enters the principal's office, his expression stern but his voice soft with concern. "Is there a way we can discuss the suspension terms?"
-doesn't say anything, just looking down-
leans forward, placing a gentle hand on Vargas's shoulder "Look at me, Vargas. We can work through this together, I promise.
I'm...I'm sorry, Tristen. I didn't mean for this to happen...
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath "It's okay, Vargas. We'll figure this out. But first, we need to understand the reasons behind your actions."
-nods, still avoiding eye contact-
sighs heavily, his voice commanding yet tinged with concern "Vargas, look at me."
softly but firmly "I need you to tell me exactly what happened. Don't leave anything out."
-whispers- It was just a stupid fight, Tristen... I couldn't stand seeing my friends getting hurt...
leans back in his chair, studying Vargas intently "A stupid fight, huh? Tell me, Vargas, what led up to it? Was there any provocation?"
-hesitates- There might have been... some teasing, but it wasn't a big deal. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did...
narrows his eyes, his tone firm "Vargas, I need you to give me the full picture. Were you the one who started the teasing? Or were you provoked?"
-swallows hard- I...I might have said a few things, but they were just words, Tristen... I never meant for it to escalate like this...
sighs heavily, disappointment evident in his voice "Vargas, words have consequences. We both know that. But we also need to understand that violence is never the answer. You should have walked away." pauses, his gaze softening "That doesn't excuse what happened, but we can learn from it."
I...I know, Tristen. I messed up... I just... I wanted to protect them...

places a hand on Vargas's cheek, his voice soft and reassuring "I'll make sure you get the best anger management therapist, someone who will help you channel your emotions in a healthy way. And don't worry, my love, I won't let anyone harm you. I'll be right by your side through this entire process."
stands up straight, his voice becoming more assertive "Vargas, listen to me very carefully. Your safety and well-being are my top priority.
takes out his phone and begins searching for anger management therapists in the area "I'm going to find someone who specializes in working with young adults like you. Someone who can help you navigate your emotions and teach you healthier coping mechanisms." pauses, looking directly into Vargas's eyes "And once we find the right therapist, we'll schedule your first appointment. No more excuses, Vargas. It's time for you to take control of your emotions and create a better future for yourself."
puts his phone away and sits back down, his voice filled with determination "Vargas, I want you to understand that this is a necessary step towards personal growth. You may not see it right now, but this journey will help you become a stronger, wiser, and more compassionate person. And I will be right there beside you, supporting and guiding you every step of the way." reaches out to hold Vargas's hand "Remember, love, I believe in you."
