"Stay calm. She has nothing on us girls" Michelle was topping her lip gloss in preparation.

"Yeah we can just explain it calmly and carefully that Mae was behind everything. It will be fine" Claire was pacing the hall.

"Aye" Erin was only half listening and was more interested in get a sly look at James and trying to work out what he was thinking.

Sr Michael opened her office door: "You lot can come in now"

"It was all Mae's fault..."

James followed them all in and hadn't even got through the door before Claire had started.

"I didn't know she was unhinged. How could I Sister? Psychopaths are good at hiding the fact that they're psychos we knew nothing until James noticed the buckets and said "She's doing a Carrie" but I'd never seen Carrie! So I didn't..."

"Let me stop you there Claire...You've never seen Carrie?" asked Sr Michael.

"No Sister"

"Great film. I love the mother in it. Go on"

"Well we were trying to stop her pulling the buckets, Mae I mean and save Jenny but she wouldn't stop and Jenny didn't understand. She thought we were trying to ruin her moment but we weren't I swear and so it's just one big misunderstanding except for Mae. She's pure evil and she's giving the Chinese community in Donegal a really bad name"

"Anyone else who pauses for breath when they speak want to add anything?"

"No Sister. I think Claire hit everything to be honest" said Erin.

The others nodded in confirmation.

"Ok. I've spoken to Mae's old head teacher and she confirmed she had been previously expelled for bullying. For once I believe you"

"Really?" they replied in unison.

They all looked at each other. It must have been a good weekend for Sr Michael. They didn't know she was still happy from the ceasefire and the thoughts of Jenny getting her comeuppance. An incident like this was a long time coming for Jenny Joyce.

"So it seems you may be off the hook ladies. This time. However I've set up a meeting with Jenny Joyce this afternoon so you can apologise for ruining her "big moment". Her words not mine obviously"

"For fu...." Erin elbowed Michelle. "..ecking great idea Sister"

"Thank you Michelle. Off you all go now! Hurry up!"
