Its around midnight now, a bunch of people are behind a club.

Jess: Joyce are you alright?

Joyce: (Drunk) I'm fine.

Amy: You look shit.

Joyce starts to puke. A girl runs up to her and punches her in the face.

Joyce: (Looks up) what the fuck?!

The girl grabs Joyce by the shirt and tosses her against the wall.

Joyce: Who the hell are you?

Girl: Sara Nelson, Amanda's sister. (Amanda is the girl that Joyce got in a fight with at school)

Joyce: What, now she needs her sister to fight her battles?

Sara: You broke her fucking nose.

Joyce: She deserved it. Now get your arms off of me! (Pushes Sara off of her)

Jess and Amy try to get Joyce away from Sara.

Joyce: Let me at her!

Jess: Come on Joyce...

Jess and Amy pull Joyce away from the crowd.

Sara: You can't always run I'll get you!

Joyce: Go fuck yourself!

The students are sitting in the dungeon writing the test. Joyce is sitting at her desk just staring at the paper. She has no idea what the answers was suppose to be. Her head is still pounding from last night.

Harry: Ok times up.

Harry walks around the room and collects the tests.

Harry: (Looks at Joyce) where's your test?

Joyce: (Points to the garbage) in there.

The bell rings.

Harry: You stay; the rest of you can go.

Joyce: (Stands up) I'm not staying Mr.Senate.

Harry: Joyce I said to the whole class yesterday whoever fails the test has a detention. Well if you didn't do the test, does that mean that you passed?

Joyce: ....

Harry: Sit.

Joyce reluctantly sits back down. Lauren Davis appears at the door.

Lauren: Harry can I talk to you for a sec?

Harry: Ya sure. (Walks towards the door to talk to Lauren)

Joyce is sitting at her desk, when Amanda walks into the room, through the back door.

Joyce: (Looks up) what the fuck are you doing here?

Amanda: (Smiles) I heard my sister had a little fun with you last night.

Joyce: I never knew that you couldn't fight your own battles. If you can't win than tell me, I'll back off on you.

Amanda: ...

Joyce: That's what I thought..bitch.

Amanda dives at Joyce knocking her onto the floor, they start throwing punches at each other. Harry and Lauren runs into the room.

Harry: Hey! (Pulls Joyce off of Amanda) What the hell are you both doing?

Joyce and Amanda are silent.

Harry: I asked you a question. Joyce what the hell's going on?

Joyce: .... Harry: I told you guys before that I wasn't going to go to Guber. But this time.......

Joyce: Mr.Senate we won't..

Harry: No more excuses, what the hell's going on?

Joyce: Ask her?

Harry: (Looks at Amanda)

Amanda: Nothing, we just had to settle our differences.

Harry: You don't think that I'm going to believe that do you?

Lauren: Amanda let's go.

Amanda: So she's not going to get into trouble?

Lauren: Let's go.

Amanda and Lauren leave the room.

Harry: (Looks at Joyce) want to tell me what's going on?

Joyce: ....

Harry: I have all day.

Joyce: It's none of your business.

Harry: You're right it's not my business, but when a fight breaks out in my classroom it becomes my business.

Joyce: ....

Harry: I will go to Guber with this.

Joyce: Then go to Guber, I don't care anymore. (Walks out of the room)

Joyce doesn't show up at school the next day, Harry wanders the hall trying to find out why.

Harry: Jess!

Jess: Mr.Senate.

Harry: Where's Joyce today?

Jess: She's not here.

Harry: I know that. Why isn't she here?

Jess: I don't know.

Harry: Don't be giving me this crap. Why isn't she here?

Jess: I don't think I should..

Harry: It'll probably be a good idea if you tell me.

Jess: ....What do you want to know?

Harry: Where is she?

Jess: At home.

Harry: ...

Jess: She was pissed off at Amanda last night, so we went to a bar, and she got really drunk, she couldn't get up and come to school today.

Harry: What's going on between her and Amanda?

Jess: Mr.Senate, I know you mean well but, I don't think you should be going into her business.

Harry: She's in trouble Jess, both you and I know that.

Jess: She's having a lot of problems at home. Her mom is behind on the bills and she feels that she's not able to do anything to help her mom out..Amanda's been making some comments about it so.

Harry: That explains the reason why she has a temper, but why are her grades dropping all of a sudden?

Jess: (Sighs) her grandmother passed away a couple of months ago, and she feels that she doesn't have the will to live anymore. She's given up on everything.

Harry: ..

Jess: That's all I know. Just don't tell her I told you anything. (Walks off)
