Ms. Pawłowska: *cheerily* “Well, I guess I’ll get back to my office.  A school councilor’s job is never done!” Ms. Flores: *frantic whispering* “Vesna, don’t you dare leave now!” Ms. Pawłowska: *with a wink* “Have a pleasant afternoon Leanna, Ms. Hassan...Coach.”

Coach Pakeha: “Hello, Ms. Flores... did you have a good weekend?” Ms. Flores: “...ah...yes...it was great...how about you?” Coach Pakeha: *speaking quietly* “Ms. Flores, Leanna, I wanted to speak with you about...well, about what happened at the dance.” Ms. Flores: “The goat?” Coach Pakeha: “Not the goat...before the goat.  In the supply room.  I, well, I was going to kis-”

Ms. Hassan: *clearing throat pointedly*

Coach Pakeha: *hesitates uncomfortably* “Ah, maybe we could talk after fifth period.  Are you free?” Ms. Flores: “Yes... I’m free.” Coach Pakeha: “Alright then...”

*charged silence*

*back at the school*

Jason: “Damn it, stop playing around and catch it!” Archi: “I don’t need you telling me my business!  There!  Got it!” Goat: *lunges forward* “MMEEEEEHHHH!” Archi: “Yaahhhh!”

Jason: “Here!  Hold on!” *dives for the goat* Archi: “Don’t interfere!  This requires finesse not brute stren- Ooff!”  

Archi: “Get off you clumsy oaf!” Jason: “Stop thrashing!  It’s your fault it got away!”

Poppy: “You can stop playing around, boys.  I’ve got it!” *both boys cursing at each other under their breaths - Archi elbows Jason in the ribs, hard, and Jason crushes Archi’s hand beneath his knee* Coach: “Where did it come from?” Ms. Flores: “What a night…”

Mr. Brzenzinski: *sigh* “Two more years and I can retire then no more forced chaperoning at these troublesome school events.  You know, in my time we didn’t waste school money on frivolities, kids would just hang out in the woods and...” Ms. Flores: *watching the door - distracted* “Mm hmm, how interesting...” *nervous gasp* Coach: “Hello, Ms. Flores.” Ms. Flores: “You’re here!” *striving to sound casual* “...I mean, you’re here.” Coach: “I am and I hope you don’t think it’s inappropriate if I say you look lovely.” Ms. Flores: *voice suddenly small and breathless* “No...no, I don’t think that's...inappropriate...”

Archi: “...she hates me.” Ocean: “She doesn’t hate you. Poppy is a very passionate person and when her temper is up it takes a bit for it to quiet down again.” Archi: “To be honest, I’m not even sure what happened.  One minute we were fine and the next ‘kaboom’.” Ocean: “You could have done anything and she would have found a reason to cool things off between you.  She’s gun shy.  Commitment is tough for her - but you’re a special guy, Arch, she’ll come around.” Luke: *clears throat* “Dance now?” Ocean: “Let me just help you clear your plate then I’m ready!”

Coach: “Maybe in one of those lower shelf boxes.” Ms. Flores: “I’ve looked in all three.  I think Mr. Chuchichästli was wrong.  Maybe up in the front office….” *trails off as he leans in* Coach: *inhaling slowly* “Ms. Flores, what is that scent you’re wearing?”

Ms. Flores: *whispers* “It…it’s nothing fancy…” Coach: “It’s intoxicating.”

*he leans closer, his eyes riveted on hers and she catches her breath in delicious anticipation*

- “AAHHHHHHHHH!!” -

Coach: *standing quickly* “What was that?!?”

*kissing kissing*

Ocean: *whispering* “Luke, let’s go somewhere…where we can be alone.” Luke: *swallows* “Are…are you sure?” Ocean: “I’m sure.” Luke: “Come on then.”

Ms. Flores: “Mr. Chuchichästli said there were more cups here.” Coach: “Did he give you any idea where to look?” Ms. Flores: *sighing* “This is Mr. Chuchichästli we’re talking about.  He’s vague with the details.” Coach: “Well, let’s start on this side of the room and work our way across.”

(music - cause it came on spotify while I was editing and it’s perfect)

Ms. Flores: “I told you, Dwayne, no schnapps in the punch!  If I see even a hint of a bottle you’ll be cleaning erasers until graduation!” *kids snickering*

Coach: “You handled that well.” Ms. Flores: “They’re good kids, they just need a firm hand sometimes.” Coach: *thoughtful* “You’re full of surprises, Ms. Flores.”

Ocean: “You’re good at this.” Luke: “It’s all you, Strawberry.  You make me glide on air.” Ocean: *shyly* “Sweet talker.”

*discordant guitar notes*

Millie: “You know, Jonsey, with that guitar you almost look hot.” Jones: *slyly* “Why do you think I’m in this band?  Ready?”

Darling: *knocking sticks* “ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!”

Luke: *voice raised* “They sound pretty good, actually!” Ocean: “Millie has always had a great voice!”

Ms. Flores: “Wow!  Not bad.”
