Class Teacher- What is this I'm hearing from everyone? You and Melvin were dating? He broke up with you? What all this nonsense? Are you finally giving in to stupidity like all your useless friends? Hmm? Talk to me Alice. what's happening?

Alice- Its just some rumors ma'am. the girls are simply jealous of me. there was nothing going on between us. gossip is an everyday thing.

Class teacher- well , keep your eyes open sweetheart. Amy is not your friend. do you think she will care if you fail this class or end up in the streets or die in a well?

Alice- not at all mam.

Class teacher- i don't get why you still tolerate her after knowing this. just leave her you know. i used to have plenty of flies like her around me back in high school and college. i just shut them out and searched for better friends and eventually found them. trust me it's better to hang out with people who don't suck the life out of you every chance they get. i know this sounds very mean cause you're her bff but reality is that she only hangs out with people when she needs something from them and unfortunately i can't fix that behavior. it's her innate trait.

Alice- ...i know.

Class teacher- Listen carefully girl. I'll bear everything ..... every single thing but losing a star student like you? it's not something I'll tolerate. You understand me?

Alice- yes ma'am.

Class teacher- You need to pick up your game Alice. Ok? Kids look up to you... they might not say it, but they mean it. even kids like Amy. you are a role model but you need to be more proactive and choose your friends wisely.

Alice- ok.

class teacher- Ah by the way, the maths teacher wants you to focus more on your studies from now on. he told me he gave you grace marks this time cause you have worked hard on his assignment. even he likes you this much at such a short time which is crazy cause he barely talks to any teachers other than me... but that's not our concern right now. see, the finals will be tough and you won't be getting grace marks at that time. high school is very important and your grades will decide your college. i know you have dreams Alice. stay on your path. be steady.

Alice- yes ma'am.

class teacher- you may leave now. and send the next student in please....

[Alice leaves while glaring at the math teacher who stares back at her from his cubicle. leaving the room she meets Damian but he doesn't talk. he enters by brushing against her hands and smiles at her. she smiles back. alice goes to a washroom and coincidentally comes across Amy.]

Amy- Alice? What's the deal? Why she called you?

Alice- just some work about the captain duty and lack of a male captain.

Amy- Uhuh.... Wait... so she was deciding who's gonna be the next captain?

Alice- yeah she was.

Amy- so who's it gonna be? Lucas? Mikey? Conrad?

Alice- i have no clue. what's going on in class? i heard Mrs. Devon is absent today. is there a substitute teacher this time?

Amy- yeah. she's young. all the guys are busy swooning at her instead of taking notes.

Alice- really?... hahaha.

Amy- crazy right?

Alice- I heard you beat up Melvin real good.

Amy- haha nice joke.

Alice- he didn't beat you up and neither you did him. then why did you get suspended?

Amy- ugh... i don't know. principal hates me too i guess.

Alice- ohh Melvin is going somewhere. hey...

Melvin- I'm busy....

(Melvin quickly walks away)

Amy- damn someone's in a hurry. guess it's a nature's call.

Alice- yeah.

Amy- oh wait...he's going to the staff room...

Alice- probably captainship and stuff... who cares.

Amy- Gosh you are soooo lucky... i wish i was a captain too.

Alice- You wish..?

Amy- No seriously.... look at all the respect and love you get. The teachers can totally pardon anything you do.... even when guys talk to girls inappropriately or hit them. the principal forgives them with just a slap on the wrist and all crimes get legal as long as captains get the good scores in all the subjects and uphold the school values.

Alice- you know that Melvin lost his captainship right? if you want it then the school can get rid of him.

Amy- he should lose captainship. it's deserved.

Alice- i know but I'm pretty sure you guys just had a rough play in class and lots of arguments. ain't no way Ms. Yves didn't see you guys throw hands.

Amy- that's cause she's a blind bitch.

Alice- don't say that.

Amy- what? chill out .... geez what's with all the tension dude? Are you finally coming out or something?

Alice- coming out?

Amy- As a lesbian? Are you finally revealing that you're a lesbian?

(Alice feels like slapping her but instead she controls her anger by putting her hands her in her pockets.)

Alice- Why would I do that?

Amy- I don't know... you always sound clueless and serious both at the same time. Then you keep staring at me like you wanna say something. it's really odd ok.

Alice- .....maybe i am a weirdo. does that hurt?

Amy- ....

Alice- ....

Amy- that's a fucked up thing to say. you are honestly such a creep. stay away from me.

Alice- you already spread enough shitty gossip around. this one won't add anymore wound than what's already circulating.

Amy- what?

Alice- you think I'm stupid. that i can't see you bitching behind my back cause you secretly like Melvin? just grow up Amy. there's more in world than trying to steal your friends boyfriend.

Amy- i stole your boyfriend? are you fucking high right now?-

Alice- too bad you couldn't do it though. i left him before it could happen. he must have told you. you two deserve each other honestly. two trashes in one bucket.

Amy- and what about you? you think you can walk away just being all high and mighty? you think you're better than us? you think i didn't see what you with the math teacher.

(Alice gets a chill in her spine and blood curdling anger but she once again controls it.)

Alice- what did i do to hurt you this time?

Amy- i saw you... i saw you both..

Alice- you saw us both what?

Amy- i saw you taking to him about your grades that day. you just talked to him and he fixed your marks just like that? i bet you didn't mind giving him a blowjob.

Alice- you can do it too. just ask him to fix where he didn't give you the score and he will fix your grades too.

Amy- don't pretend to me Alice. i know you are a slut. and nothing can change that.

Alice- all this trash talk cause i left Melvin for a better guy? why are you wasting your time with me Amy? are you in love with me or something?

Amy- Damian is not yours. he will leave you when he learns your truth.

Alice- you tell him. i bet he will listen to your bitching just like Melvin does. Melvin is a bitch himself no wonder he entertains girls like you.

Amy- he's better than snakes like you Alice.

Alice- you are lucky i didn't bite you yet.

Amy- oh yeah do it. come at me. you think I'm scared? fucking cunt.

Alice- bye bitch.

(Amy runs before her and shows the middle finger back at Alice and goes back to the classroom. Alice stops and goes to a washroom to wash her face before getting back to class. after she comes to the classroom she finds it empty and Damian is the only guy sitting at a corner.)

Alice- where is everyone?

Damian- they went to the games room.

Alice- we should go too.

Damian- i don't feel like it.

Alice- that's too bad.

Damian- don't leave.

(Alice sits next to him and holds his hand tight. Damian smiles and kisses her cheek. Alice smiles back.)

Alice- can you help me with trigonometry?

Damian- whaaat? Alice Jones is bad at math.

Alice- no one is perfect, duffer.

Damian- hahaha..... ok..

(Damian proceeds to help her on math until the period ends and the students return to class.)
