I never got into trouble really. I was very self conscious about my appearance and what others thought about me in school and I never wanted to draw negative attention to myself so I was a wimp for the most part.
Buut once in Electronics II I said I was going to get a drink before class started to the teacher. He said well if you don't make it back before the bell rings then you'll be tardy. I said ok, we get 5 per semester, I don't even have 1, so I'll risk it. Well I went to get a drink and sure enough I was late on the way back with 2 of my classmates. The teacher wouldn't let us in the door! I was like ok, what now then. He said we had to write sentences as a punishment. I said wait, you said we'd get a tardy, you didn't say we would be punished. So the teacher said to write "I will not be late for class over a drink" 100 times. Well the 3 of us were pissed so we took 1 sheet of paper out and wrote "I will not be late for a class one hundred times" on it and gave it to him and he sent all 3 of us to the principal's office ha ha ha ha ha
When we got there the principal talked to us and I was like hey guess what, I've never been tardy to any class, ever, in my 12 years of school, this is the first one, and I knew I might be late but risked it. And she said to go back to class and tell him that, so I did, and that was it.
The other time I got in trouble was over something stupid but funny. One time I drove my grandpa's truck to school. It was a 1973 Chevy Super 10 Cheyenne and had straight pipes for exhaust. The ricers in their 2000 S10s were revving up to 7,000 RPMs after school one day so I floored it going by them, got up to about 30-40 MPH in the parking lot on the way out. Then one of the top admin staff (sorta like an assistance principal) caught me on the way out and flagged me down. He said, "Son, I don't wanna see you driving this truck here for a week."
So the next day I got my brother to drive us to school ha ha ha ha. On the way out after school the same guy stopped us and was like "Son I told you not to drive this truck to school for 1 week." And I said "That's my twin brother, I'm not driving, just like you said." And then he said "why don't you come to the principal's office tomorrow morning and we'll handle it right there." Well I told my parents the story and they were mildly disappointed in me, but I admitted that I made a stupid decision, and I DIDN'T in fact drive the truck to school (my brother did), so they were gonna go to the school with me and talk to the assistant principal. We go in the next morning and the AP is like I told you not to drive the truck for 1 week and you drove it anyway. And I said that was my brother, not me. And he said well sometimes The Hand of God touches more than 1 person during a punishment. My stepmom was like "Hold on, who said anything about God, don't be ridiculous -- you told him not to drive the truck, he didn't, and that's the end of it. They are twins, but they're not the same person, you need to be more clear with your punishment next time. Are we done?" We were done. I've never been more proud of my parents.
