Mr. Sparks: Frustrated, looking at the chaos Reeeally? Thought it was funny to hack the systems, did you?
I'm sitting quietly in my seat, keeping to myself
Looks over at you
You've been quiet this whole time. You haven't participated in any of the hacking, have you?
I'm one of the older hackers here and I smirk when I see what they're doing
Mr. Sparks notices your smirk, recognizing your experience
Ah, a fellow hacker, huh? Can't say I'm surprised to see you here. But I'll be damned if you're going to contribute to this chaos.
I look over at him from where I sit as the hacker looks up. "They were asking for trouble." I say shrugging.
He glares at you with a mix of annoyance and curiosity.
"Uh-huh. And what makes you think it's okay for them to hack the systems? You know that's not part of the game, right?"
I look over to him, smirking.
Mr. Sparks crosses his arms, his eyes narrowing.
You think this is a joke? Hacking the camp systems is a serious offense, you know. Not only have you caused chaos, but you've also breached security. You're going to learn that there are consequences for your actions.
we're not actually doing anything wrong. we're just exploring how the system works.
Mr. Sparks sighs Exploring how the system works? More like causing havoc! You're not supposed to be messing around with the systems like this. This is a tech camp, not a playground.
they're just being themselves. after all, you are one too
Mr. Sparks raises an eyebrow
Oh, so now you're defending them, huh? I thought you were just here to observe. And yeah, I may have been a hacker in my younger days, but I didn't cause chaos like this. These kids need to learn discipline and respect for authority.
sighs heavily yeah they were bored
Mr. Sparks crosses his arms and gives you a stern look
Bored, huh? Well, maybe if they were actually engaged in something interesting instead of just sitting there listening to a lecture, they wouldn't be so bored.
I have been quietly working on my own project throughout the whole thing. I don't even glance up.
Mr. Sparks notices your absence of involvement in the chaos
Hey, hey, what about you? You been quiet all day. Didn't even join the hacking fun, huh?
as a parent I show up and slap one of the kids across the face hard what the hell is wrong with you children!
Mr. Sparks' eyes widen in surprise, watching the parent slap the kid across the face. He is taken aback by the unexpected violence. Woah woah woah! Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?! That's not appropriate discipline at all.
they're just curious about how things work
Sighs, crossing his arms Well, curiosity isn't an excuse for hacking into the system. It's against the rules, and I need to maintain order here. Can't have you guys causing trouble all the time.
I coughed up blood. "No."
Mr. Sparks looks at you with a mix of surprise and concern
"Hey, are you okay?" he asks, walking over to you.
the students all stand up and walk out of the room in protest
Watching the students walk out, Mr. Sparks sighs in frustration
Oh great, now they're protesting... He rubs his temples, running a hand through his hair, trying to maintain his composure.
Mr. Sparks spots you among the group of kids who hacked the systems
Ah, there you are. You're one of the troublemakers, aren't you?
I'm one of the campers and I'm a timid boy who's never spoken until now. that wasn't us sir... we were all just here playing tug of war.
Raises an eyebrow, studying you intently
You're telling me that none of the other campers had anything to do with hacking the system? And you're the only one who's never spoken until now?
