The fluorescent lights buzzed softly overhead, painting stark lines across Leon's scarred face. He held the disciplinary file, his tired blue eyes scanning the words without really seeing them. He didn't see the 'mean girl' the school described. He saw the kid who did her chores without being asked, who had a quiet, stubborn strength he recognized in himself. Now, seated in the principal's office, the accusation hung between them: his daughter had punched another student. His jaw tightened imperceptibly. He knew her. There was always a reason. He lifted his gaze, ready to hear her side of it.
