Monday afternoon, at school the gang were standing on 2 sides surrounding Autumn and Wes. "I'm through with you Wes, FOR GOOD this time!" Autumn shouted, "We've been fighting so much lately, I don't see it getting better."

"Maybe we should give you 2 some space," Donna suggested.

"No need" Wes replied, "If that's what you think, Autumn, fine. We're done!"

Autumn runs out of the gym, crying. "I've been waiting for you two to break up," Donna said with relief.

"Now you're sounding like Michael" he glared "If Autumn wants to leave, fine. She knew what she was getting into. Now, who's up for an Isa mutiny?"

"Mutiny" Mia asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"It's too risky." Caleb suggested, "Anyone else wanna get suspended?"

"No" Ezra answered, "But I'll do anything to shake things up."

The entire cheer squad and band murmur in agreement as they follow Wes out of the gym. Only Donna, the basketball team, and Noah are left behind.

"Someone should check on Autumn."

"I'll go" Julian answered, "Catch ya later"

Julian runs after Autumn, as the rest of them disperse. Donna was about to follow when she notices Michael and Maria on the other side of the gym. As she approaches, she caught them in a tight embrace and sigh heavily. "May I interrupt?" she asked as they notice her, "I thought you guys hate each other."

"Maybe at one point," Maria answered, "But Michael and I are friends now."

Michael sidles up to her and whispers in her ear, "Don't worry Babe, I've only had eyes for you."

Maria checks the time on her phone, realizing that it's her turn to cook dinner tonight. She rushed off, leaving her and Michael alone. Michael explained that their working on a video to show his childhood friend, "Giselle" and is updating about his life. "Good luck," Donna said, "I have an English essay to write."

Wednesday during homeroom, Donna walks into the classroom. She sat down and look at a few empty seats, "What's going on?" she asked Sydney.

"Michael is helping with announcements, then Morgan and Caleb have hall monitor duties," Syd answered.

"This is out of hand," Myra replied.

"Is it me or does it feel like everyone's down lately?" Donna asked.

"I feel it too, even Maddox seems that way," Emma replied.

Just then, the TV in the corner flickers on. Principal Isa sits behind the desk and had a wide grin. She explained that her brother likes to make a quick announcement.

"I'm so happy to be here," Coach Isa said, "The team is gearing up for the game against Hearst, next week. As the legendary Coach Wooden said, "It's the detail that is vital" and that detail means everyone is coming to the game to support."

Emma thought that he was so excited about the game. Donna recalled that their the rivals and Berry High won the homecoming game in the fall. "After the sledding incident at the carnival" Principal Isa continued, "Not to mention the response to certain school activities losing funding, I've come to realize that students don't understand consequences anymore. Each homeroom will have a discussion with Tiger News about student expectations and what happened to those who don't live up to it."

"Your scary Sis." Coach Isa said.

Principal Isa glares at Coach Isa for a moment, then turns back to the camera. "Anyway" she continued, "That's all for now. Teachers, please lead your students in discussion with materials provided."

After she turned off the tv, Mrs. Maddox explained that the papers are new guidelines. One of them was "Hall monitors are to be obeyed at all times. Which means no running, roller skating or skipping on campus unless they say so."

"That does make sense," Emma said.

"Only approved groups are allowed to meet after school" Mrs. Maddox continued, "Unapproved groups wandering after school will be forced off the property."

"I take it back," Emma whispered to Donna, "I guess fun is outlawed too."

"Pinkie Pie would've hated this," Donna whispered.

"Principal Isa thinks that these will help bring the school to the golden era." Mrs. Maddox explained.

"I Am Groot(Golden Era of Misery if you ask me.)" Groot whispered.

"What if we have a friend group that's bigger than four people?" Syd asked.

"You'll have to meet off school property then." Mrs. Maddox suggested.

They thought it was ridiculous, luckily, there was The Golden Griddle. Then the class turns towards the open door where Morgan stands. "Isa would love to hear how things are going wrong, Teach." Morgan smiled, "Since I'm free from suspension, maybe Isa will reward me this time."

Donna catches Mrs. Maddox's eye across the room. She looks in tears and Donna stands up to Morgan. "About Morgan, look the other way for once," she said as Morgan rolls her eyes and scoffs.

With a gleeful grin, Morgan heads out of the classroom. Mrs. Maddox was grateful she stood up to her. After they read the new rules, the bell rang and the students left, with Donna and Emma the only ones left in the room. "I've never seen her this sad before," Emma said

"I Am Groot(Someone must do something.)" said Groot."

"I'm sure she'll pull through," Donna suggested as she walked off to chemistry class.

After school, Maria approaches her with an envelope saying in anger, "Don't make me regret this Solo!"

She opened the letter saying that it's an invitation to her 16th birthday party, which she planned herself.
