It is now a thursday morning and at the hallway of the campus, Gail just arrived arranging her books in her locker....

Gail: (silently puts some books from her bag to her locker) (grabs and wears her earphones from her locker)
Stevie: (enters the hallway) (yawns widely) (notices Gail at her locker) Gail?? (suddenly approaches Gail) Gail!!
Gail: huh?? (takes off her earphones) (notices Stevie approaching her) Stevie... good morning.....
Stevie: (smiles slightly) good morning.... (yawns)
Gail: haha... (laughs at Stevie yawing) I just know how the sudden announcement yesterday annoys you because I am pretty sure you are asleep half of our daybreak every wednesday......
Stevie: yeah and I did not get to rest because I am kinda excited for the prom... and I will take this time to hangout with my best friend to see how you are up to this coming prom.......
Gail: (suddenly frowns and feel serious) the prom....
Stevie: yeah haha.. (feels awkwardly confused) isn't that what we are talking about?? (laughs softly) (notices Gail suddenly feeling serious) why? how are you for prom? you joining??
Gail: I do not completely know at this point.....
Stevie: but why? if you are thinking about who are you with.... I can ditch those gays for...
Gail: (cuts off and laughs at Stevie) oh haha Stevie... please no... (shakes her head) I even think you are better off with those boys.... and I am finally seeing how safe you are with them...  and you guys better be together.....
Stevie: but what do you mean safe with them? (looks curious at Gail)
Gail: (suddenly looks nervous at Stevie)
Stevie: is there something wrong? because.... I also wanna check out because you were pretty tensed by the end of the meeting yesterday... is Bentley and Clint hurting you or annoying you????
Gail: (shakes her head nervously) no... it is not about them.... I promise Stevie.... (closes her locker)
Stevie: then if it is not about them... then it is something else and there is something.... what is it??? (holds Gail's arm) if you think I am safe with the boys.... then why not join us???
Gail: Stevie... (tears fall on her face) remember when Sam said about me having a sugar daddy?
Stevie: yeah... what is wrong? (looks worried at Gail crying) why are you crying? tell me? is it completely true? did that person hurt you????
Gail: (keeps crying) (tries to wipe her tears) I just wanna get rid of him but the venue that we are choosing is owned by him.......
Stevie: (eyes widens at Gail) so... is it fine? is it just you???
Gail: (shrugs) I supposed so but I do not want to be there... I just do not want to... (walks away from Stevie)
Stevie: are you sure is that it? why are you running away??? (sadly watches Gail leaving)
Gail: (shakes her head) (hugs herself) I just feel creeped out.....
Stevie: just remember that we are here.... I can understand you... whatever it is.... 
Gail: (cries softly again) (left)
Stevie: (still looks confused at Gail leaving)

It is now early in the afternoon and it is currently lunch, at the boys' restroom, Baron was there washing his face before meeting his friends to eat lunch......

Baron: (opens and washes his hands on the faucet) (stressfully looks at himself in the mirror) (takes a deep breath) you get too attached to much Baron.. (washes his face on the faucet)
Henry: (secretly listens to Baron from the toilet cubicle)
Parker: (enters the restroom) (notices Baron) Baron.... thank god you are here...
Baron: (looks happily confused at Parker) Parker? here again? you and I meeting?? what a great coincidence...
Parker: no... (feels stressed) I am curious about what you said yesterday that is why I really want to talk with you...... what do you mean by revenge? and can't you understand what Mason wants for us???
Baron: (looks annoyed at Parker) why are you mad?! besides.... (rolls his eyes) I am not doing it with you if you do not want to......
Parker: then who would you do this with? Henry?? everyone around you would tell you the same to not......
Baron: (cries softly and cuts off Parker) and should we really left that Bentley hanging?!! he raped Mason!! not just him but all of his teammates and you were there... you have seen it.. filmed it with your very own.... and you want to redeem yourself but what are you doing???
Henry: (eyes widens at listening to Parker and Baron)
Parker: (holds and pulls Baron close to him) but he literally said that... it came from him that we should not be......
Baron: (cuts off Parker) because he is the victim... he is traumatized.. hopeless... and he cannot fight back but I know deep inside... he would want justice if he has to..... but if we can't get justice for how his story went.... I will be willing to teach that Bentley a lesson!! (grabs Parker's shirt closer to him) and what about your bruises you got from turning your back from them?! what do you think of Mason? you?!! what do you think of you?!! worthless?!!
Parker: (feels speechless) (cries softly)
Jameson: (enters the room) (eyes widens and feels surprised at Parker and Baron talking)
*Parker and Baron surprisingly looks at Jameson*
Henry: (clenches his fists angrily while listening to Parker and Baron) (walks out of the toilet cubicle) so... this is all that has happened to Mason?? he was maltreated by a lot of people at once!! (tears fall on his face)
Baron: (eyes widens at Henry) Henry???
Jameson: (looks shocked listening to everyone)
Parker: (looks speechless at everyone)
*Henry, Jameson, Parker and Baron sadly looks at each other*

It is now dismissal and at the front of the whole school, everyone was waiting for a bus at the sidewalk......

Sam: (notices everyone feeling silent) so ugh.... I think you all are drained today huh???
*Jameson, Parker, Stevie, Baron and Henry silently looks at Sam and Mason*
Sam: (notices everyone looking at him) is everything alright??
Jameson: I am sorry but... (hugs Sam) I am personally tired baby...
Mason: (awkwardly looks at everybody) (notices Parker and Baron feeling silent) how about you all???
*Parker and Baron shakes their head immediately*
Mason: okay? (looks confused and concerned at Parker and Baron)
Henry: (sadly looks at Mason) (notices a bus coming) by the way.... there is a bus coming.... we can finally go home.....
Baron: (nods and looks at the incoming bus) yeah we should....
Stevie: (looks around) (frels worried for Gail)
Desiree: (looks confused at everyone feeling silent)
*a bus stops in front of everyone*
Jameson: so.. shall we? (looks at Sam)
Sam: (nods) lets all go... (enters the bus)
*Jameson, Desiree, Stevie, Mason and Henry enters the bus*
Baron: shall we? (seriously looks at Parker)
Parker: (seriously nods at Baron)
*Baron and Parker enters the bus*
