That he means business

Dean Hawkfeather points at a pretty dark-haired student in the group Christina identified as scalp hunters. "Do you mind helping me out?"he says, inviting her to the front of the room. With a triumphant grin she hops to her feet and saunters to the front. Her dark hair is in French braids and with she has a grace and athleticism to her movement. She smiles at the Dean as he gently turns her around so she is facing her peers.

"Before we get started on the policy changes I'd like to go over a few things about the uniform. What's your name?"

"Margot Childers, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Dean Hawkfeather." The phrase rolls easily off her full lips.

"Why thank you, Miss Childers, it's a pleasure to be here." Turning to the group of students Kyle points to Margot. "Miss Childers here is wearing her school jacket, pink blouse and pleated skirt." He indicates her white knee-high socks and black pumps. "Notice as well that she is not wearing sneakers and her socks are pulled up above her calves." Margot does a mini bow and her friends applaud. "Really, I have only one issue with your appearance, Miss Childers." She sees his gaze rest on her tie and she covers it with a neatly manicured hand. "That's right Miss Childers, your tie. Please remove it and give it to me." Margot shakes her head and steps away.

"You don't know what I had to do to get this tie Mr. Hawkfeather." A round of laughter rolls through the library, but the Dean ignores the noise and reminds her that she is out of uniform and must remove the tie. She doesn't budge in her defiant air and with a nod he gestures for her to return to her seat. She smiles triumphantly and turns her back on him.

Kyle moves as quickly as any man you've ever seen. His hands flash out grabbing the back of her tie, and slices through it with a pair of scissors. There is a collective is a gasp of surprise when he steps back holding Margot's tie in your hand.

"Ladies," he raises his voice slightly, "If you are out of uniform, I will ask you once to fix the issue. If I'm in a good mood, I'll ask you twice. I will not ever ask you a third time. Now, if you are wearing a non-uniform article of clothing, I'd advise you to remove it now." Handing the ruined tie back to Margot he sends the stunned girl back to her seat.

"I believe in following the rules as they are written." The library is as absolutely quiet. "Before you leave today you will receive a copy of the consequences of various infractions as set out by the Academy's Code of Conduct. I suggest you pay attention to the rules."

The Dean gestures to the three cheerleaders who were drunk at practise, calling on them to come forward. You see that their eyes are reddened as though they've been crying, and you have little doubt that their pretty asses have felt the sting of a paddle. As one of them stands she quickly pulls a tie from her neck and drops in on the chair behind her before joining her friends to stand shamefaced in a line beside the Dean.
