"That's atrocious," Derek commented. "No wonder Kat usually seems so out of
sorts about going to school." He raised a curious eyebrow at her.
"Detention? You? What on earth for?"
She settled against him, tone quiet as she remembered "A girl named Tracy
came to practice one day.. volleyball. Her mother had just spent her life
savings on some dental and mouth work she needed and a.. ermm.. "Julia
wanted to say bitch but settled for "girl named Muffy of all things for some
reason pin pointed her and had a bunch of her snotty friends jump Tracy in
the locker room. Teacher wouldn't do anything about it because Tracy's
mother bought the gym, so I did."
There was obvious disgust in her voice as she recalled what had happened but
she kept her tone low "I didn't hit her.. but seeing a bat coming at you
does tend to scare one's self into running... and she ran straight for the
principal's office. I ended up getting detention and later, some
satisfaction that weekend."
She looked at Derek, eyes twinkling "That brother of mine knew how to make
the grossest stuff for wrapping someone's house... it took Muffy all weekend
to clean it up after her parents found out why their daughter's sportscar
got wrapped and some money out of her savings account to fix what she had
damaged in Tracy's mouth and I apologized to Muffy's parents for my temper.
Her father thanked me for knocking her down a peg or two."
