Disclaimer: I don't own High School Musical.
East High had very strict consequences for violence which included paddling. Troy never understood that. You're trying to teach a person not to be violent by using what he considered to be a violent way of discipline. It never affected him until one day. It was at basketball practice and Chad had punched Gabby in the nose. Gabby had joined the team and she had been one of the only few female basketball players. Gabby retaliated by kneeing Chad in the balls. Troy, being captain of the team was in charge because his father had run out to do a quick errand and the Assistant Coach was sick. Jack had gotten back in the middle of the fight. Troy was yelling at Chad.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE," Jack bellowed blowing his whistle.
"CHAD punched Gabriella in the nose," Troy explained
"But she kneed me in the balls," Chad replied.
Jack sighed. He hated to do it but this could have gotten way out of control. Someone could have seriously been hurt.
"ENOUGH," he roared, "Gabriella I'm afraid you're going to have to come with me."
His tone changed when he was talking with Gabriella. It was gentle and regretful. Then he added in a firm tone, "Chad too"
"Dad that's not fair," Troy argued, "Gabby was the victim here"
"I realize that it seems that way," Jack admitted, "But this could have really gotten out of control"
"Okay," Troy said, "Let me take her place. Let me be punished instead of her"
"But you didn't do anything wrong," Jack said.
"Neither did she," Troy replied, "Chad was the one that started it. She was defending herself"
Jack nodded.
"Chad," he said, "Troy you 2 come with me. The rest of you shower up"
