"What do you mean I can't retake the exam? I told you I had an emergency to deal with last Friday!" Faye's voice echoed throughout the principal's office.
Inside the office sat Principal Silviana. She sat perfectly still behind the furniture, her expression smooth and cold as she looked up at the shouting omega.
Faye had already known this was going to happen. The moment she had checked her phone at the hotel, a sinking feeling had settled deep into her stomach.
Silviana was going to use it against her. She had been waiting for a single slip up, a single mistake to trap her in a corner, and missing the final exams was the perfect weapon.
"The exam was on Friday, and you didn't show up. There was no letter of absence and no notification explaining why you weren't available," Silviana replied calmly. She adjusted a neat stack of papers on her desk, her voice flat and smooth, completely unbothered by Faye's rising temper.
