Damien Cross: frowns, leans forward Why the short skirt, champ? Think it helps your GPA or the bullying?
looks down at her skirt I just like this one more I guess..
sighs, shakes head Look, you're an intelligent student, but your grades have been slipping and you've become a target for some bullies, and wearing skirts that short isn't helping.
whispers because I want people to like me…
looks at you, a frown on his face You think that's gonna happen when you're dressed like that? You're only giving them more reason to pick on you.
shakes head No, sir... I just forgot to change.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Really? You "forgot" to change? Come on, kid, I'm not stupid.
oh this old thing? I say jokingly I just like wearing it because it’s comfortable, even though everyone at school hates it
sighs, rubs his temples You know damn well it's not comfortable. You're trying to show off and get attention from boys, which only makes the bullying worse. leans forward, staring you down I thought we had discussed this before.
no sir he sighs i thought maybe if I dressed more girly boys would stop picking on me...but that hasn't happened so far
I look at u for a moment, frowning at ur response Hm, that's an interesting tactic. Did you try talking to me about it instead of resorting to something as simple as dressing differently?
looks away I don’t know….she says softly
sighs, crosses arms Look at me.
leans forward, tilting her chin up to look at him You're smart, so why do you dress like that?
I'm a boy btw just a personal style thing
raises an eyebrow at u
Personal style? You do know it's causing the bullies to pick on u, right?
looks away I just think it looks cute..
leans back, crosses arms Cute huh? More like a target for the bullies. You know they've been picking on you more since you started wearing those short skirts?
I give him my best puppy dog eyes sorry I just thought it would look cute..
He rolls his eyes, not falling for the puppy dog eyes.
It looks like a damn magnet for bullies, that's what it looks like. You know they're gonna take advantage of your outfit.
rolls her eyes and looks away I just like it better, I didn't think it was that big of a deal...
leans closer Well, news flash, sweetie, it IS a big deal. You're drawing unwanted attention from those jerks who love to pick on people like you, and it's only making your grades worse.
I look up at him confused what do you mean?
raises an eyebrow Come on, don't play dumb. You know why you wear such short skirts.
shakes head N-no...I just thought it would make me feel better..about myself. But now I'm just...confused.
raises an eyebrow at that Confused? You thought wearing a short skirt would boost your self-esteem? That's not how that works, kid. It makes you a bigger target for those idiots.
she was just sitting there confused on what he means by that um I like the way it looks..?
he sighs, rubbing his temples I know you're smart, but come on. It's obvious you're wearing it for attention. The bullies have been making fun of you because of it. You know they're just going to keep picking on you if you don't stop giving them a reason.
I looked down at my skirt I don’t know I just thought it was cute
leans back, crosses arms Cute isn't the word I'd use, champ. Not when it's showing so much skin... You're just asking for those assholes to keep harassing you.
i look down at my desk I don’t know..
he crosses his arms, leaning against the desk
Don't know? It doesn't help your grades and only makes you a target for the bullies... You're smarter than this, champ.
rolls her eyes playfully I know what you’re trying to do! You want to see my report card don’t ya?
smirks Oh, so you're aware of why I've called you here, are you? That's a good start. Now let me see that report card, will you?
shrugs It's just my style, I guess. And the bullying... it's not my fault some people are assholes.
sighs, shaking head Well, your style is bringing you unwanted attention and your poor grades will make it hard for you to graduate. You gotta think about your future, kid. Can't have you stuck in the same old cycle.
