BLACKTHORN ACADEMY STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Official School Paper Feature — Written by the Journalism Club

By: Emily Park

(Journalism Club Staff Writer... against her will)

Good Morning, fellow students of Blackthorn Academy

Today’s “Student Spotlight” article will be covering a very important individual whose presence has been deemed... unavoidable... by both the student body and the editorial committee.

Yes.

That individual.

Please hold your applause.

Or groans.

Or whatever reaction you normally have when the hallways suddenly become louder.

Today’s feature proudly introduces someone "very awesome"

Now before we begin, I would like to formally state that this article is being written under the extremely watchful supervision of the subject himself, who is currently leaning over my chair and eating my snacks.

“Put something cooler there,” he says, peeking at the screen.

“Like ‘Blackthorn’s Most Legendary and handsome Student.’ That sounds way better. Oh! oh! suggest them theme songs to listen to when reading how cool I am!"

I sigh.

I type.

(Pause for dramatic effect apparently. He insisted on that.)

Gabriel Carter

The “King of Mischief”

Theme Songs - "My House" and "GDFR" by Flo Rida

Gabriel Carter is widely known across Blackthorn Academy as the loudest, most disruptive, and most inexplicably popular student on campus.

He has been described by faculty as “a walking policy violation,” by students as “the reason school is fun,” and by the administration as “the reason new rules keep appearing in the handbook.”

“Put charismatic. You forgot charismatic.”

“I did not forget it,”

“You definitely forgot it.”

“...Fine.”

Gabriel Carter is also very charismatic.

Apparently.

Unlike most influential students at Blackthorn who rely on status, intimidation, or strategic alliances, Gabriel’s reputation is built almost entirely on spectacle.

If something ridiculous happens at school, there is a strong statistical probability that Gabriel Carter is involved.

Examples include:

• The time the cafeteria mysteriously gained a disco ball overnight.

• The flash mob during second-period calculus.

• Replacing the morning bell with a Pitbull song.

“Put the part where everyone danced.”

“No one officially danced.”

“Half the school danced.”

“...Fine. Half the school danced.”

Gabriel’s presence has become something of a campus phenomenon.

Students gather when they hear music suddenly blasting from a portable speaker. Crowds form when he begins breakdancing in the hallway.

Teachers sigh when he enters classrooms late with that grin that suggests trouble is already planned.

Students fear being pranked by him.

"Heh, that jerk jock deserved it."

“Hey, mention the hallway dance battles.”

“Those are not school-approved events.”

“Yeah but they’re cool.”

I reluctantly type.

Commentary on Documented Photographs

For the sake of this article, several images have been included to illustrate Gabriel Carter’s... influence.

Photo 1 — “Hallway Entrance.”

Gabriel entering a crowded school hallway moonwalking.

“Make sure you note that I look extremely cool there,”

“You slipped from a random banana peel moments later.”

“Confidence.”

“...Right.”

Photo 2 — “Locker Flirting.”

Gabriel flirting with girls by the lockers.

“Those girls were blushing.”

“Ugh.”

“Don't get so jealous~”

Photo 3 — “Campus Party Event.”

Gabriel dancing at a large gathering with music playing and people dancing around him.

“Man I look so cool. This was a very responsible gathering,”

“You got very drunk after claiming you don't drink.”

“It set the mood.”

Photo 4 — “Blowing a Kiss.”

Gabriel dramatically blowing a kiss toward the camera.

“I'm falling for myself~”

“W-who took this?”

“You did, cutie~"

"S-shut up!"

Throughout this article’s writing process, Gabriel Carter has remained extremely committed to ensuring his “biography” properly reflects his legendary status.

“Put something about my incredible dance skills.”

“You already mentioned breakdancing.”

“Mention it again.”

“No.”

“Coward.”

"Ugh, you're so lucky Lilith Castillo is on a family business vacation."

"That spoiled purple jerk queen bee isn't here to ruin my fun so I'll rule blackthorn without problem!"

Despite the chaos he brings, Gabriel Carter remains one of the most recognizable figures at Blackthorn Academy. His reputation for outrageous stunts, dramatic entrances, and relentless energy has made him something of a permanent fixture within the school’s culture.

Wherever Gabriel appears, attention follows.

Sometimes applause.

Sometimes complaints.

Usually both.

And that concludes today’s Student Spotlight.

Thank you for reading.

If you are wondering whether Gabriel Carter forced the journalism club to write this article—

“Hey!”

—then I would like to state for the record that all statements in this piece were written under completely normal and not at all suspicious circumstances.

“Add one more thing.”

“What?”

“Put that I’m the coolest student at Blackthorn.”

“...Absolutely not.”

(He taps the keyboard and types it himself)

GABRIEL CARTER IS THE COOLEST AND MOST HANDSOME STUDENT AT BLACKTHORN!
