Chapter 1 - The First Clash
"Stand still. You can't even follow one simple instruction."
"I was just trying to pick up my pencil, Ms. Vance! You didn't even let me explain!"
"Explain what, Leo? That rules don't apply to you? Every single day it’s the same excuse, the same defiance."
"I'm not defying you! Why are you always hitting the desk like that? It scares me!"
"It’s called discipline, young man. Something your parents clearly forgot to teach you before sending you here."
"Don't talk about my mom! Leave her out of this!"
"Watch your tone with me, Leo. Or this wooden ruler won't just be tapping the wood next time."
"Go ahead then! Hit me! Show everyone what you really do when the door is closed!"
"Quiet down, Leo! Do not raise your voice in my classroom. Look at the wall. Look at the lens."
"I don't care about the security camera! It doesn't even work anyway!"
"Oh, it works, Leo. And it records audio too. Every single rebellious word you just said."
"Then let it record! Let them hear how you treat me every single day!"
"You think you’re the victim here? You have no idea what kind of trouble you just invited into your life."
"I'm not scared of you, Ms. Vance. And I'm definitely not scared of that camera."
"We will see how brave you feel when the principal pulls up today's footage during your suspension hearing."
"My mom is going to see that tape. And she won't just listen to your lies."
"Your mother signed the behavioral waiver on day one, Leo. The school always protects the staff."
"Not when the tape shows you cornering an eight-year-old child with a weapon."
