The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Chapter 21: Speech to the School
The next day, on Friday, the principal stood in front of the whole school. The teachers gathered them all in the hall to listen to the principal, Miss Hizzy. Everyone sat down to listen. Cody sat down. A small kid, in eighth Grade, who was a distant cousin of his, sat beside him, patting him on the back. Miss Hizzy spoke up. "Ok, yesterday, something happened that never happened in this school before. Do you guys know what violence is? Do you know who gets involved in violence? The cops. You go to jail. What do you do when violence is involved?"
A small kid in seventh grade raised his hand. "Um, I run away?"
"You run away?" Miss Hizzy repeated. "No, you don't! When violence happens, you go straight to the teachers or police! Yesterday, someone was beaten up! Fredrick Hanner is expelled and he's not coming back! I have no tolerance for people who give threats. If, outside school, you give threats to people like, 'I'll beat the shit out of you. I'll beat the crap out of you,' I'll kick you out. If I feel you don't belong here, I'll kick you out. I've expelled two people from this school so far, Jared Habbs, and Frederick Hanner, and I'll expel a third, and a fourth, and a fifth! I have no more tolerance. Someone was beaten up. She then pointed to Henry and said, "You're out too, I want to see you in my office!"
It turned out Fred was expelled, and Jared Habbs, a kid who was there the year before was expelled last year because he was caught smoking. Henry Jabber was suspended for three days for lying to Fred about the mother insult and causing trouble. He didn't mean for that much to happen, but it did. It all started with a small insult. It was amazing how the smallest thing could cause such a commotion.
Zack and Cody remembered that day for the rest of their lives. It was violent and it wasn't the end. They wanted to sue him. He was lucky he wasn't sued. It was over, and sometimes bothered the both of them. What would've happened to Cody if he was in Zack's place? Zack could endure more than him. What might've happened?
A/N: This whole incident from the time Cody met Fred in the bathroom till the time the principal spoke to the school was based on something that really did happen. I used exact words, exact everything as far as I remember and what I heard. At this point, I based Cody on me, with exact feelings and exact plot. I placed this incident of my life in writing, because it's a kind of reliever. It's like getting it out of my head, so it'd no longer bother me. That day had a lot of lessons in it, and I wish for everyone who is reading this to get the messages. When you stretch a fight further, it can get really bad. Look how it all started! Still, the last time I saw my Fred was not when he was walking out. He was allowed to come for after school classes, so he wouldn't lose the year! Now, because of a sorrowful incident I forbid myself to mention, he was allowed back and I made up with him. My brother is still angry though. All this happened from Monday November 6th 2006 when he called me the MINORLY offensive word when comparing it to what happened later, to Wednesday November 8th 2006 when I was pinned in the bathroom and stupidly kicked him during art class, to Thursday November 9th when my brother was beaten, to Friday November 10th when the principal spoke to the school. Later, we all had an activity day as was planned, (some day when we compete who can rap the best which I won, who can jump the highest, who can skip rope the longest, who can arm wrestle the best, and we get medals and stuff.) Anyway, to make things clear, Chapter 14, More Advice from a Little Brother, never happened. I only heard he called me a kiss up and wanted to TALK to him. My brother did not advise me, and it was not based on love. It had absolutely nothing to do with love. I did not advise my brother even. We had no idea violence would take place. My brother suspected it though, and warned me not to get involved, (I wasn't planning on listening, so it's a kind of relief I wasn't there when it happened.) My brother is not named Cody though. I am not Zack. The violent one was not named Fred. I refuse to reveal names. I was sitting with one of my best friends when I heard. Plus, my brother wasn't scarred under his eye. He was cut, but not scarred. I beg everyone to get the message. I learned so much this academic year, and so did the school. No one dares go violent to the extreme ever again. Now, I MIGHT rewrite this incident in another Home Improvement story of mine. I MIGHT. Maybe I'll modify it and change it to show what I believe would've happened. I'll see. Remember the lesson. I am purely anything that leads to disastrous consequences. Violence is always my last resort. It should be yours too, and not showing off your wonderful muscles I'm sure you have just to be cool. See ya. Now, let's get back to the real story. Zack is scarred because I think it portrays his future image. I like the scar there. It's one of the reasons why I chose this story to give this incident out. Oh yeah, my principal used these exact words. She said exactly those words, nothing different there.
