Assignment #7

Two weeks ago I ran into a little altercation at my school when I tried to re enter the building without a required pass. I was with my boyfriend, DeVon, and we were both stopped by the hall monitor, Mr.Moore. We were told that we could not re enter the building with out a pass and then asked to call a teacher to verify that we could be admitted. We did so and were allowed back into the building. We did what was asked of us and it seemed as if everything was fine and there were no unresolved issues.
Two days later, Devon and I were approached by our teachers. They expressed concern about our VOICES passes which are only to be used to get out of the building during fourth and fifth hour on VOICES business. They accused us of abusing them and also trying to "sneak" back into the school. Obviously there was a miscommunication somewhere and one of the teachers went to the front desk to clarify what exactly happened. It was indeed just a miscommunication between our teachers and the front desk people.
The next day in class one of the teachers took me to the side and talked to me about what happened. She told me that I was lying and I needed to reevaluate my relationship and who I was because I let Devon lie about what I was doing. When I tried to voice my side of the story, my teacher interrupted me and told me there is no argument and there was no room for dispute. I was extremely upset by this. I felt I was treated unfairly and it was neither her place or was it called for to pass judgment upon me. Especially since throughout this whole situation I showed her no disrespect whatsoever.
Nothing really happened after this. No resolution was reached. I was left feeling defeated and hurt that my character was questioned when I sincerely felt I did nothing wrong and I especially did not lie.
