INT. ANGELWOOD HIGH SCHOOL - MORNING
DRAY IS LATE TO A CLASS REACHING THE DOOR, JUST AS THE TEACHER HAS BEGUN CLOSING IT.
[Dray]
Hold the door!
THE TEACHER WHIMSICALLY LETS THE DOOR CLOSE AND LOOKS AT DRAY WITH A MOCKINGLY SAD FACE.
[Substute Teacher]
Oh, I'm sorry, looks like the bell couldn't save you. It looks like you're gonna have to get a tardy pass. Ha, ha.
DRAY SEETHINGLY LEAVES TO GO GET A TARDY PASS WHILE HE HEARS THE SUBSTITUTE TEACHER LAUGHING.
[Dray]
(Thinking)
What an asshole!
RETURNING TO THE CLASS, DRAY HANDS THE TARDY PASS TO THE POMPOUS SUBSTITUTE TEACHER WHO SMUGLY STANDS AT THE FRONT OF THE CLASS.
[Substitute Teacher]
Thank you, Mr. Anderson, I presume. Maybe from now on you'll get to class on time.
DRAY LOOKS AT THE SUBSTITUTE TEACHER'S HEAD NOTICING THAT HE HAS BAD HAIR.
[Dray]
And maybe you need to learn a new combover trick. Either that or your toupee is crooked.
THE CLASS ERUPTS WITH LAUGHTER MUCH TO THE SUBSTITUTE TEACHER'S CHAGRIN AND HE STOPS DRAY FROM GOING TO HIS SEAT.
{Substitute Teacher]
I think you need to take a trip to the principal's office.

INT. LUNCH ROOM - AFTERNOON
TO̅MI, DRAY, AND ANTOINETTE SIT AT A TABLE TOGETHER EATING LUNCH.
[To̅mi]
I can't believe that you got three days of ISS.
[Antoinette]
Yeah, everyone knows that Weiner's got a huge power trip going on.
[Dray]
Well, Principal Greer didn't seem to agree.
[To̅mi]
I think it's good that you stuck up for yourself.
[Antoinette]
I think we should get a petition started to get Weiner fired. He's a creep and he sucks at his job.
THE GROUP IS APPROACHED BY VANESSA, RYKAR AND EVELYN.
[Vanessa]
Hey, I heard you got 3 whole days of ISS.
[Dray]
Yeah, what's it to you?
[Vanessa]
Oh, I was just surprised to hear that you had a spine. Keep up the good work and you might actually get somewhere one day.
VANESSA AND HER POSE DEPART FROM THE TABLE.
[Dray]
I got a compliment from Vanessa. It's an omen for sure.
[Antoinette]
Definitely.
[To̅mi]
Do you guys want to hang out after school?
