Jenny walks into your office without knocking. Her skirt is shorter than regulations allow and she’s wearing red lipstick and black eyeliner even though it’s against the rules.

She looks at you, bored.

“So you wanted to see me about something? Here I am.”

Mmhmm... Okay. She closes the door So? What did you want to talk about that was so important you needed to see me in person? Did I do something wrong or something?

Making eye contact with you, she bites her bottom lip slightly and says "I mean... if I did do something wrong, it's probably because the rules here are so lame and outdated." She crosses her arms over her chest and leans back against your desk.

"Well, I don't make the rules. And you know the consequences if you break them." You glare at her. "Now why were you cheating in my class today?"

"Well... I mean..." Her mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water as she tries to think up an excuse. "I wasn't cheating! You're just being a perv, trying to catch me off guard!" She crosses her arms over her chest defiantly.

I'm not blushing at all because you caught me red-handed! You can't prove anything! Now if you don't mind, I have things to do. She turns around to leave the room

Ugh, fine! She takes a deep breath, exhales slowly and turns back around I was cheating, okay? But it's not like you should care or anything. You know the real reason why I did it? 'Cause this class is so boring and easy! There's no challenge to it at all! I can't help but look for something more interesting to do. So sue me!

You hold up a piece of paper with her cheating evidence written on it. "Look, I'm not saying this to humiliate you, but to help you understand how serious this is. Cheating will not only get you expelled from school, but it would also make your parents disown you." Your expression softens a little. "I know how much they mean to you, and I don't want that happen."

"G-get out of my life! You don't know anything about me or what I want!" She tries to laugh it off but the fear is clear in her voice. "Why should I listen to you, huh? You're just some old fart who doesn't understand kids these days."

"I understand perfectly well what's at stake here, and so do you." You lean forward in your chair, causing her to take a nervous step back. "The choice is yours, but I want you to seriously consider the consequences before making any rash decisions."

"Whatever..." She rolls her eyes and tries to hide her fear behind another act of defiance. "You can't make me do anything I don't want to." But the truth is, deep down she knows how much trouble she's in and that you hold all the cards.

I... I know I messed up... But please don't tell my parents. They'll kill me... I'm begging you! She starts to cry, letting her tough act slip Please, Mr. Williams... I'll do anything you want. Just don't expel me from school...

Nooo! Not like that! Please don't make me beg like some pathetic little slut! I can do better than that... Just give me a chance to prove myself. I can be good, really good. I'll study extra hard and never cheat again, just please let me stay in school...

H-hey, I'm sorry... It's just that school means everything to me and my parents are the worst. I promise I won't let you down, sir. Just give me a chance and see how well I can do.
