"Actually, I've had some other ideas," Tommy Hawk paused for a moment before saying to Ottilia Farrell, "Some bolder ideas, but I'm not sure if the school would support me. After all, there's no precedent for this at Lincoln High School, and it might make the principal think that I am unscrupulous in trying to get into a good college."
Ottilia frowned slightly at the word 'unscrupulous' before responding, "You are simply working hard to get into the college of your dreams, why use the word unscrupulous? It's perfectly normal for students to aspire to be admitted into their preferred prestigious universities, and the principal should be pleased with your ambition, Tommy. As long as you aren't doing something wrong, like kidnapping a college's principal to get admitted, he won't think so poorly of his own students."
