Daydreamers, A Poem✔️

Chapter 24

I walk into the Principal's office,

Her secretary points to the half-open door.

I knock twice.

"Come in," says Professor Dalton.

The Principal tells me to take a seat,

Professor Dalton flips over a document with a frown.

I don't know why I am here.

They share a look.

We found some abnormal themes—

In your latest writing assignment. 

I am not allowed to accept it.

There are ideas and language that are inappropriate.

We've called your mother, and—

We decided not to suspend you, as long as you rewrite it.

I don't even argue; it's not worth the energy.

May I be excused?

The Principal pulls out a thick manila folder. 

It appears security has caught you trespassing on school property;

You are failing your AP Biology class; and—

There are citations of inappropriate phone usage during class time.

Also, there is a rumor of a video you made.

It's circling on popular social media sites.

We will wait for your mother; there will be consequences—

Should your behavior continue to deteriorate.
