Octavian Country Day School
Principal Burns Office
10:05 a.m.
"I would like stress the seriousness of what your children have done" said Pricipal Burns to the five sets of parents in front of her nervously awaiting the her decision.
"We completely understand the situation and we can assure you that nothing like this will ever happen again." said Glenn Rivera the father of the stunningly beautiful Alicia.
"Yes, I am sure you can Mr. Rivera, because as of now your children are no longer students of Octavian Country Day School" said Principal Burns.
"But I don't understand this" said Dylan. " We've done worse things than just getting lost in the woods for only about half a second, what's the big deal?."
"Yes Ms. Marvel and this little incident combined with previous ones had lead me to believe that the severity of our punishments here has done nothing to deter your reckless behavior." responded Principal Burns. " I'm sorry but that is the sad truth of the situation, now if you will excuse me I have a meeting at 11:00." she said as she ushered the teary eyed group of girls and their parents out of her office.
"I can't believe this" said Kristen. "All of that work keeping my grades up, all of those extra credit assignments and I get expelled, it just doesn't make sense."
Claire was speechless, her whole world was crumbling around her. She looked to Massie for assurance, but for the first time in their short-lived friendship she saw the real Massie, the vulnerable Massie. No witty comeback or clever remark could mask the pain behind her eyes. This was the true Massie, the one Claire never thought she'd get to see.
Tear stained cheeks and all the five members of the Pretty Committee tried their best to keep their heads held high as they walked through the halls of OCD for the very last time.
