Vincent's Pov: (After stroming from class)

I was fuming. If I find out who printed and passed that crap out there's gonna be hell to pay. Not the quick painful punch kind either. More of a slow social death kind. Unless they're already a loser, then I'll have to get more creative. But I had a few suspicions on who did this.

The psycho sister's (Tara and Falisha) or Robert. They are the only people that gave us any crap. I honestly don't think it's Felisha though. She seemed really sorry for the stunt she pulled. It's not really Tara's style either. She's more of a public scene kind of girl. She'd rather have a crazy screaming match in front of the school so she could be center stage.

No this stunt reeked of Robert. If memory serves correct he did something similar to this freshman year.

I shook my head. I've lost complete respect for him. Instead of being a man and coming at me face to face. He printed up posters slandering mine and Dare's relationship. Jerk. I seriously can't believe that until recently I considered him a friend.

Why the hell was the school letting this go without any repercussions. I growled. I knew exactly why. The principal..... Gonna fix that problem real quick and in a hurry. I'll deal with the person who set this up once I check this little item off my to do list.

I threw open the office door and the secretary startled. I slipped on my fake smile and sauntered to her desk.

"Hello gorgeous' I flirted.

She clucked her tongue. "Get out of here with that malarkey. I'm old enough to be your grandma" Mrs. Jarrod laughed making her 70 year old face light up.

I always joked like that with her. She was a fire cracker of an old lady and there was a few times she's left me shocked. That takes a lot.

Like when I talked her into letting me mess with my schedule so I'd have the same classes as Dare. She'd teased me that if only I'd been ten years older she'd have me rockin her walker.

"Pshh my grandma never looked as hot as you!" I cooed shooting a wink at her.

She rolled her eyes but blushed. "Let me guess... Sweet talkin me so you must need something. What's it this time pretty boy?"

"Awe you caught me out. I need to make an announcement for football."

She raised her eyebrow and leaned forward. "I may have been born at night. But it wasn't last night. Those sports announcements are made first thing in the morning."

She narrowed her eyes. "This bout that nasty business with the posters? Never mind, I can tell there's gonna be trouble."

"You want the truth or the story you're gonna give the principal?" I asked grinning when she rolled her eyes.

"Neither I'm going to take a walk. Doctor says, gotta walk every few hours to keep these old bones workin right." She said getting up.

She patted my arm. "No curse words. I don't wantcha gettin suspended. Try not to be so hard on the idiot that did this. People are stupid especially teenagers. Be prepared for Mr. Henry flipping his wig. You know he isn't supportive of, well you know. But I suspect you already know he's gonna freak and you've probably got a plan to pay him back for overlooking the issue here."

I waited until she closed the office door and went to the PA system. I flicked it on and hit the All button on. The entire school was gonna hear this. I grabbed the mic, kicked back on Mrs Jarrod's chair and made myself comfortable. Let the show begin.......

"Attention! Attention all students and faculty. Yo this is Vincent Ford coming to ya live from the comfy confines of the front office! It's come to my attention that fliers have been floating around campus insinuating that Dereck and I are engaged in a violent relationship. I'd like to take a moment to clear that up..... We are in fact violent. Violently in love. Haha okay all kidding aside. That flier is crap. Obviously we were in a fight last night but not with each other. In fact the only reason Dereck's hurt is that stubborn idiot took a few hits that were meant for me."

"The truth is that entire fiasco was partially the result of an intolerant, ignorant homophobic prick and partially my fault for pushing his buttons and turning everything into a joke. What can I say other then my dad's a jerk-off and I thoroughly enjoying pissing him off."

"As I was saying that flier was crap. I have a couple of serious things to point out though. You should all be ashamed of yourselves if you believed it and didn't do anything. Come on people! Domestic Violence is more prevalent in our society then we like to think. For example the pretty black and purple matching bruises Dare and I have are a result of a family dispute. Fortunately we fought back and don't even live with that person. That's not always the case, many children and spouses suffer in silence. So I think it's time to give them a voice! Domestic Violence is a serious issue and if you or somebody you know is a victim of it. It's time to speak out. Don't sit back and passively take it. No matter what you think, you do not deserve to be someones punching bag. Especially someone that is supposed to love and protect you."

I cleared my throat and continued. "Next item on the agenda. Obviously whoever printed that crap up didn't know his head from his ass...prin. Next time you want to 'quote' religion you might want to brush up with a quick once over of the bible and probably more accurate statistics if your gonna try and pass them off as fact. The gay community has no more of a tendency towards violence then the hetero community. Nor does it specifically say anywhere in there that gays are going to hell. I worry more for any person who preaches hate or violence. What happen to love thy neighbor? Religion is about bringing us all together and giving us all something to believe in. It's about peace, love and doing right by human kind. A least that's my take on it."

I drummed my finger's and took a second to reign my temper in. My plan resolved around me keeping my cool. I glanced at the clock and estimated less then a minute before Principle Henry came storming in.

"Enough of the 'after school special' junk. I'm a nice guy and as such I just wanted to let the person that made that up know that it's on and I wish you luck. You're gonna need it!"

"On another note. Drugs and alcohol are bad, work hard but play harder, study now so you can coast through college and get a job that leaves ya bankin, eat your vegetables and practice abstinence. But if you are or think you might become sexually active, practice safe sex. Make like a latex and glove your ding a ling. No glove no love! You don't want to catch something that bleach wont wash off. This is your supremely sexy head over heels in love with Dare, leader speaking and that is all. Carry on with your classes."

I rushed out as Principle Henry yanked the mic from my hand and slammed it down.

"What the hell is going on here?" He shouted at me. I shrugged. "I was making an announcement about football practice." I said innocently.

"No you weren't. Don't play stupid with me Ford. You were ranting about some silly poster and family issues." He fumed with his hands on his hips.

I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't playing stupid. You asked a stupid question so I gave a stupid answer. If your question wasn't stupid the answer wouldn't be either. Cause stupid is as stupid does." I quoted the last bit from Forest Gump. I love that movie.

His face turned red. "Vincent I don't care what your issue is, I wont tolerate you using my equipment as some"

I laughed and waved my hand dismissively. "Sir, sexually harassing a student is illegal. I'm not going anywhere near your 'equipment' Plus what would your wife think." I laughed when his mouth dropped open.

He yelled "I was not implying" I spoke over the rest of his sentence.

"That Domestic Violence awareness was unimportant. Or that slander is acceptable? Gay bashing's okay? I know sir I didn't think you meant any of those things. Which is why I took the opportunity to make the announcement for you. No need to thank me. Just being an upright citizen and doing my civic duty."

He slammed his fist down on the counter. "Stop being a smart ass Mr Ford. You know very well that I was talking about you using the school's sound system to make petty personal threats over a flier that was clearly supposed to be a joke. Jeez! You gays and your sensitivity. Don't get your girlie panties all in a knot. That's the problem with you people. Cant take a joke, have to start crying about everything like a damn girl. Gotta make every thing a huge deal. The world would be a better place without the lot of ya. I wont tolerate you making a mockery out of this school" He thundered.

I kicked my feet off the desk and stood up. "First I'm stupid now I'm a smart ass. You should really get your insults straight sir. FYI I wasn't making a petty threat. I was kindly giving a heads up because Im a nice guy and when I ruin someone I like to give them the benefit of seeing it coming. AND those posters weren't a joke! They were a form of verbal abuse otherwise known as bullying. AND even if it was meant as a joke, domestic violence isn't a laughing matter! The only joke I see around here is you. You're a worthless Principal. Always have been but it's never been more clear just how worthless you were at your job then today. Those were going around all afternoon and obviously you knew about them yet did nothing. What kind of example are you setting for the students and the rest of the faculty? Have you even tried figuring out who did them or why?" I yelled back at him.

I could tell by his face that he hadn't. It's no secret that he's a homophobic prick.

"It would have been different if it had been a poster about me and a chick right? Then you would have given a damn. But because of your personal beliefs, which are asinine by the way, you turned a blind eye. I shouldn't be offended, are you serious? Are you really that thick or that much of a homophobic ass hat? Wouldn't you be pissed if someone implied you were abusing your wife? Or that you were going to hell simply because you loved your wife . Hell maybe you even think it's true right. Because gays have no morals, so whats to say we don't all go home and knock each other around right? All you did by overlooking this was reiterate that gay students can't expect the same level of security and support as the rest of the school's population. Tell me sir, where does it cross the line? Would someone need to be physical before you stepped in and actually did your job? Or would it still be a harmless joke that a gay student was simply being a crybaby about? Oh and by the way just because some of us, prefer a pole to a hole, doesn't mean we're girlie or wear girl panties. In fact today I'm going commando."

"You're suspended! " He screamed. I shrugged.

"Fine that'll just give me extra time to talk to the school board about your lack of efficiency as head of this school. Not to mention the unprofessional way you spoke to a student and your bias's against your homosexual students. By the time my three day vacation is up you'll be packing that desk up. I'll make sure to help you load the boxes sir. Since I'm such a nice guy. Oh and by the way, the PA is still on!" I shot him the peace sign and walked out.

Okay that part was completed. I walked into class and grabbed my stuff. Dereck's face was red. He looked up at me and cracked up.

"Epic." He muttered shaking his head.

I shrugged. "No just fed up with the bullshit babe. Epic would have been slapping that self righteous prick up the side of his head."
