Much has been said about Principal Abacus Cinch. She has been called heartless, cruel, narcissistic. And in many ways, all of that is true. But there is more to Principal Cinch than all of that. Crystal Prep Academy has been her life's work, and she knows it. She knows its walls, its corridors, its history. And she knows her students. Every single one of them. And she remembers exactly what she did to make them all the high performers that they are today.

Above all else, Principal Cinch is known for applying pressure to her students. And to a lot of people, that may seem like a bad thing. But pressure makes diamonds.
