I have a lot of good stories. I go to a private Christian school and I'm a good kid, but I have a little thing about challenging authority. Normally I know where to draw the line and typically I stay out of any major trouble, but I've gotten to know all of my school's administration well throughout middle and high school.
It's the end of the first semester, junior year. Choir at my school is a fairly cool thing. We're good, pretty laid back class, tight night group... all that jazz. I'm in choir for the social aspect of things more than anything else. It's been a stressful year so far and we have an hour and a half to end the semester, then it's on to a four-day weekend. I want to blow off some steam, so I talk to some of the other guys and we decide it's funny if we all set our phone alarms to go off at the same time in the middle of class. We spread the word. Mrs. Carruthers hates cell phones in class or during choir functions.
So class is going as normal and Mrs. C is already frustrated at our lack of focus. Levi's phone goes off early... about 35 seconds early. She thinks this is an accident. Takes his phone, does not react well, and we all start to squirm. Then it happens. A couple of phones start to beep and within 10 seconds, we have 15-20 going off. We all think this is hilarious until we see our director's face. Anger, frustration, disappointment, sadness, fury... I can't describe it but we collectively shat in our pants. She collects our phones, starts to tell us how upset she is, starts to cry and tells us she's done for the day and that we can pick our phones up from the Dean of Students after class.
We spend the remainder of class talking about how to improve the focus of our group and fix the problems we have amongst ourselves and with "Choir Mom" Mrs. Doring. I am pretty laid back right now. It was a joke and I know it will blow over after we apologize. It's something we'll laugh about later. No big deal right? This is when some *****es turn into total hypocrits, pointing the finger at me and some others when their phones went off too. Hold yourself accountable, bro. Weak. Anyways, all's good. Class ends, 4-day weekend coming, and I notice that my phone, and others, is sitting on Mrs. C's desk. I'm not leaving it over a long weekend so I take it. It's mine.
I come to school the next week to find a subpoena to the office on my locker. I am told that I had no right to take my phone off of her desk and I should have tried to find her or talk to the principle about it. I tell them I would have missed the bus and I can't leave my phone all weekend and am assigned 2 detentions and 5 hours community service.
I said screw that and served one detention.
