Cassandra Blaze: smirking Big night, huh? Guess who's ready to spill the tea and roast those snakes!
interrupting Oh, save it, hun! I already know what's up. You think anyone here hasn't heard the whispers about your little scandal?
…that i had a crush on one of my teachers and he gave me attention as in noticed me as my teacher.
leans in closer Oh, honey, that's cute and all, but you can't expect to keep your dirty little secret hidden forever.
I don’t know how it got out.
laughs mockingly Secret? Please, sweetheart, secrets are like band-aids on an open wound. They might cover it up temporarily, but the truth always finds its way out.
she says it was probably someone who hates me so they made up this lie.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Trying to shift the blame now? That's classic Move, straight out of a high school drama.
leans back, crossing her arms Look, babe, I'm not buying your sob story.
she knows me so well she knows when i’m lying.
raises an eyebrow Is that so? Well, let's see if we can uncover the real tea, shall we? pulls out her phone
she tries to calm me down before things get crazy.
waves her hand dismissively Calm? Honey, calm is not going to solve anything! We need to find out who's behind this and put them in their place!
she knows im scared. she asks do you want to leave?

looking at Cassandra But it could hurt my reputation...
gives the Stranger a reassuring smile Honey, your reputation will survive this. What matters is justice.
she smiles at her, knowing her reputation is already hurt because of her race and sexuality.
takes out her phone and starts typing furiously Alright, we're gonna hit them hard and fast.

jumps up and down Oh my god, look at this! People are actually supporting us! This is amazing!
