Gabriella sat with her head down in the principle's office, feeling the cold where the warm cardigan had been. Mr Matsui had made her take it off.
"Gabriella Montez!" Gabriella jumped at the sound of her mother. "What were you thinking?" Gabriella stared at the floor. She'd never been in trouble before.
Mr Matsui called in Gabriella and her mother. They took tier seats. The office was full of basketball memorabilia. Gabriella smilied at the picture of Troy, shooting a hoop. Mr Matsui cleared his throat and Gabriella sat up. Inside the office was also Sharpay, whose mascara was running everywhere, and Ms Darbus.
"Sharpay, Ms Darbus, thank you." They stood up and left, Sharpay giving Gabriella the evil eye.
"Well Ms Montez, lets see." Said Mr Matsui. "Where do I begin?" Gabriella looked at the floor. "Well, we'll have to replace Sharpay's locker and lock. You've defaced her mirror, ruined 6 designer coats and two designer tops, stolen property from both Ms Evans and Mr Sims, not to mention the mathematic quiz, which we will have to rewrite now. Do you understand what you've done?" Gabriella hung her head.
"Now I've been speaking with Ms Evans' father," continued Mr Matsui, "He has agreed, luckily, not to press wilful damage charges. However, the total alone for Sharpay's coats and tops is $2,600. The locker will cost $200 to repair and replace. And I cannot even begin to account for the time it'll take the teachers to rewrite the quiz. Now Mr Evans has agreed that you shall not pay for the clothes. He can afford to replace the clothes." Gabriella heard her mother sigh. They just did not have that kind of money.
"However," Mr Matsui continued, "You will still have to face the consequences of your actions. I cannot let the go unpunished." Gabriella looked up.
"What are they?" She asked.
"Number one. You will stay behind after school every day for the next term and help Mr Sims clean." Her mum nodded.
"Number two. You will also spend every lunch time in detention for the next term."
"Every lunch time?" Gabriella asked.
"Yes." Said the principle. "Third, I expect letters of apology to Sharpay, Mr Sims, and the mathematics department for what you have done." Gabriella nodded.
"Seems fair." She thought. "Except for the Sharpay one."
"Also you are grounded for the next year." Added her mother. "And I am going to deduct your pocket money until I have $2500 to make you understand what you have done."
"But Mum, that'll take a year!" Gabriella protested.
"Too bad." Gabriella was about to comment back, when their was a knock on the door.
"Ah yes, Ms Darbus, come in." Mr Matsui said. The door opened and in came Ms Darbus.
"Montez, I am highly disappointed with you." She said. "I was going to give your role to Sharpay. But that wouldn't be fair to Bolton. Lord knows why I care about Bolton. So you still have your part, but I swear on my beautiful chapel of the arts, if you do anything else, your out!" Gabriella nodded. "Yes-Ms-Darbus-I'm-sorry-so-sorry-never-again!" Gabriella really did not want to lose her part. And to Sharpay of all people!
"Good." Said Mr Matsui. "Now get to class."
