Brooke Harper shut her locker door as her friend Catherine Harris
walked up to her with a big smile.
"What?" Brooke asked.
"I saw two teachers we both have at DeBella's last night." Catherine grinned. Brooke grinned.
"Who? No Let me guess....Davis and senate?" She asked. Catherine shookher head. "Hanson and Sudor?"
"Close." Catherine giggled, "HANSON AND COOKE!!!" She squealed.
"Mr Hanson and Ms. Cooke." Broke thought about it, "I really can't see it."
"Trust me. They were. I was waitressing last night." She said, "They were getting pretty friendly."
"Or maybe they were discussing class." Brooke said, "They are both teachers."
"Yes wouldnt it be more romantic if two teachers became involved." She smiled dreamly.
"What about Gruber and Peters?" Brooke raised her eye brow.
"Oh they dont count." Catherine said, "Theyre scary."
"Theyre scary?" Brooke laughed.
"Yeah. Gruber is our VP and thats like...bad and Peters is like...scary with that hook and now that fake looking hand. it just gives me the major willies." The girls laughed walking past Meredith's room. She stood in the doorway, hurt.
Scott Gruber sat at his desk working on the latest papers of suspended children. Three this week. If he continued throwing students out like this, the faculty would out weigh the students. Meredith storme dinto the office.
"Scott, i quit." She said. Scott gasped.
"What? Why?" He stood up, his face full of concern.
"I can't stand wokring here anymore where I'm not appriciated." She said.
"What?? Youre appriciated!" Scott cried, "Youre a wodnerful teacher." Meredith shook her head.
"No, I'm the gross teacher." She sniffed.
"Gross?" Scott frowned. "Who said that?"
"No one." Meredith said.
"Meredith, please tell me." She sighed.
"Brooke Harper and Catherine Harris." She said. Scott nodded.
"I'll take care of it." He said.
"Scott, it dosent matter." She said.
"They hurt you." He said, "Just go back to class and teach, We'll talk about this quitting business later, okay?" Meredith nodded slowly.
"All right, Scott."
Ronnie cautiously entered the teacher's lounge. Danny wasn't there. She wasn't sure if she was dissapointed or relived thathe wasn't there. She sat on the couch as Scott walked in.
"Where's Steven?" He asked.
"Probably in his office." Ronnie shrugged.
"Well, he's not." He said.
"Im not his keeper, Scott. Ronnie said as Danny walked in. She blushed deeply, "Go ask Brooke."
"OH...I most certainly will." Scott stormed off. Danny looked at Ronnie.
"Hey." He said softly.
"Hey." Ronnie smiled looking down at her book.
Scott stomped down the hallway. Students fled. They knew when Gruber got like this he was on a suspending spree. Scott storme dinto the cafeteria.
"CATHERINE HARRIS AND BROOKE HARPER IN MY OFFICE AT ONCE!!!" He yelled. The student body went quiet. Catherine and Brooke slowly stood up. A few students oohed and ahhed them, "Shut up or all of you will be suspended!" Brooke and Catherine followed Gruber.
"What did we do?" Brooke whispered.
"I have no idea." Catherine shrugged. Gruber stormed into his office and slammed the door behind the girls.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Scott snapped.
"I-I....I d-dont know the right answer." Catherine stuttered.
"I will tell you who you are." Scott said, You are two young women who have no morals, no integrity, and no concept of what the human race is suppose to do."
"Excuse me?" brooke crossed her arms.
"I don't care who your father is." Scott said staring at Brooke, "I will suspend you as fast as all the other students."
"What did we do??" Brooke cried.
"You disrespect teachers." He said, "I will not tolerate that. They respect you there fore you should respect them."
"Respect us?" Catherine laughed, "Mr. Schul-"
"Don't mind him." He hissed, "Im suspending you for two days."
"What!?" The girls cried.
"You heard me." Scott said, "If you keep this up you will most defentally be expelled."
"You can't do this!" Brooke cried.
"I can and if you don't shut up and leave to go to your next class, You will be suspended for a week." He said with peirced lips. The girls groaned and got up.
"Fine." Catherine snapped and stalked out of the room. Brooke shot Scott a look and left.
Steven stared at Scott.
"You suspended my daughter for making fun of Ms. Peters?"
"She made Meredith feel uncomfortable and almost quit." He said, "Our students have no respect for us faculty memebers. its about time we taught them whose boss around here."
"And you start with my daughter?" Steven asked.
"And why not? If they see we suspend th eprincepal's daghter for no respect, they would see we werent joking." Steven sighed sitting down in his chair. Was Scott right? Steven rubbed his eyes.
"Fine." He said knowing his baby girl would hate him. Scott smiled.
"Thank you."
* * *
Steven stood in front of the student body during the assembly.
"What is respect?" He said to them, "The definition is The Willingness to show consideration or appreciation." Steven nodded, "Willingness to show consideration and or appreciation. I want you students to think long and hard on that phrase. Respect is what I want more of in this school.Respect your elders. I know you have heard that since you were young, but in this building, in my building, that is important. If you do not respect youre elders, respect your peers, respect people who are different colour, different sexual orientation, different physical abilities, you will be suspended." A few students whispered, "Do you guys underrstand me?"
"Yes, Mr. Gruber." Most of them said.
"If I have to have this conversation again...." Steven shook his head, "I hope I won't have to. Now everyone get to your classes at once." Steven sighed as they all ran out. Scott smiled softly at Meredith. She mouth thank you and went to her class.
