesn't really blame him, but for some reason, it upsets him that Nathalia thinks about Josh more than him.
"Don't get too upset, Nat. You still have tomorrow, you have the chance to slap her with your own hands. That would be more satisfying, don't you think so?" Zen said with a smile. Tomorrow is the day that they all are waiting for. The day for Elizabeth to have a taste of her own medicine. "The only sad part is that Josh won't be able to see your plan go smoothly personally."
