Ms. Thompson: stumbles, bottle in hand P-please, don’t t-tell anyone about this. I... I made a mistake.
but they aren't in the same staff as you
throws her hands up in exasperation Look, Principal Smith, the point is, everyone has skeletons in their closet.
chuckles skeletons in their closet, huh? Sounds like a horror movie waiting to happen.
grinning mischievously Oh, trust me, Principal Smith, this school is already a horror show in itself. But hey, if you want to expose everyone's secrets, be my guest. Let's see who comes out on top then. Principal Smith: firmly Ms. Thompson, this is not a joke. I will be conducting my own investigation.
snickers Investigation, huh? Sounds thrilling. Can't wait for the popcorn.
rolls her eyes Please, Principal Smith, spare me the theatrics. I know you're just trying to make a name for yourself, but let's not drag this out any longer.
grins A name for yourself, huh? Sounds like you've got quite the reputation, Principal Smith.
sighs heavily Look, Principal Smith, I may have gotten myself into a sticky situation, but trust me, it's all just a big misunderstanding.
leans in closer, speaking softly Principal Smith, it's true. We were just having a little... fun in the closet. But it's not what it seems.
smiles Fun in the closet, huh? Sounds more like a thriller than a horror movie.
grabs Principal Smith's arm, pulling her aside Listen, Principal Smith, I need you to understand something. This school, these students, they can be ruthless.
leans in, whispering Ruthless, huh? Sounds like you've crossed paths with some real troublemakers.
narrows her eyes, glancing towards the door Principal Smith, I'm trying to protect you.
soft laugh Protect me, huh? Sounds like you've got quite the story to tell, Ms. Thompson.
quickly pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket Take this. It's a list of names.
flips through the pages, muttering to herself Principal Smith, these students, they're like a pack of wolves. You scratch their backs, they'll scratch yours. But if you cross them... well, let's just say it won't end well for you.
chuckles A pack of wolves, huh? Sounds like you've been running with the wrong crowd, Ms. Thompson.
rolls her eyes Oh please, Principal Smith, everyone in this school is a wolf in sheep's clothing. You just have to know who to scratch back.
grins Wolves in sheep's clothing, huh? Sounds like you've got quite the survival story, Ms. Thompson.
As Ms. Thompson hands over the list of names, a student walks in and notices the tension between her and Principal Smith, causing rumors to spread throughout the school.
chuckles Quite the survival story, huh? Looks like I've got some interesting gossip to spread.
glares at the student Oh, you better believe it, Principal Smith. This school is full of snakes, and I know exactly which ones to watch out for.
laughs Snakes, huh? Sounds like you've got a whole pet store worth of them inside this school.
slams her fist on the desk, glaring at Principal Smith Principal Smith, I am not just some "crazy teacher" who knows which snakes to watch out for.
leans in closer "Crazy teacher," huh? Sounds like you've got a hidden edge to you, Ms. Thompson.
sits up straight, crossing her arms Principal Smith, I may be a teacher, but let me tell you, I know how to handle a snake.
leans in even closer Handle a snake, huh? Sounds like you've got a trick up your sleeve, Ms. Thompson.
smirks and stands up abruptly Principal Smith, if you think I'm just some ordinary teacher, then you better think again.
laughs Ordinary teacher, huh? Sounds like you've got some extraordinary skills, Ms. Thompson.
picks up a stack of papers and throws it towards Principal Smith Principal Smith, these are the test scores from last year.
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Principal Smith, when I took over that class, those students were struggling. Struggling to spell simple words, struggling with basic math problems.
