    "It was my first, but not my last, run-in with the principal"
  • 02
    Old story, since I haven't been in high school for a long time.
  • 03
    When I was in my senior year of high school in the US I moved from the state of California to Louisiana right before the school year started. I had
  • 04
    moved many times in my life, military family, but this one was the biggest change. Combined with leaving my school in my senior year. I made a few friends, but planned to just crush senior year.
  • 05
    Well, the principal wouldn't make an exception for a science class they offer in California but not in Lousiana and said that class was invalid and I would have to take
  • 06
    another one. Not a good start with him having 6 classes when I meant to have 4, since Louisiana required one extra credit to graduate at this time.
  • 07
    Later in the year, during that science class I had to retake, I made friends with the teacher. He wasn't well liked either by the principal, and there
  • 08
    was no love lost. I used to chat with him before class, and he was the first one of the day. This particular day he asked. me to run to the vending
  • 09
    machine and get him a water. He gave me a dollar (it used to cost only that back in the old days) and I went for it. The five minute bell rung right as I got there.

    Suddenly the principal materializes out of midair and says I need to get to class. Being one of only 5 kids who didn't spend all their highschool years in
  • 11
    this school I know he recognized me. I said "Hey, science teacher asked me to get him a water." But he tells me to get to vlass and not be late. Again I tell him I have
  • 12
    plenty of time. Then he just accuses me of lying and sends me back to class. Alright, I wont argue with him and I just go.
  • 13
    I get back and the teacher is like "Did you get my water?"
  • 14
    Me "Nope, the principal stopped me." He asks if I said it was for him, and I tell him I did but he accused me of lying.
  • 15
    So, science teacher calls him up and yells at him over the phone. Says being the principal doesn't mean being ro to students and there was
  • 16
    no rules saying a student couldn't get a drink before class even if the five minute bell rang. It was pretty epic, all stemming from the fact I was just mad I got called
  • 17
    a liar. I didn't even do it for the revenge, but it ended up being pretty revenge unintentionally. Worth it though.
  • 18
    It was my first, but not my last, run in with the principal. That's another story for another day though.

    Edit: I used the wrong principal. Couldn't edit the title though. That's what I get for making my first post a late night post. Thanks to the user who pointed it out!
