"All students please meet in the gym for an emergency meeting." A voice echoed over the loudspeaker. Phil was herded through the halls between a sea of people. All of them flooded into the gym and took seats on the bleachers. Phil sat near the back. No one wanted to join him.
"Settle down, settle down." The principal spoke from the podium that had been set up, trying to quiet down the talkative teens. "Nothing is wrong, there is no cause for alarm. I simply called you here for a very important last minute announcement." She cleared her throat.
"As many of you know, things between us and Westbrooke have been somewhat... rocky the past years. That being said, Principal Jonathan is trying to make a peace between our schools by hosting a dance this Friday night. I expect you to all be on your best behavior." Murmurs followed. Principal Susan tried once more to quiet down the students.
"Are there any questions?" She asked. A boy in the front raised his hand. Without waiting for her to respond he spoke.
"Yeah, do we have to go?" He snickered. His friends laughed. A smile spread across Susan's face.
"You don't have to go. Unless you would like to not be able to go to any other school or inter-school events this year." This was followed by yelling from many students. Susan ignored it.
"If there are no further questions, then all of you, get to class!" Everyone scrambled to get out of their seats. As much as Northglenn students hated class, they hated being trapped in meeting even more. As people moved in front of him, Phil barely seemed to notice. His thoughts were focused on going to the dance with Dan.
