C’est le premier jour de la rentrée scolaire et Chantal se trouve devant le bureau du Directeur. Pourquoi est-ce que Chantal, normalement une très bonne élève, est devant le bureau du Directeur ? Voici pourquoi.
Pendant les grandes vacances Chantal a fêté son seizième anniversaire. Elle a reçu beaucoup de cadeaux. Mais le cadeau qu’elle a le plus apprécié venait de son oncle, Philippe, qui vit à New York. Il avait envoyé un nouveau téléphone portable pour sa nièce favorite.
Chantal était très contente. Avec son portable, elle pouvait faire des photos, envoyer des e-mails, écouter de la musique et faire des vidéos. Chantal a décidé de l’amener à l’école. Elle voulait que ses amies le voient et qu’elles soient jalouses.
Alors, elle met son portable dans son sac et l’amène à l’école. Mais, gros malheur, le téléphone qu’elle avait oublié d’éteindre a sonné pendant un test de Math. Elle était assise devant le professeur; alors il a su tout de suite que c’était son portable qui avait sonné. «Mlle Lefèvre, vous savez que les téléphones cellulaires sont interdits dans cet établissement. Vous allez voir le directeur tout de suite.»
