Wilson is sat upon his king size bed who he shares with his, from the outside, loving wife Stephanie, he straightens his tie eagerly trying to look smart and presentable, it's the first day covering at his local school.

He stands up gracefully and looks in the mirror, he is well presented, stood tall and proud.

A picture perfect man.

From the outside.

His phone lights up disturbing him, saying his new timetable changes for the next few weeks.

Taking a deep breath he heads downstairs at a pace hoping not to be late, he doesn't want to make a bad impression.

He is already working at this school but now in a different department, he used to be an English teacher, now he is a French, he studied it in school and had a passion for it ever since, he couldn't turn down this opportunity.

Now at the the bottom of the stairs he sees his wife Steph at the opposite end of the table she is sipping her tea intimidatingly as he walks into the room cautiously.

Stephanie
Good morning

She says while slowly as she carries on drinking her hot tea.

Wilson
Hey morning

He's stands as still as a statue facing her

Stephanie
What no kiss for the wife

Wilson is then busy getting his coat as he begins to feel uncomfortable after her words

Wilson
Sorry...

He shuffles towards her and kisses her cheek like it's a chore

Stephanie
That's better. Aren't you going to sit and have some breakfast with me?
I spent all morning cooking it

Trying to make him feel bad

Wilson
You got up at quarter to 7
and it's 7 you can't cook that fast can you

Stephanie
Are you trying to pick a fight with me, Dan?

He looks vulnerable and upset

Wilson
Of course not, sorry, erm I might be working overtime again tonight I got an email from the school this morning, basically I've got extra students that they want me to handle, I don't think anyone else could do it, so it had to be me... is that okay... honey

He skips past the part where it actually was a decision that he took

She stands up slowly in the other direction, she turns on the tap and starts washing dishes while he is still stood waiting for an answer

Stephanie
Oh no yeah that's fine, just another excuse again isn't it...

She smacks her lips

Wilson
What are you talking about, you think I want to do this, I would much rather be at home?

He lies through his teeth

Stephanie
Just go...

Wilson
Hey come on don't be like that

He walks towards her and touches her shoulder softly

Suddenly she turns around with a butter knife in her hand startling Wilson

He quickly backs away and gulps then walks straight out.

We see her grin and turn back around to placing the knife back into the drawers.

Wilson is now sat in the car he locks the doors straight away after the shower event that just happened.

Leaning his head against the wheel while holding firmly onto the steering wheel then takes moment to adjust again before he drives off.

Alison now at school is sad on a park bench in the car park with her air pods in trying to listen to music while reading The Shining.

She loves reading its her escape for whenever life gets to much.

If Carter is being to over protective or Maxie is having a girl crisis and confides in her, she goes straight to book to help her relax.

Back in the car park a piece of rubbish is thrown heading towards disrupting her from her book, she realises then throws it back not caring what she will happen next

Alison
Bitch...

She shouts while in the middle of throwing

Tiffany
No wonder your mom abandoned you

We hear shouted from the other side of road

They all laugh sharing comments.

At this point Wilson pulls in witnessing the events unfolded before him, he gets out of his car.

Wilson
Hey what's going on here girls... does someone care to explain to me or are we just all going to stand here in silence

Walking towards Tiffany with a stern expression for an answer he questions the girls

Tiffany
Me and Ali were just exchanging notes for your class sir

Wilson
By throwing them at her

The girls laugh in the background

Alison is now packing her stuff away

Wilson
Go inside

Tiffany
We can do what we want to sir

Wilson
You can't when it's involving another student who just wants to be left alone.

She gives up and walks in with the other girls in her possy following behind keeping up with her.

Wilson
Thank you

Wilson then looks back towards Alison but sees her already walking away towards the building.

He sighs and walks away.
