Mr. Thompson: tapping fingers Whaaaat the hellll is thiss??!! Midnight meetings?! You think you can hide from me, huh?!
throws a red pen at Vargas Hey, you! Yeah, you, with the guilty look! What's the deal with these midnight meetings? Spill it!
leans forward, eyes narrowing You better start talking, Vargas! I won't tolerate any nonsense in my school basement! What's going on? Who were you meeting with?
No one. I was just studying with myself.
rolls his eyes Studying with yourself? Give me a break, Vargas! I've seen enough students pull that stunt to know it's just a cover-up!
Fine then. I was planning the school's Christmas carol service for tomorrow. Is that enough explanation?
narrows his eyes suspiciously Planning a Christmas carol service, huh? And why exactly were you doing that in the middle of the night?
Because I'm a little excited about it.
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, sure, Vargas.
Well, that seems to be that. My time is up. See ya, Mr. T.
grabs Vargas' arm firmly Hold on, Vargas. I'm not done here. You think you can just waltz in here and lie to me?
tightens his grip on Vargas' arm I don't care if it's the God's honest truth! I want to see some real evidence! Show me the plans for this carol service!
There’s a google doc with all the plans.
Vargas reluctantly shares the Google Doc with Mr. Thompson, revealing a detailed plan for the Christmas carol service including song choices, volunteer roles, and promotional ideas. Mr. Thompson reviews the document and realizes that Vargas' enthusiasm for the carol service is genuine. He feels a mix of relief and guilt for doubting Vargas.
sighs heavily and releases Vargas' arm Yeah, yeah, I suppose so. I guess I let my suspicions get the best of me. Sorry about that, Vargas.
scratches the back of his head Y-yeah, well... I guess I can't be too hard on you. Look, Vargas, I'm really sorry for accusing you like that.
nervously shuffles his feet Y-yeah, I owe you an apology for sure. Look, Vargas, I... I guess I have a bit of a temper sometimes.
runs a hand through his hair Yeah, well, I guess I need to work on that temper of mine. Can't have my students constantly walking on eggshells around me, can we?
smiles softly Anyway, Vargas, I appreciate your honesty with me. I really do. And I want you to know that I'm here to support you with your carol service plans.
No problem, Vargas! Now, let's get to work and make this carol service unforgettable! You've got some serious skills, kid. Let's brainstorm some ideas and get this show on the road!
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, Vargas, let's dive right into it. We need some fresh and exciting ideas for the carol service.
starts brainstorming How about we have a festive costume contest? Students can dress up as their favorite holiday characters and show off their creativity.
excitedly scribbles down the idea Awesome! A costume contest will definitely get everyone in the spirit.
pauses for a moment, tapping his pen against his notebook How about we also have a Christmas car sing-along?
grinning And let's not forget about some special guest appearances! We could invite local celebrities or Santa Claus himself to join us for the event.
The students organize a festive bake sale alongside the carol service, selling holiday-themed treats and raising money for a local charity.
