[ This was supposed to be just to her coworkers and boss, but Gwen's so pissed she can't even see straight, so it goes to the town at large. ]

So, I'm going to be about an hour late to my shift at Starkbucks? Sorry to whoever I'm supposed to be relieving when I come in after school, but I have detention.

There was a thing with a school bully picking on one of the smaller kids and, to quote Hamilton...

I may have punched him. It's a blur.

See you when I get there.

I was about to ask what on earth you could have done to earn detention but standing up to the little people is always a good reason.

[hibana_incursa]

Yeah, I mean...it's not like...the best first impression I could have given my teachers?

But I also didn't want this kid to think it was okay to pick on people. Hopefully, now he knows that Gwen Stacy will in fact chase him down if he does it again. Detention is worth it.

Perhaps not but also the fact that it shows you stand up for what you believe in is a good thing.

I hope so too.

I once got detention for the same thing when I was younger, and the principal called my dad to get me out of school for the day.

He took me out for ice cream. Told me to maybe be smarter about how I de-escalate situations, but that was some pretty amazing Rocky Road.

But like I said, if this kid tries it again, I'll defend people again. It's just how I roll.

As the adult in our relationship - you're dating Peter so I can claim you as mine - I encourage you to do so. Just don't get expelled.
