Advil
By: carmelia
My 9th grade year of high school I was suspended for giving my
friend Advil. Apparently my principle and administrators
claim that I could’ve killed one of my peers by doing
this. I highly doubt someone can die from taking one Advil
unless they have an allergy for it. My journey of getting
suspended all started in the cafeteria of Westlake High
School, when my friend was telling me that he had a terrible
headache. So I took it upon myself to tell him that I had
Advil in the nurse’s office that I could get him. So we
both left the cafeteria and went down to the nurse’s
office. When I walked in I told the nurse I have bad cramps
and asked for the Advil my mom left me in the office for the
whole school year. She gave me a cup of water and a pill and
walked back to her desk. I then stuck the pill in my pocket
and drank the cup of water. Instead of her watching me take
the pill she went back to her computer which is against
policy. She can get fired for administering medication to a
student and not watch them take it. So once I walked out the
office I gave my friend Miles the Advil and he stuck it in
this mouth and we both walked out the office. Shortly down
the hallway we were stopped by an administrator who called
both of us back to the office. Mr. Brooks, the administrator
asked what did I gave Miles before we left the main office. I
simple said candy and looked at Miles, who dumbly said I gave
him a note. From that point on they knew we were lying.
Instead of Miles going along with the lie, he switches it up
and makes both of us look guilty. We both follow Mr. Brooks
back to the nurse’s office and discuss what went on.
After being questioned by 5 different staff members and the
principle I finally gave in and told them the truth of what
happened. Even though they really didn’t have concrete
evidence of me giving Miles the Advil, only someone saying
they saw him put something in his mouth when leaving the
nurses office. But being the person that I am gave up and came
out with the truth. After confessing what happened Miles and I
sat there patiently waiting for the punishment to begin. They
called my name first to my vice principals office and called
my mom. When my mom finally answered the phone Mr.
O’bannon the vice principal begin to explain to my mom
what he was calling in regards to. Instead of him just telling
her what happened he made me sound like I was a drug dealer.
He started off with saying “ hello this is Mr.
O’Bannon the 9th grade vice principal I’m calling
in regards to your daughter Carmelia Johnson, I have her hear
in my office because she was seen soliciting substances to one
of her peer and I wanted to make you aware that she is being
suspended to the super intended and will need have a meeting
with the board in 10 day regarding her return to Westlake High
School. He could've just said I gave my friend Miles
Advil instead of making it seem worst then what it is. So
later that day when I got home I begin to explain to my mom
that it’s not what it seems like I only gave him Advil.
The whole time she was thinking that I was at school selling
Marijuana which wasn't the case. After we talked about
everything she understood were I was coming from and we
patiently waited for my hearing with the board of Education.
