"can I help you?" "Yes ma'am. I'm looking for miss Arlington. I'm Valerie Simmons" "does she know you are coming?" "No. I was asked by her father" "I see. A moment" "yes ma'am".
'who the hell is this woman?' Tina walked out of the office and down to brielles class. "Tina" "mister sawyer. A loud class" "all celebrating the end of their schooling. What can I do for you?" "I'm here for Brielle" "I see. BRIELLE" Brielle looked up from her books "MISS ARLINGTON, YOU ARE NEEDED AT THE OFFICE" "OOO SHES GETTING.." "ENOUGH" brielle showed a slight nod and packed up her books. Unsure of what's happening, Brielle grabbed her belongings and walked out.
As soon as brielle walked out, girls approached Miley "no" "now she's not.." "I SAID NO. GO AWAY" "GO AWAY.." "SIT DOWN. RIGHT NOW. YOU DO NOT HARASS ANOTHER STUDENT" "SHE NEEDS TO.." "STUDY. UNLIKE YOU, IM GOING SOMEWHERE" Orson showed a gentle grin as he walked her way. "Don't worry about them" "I'm not. Not worth it. Brielles right. I can't wait to get the hell away from them" "excuse me.." "you heard Edna" "MY NAME.." "Edna" Orson laughed "ugly as sin". Everyone Screaming out and messing around, Miley sighed and picked up her books. 'even Orson is. I don't know what they are doing' Miley packed her belongings and stood up then walked up to mister sawyer. "I'd like to study elsewhere" "I can't allow you to leave" "then I want to speak with mister meninst".
Mister sawyer calling in the principal, Miley stood by the chalk board with an unimpressed look on her face. "Miley, come join us" "no" orsons eyes widened. "It's just some fun.." principal meninst entering, Orson pressed his lips shut. "mister sawyer" "mister meninst, I'm trying to study. This class may not care about their scores but I do. Can I study elsewhere?" Principal meninst looked at everyone in the classroom. "Yes. Come with me" "thanks" "Miley.." Miley walked out with principal meninst while Orson swallowed the lump in his throat. 'i didn't even support her' "let's have some fun".

"Just in here miss Arlington" "you are?" "I'm Valerie Simmons. Your father has asked me to come speak with you" "in regards to?" 'intelligent girl' Brielle sat down on the brown cushion chair and lowered her bag "he has some concerns about your mindset" "excuse me?" "From what I have heard, you like to segregate yourself. You had shakes this morning due to coming to school" "I don't like dealing with other students" "is that due to your mind set" "Its due to them being rude and up themselves just like my sister" "you resent your sister?" "We don't get along" "and why is that?" "Because shes miss I have all the money and popularity.." "jealousy" Brielle smirked "she may be" "your words scream jealousy" "do they?" 'oh she is very tense' "that is my view. I have dealt with many different ages. This can be a hard age for many" "it's not hard, I just want to complete my exams and get the hell out of here" "school should be a good experience" "it's been good educational wise but dealing with others, no" "do you have friends?" "Yeah" "and what are they like?" "Fun, caring and intelligent" "those three that were on the island with you?" "Some" "I see. Back to your sister" "what about her?. I don't want to waste my time on her" "she is a human just like you" "she's a bitch" 'oh. Very tense' "why?" "She's a spoiled brat. That's why my dad sent her away" "do you resent her due to what she has?" "No. I pity her" "so you care" "no" 'very short' a knock sounding, Valerie spoke "IN A MEETING" Shaun opened the door and walked in. "What is this?" Shauns chest raised "I thought it would be good to speak about your problems. Whats spoken about, is confidential" "I was speaking with Brielle about her sister. She stated these kids are like her. It sounds like jealousy" "is it?" "Nuh" "that's a definite" "the way she spoke.." "you are making assumptions on my life when you don't even know me" "brielle, her job is to help" "this isn't helping me. Finishing school and not having these bitches around will give me peace" "okay I understand you are tense but why do you segregate yourself?" "I want to get somewhere in life" Shaun inhaled a long deep breath "the write up in the paper stated you were stuck out on an island for two months.." "seven weeks and one day. Two days on a raft. Yeah. It was peaceful" "you weren't scared?" "No" "that's not normal" "I agree" "are we done here?" "No. The meeting goes for an hour" 'brielle is only getting more defensive' "how was it peaceful?" "Didn't have people in my face" "how many storms did you go through?" "Seven" "you remember that well" "yeah?" 'jesus' "what happened on that island?" "We got lost, used what we had to survive. Like anyone else would" "not anyone else, many died out there. Are any of them your friends?" "The teacher was good" "the teacher?" "That's what I just said" "Brielle" brielle stared down Valerie without an emotion "why the teacher?" "He was intelligent and did what he could to calm everyone. He's a human" 'she just used what I said to her' "so are the other children" "yeah" "but you didn't like them?" "I believe I stated that" "why?" "Everyone has their own preferences. If we were all made the same, it would be boring or chaos" "you mentioned chaos" "again. Yes" "Brielle she is trying to help" "how does this help?. I have stated I don't like them. I'm not friends with them. I don't like my sister and that won't change. We are completely different. I don't like my mother..." "Why?" "She's like my sister. Stuck up and money hungry" "everyone wants money" "do they?" "Do you?" "No" "we need money to live" "we obviously don't. We survived seven weeks and three days out there on that island. When we returned all of us were healthy. People want money. The more money they get, the more they spend on unnecessary items like brand new cars and the highest brand clothes" "like yours" "my dad purchased these when I was missing" "oh" 'my daughter isnt letting her make a move' "do you suffer from social anxiety?" "It's possible" "do you?" "Well I don't know. How would you diagnose that?" "Sweating?" "No" "fear of humiliation?" "No" "fear of interaction?" "No" "you don't speak with many" "that's my choice" "why?" "Smaller groups are better" "knowing many can get you places in life" "the only place they are going is a corner" "I'm sorry?" "spreading their legs is more important than their studies" "if they have made it this far.." "they can't hold children back anymore. The laws changed" "how do you know this?" "Research. To me, knowledge is power" "so you believe you are smarter than everyone else?" "No" "you just stated.." "I stated them. Not everyone" "who are they?" "Look at half of the year twelves" "I'm not here for them..." "HURRY UP POCAHONTAS" brielle chuckled "IM STUCK HERE" "THEN IM WAITING" "one of your friends?" "Yeah" "what is it that you like about her?" "She's intelligent, caring, sweet, hilarious, stands by me like I do her, wants to get somewhere in life, bubbly, always happy, doesn't care what others think about her, beautiful on the inside and out, has decency and respect.." "you speak highly of her and not others like your own family" "I have one member" "your dad?" "Yeah" "why do you not.." "we have been through this" "your mother brought you into this world" "and stopped right there" "Shaun, do you worry about brielles mind set" "yes. That's why I called" "even your father worries about you" "it's a natural instinct of a decent parent to do so" "there is a difference in worrying and asking for help. Which you obviously need" "do I?" "Yes" "going to write that down to?" "BRIELLE" "what?. The only things she writes down is negativity. Her pen didn't hit the paper when I spoke about Miley" "my job is to write down what needs to be worked on" "and what is that exactly?" "BRIELLE. STOP" Miley rolled her eyes as she overheard "okay" Brielle stood up and grabbed her bag "we aren't done" Brielle walked out as shauns anger increased "I'm sorry.." "we will continue this".
Shaun walked out and looked around "BRIELLE".
