"Tamara Gilroy, Lucia Baxter, and Makayla Pluskin what has gotten into the three of you? You three are the smartest sophomore at this school. And you have never done anything like this. What is this about Frankie being a robot? And you hacked the school servers, and tried to dump water over a girl at a dance. I am surprised at you," Ms. Hough looks at them appalled.
Lucia begins, "You do not understand. This was not Makayla's and I fault. We love you Tammy, but we will not go down for this. It was all Tammy's idea. And she did it alone. We knew about, and did not try to stop it. But we did not participate."
Makayla looks up with tears in her eyes, "everything Lucia said is true. We love you Tammy, but this has gone too far. We want you to get help, if this is like freshman year."
"It is not like last year. And stop bringing it up!"
"You three give me no choice. Tamara you are suspended for a week. Lucia and Makayla you have one week of in school suspension. And you are all off the brain squad."
All three of them stare slack jawed, and start talking over each other.
"This is not fair," says Tammy.
"Don't you argue this is light sentencing? If you want heavier, I could call the police, and bring all three of you on formal charges."
Ms. Hough looks at each of them.
"No takers, good. I have already called yourparents to come and get you. Tamara, I will be talking to your parents. Becausethis sounds more serious than I thought. I think I heard about Adderall beingmentioned." Tammy puts her head in her lap. Her parents are going to ship heraway.
