A. Outraged parents began contacting the school board at record rates. The principal had been selling drugs to some students and using others as dealers on the street. It was the biggest scandal the county had ever seen, and nobody was happy about it.
Dozens of middle school children were going to be attending court mandated drug management programs. The principal, the Teacher of the Year, a janitor, and the cop that had accepted bribes to look the other way were all going to prison. And the once idyllic town dealt with the aftermath of a school that had taught their children how to use and sell drugs.
Things were never going to be the same.
2. It was the fourth day in a row that her children came home with unfamiliar toys. When she asked where they came from, she was surprised to hear that the children bought them from their principal.
A. It was the fourth day in a row that her children came home with unfamiliar toys. When she asked where they came from, she was surprised to hear that the children bought them from their principal. She pointed out that they didn’t have any money when they went to school.
“But Mommy, Mr. P said we didn’t need any money. He just wanted a little favor.”
Her stomach sunk. She could feel the blood flooding heat into her face, throbbing in her neck and forehead. “A favor? What kind of favor?”
3. Even knowing it was against district policy, he couldn’t help himself. He began selling things to the students, small things at first, then bigger and bigger.
A. Even knowing it was against district policy, he couldn’t help himself. He began selling things to the students, small things at first, then bigger and bigger. He knew he was in trouble when he sold a 3D TV to a 15-year-old. Because that’s when the phone calls started. That’s when the parents started taking notice of what he was doing and had already done.
The two policemen waiting in front of the school when he arrived Monday morning were the nails in his coffin. He saw them standing there, and something in him broke free.
He didn’t give himself time to hesitate.
