If I Say What I Think I'll Be Suspended Novels & Stories

ELI P.O.V We left the clinic together, Patricia heading back to her office to monitor the police investigation while Mason and I sat in his car in the parking lot, both of us trying to process everything that had just happened. "I'm suspended," I said, the reality sinking in. "Probably going to lose my license. My career is over." "You don't know that," Mason said. "The ethics committee might go easy on you. Dr. Chen seemed to think they would."

he looked at me, "Your father is the new sheriff of the town; you should set an example." "Penny started the fight. I just defended myself." "Of course not, Miss Principal. You've known me all my life; you know I would never do anything so vulgar." "I don't know who to believe anymore, Penny. I'm afraid I'll have to suspend you both for two days. The four of you. Let these days off serve you to think better about your actions. I'll inform your parents. You may leave."

“I've heard all I needed to hear. You're going to get punished for your wrongdoing so it serves as an example to the rest.” At this point, I felt like getting up and pushing him off his chair. “Are you firing me?” “No,” he shook his head and I felt like a heavy burden just got lifted off my shoulder. “You're suspended for a two weeks. No work. No pay.” I felt that two weeks was too long but I didn't say anything fearing he'd actually fire me. I didn’t care about money but not being able to work for all that time scared me because I knew I’d get tired of doing nothing in the first week. The other thing was that my job might get taken permanently so I'd be living in fear. Anything was better t

My mouth goes dry. “Um” “Well, do you?” Mom chips in, suddenly coming out of the shock. “The thing is, well , yes” He exhales. “You'll definitely have to be punished for this, I'm sorry Ivy but this is a big offense” he says. I slouch further as I ball my hands into fists. “But because you've been a good student up until now, I'll let you go with two weeks worth of suspension” “Suspension?” I ask “But it wasn't me!”

"She....you refused me...I thought it was because of her....I.....just didn't want her to take you away from me..." Her teary eyes making his burn in hate instead of melting in regret. Running his hand through his hair, he sighed. "Are you girls delusional or what? You think you fuck*** own me! You can put your claim on me !!" "No...no your maj" "Suspension" Everyone's eyes went wide in shock as they looked up to see him. His words final with no loose ends. "You all are suspended from the college this second onwards. There is no need for any of you to come tomorrow"

I could feel it in the air—the tension, the judgment, the quiet disappointment. Coach didn’t even yell. That’s how I knew it was bad. He just stood there, arms crossed, staring at me like he didn’t recognize who I was anymore. “You’re done,” he said finally, his voice low and controlled. The words didn’t sink in at first. “What?” I asked, my voice rough. “Both of you,” he clarified. “Are suspended and it's effective immediately.” The room went still. “You can’t be serious,” I snapped, even though I knew he was.

I grabbed my stuff and burst out the doors to the office. Someone's hand intertwined with mine, and I felt warm peppermint breath against my face before I felt those gloriously soft lips peck my cheek. "What did she say?" His voice washed over everything I was thinking and it melted away all of my fear. "That my behavior has been uncalled for, that I'm suspended for the rest of the week, and I need to address my anger." I acted like it was no big deal. I mean he probably gets suspended all the time, but deep down I was beyond nervous about the suspension going on my record and her calling me mom. I really should have thought about that when I decided to beat Jessica up for the second time.

"She and your stepfather are on their way back from their business trip. They will be here tomorrow morning for a meeting to discuss your behavior." My world was crumbling around me. "Please," I begged. "Please do not do this. I cannot be suspended. My mother will send me away. She threatened to send me back to my father if I got into trouble at school." Principal Harrison's expression softened slightly, but his resolve did not waver. "I am sorry, Miss Richmond. But the decision has been made. You, Mr. Stone, Mr. Richmond, and Miss Williams are all suspended for one week. You may collect your belongings and leave campus immediately."

What was I being accused of? "What is the matter, Jane?" Philip asked me, and I sat on the floor and began to read aloud. "It has come to our notice that you may have personal issues that you need to deal with. Your ill-treatment, rudeness and lack of patience towards our patients have put us in a position where we have to reevaluate your value. This is a letter of suspension pending the decision of the clinic's board on whether to retain your services or not. Your official suspension letter would be mailed to your registered address for documentation purposes. We are sorry for the inconvenience this might cause, and we promise prompt response and decision to enable both parties to move on."

“Does it include spreading gossip all around your work environment?” “No sir.” “Does it involve confronting your superior with unverified nonsense?” “No sir.” “Does it include calling anyone in this company a whore?” He was getting even angrier, I could tell from the way he spoke. “No sir.” She was shaking now, quite evidently. And I was beginning to feel sorry for her. She only did what she thought was right. He nodded, as though that was all he wanted to hear. Then he spoke again. “You are suspended.” I gasped before I could stop myself. That was taking it too far. Staff were only going to talk more. This wasn’t him doing damage control.
