Reba What If

7

Brock, Reba, Mrs. Hodge, and Mr. Myers enter the principal's office.

"Now, can you please calmly and rationally explain to me what is going on?" Mrs. Hodge asks Brock.

"That man raped my daughter and I don't feel that he should be teaching here anymore or at any school for that reason." Brock says. Mrs. Hodge just looks at Mr. Myers.

"Is that true Mr. Myers? Did you rape Mr. Hart's daughter?" Mrs. Hodge asks in that high pitched squeak voice of hers.

"Of course not. That's unprofessional. Kyra is a good student, but she isn't the type of person I would like because she is under the age of 18, besides I am married." Mr. Myers says appalled at the accusation.

"Well, I talked to Jordan Raye after my little meeting with Mr. Myers today, and she said that she heard Mr. Myers talking to Kyra, and she says she saw them go into the men's bathroom." Reba says. Mrs. Hodge gets this suprised look on her face. She pulls her jacket away from her chest and jerks her head.

"I guess we should get Ms. Raye in here and see what she has to say." Mrs. Hodge says. Just then, Mrs. Hodge's secretary, Ms. Harper, enters the office.

"Ms. Harper is Ms. Raye still in the building?" Mrs. Hodge asks her. Ms. Harper just stands there, and then looks out the door, and says something to someone outside the door that Reba can't hear.

"Yes, she's here Mrs. Hodge." Ms. Harper says.

"Good. Mr. and Mrs. Hart, could you go into the outer office while I talk with Ms. Raye?" Mrs. Hodge asks. Reba and Brock just nod at her and walk into the outer office.

"Do you think that they will get him fired?" Brock asks Reba.

"I don't know, I just know what Jordan told me and she seemed to be good friends with Kyra, and you know any teacher would say anything to keep their job. He's not going to hurt our little girl anymore." Reba says.

"Okay, well then I know that everything will be okay." Brock says. He wraps his arm around Reba's waist and they wait for Jordan to enter the office. Just then, Brock sees a girl enter the office with the secretary.

"Is that her?" Brock asks Reba pointing at the girl.

"Yeah, that's her." Reba says. They see the girl sit down, and talk with the principal. She looks scared. After about 5 minutes, the girl gets up and the principal stands up and they walk to the door. Mrs. Hodge closes the door behind her. She motions for Brock and Reba to come back out. They walk out and sit down at Mrs. Hodge's desk.

"What did she say?" Brock asks.

"Well I told her that there had been some suspicions about Kyra Hart being raped by their English teacher, and that this accusation is very severe and that she should be sure of what she's saying and make sure that's she's telling the truth." Mrs. Hodge says.

"What'd she say?" Reba asks impatiently.

"She said that he DID take Kyra into the bathroom, and that she looked terrified when they went in. She said, that he said that for her to pass the class she had to sleep with him." Mrs. Hodge says. Brock and Reba just look at each other and he squeezes her hand feeling like they won the fight.

"Although Ms. Raye has had issues with Mr. Myers and I think she may just be trying to get back at him." Mrs. Hogde says. Reba jumps up off the chair.

"WHAT! We come in with the same story as Jordan and you trust the teacher over us?" Reba asks almost ready to go over the desk.

"I have to talk to the school board and see what they want to do about filing a sexual harrassment suite." Mrs. Hodge says. Mr. Myers just sits next to Mrs. Hodge and just smiles since he knows this is going in his favor.

"But if my son said something to one of your teachers you would have him expelled so quick his head would spin and you would make sure a suite was set." Reba says.

"Well Mrs. Hart, that's different. Your son wouldn't put a teacher in harm's way like this will." Mrs. Hodge says. Reba and Brock stand up.

"Fine. But you haven't seen the end of us. We are calling our lawyer and we will be back." Brock says to her, "you haven't seen the last of us." Brock and Reba storm out.
