Background: Romeo and Mrs.Guarino are in her classroom discussing Romeos punishment for cheating on tests. Mrs.Guarino is Romeo's advisor.

Mrs.Guarino sees Romeo walk by her classroom
Mrs.Guarino: come here Romeo, we have to talk
Romeo: Did Mr. Dykman tell you what's going to happen to me? What do you think will happen?
Mrs. Guarino: yes, I know what he said he told me what is going to happen.
Romeo: well… That that is it terrible?
Mrs. Guarino: considering you cheated on more than 12 test, he was pretty good about it. Instead of getting expelled, you have detention for the rest the school year, and lights out will be right after study hall.
Romeo: you think that is better than being expelled? That is torture, that is child abuse.
Mrs. Guarino: from now on Romeo, you're going to have to start working hard, you're actually going to have to study and not cheat off other people's tests
Romeo: work hard? You think I haven't been working hard? It's not that I'm cheating on purpose, the teachers are not teaching me what I'm supposed to know. I would rather be expelled then have this punishment....
Mrs. Guarino: that is so disrespectful Romeo, I fought to keep you at the school and you don't realize the opportunities that would be taken away from you if you got expelled. Seriously Romeo get yourself together.
Romeo: you think this is going to be easy? Romeo can't hang out with his friends anymore. Romeo can't see his girlfriend. Romeo has to be stuck in the office with Mr. Dykman for hours. Romeo's life is over. Romeo used to be so popular, this is going to ruin Romeo.It would be easier to be expelled. This is going to be too much work and this is awful. I think I would rather be expelled in fact I want to be expelled.
Mrs.Guarino: Will you stop for a second, and listen to me?
Romeo: you're just going talk about the dumb detention again
Mrs. Guarino: it will be OK I will give you my word, you just have to listen.
Romeo: are you serious, all you can talk about is this detention.
Mrs. Guarino: stop it Romeo I'm serious
Romeo: you don't even understand. You think you know it all. But you're not me you don't know how it feels like to be young and have so many detentions. I'm deprived from my friends and a life.
Mrs. Guarino:  call him down somebody's coming up the steps Romeo
Romeo: what do I care, they could know I mad
Mrs.Guarino: Pull yourself together
Romeos friend walks in
James: where is Romeo?
Mrs. Guarino: he is in the back of the classroom
James: Romeo pull yourself together, show you can work hard, we have to go to next class.... We can come back and talk and see if anything can be changed if you prove yourself
MRs.Guarino- thank you James
