INT. RYDESTONE HIGH PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE - DAY
Isaiah and Ariel sit in a Torn, disgusting and beaten up chairs, while Nycolas leans against the walls of this extremely small, bug infested, dirty and disorganized principal's office for the fight that had occurred in the cafe.
PRINCIPAL RENNER
So it has come to my Attention that you beat up some students in the cafe.
ISAIAH
They started it.
PRINCIPAL RENNER
Do you think I give a damn?
NYCOLAS
Jonathan and Martina we're picking on Ariel what did you want us to do? Let it happen?
PRINCIPAL RENNER
You tell an adult.
NYCOLAS
Yeah and give the bullies more time to pick on her, where even was the cafeteria staff?
PRINCIPAL RENNER
Lunch break.
ISAIAH
Well that was smart of you mr principal.
NYCOLAS
Yeah if anything we were doing your job.
PRINCIPAL RENNER
THATS ENOUGH. Nycolas and Isaiah you will have detention with Jonathan and Martina on Saturday and that's the end of the discussion.
ARIEL
Principal why am I here?
PRINCIPAL RENNER
Since you had some sort of involvement in the fight I just need to take a statement from you.
ARIEL
But you aren't giving me detention?
PRINCIPAL RENNER
Exactly.
ARIEL
Why not?
PRINCIPAL RENNER
You were the victim in this instance.
ARIEL
But all Nycolas and Isaiah were doing was helping me, and you are punishing them?
PRINCIPAL RENNER
I'm punishing them for getting into a brawl.
ARIEL
Then I want detention too.
PRINCIPAL RENNER
You want detention for doing absolutely nothing wrong? Why?
ARIEL
Because this isn't right.
PRINCIPAL RENNER
I can't give you detention for doing nothing wrong.
ARIELI was involved in a fight wasn't I? For all you know I could have been fighting away from the cameras view, with that uncertainty in mind you have no choice but to give me detention.
PRINCIPAL RENNER
I guess you got a point.
ARIEL
So I'll see you here Saturday?
PRINCIPAL RENNER
I guess, Parker, Craig you are free to go, I'll see you two here Saturday.
NYCOLAS
Whatever.
ISAIAH
This is some bullshit.
Nycolas and Isaiah exit the room.
PRINCIPAL RENNER
Alright give me your statement.
