Kat: :*

Star: They did, actually.

Maverick: I know. But that doesn’t mean she’s getting out of it. You have to stick up for the underdog without getting caught, Kati.

Alessa: JAMESON! That is not the point here. The point is you can’t go around spitting at people.

Star: Some people need to be spat on.

Maverick: I agree.

Alessa: You’re all animals.

Conor: I resent that.

Star: Okay, no cartwheels outside of the gym and no Switch for a week. How about that, Alessa?

Alessa: I think that’s as good an outcome as you’re capable of giving, Star.

Kat: That’s horrible. I was doing a nice thing!

Conor: For the lunch lady.

Star: Where did you spit on the kid, anyway?

Kat: Got him right in the eye. Teehee.

Conor: I can tell you’re stricken with guilt.

Kat: What does stricken mean?

Conor: It means plagued with it. Burdened by it.

Kat: Oh, yes. I am. Very much so. And next time, I promise I won’t get caught.

Maverick: Not that there’ll be a next time…

Kat: Right. Of course, there won’t. I’ll do better, Alessa, I swear.

Alessa: Why don’t I believe you?

Star: Because you’re a smart woman.

Alessa: Sigh. I want more than a promise of doing better, Katina. You’ve been given a wonderful opportunity at that school. I have to go through a special course just to get a general education certificate so that I can go to college.

Alessa: You’re very lucky, and if you get suspended or expelled for behaving like an animal, then think about how disrespectful it is to Star, for paying your fees, and to me, who can never have an opportunity like you’re throwing away.

Kat: I’m sorry, Lessie. <3 I never thought of it that way. I promise I won’t be reckless again. Thank you for everything. xoxoxoxoxo I’ll try to be a good girl from now on. <3

Star: And try to get that B in English up to an A, yeah? Otherwise, I’ll never hear the end of it from Savannah.

Kat: I’ll try. <3 <3 <3

Star: Good girl. So… five days of no Switch. ;P

Maverick: I see what you did there. Soft touch. Still, I agree.

Maverick: That’s a fitting punishment. ;)
