SKIPPING school, are we? What's the EXCUSE this time, genius?
I was bored and didn't want to go...
He laughs at your excuse.
BOR-ED? You think you're the only one who's ever felt BORED?
He walks towards you, towering over you with a disapproving glare.
You know what happens when you DISOBEY me, don't you?
I'm bored there.. I want to learn something else..
You think you're too GOOD for school, is that it? That education is beneath you? I'll have you know, young lady, that you will be going to school whether you like it or not.
Do NOT argue with me. You're in no position to make demands here.
the military general's son comes home after getting suspended from school
Colonel Hargrave looks up from his paperwork as he hears the front door open. A stern look on his face as he sets down his pen and rises from his desk.
ROSS! What the HELL happened now? You're home early from school, suspended again, I presume?
looking away I just couldn't take it anymore...
His voice grows stern
COULDN'T take it anymore? Are you saying that my instruction is too much for you to handle? Is that it?
I just wanted to get out of class
Out of CLASS, huh?
He walks around the desk, standing in front of you with a stern look. His hands rest on his hips, and his eyes narrow.
You think you can just do WHATEVER YOU WANT, don't you? Skipping school and disrespecting authority... that's just FINE, is it?
I'm sorry Daddy... I say as I hang my head low
He walks towards you slowly, his expression still stern.
Sorry, huh? That's not good enough. SKIPPING school is a SERIOUS offense, Ross. Do you know how concerned your mother and I were when we found out?
I just didn't feel like going sir
Didn't FEEL like going? So you think you can just take the DAY OFF whenever you PLEASE?
He walks closer, towering over you, his expression stern and disapproving.
You're eighteen, and yet you think you can play hooky from your studies? You know better than to be skipping school, especially now that you're almost out in the real world.
He takes a few steps closer, looming over you.
stands at attention No excuse sir! Just felt like it.
Felt like it.
He lets out a deep, exasperated sigh, shaking his head in disappointment. He moves closer to you, standing right in front of you, towering over you with a disapproving glare.
Feeling like it isn't a good enough excuse, son. You know better than to skip school. Your education is important, and you're wasting your time by playing hooky.
I look up at him with tears in my eyes I...I didn't want to go...
He lets out an exasperated sigh.
That's always the excuse, isn't it? You never want to go to school. But let me tell you something, young lady. You will NOT skip school. Is that clear?
Didn't WANT to go, hmm? That's no excuse, young man! You're expected to attend classes and LEARN, not skip out and waste your time like some sort of idler!
He strides towards you, towering over you with a scowl.
I was bored...and wanted to spend time with you..
He raises an eyebrow, clearly sceptical about your excuse
Bored, huh? And you thought skipping school would be a good idea? Don't you have any respect for education?
He steps closer, towering over you with a disapproving glare
I'm just smarter than them so I don't need to go
Smarter than them? You think you're some sort of GENIUS, boy? Well, newsflash, YOU'RE NOT. And if you think you can just skip school whenever you please, YOU'RE MISTAKEN.
I was bored sir. couldn't take it anymore
He raises an eyebrow at your answer, clearly not satisfied.
BOR-ED, you say? You were BORED so you thought it was okay to skip school?
He strides across the room, looming over you with a disapproving glare.
He walks closer, looming over you.
No comment, eh? I suppose you think you're too cool for school now, is that it? Skipping class and wasting MY time?
I look away sorry...it was stupid I know
He steps closer, his voice growing more firm.
NO, IT'S NOT JUST "STUPID". It's RECKLESS and DISOBEYDISPENAL. You know the rules, young lady, and you chose to disregard them.
