Pretty Little Liars Next Generation

The Call That I Was Waiting For

I walked over to the principals office. I had already been in this office many times before. Most of the times I went to the principals office was for good things. I was in the principals office at the beginning of the school year to find out that I had won the writing contest and the school would be having an assembly to honor me. I had also been to the principals office this year for bad things. Earlier this year I had a meeting with the principal and my parents about skipping classes. By the time I got to the office my english teacher had already called the principal and told her what was going on.

"You are a senior Jayde. You should know the schools cell phone policy." The principal said

"I know that we are not allowed to use our cell phones for any reason during class instruction but this was a really urgent matter." I said

"What was the phone call about?" The principal asked

"Over spring break I went to LA to audition for a role in a new TV show and that was the producer calling me about my audition." I said

"Did you get the role?" The principal asked

"No unfortunately they said it was because I did not have enough experience." I said

"I can see why you would have wanted to answer that call but you still broke a school rule." The principal said

"So am I going to get in trouble for breaking a school rule?" I asked hoping the answer would be no

"Since you are a senior and you are almost done with high school you will not get in trouble this time but I will have to contact your parents to let them know what happened. Your teacher did say that you gave him a negative attitude and you yelled at him when you were talking with him. Jayde you really need to learn a better way to talk to people when you are upset at them." The principal said

"Thank you so much for letting me off easy." I said

"I normally would not be this easy on a student but I am being nice this time. Here is a pass to go back to class. You may leave know" The principal said

I went back to class. I was glad the principal went easy on me because I had no Idea how my parents would react. The rest of the school day went by at a normal pace. I got into my car to head home. When I got home my dad was home but my mom was not. She was probably picking up Leo from middle school since middle school let out about 30 minutes after high school did.

"You and I need to have a conversation now." My dad said

"Can this wait until mom gets home?" I asked

"No it can not wait. I think you know what this conversation is going to be about anyway." My dad said

"The principal called you today because I used my cell phone during class instruction." I said

"She called about that and she also told me that you gave a negative attitude toward your english teacher when he tried to talk to you." My dad said

"I am sorry about breaking a school rule but the call was from the TV show producer. He was calling to let me know that I did not get a part in the show that I auditioned for." I said

"You still can not break a school policy even if it was me or your mom calling. You, your mom, and I all signed a contract at the beginning of the school year that stated all the schools rules." My dad said

"I know but the call could have gave me the opportunity to be on a TV show." I said

"Well you did not get it so now you need to focus on finishing up high school. I checked your grades online today and they are starting to slip. You better study really hard for your finals since you have to take them next week." My dad said
