Jon laughed and looked surprised. Simon reached out and shook his hand, and Deborah actually leaned in and hugged him.
"Alright students, the Student of the Year has been named. We're going to be talking with Jon now in Principal Casey's new office to discuss his next course of action and see if any disciplinary actions are needed. Faculty, if a student wishes to come and speak with us to discuss their behavior towards Jon please allow it." With that Simon reached down and shut off the recorder, and then hung up the phone another chime heard around the school informed all that the announcement was completed. Jon moved over to one of the plush chairs across from the couch and settled down.
"You know Principal Davison, you should let Principal Casey and I handle the rest of this. You know how you can get around some of these students; I think it's best if we let the students focus on Principal Casey as the voice of correction." Jon suggested and shrugged, "Although I would appreciate if you could contact Biff Meadows parents and ask them to come to school immediately. I would inform them that Biff attacked another student and you need to discuss with them the serious situation he's in. Just let me know when they get here and then I'll join you."
Simon nodded, "Of course Jon that makes sense." He looked over to Deborah and smiled, "Well good luck Deborah, I'll help out with the Meadows and then I need to get over to MY school." He chuckled and gave a wave. "Jon I'll let you know when the Meadows have arrived, I'll be setup in the counselors office just across from here." With that he left the office and shut the door behind him.
Deborah walked over and settled into the chair next to Jon. She glanced at him and smiled again this time more relaxed, "So Jon, what are your plans? Obviously Biff Meadows is being dealt with but who else is on your list?"
Jon looked thoughtful for a long moment, "I think I'm going to give people a chance to apologize. I'm not saying that an apology will completely clear them from any concerns, but I think before I just start dishing out justice I should listen first."
Deborah blinked and her smile grew, "Jon that is incredibly noble of you, though I'm not sure everyone will want to "
A beep on the phone at the desk and on the phone on the coffee table in front of them signaled a message from Ms. Stern the secretary. Deborah raised an eyebrow and looked to Jon amused, "Perhaps I spoke too soon." She leaned forward with activated the speaker phone, "Yes Ms. Stern?"
The happy voice of Debbie Stern came through the speaker, "Principal Casey, I have quite a few students out here that want to speak with Mr. Madison and yourself, and they are VERY insistent that I let them in." As she spoke the students that all clamored around her desk could be heard in the background as they talked to each other.
Deborah sighed and nodded, "Ms. Stern please inform the students that if they wish to speak with Mr. Madison and I they must quiet down, and I want you to get all of their names, and then bring them in here." She hit the mute button on the phone and looked to Jon, "I assume you won't mind having a list before we start seeing people at random Jon?"
Jon shook his head and smiled, "No no that's a great idea actually. Though out of curiosity, I would like to talk with Sarah McMillan first if she's out there."
Deborah nodded and released the mute button. "And Ms. Stern, please see if Sarah McMillan is one of the students and have her come in please. Once you have the list bring it in to me and we'll select the order for the students after."
"Alright Ma'am I'll send Sarah if she is here right now and get you that list as soon as I can." Ms. Stern hung up her phone.
Deborah looked over at Jon and raised an eyebrow, "Sarah McMillan, so what are you suggesting for the queen of the cheerleaders Jon?"
Jon smiled, "Well it's very important to me that I resolve some of the major attitude problems here at school, and Sarah is one of the largest. She encourages the cheerleaders and the jocks to treat everyone else like crap. She's also Biff's partner in crime, the punishment that I think is most important for her would be "
