The unimaginable has happened – something no one expected. At West Chicago Community High School, it is a well-known rule: no student is allowed to park in Area B. Violators face serious consequences, a warning so effective that few ever test it. But one bold student dared to defy the rule—and now, she must face the fallout.

Ava Pientanza, a standout on the softball team and an otherwise model student, was recently caught parking in the teacher-designated Area B. The person who caught her? Her English teacher, Leslie Fireman, who spotted Pietanza in the act while pulling into the staff lot.

“I was livid,” Fireman said. “There I was, peacefully gliding into my legally designated educator parking spot – a sacred space earned through years of grading essays and writing college rec letters at midnight – when I saw Ava’s car just two spaces away. The nerve of that girl! I nearly spilled my Starbucks tea.”

Fireman said she had never expected this kind of behavior from someone like Pietanza, and could not help but wonder what else the student might be hiding.

“I thought to myself, ‘I had no idea Ava was such a little schemer,'” Fireman said. “Look, I’m not saying she’s assembling a teen villain origin story, but if I see her stroking a cat in a swivel chair during third period next week, I won’t be surprised.”

Fireman was not the only one appalled. One of Pietanza’s longtime classmates, Dylan Kraft, a senior, expressed disbelief at her behavior. He had always seen Pietanza as responsible – until now.

“I think it’s a serious sickness,” Kraft said. “Ava’s done this more than once, and I think it’s really starting to affect the community. She’s known for taking spots from teachers, and I know teachers who are actually angry about it. So I just want to reach out and be like, ‘You need to get a grip on your life and actually park at Kerr.'”

For context: students are expected to park at Kerr, near the library, or on nearby streets—anywhere but the staff lot. Kerr is not far, just a four- to five-minute walk to doors B and H. But when the weather is bad, that walk feels like a journey through the Arctic. Even so, Kraft views Pietanza’s actions unfair, calling it “laziness” and accusing her of trying to skip the most challenging part of the day.

Despite the backlash, Pietanza has shown no signs of remorse. She enjoys not having to walk or park among the student population. Her logic? If she does not get caught, she is not doing anything wrong.

And even after she did get caught, Pietanza remained undeterred. During DEN, she happily returned to her illegally parked vehicle for a full-blown photo shoot—posing in front of her car like a celebrity caught in scandal. Evidently, the infamy only fueled her.

So, dear readers, let this be a lesson – or perhaps, a warning. Not every villain learns their lesson. Sometimes they lean in, strike a pose, and double down. Respect the rules. Respect the educators. And leave the staff spots for those grading your essays.
