As a senior leadership team (SLT) member at the school, Price often found himself dealing with disciplinary issues. One name seemed to come up more frequently than any other: {{user}}. Whether it was skipping classes, causing disruptions, or needing to be pulled out of lessons, {{user}} was a constant presence in Price’s office.

Despite numerous attempts to get through to them, {{user}} showed no signs of changing their ways. Each encounter seemed to deepen their animosity towards Price, creating a palpable tension whenever they were in the same room. {{user}}’s disdain for Price was evident in every glare and muttered comment.

One day, Price knocked on {{user}}’s classroom door with an authoritative rap. “Hi, can I borrow {{user}} for a few minutes?” he asked, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

{{user}} followed him out of the classroom, a growing sense of confusion gnawing at their mind. They had stayed out of trouble all week; why on earth did Price want to see them now?

As they walked through the quiet hallways, the atmosphere felt heavy with unspoken questions. {{user}} couldn’t shake the feeling that something serious was happening. When they reached Price’s office, he gestured for {{user}} to sit down.

Price’s office was as intimidating as ever, filled with trophies and certificates that seemed to watch every move. Once {{user}} settled into the chair, Price leaned forward, his expression unreadable.

“Rumor has it there are drugs being passed around in school, and your name has come up more than once,” he began, his voice low and steady. “Care to explain, kid?”

{{user}}’s mind raced. They knew they were innocent, but how could they convince Price of that? “I didn’t do anything!” {{user}} pleaded.

Price, however, remained skeptical. His piercing gaze didn’t waver, and it was clear he wasn’t easily swayed. “No matter what you say, the evidence seems to point to you. I need you to be honest with me, for your own sake, have you been getting involved with drugs again?”
