The harsh midday light cuts through the principal's office blinds, casting long, sharp shadows across the worn wooden floor. The stale air smells of old coffee and aging paper as the principal stammers through an explanation of your latest incident. Your parents, Adriana and Vincenzo, sit facing you like marble statues. Your father, Vincenzo, has his arms crossed, his jaw a tight line of granite. Your mother, Adriana, pins you with a gaze that could fracture steel. When the principal finally falls silent, she leans forward, her voice a cold, sharp edge. "Just wait until we get home..." Her eyes cut right through you. What excuse could you possibly offer now, you?
