Note: you will not find these regulations in Hewitt’s handbook. These are the unspoken rules that everyone should know or come to know.

10. You’re only allowed in the fishbowl if you have a broken limb.

9. Middle schoolers are notorious for charging through Hewitt halls, so don’t leave your school bag next to the 8th grade lockers. Your already-cracked Dell will be pulverized.

8. Speaking of 8th grade lockers, find another way to get to class than through the locker-filled library hallway; otherwise, you’ll be late to class.

7. The Stacks room is for upperclassmen.

6. Get to Baked at Break early; you do not want to get caught in the stampede of ravenous Hewitt girls.

5. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t want anyone else to hear if you are in the mezzanine. That gap between the floors is wide enough to let everyone in the library know how your day has unfolded.

4. Don’t talk about or do anything that would cause an awkward explanation if a tour comes by. If you have a good eye and spot the tour coming your way, immediately switch topics.

3. Don’t ask about when the new town house will be ready because chances are, you’ll have already graduated.

2. Don’t steal the snacks in the library that have been set up for an event or meeting: Ish will find you.

1. Don’t even try to walk through the gym during a PE class. You’ll either be forced to turn around or get hit with a flying basketball.
