The following was written for a challenge called #SixSentenceStory over at Denise’s.
The prompt word for this week is “Safety”.
Jane sat and stared in disbelief at the baggie that principal Taylor was holding up.
“I can’t believe that this is pot let alone pot that belongs to my son, he’s always saying that the kids he hangs around with would never ever smoke weed and if by chance it is his, which I doubt, why on Earth would he have it in his locker.”
“Pete has always been such a good student that obeys all the rules, and that is why I wanted to talk with you first to see if we can get this all sorted out. I am required to report this to the authorities but that can wait for a bit.”
“Have you talked to my son yet to hear what he has to say?”
“No, I haven’t yet as I feel safe to say that I believe there is more to this than we know.”
To be continued …

and, to follow on Larry’s comment, and if Pete isn’t guilty of anything but being young, he has no clue how devious adults can be, especially when they think they are defending rules.
(Did someone say, ‘Engaging SIx!’? totally! )

Unfortunately the kid no one suspects could easily be just as guilty as the worst of them, even if it’s only because of a stupid first time mistake
