The sheer nerve of some teenagers

I wrote last week about 3 members of the Baking Club raiding my snacks and sitting back in my prep room on the couch talking. 2 of the 3 are former students of mine who know better than to mess with me. There has been a boy who comes into my classroom every morning before school to talk to his friends. I didn't mind. I spend from 7-7:15am standing out in the halls with other teachers talking and supervising. I waited about a minute after the bell rang this morning before going into my room. All of a sudden the prep room door burst open and this random kid walks out. I was shocked. I was like "what do you think you are doing? Why are you in my prep room?" I asked him 3 times and all I could get was "I have to go". I have no clue who this kid is. I called the main office and asked them to have safety review the camera footage to see who walked out of my room after the bell. I wound up having to go down to their office to point out the specific student. I watched the security guy scroll through all of the cameras and I was shocked. Apparently we have over 140 of them in the building! Anyway I showed the guy which kid it was and he said he was going to work on tracking him down. I didn't hear anything today but I will follow up with safety tomorrow. It is a science prep room. There isn't anything particularly dangerous in there (aside from my snacks and Keurig) but the kid doesn't know that. It is shared between biology and anatomy & physiology classes so there could be chemicals, scalpels, pins, etc. in there. I'm glad there aren't.
