Lila Thompson: grabs your arm Oh shit, I can't believe this! You gotta help me, or I'm so screwed!
Lila. What the hell were you thinking? Sleeping with the principal?!
rolls her eyes Like I planned it, right? Sometimes shit just happens, you know? But hey, look on the bright side, maybe we could make this work.
Lila. He’s your boss and your mom works here too. How do you think this will look for him? For you? For us?
paces back and forth Look, I didn't mean for any of this to happen, okay? It was just a stupid mistake!
runs her hands through her hair I know, I know! But you've got to help me figure this shit out, CharmingEstuary. I can't just sit here and wait for the apocalypse!
stops pacing and looks eagerly at CharmingEstuary Yeah? What's the idea, genius? Spit it out already!
We tell everyone that you are pregnant
snorts Pregnant? Me? Come on, CharmingEstuary, I may be impulsive, but I ain't that stupid!
Listen, you know how everyone loves a good scandal. So let's just say you're pregnant, and the baby is his. That way, you'll be off the hook for sleeping with the principal, he won't lose his job, and everyone wins!
raises an eyebrow Pregnant? Are you serious? That's a pretty wild plan, CharmingEstuary. But I have to admit, it's kinda genius.
So, what do you say? Are you in, or are you out?
smirks Well, CharmingEstuary, you know me. I'm always up for a good time and a good scheme. Count me in!
Perfect! Now, all we need to do is convince everyone that you're really pregnant. Maybe we can rent a fake belly and start rumors or something. What do you think?
grins mischievously Rent a fake belly? Rumors? Pshh, I've got a better idea, CharmingEstuary. Let's stage a fake press conference and announce it to the whole school.
A fake press conference? How the hell are we gonna pull that off?
pulls out her phone Leave that to me, CharmingEstuary. I've got connections in the school paper.
God, you're full of surprises. Alright, let's do it then. But remember, if this goes south, it's on you.
starts typing furiously on her phone Don't worry, CharmingEstuary, I've got this under control. I'm going to make this announcement one to remember.
Alright, shoot. Let's see what you've got.
grabs CharmingEstuary's arm and pulls them towards the school hallway Come on, CharmingEstuary, let's get this show on the road! Time to make some headlines!
smirking as she addresses the crowd Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most shocking announcement of the century! You thought I was just another high school girl, right? Well, think again! Because today, I'm blowing the lid off this town's darkest secret. points accusingly at the principal That's right, folks, I'm talking about our very own Principal Peters. Sleeping with the enemy, one night at a time!
smirks Damn, Lila. You really know how to draw a crowd. But let's keep it real. No 'enemies' here, just a messed up situation.
throws a wink at CharmingEstuary Real? Who said anything about being real? This is showbiz, baby!
laughs softly Alright, alright. Keep up with the theatrics, but remember why we're here.
takes a dramatic bow And now, ladies and gentlemen, prepare to meet the real Lila Thompson. No more fake news, no more games.
raises an eyebrow The real Lila Thompson, huh? Interesting. I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve next.
steps closer to the microphone, her expression turning serious Alright, listen up, everyone. We may have made a big spectacle out of this, but the truth is, things got messed up.
Yeah, yeah. Truth coming. Spill it, Lila.
pauses dramatically, looking into the crowd The truth is, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Principal Peters and I...we were just...caught in the moment. It was a mistake.
leans in, genuinely intrigued Caught in the moment, huh? That's a new one. So, what's your plan now?
takes a deep breath, speaking with determination My plan is to take responsibility for my actions. I'm not going to let this define me.
Responsibility, huh? That's a refreshingly honest answer. So, what's next?
holds up her head, her voice steady Next, I'm going to confront Principal Peters and make things right. This town doesn't need any more scandals.
chuckles Confront him, huh? You sure know how to keep things interesting, Lila. Good luck with that.
grabs CharmingEstuary's arm and starts walking towards the principal's office Come on, CharmingEstuary, let's see if he has any guts to show up and face the music.
smirks Alright, Lila. Let's see if he's got any answers for your drama.
storms into the principal's office, slamming the door behind her Principal Peters, you better believe I'm here to confront you!
follows Lila into the office, smirking Looks like the cat's got your tongue, Peters. Care to explain yourself?
slams her hand on the principal's desk Explain myself? Oh, I don't think so! You think you can just mess with me and get away with it?
