"I'm getting pretty tired of your insolence, young lady," Sister Nora snapped as they walked to the Mother Superior's office, "how many detentions is that, ten or eleven?!?" It sounded like a rhetorical question so Zoey just kept her mouth shut and kept walking, while Sister Nora, who was just plain tired of Zoey's insults and general bad behavior, shook her head in disgust at Zoey's continued inability to conform to Mercy High's code of conduct!!! "Well, now it's out of my hands," Sister Nora offered as they entered Mother Superior Judith's outer office, "hello, Sister Grace, is the Mother Superior busy!?!" "She's on the phone, but it shouldn't be too long," the receptionist secretary replied, "is there something I can help you with!?!" "It's Zoey, again," Sister Nora replied while nodding at still smug teenager, "I've warned her so many times, and now I've just had it!!!" After giving Zoey a cool long look, Sister Grace replied, "She can wait over in the corner, I'll buzz the Mother Superior when she's off the phone, in the mean time you can return to your class!!!" With a grateful sigh Sister Nora thanked Sister Grace, and with a backward glance at Zoey, headed back to her class!!! "So," Sister Grace said, "you just can't seem to stay out of trouble can you!?!" "Uh, I guess trouble must be my middle name," Zoey shot back flippantly!!! "We'll see about that," the Sister replied, "we'll see about that!!!"

Ten minutes later Zoey found herself standing in front of the immense oak desk of Mother Superior Judith, and even she was a little intimidated by the regal aura surrounding the head of the school!!! After glancing at Zoey's record, MS Judith observed, "Since your freshman year it's been one scrape after another, don't you ever learn, you're a senior for god sakes, you're supposed to be setting an example for the younger girls!!!" Know she was treading on thin ice, Zoey still couldn't help herself when she shot back, "I am setting an example, it just happens to be a bad one, that's all!!!" While shaking her head from side to side, MS Judith opined, "Just as I thought, no remorse what so ever, well young lady, this time you're going to have to pay the price!!!" As Zoey looked on with a slight smirk on her face, MS Judith buzzed Sister Grace and said, "Bring it in, we have no other choice!!!"
