Perl won't stay out of trouble

← Back

Pearl Accardi, it seemed, despite being an honor student just couldn't stay out of trouble. It seemed every other week she was back in your office on some minor violation or another, and every time it would seem like the same thing.

"It seems Pearl Accardi is back," Ms. Varano would tell you. "I know the guidelines call for an escalation even with minor infractions, but, well, she IS our best honor student, and this was a very minor violation."

Every single time it was a fairly minor violation. You were tempted to wonder whether or not someone had it in for the poor girl. Or, more likely, maybe she was doing it on purpose. She was in your office every other week like clockwork, just long enough between punishments to avoid an immediate escalation. With the workload you faced with all the other girls you had to punish, she actually managed to get away with this routine for quite a while.

Before you noticed

• 3rd week, coming back to class a little late from lunch
• 5th week, wearing normal socks instead of the school uniform stockings
• 7th week, not paying attention, again

When you figured it out

• 9th week, causing a minor disruption in class
• 11th week, running back to class
