CHAPTER 4 - High School
Scenes are interspersed with Diana teaching her class, as well as students coming up to her asking her for help. During all this segments, we see Tyson, focusing on her. Diana sometimes catches him looking at her, to which she just smiles and turns away, never once realising what those looks really meant.
CHAPTER 5 - Exterior High School
Diana is waiting on the curbside. A car rolls to a stop in front of her.
The car, driven by her husband, Eddie Wong, a smarmy, 30-something year old man, is on his bluetooth, talking to someone over the phone, "Look, we should just tell them that we won't close the deal if they don't want to play ball. They need our tech and they definitely have the money to pay for it."
Diana's arms are full of school books, and she is struggling to open her door.
Eddie, still talking on the phone, rolls down the passenger window and is motioning for Diana to hurry up and get in the car. He does not attempt to help her, him deeming his call to be more important.
A hand reaches around her and helps open the car door.
"Here, let me help." It is Tyson.
"Oh, thank you so much Tyson," Diana thanks him profusely. She gets in the car.
Tyson helps her close the car door, but not before he leans in by the window and fixes his gaze at Eddie. Eddie, noticing Tyson looking at him, glares back at Tyson.
'What are you looking at kid," Eddie asks, annoyance tinging his words at this young kid.
Tyson smirks. "You sir, are the reason why God created the middle finger." Tyson then holds up both his middle finger, smirk still in place.
Eddie's face gets red, as he sputters, trying to come up with an answer. Diana is horrified.
'Why you little shit...." Eddie sputters, trying to get out of the car, but being held back by Diana, who is pulling him back.
"Eddie, just drive, please," Diana pleads to Eddie.
Tyson steps back from the car and gives a mock salute.
CHAPTER 6 - Classroom
The next day, the school bell rings, signalling the end of the class. Students are filling out of the class. Tyson remains in his seat, looking out the window.
The last of the students file out and the door finally closes, leaving Diana and Tyson alone.
Tyson gets up from his chair, slinging his bag over his shoulder and walks to Diana, who is standing behind the teacher's desk.
"Look, what happened yesterday...." Diana started.
Tyson, interrupting, "I helped you out when you needed help."
"Diana continuing, "And I thank you for that. But what you said to my husband was downright disrespectful."
Tyson shrugs his shoulders, "I call it like I see it. Is there anything else or can I go already?"
Diana sighs. "No there isn't anything else."
