INT. COTERIE - KITCHEN - day

Dennis walks through the coterie doors and smiles when he sees Davia standing at the counter facing away from him

Davia turns around and looks at him

DENNIS
hey, you're home early

DAVIA
Half day..

Davia takes her her sandwich to the table

DENNIS
You okay?

Davia sighs and nods

DAVIA
It was a half day but it was long

Davia lays her head in her arms on the table

Dennis sits next to her

DAVIA
I went to work, one of my kids moms came up to me and asked why I havent been going to the meetings

DENNIS
Oh so you decided to side with your principle?

Davia shakes her head

DAVIA
I'm not taking any sides I'm just..I dont know waiting I guess

DENNIS
Waiting for what

DAVIA
More proof from my principal that the moms stir up trouble, more proof from the moms that what they're doing is good.. I dont know

Davia sighs and frowns

DAVIA
I'm trying my best, but everything I do I feel like everyones judging me..I have my students telling me my teaching is offensive, I have other teachers telling me to do things that can be relatable to my students...I hate and love teaching and I dont know what to do

Dennis frowns as he slides his hand across her back softly

Malika walks out of her room

DAVIA
I dont know, Maybe I shouldn't be a teacher anymore...

Malika looks at her

MALIKA
What's going on?

DAVIA
Everyone at school hates me

Malika chuckles and sits down across from her

MALIKA
Dont quit, you're doing good...slowly

Davia sits up and slides her sandwich over to Dennis

DAVIA
I'm gonna go take a nap, you can have this

Dennis watches her go to her room and frowns

MALIKA
She'll be fine

Malika gets up and goes over to the fridge

DENNIS
Hey uh..can I ask you for a favor

Malika turns around

DENNIS
I need to quit drinking again...

MALIKA
Is this because you came to my room a couple nights ago?

DENNIS
(Nods)
Yeah, I shouldn't have done that..I use Alcohol to forget what's going on in my head and I need to not do that..its not safe

MALIKA
Okay, so what's the favor?

DENNIS
At some point I may come back up here and I need you to tell me no, I need you to tell me no and to get Davia or force me to talk about it...just dont let me drink

MALIKA
(Nods)
Of crouse...are you uh..are you doing okay? I mean Davia didn't really go in to detail about everything, but she seemed pretty freaked out that you start drinking again
