Ha! Detention- what a joke. As if he cared about sitting quietly for an hour or two. Conrad went straight for the roof, listening carefully as he went. With the students and most of the teachers at the opening ceremony, the sound of steps in the hall were obvious. He was careful to keep his hand between his face and the cameras, just in case the footage was glanced over. A single echoing tap sent him hiding around the corner- teacher or rich, he didn't want to see them. Ssssuurrree detention wasn't all that bad here- a rich kid might squirm sitting still for an hour, but to Conrad that could easily be turned into a nap time. However, it wasn't wise to seek out punishment. And it wasn't [i]really[/i] a punishment. They obviously were proposing it as a trade. The consequence, or result, of not attending assembly was to give an hour of your time [b]assuming[/b] that they caught you. And, should you try to cheat the deal, you payed more time. It was a great deal, as long as you didn't step into the extra time. Besides, the assembly couldn't tell him anything he didn't already know.
