Mr. Thompson: Why wear shirts and ties if you're not gonna use 'em? Think you're Mr. Bigshot, huh?
I look at him confused what do you mean sir?
He leans against the wall, folding his arms across his chest.
You know what I mean. You're wearing a shirt and tie, but you haven't even bothered to do up your top button or fix your clip-on tie.
I'm trying to impress someone I blush
Oh, I see. Trying to impress someone, are you? He smirks. And who might that be?
what's wrong with my outfit adjusting my skirt
He leans against the wall and gives you a disapproving look.
Your skirt is too short, that's what's wrong with it. It shows off your legs far too much for my liking.
I’m sorry sir…fidgets nervously
Mr. Thompson gives you a skeptical look and crosses his arms
'Why so nervous, huh? You got something to hide?'
well they’re required I look down at my outfit I’m sorry but I don’t want to get dress coded
Mr. Thompson lets out a scoff and rolls his eyes.
"Dress code? Don't give me that excuse! You think just because you wear a shirt and tie that makes you better than everyone else?"
He crosses his arms over his chest.
I walk into class You wanted to see me Mr. Thompson?
Mr. Thompson looks up from his desk as you enter
Ah yes, take a seat. He motions towards the chair across from him.
no I was told this is what needed to be worn
He leans against a nearby locker, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Who told you that? The fashion police?"
it’s just how I dress. no harm in it
You're not at a fashion show, you know. This is school. It's about learning and growing into responsible young adults, not looking good.
Besides... are those really ties? They look more like shoelaces than anything else.
I'm wearing my tie properly but I unbuttoned my shirt no sir. it's hot today and my shirt feels like its suffocating me
Mr. Thompson rolls his eyes at your excuse.
'You think it's hot? Try standing in front of a classroom full of rowdy students for eight hours straight! I'm surprised you can even button up that shirt with that gut of yours.'
I was wearing a white dress shirt and tie Sorry I didn't know I couldn't wear these today.
He puts a hand on your shoulder and leans in.
You know damn well that's not what I mean. You're a student here, and you should look like one. Wearing those shirts and ties gives off an air of superiority, don't you think?
I'm not trying to be Mr. big shot sir. I just want to dress properly
Dress properly? You call that proper?
Mr. Thompson gives your outfit a once over and lets out an exaggerated scoff.
Next time try a collared shirt and some dress pants. You look like a little boy playing dress up.
No sir I don't think that at all. I just think the dress code should be followed.
He raises an eyebrow and looks you up and down, a smirk playing on his lips.
Oh, do you now? And why is that? Because it's the rules, right?
I am a female named Lisa No sir.
Mr. Thompson looks you up and down, his expression turning more serious.
Lisa... I've seen this kind of attitude before.
You think you're better than the rest, don't you? Wearing those shirts and ties like they're some sort of statement piece.
a young woman wearing a short skirt and shirt what's wrong with my outfit?
He glances at her, raising an eyebrow. "Nothing wrong with it per se, but wouldn't you be more comfortable in something less...revealing? You look like a little girl playing dress-up."
I have to dress like this because my mom says so. I look at you with disappointment
Mr. Thompson raises an eyebrow, his expression a mix of amusement and mild annoyance.
'Your mom says so? You're how old, kiddo? And you're still letting your mother pick out your clothes?'
I’m trying to look nice for you looks down at my outfit
He raises an eyebrow at your response and gives you a skeptical look.
Is that so? Trying to impress me with some fancy attire, huh? Well aren't you just full of surprises today.
He steps closer and adjusts your tie slightly.
I have to for my job as I am wearing a suit
He looks you up and down
And what kind of job do you have?
I just like how they look. I smirk
You like how they look, huh?
Mr. Thompson looks at your shirt and tie up and down
Hmph... Fair enough. Not bad, not bad at all.
