Few Weeks Later.

It's been a few weeks now since Layla found out what Simon - Mr. Minter - has been doing to Jessica. Since then, Simon hasn't touched or even spoken to Jessica, out of fear that Layla might tell everyone.

"Girls, come over please." Simon says, waving them over. All the girls walk over and stand around him. "Tomorrow, I'll be starting one-to-one sessions with you, just seeing if you're okay with everything and to see how you are doing." Simon explains to the class. "Any problems, talk to me about it after class." He says to the girls. They all nod. "Now, you may go." He says, signalling for them to leave. 

All the girls, except Layla and Jessica leave quickly and quietly.

"Can I help you two?" Simon asks as he stands up. "I have a problem with the one-to-one thing, sir." Layla says bitterly. "Why's that?" He asks. "I don't want you near Jess." Layla says, standing up to him. "Layla, leave it..." Jessica says, scared of what might happen. "But I have to, sorry Layla." Simon sighs. "Who said?" She asks, angrily. "I did." Vik, aka, Mr. Barn says, walking in. "Oh..." Layla says as she stands down. "Sorry sir." Layla quickly apologies. "Now, Layla leave. I need a word with Jessica and Mr. Minter." Mr. Barn - who is the headteacher (principle) says. Layla nods before quickly walking out.

"What's wrong sir?" Jessica asks. "Sit, both of you, please." Vik says, ignoring Jessica's question. They nod before sitting on the bench in front of Vik. "Jessica, lately you've been slacking in this lesson, and it's quite worrying..." Vik begins. "So, I want you to stay after school, everyday, so you can get back to your usual self." Vik smiles. "Is that an issue?" He asks. "Not at all." Jessica smiles, trying not to panic. "Good. You start today." Vik smiles before walking out.

"Layla's going to kill me, isn't she." Simon mutters quietly. "More than likely." Jessica sighs. "It's not our faults though..." Simon mutters. "Whatever." Jess huffs. "Where you going? We need to start." Simon says standing up and walking after Jessica. "I need to tell Layla..." Jess sighs before walking out to find her.

"Lay-" "I know... Mr. Barn told me." Layla says angrily. "It's not my fault." Jessica sighs. "I know." Layla says, pulling her into a hug. "Tell me if he does anything, okay?" Layla says, flashing her a sympathetic smile. "Will do." Jessica nods. "Okay, see you Monday." Layla smiles. "See you." Jess says before rushing back to Mr. Minter.
