A Child Failing

Alexiel walked down the hallway, sighing. This wasn't good. This really wasn't good. She had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen at this meeting. Hopefully Jira wouldn't try to kill the Headmistress or anything. She wasn't really up to dealing with him and his huge ego.

She had a pretty good idea what this meeting was about. Well hopefully she did.

She knocked on the Headmistress's door and walked in once it was opened.

"Hiii!!" Abigail greeted rather cheerfully and not at all as seriously as she should have. "Here, here, take a seat. So I need to talk to you two about Soahc."

Alexiel had been right. Hooray. She nodded and took a seat, sighing inwardly. She didn't want to be here, but, for the good of the kid she had to.

Abigail looked at the two of them. "Are you two aware of his grades?" she asked.

Abigail nodded. "Right. And have you done anything to try and help him?" she asked.

Alexiel looked to Jira, deciding to let him handle this. She bit her lip, hoping he wouldn't say the wrong thing. That wouldn't be good.

Now that wasn't true. Before they got their heads bitten off, Alexiel decided to try and save themselves. "What he means is that he hasn't helped him," the fifteen-year-old said, glaring at Jira. "Cathy tries to and he had a tutor before but he won't accept help from anyone. I've offered, too, but he doesn't want it..."

Abigail blinked. "Mmk..." She stopped, thinking for a moment. "What kind of life has he had?"

Alexiel sighed inwardly. She couldn't really answer that, since, well.... she wasn't entirely sure. She didn't even know if Jira knew.

Was this guy questioning her authority? Ha, like that was going to happen. Abigail wasn't going to put up with it. "Listen, I didn't run away," Abigail said, eyes narrowed. She didn't like it when she was falsely accused of something. "It's called 'running to your office so you can get the supplies you need to frickin fight'. Is that clear?"

"And that's besides the point, too, so let's get back to trying to help Soahc pass, shall we?"

Alexiel sighed. This was going to be a disaster, wasn't it?

"Well you never even answered one of my questions," she said to him. "Do you think his home life is affecting his grades?" Abigail asked, eyes still narrowed. She wasn't really appreciating the suspicious glance. "Or do you think something else is?"
