Joyce walks into the school, she was very tired, she hadn't slept at all,
and her eyes were all swollen from crying too much.
Scott: Morning Ms. Hayes.
Joyce: Morning.
Scott: (Sees her eyes are swollen) are you ok?
Joyce: Yes.
Scott: Can you please go to my office?
Joyce: Uh.Mr. Guber I didn't do anything wrong, would you like to tell me why I have to go to your office?
Scott: Because I said so Ms. Hayes, my office please.
Joyce: (Mumbles) this is so fucking stupid..
Scott: What was that Ms. Hayes?
Joyce: ...
Scott: I asked you a question. What did you just say?
Joyce: I said your so fucking stupid, you're not even the principal you're the vice principal, you have no fucking right telling me what to do!!!
Everyone in the hallway looks at them, Lauren runs up to them.
Lauren: Joyce calm down.
Scott: Ms. Hayes, you go to my office right now, anymore words out of your mouth and you will be suspended for even longer.
Joyce walks down the hall and into Scott's office. She knew that she was going to get suspended; she had to do something to get out of the school, and not see Harry.
It was lunch; the teacher's was in the lounge.
Marilyn: I can't believe she did that.
Lauren: I know. She looked like she was in a really bad mood. But I couldn't believe that she would say that to Scott.
Marla: I'm glad she said something, I wanted to say something to that man face for so long, it's about time someone told him that he isn't the boss around here.
Marilyn: How long is she suspended for?
Lauren: I heard Scott suspended her for 3 days.
Harry and Kevin walk into the room.
Kevin: What's everyone talking about?
Marla: The only news that is going around the school right now.
Harry: Which is?
Marilyn: You guys didn't hear? Joyce was suspended this morning for yelling at Scott, and calling him stupid.
Kevin: And that's big news because..
Marla: Well it's the only exciting thing that has happened in school today.
Harry: Do you guys know why she did that?
Marilyn: Apparently Scott saw that her eyes were all swollen, than he asked her to go to his office.and then she flipped out on him.
Harry knew that Joyce was upset about last night.
Lauren: Are you alright Harry?
Harry: Ya I'm fine. See you guys later. (Walks out of the room)
Marla: What's wrong with him?
Kevin: ..
Marilyn noticed that Kevin and Harry were both acting a weird, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
Joyce was sitting at home, when someone knocks on her door.
Joyce: It's open!
Amy: (Walks in) hey.
Joyce: Hey, how's it going?
Amy: Better than you.
Joyce: ....
Amy: You look like shit. Why'd you do that this morning?
Joyce: Does everybody know in the school?
Amy: Ya. Come on Joyce just get over him.
Joyce: I can't.
Amy: Then why did you let him go?
Joyce: I don't want him to lose his job over me, I'm not worth it.
Amy: Just forget about him, I'm sure Mr. Senate doesn't want to see you like this right now.
Joyce: (Crying) I don't want to forget about him, I don't even want to let him go...
Amy sits there watching her friend cry; there was nothing she could do to help her. She just hoped that Joyce could forget about Harry and move on.
A couple of days had passed, and Joyce was back from her suspension, she was getting her books at her locker.
Harry: Hey..
Joyce: (Looks up) morning Mr. Senate.
Harry: I'm sorry.
Joyce: What are you sorry about? You didn't do anything wrong.
Harry: Joyce.
Joyce: I've got to get to class Mr. Senate, see ya. (Walks off)
Harry stands there watching Joyce; he still loved her very much, he didn't want to let her go.
Joyce is sitting in Marilyn's class, but she isn't listening at all to what she was teaching, she was just sitting there staring into space. The bell rings, everybody hurries out of the class.
Marilyn: Joyce can I talk to you for a second?
Joyce: Ya, Ms. Sudor?
Marilyn: Here's the work that you missed.
Joyce: Thanks.
Marilyn: Are you alright?
Joyce: Ya.
Marilyn: You seem to be out of it today.
Joyce: I just didn't get enough sleep.
Marilyn: Ok.
Joyce walks out of the class, and down the hall, Steven stops her.
Steven: Hey Joyce.
Joyce: Mr. Harper.
Steven: I just hope that we won't have another outburst today.
Joyce: No problem.
Steven: There's actually another thing I want to talk to you about.
Joyce: ...
Steven: Can you come to my office?
Joyce: Ya.
Joyce sits down in Steven's office, she watches him get out a file.
Steven: Joyce I was getting some complaints from your teachers.
Joyce: I'll take it that it's bad.
Steven: Well, they were showing me your marks, and they've been slipping a lot.
Joyce: I don't know why it's been slipping.
Steven: Joyce you haven't been doing any work in of your classes lately, is there a reason why you're not doing any work?
Joyce: ...
Steven: Is everything alright?
Joyce: Why is everybody asking me that? I don't think it's anybody's business if I'm alright or not.
Steven: Joyce, every one of your teachers is worried about you.
Joyce: Well you can tell them I'm fine. I'll pull my marks up Mr. Harper, can I go?
Steven: Joyce you haven't been acting yourself lately.
Joyce: Oh my god, this is a school, can you guys just focus on school, and stay out of my personal life. (Walks out)
Harry is sitting in the dungeon, going over the tests that his class had written. Steven walks in.
Harry: (Looks up) whatever it is, I didn't do it.
Steven: Harry.
Harry: Just kidding. So..
Steven: Have you talked to Joyce lately?
Harry: No. Why?
Steven: Well I was hoping you would talk to her for me.
Harry: Umm..
Steven: You're the only that she will actually talk to.
Harry: Ok, I'll try.
Steven: Great. (Walks out)
Harry knew why Joyce was upset, he just didn't know what he could say or do to change how she was feeling.
The bell rings, and everyone is rushing to get out of the school, Joyce is getting ready to walk out of the school, when Harry walks up to her.
Harry: Joyce, can I talk to you for a sec?
Joyce: I got to go Mr. Senate.
Harry: Joyce please, it won't take that long.
Harry and Joyce walk down to the dungeon, Harry closes the door to make sure no one would hear.
Joyce: What do you want to talk about Mr. Senate?
Harry: Joyce why are you doing this?
Joyce: Doing what?
Harry: The way you're acting, I don't want to end things Joyce and I know that you don't want to either.
Joyce: I don't know what you're talking about.
Harry: You damn well know what I am talking about.
Joyce: ...
Harry: I know that you're worried about the outcome of this relationship; I know that you don't want me to lose my job. But you can't control the outcome of things. The feelings that I have for you..I can't control that either. Joyce don't put yourself through this.
Joyce: (Looks up) I really do love you; I don't want to lose you. If I let you go now, maybe I'll be able to let the love that I have for you go.
Harry: Are you sure you can do that? I know I can't.
Joyce: I'm not worth losing your job over.
Harry: You are worth it.
Joyce: I can't...
Joyce gets up and walks towards the door. Harry grabs her arm, and pulls her in for a kiss, Joyce tries to push away, but Harry doesn't let go. Joyce had missed this feeling for a long time; she didn't want to let this moment end.
Joyce: Harry...
Harry: Do you know how sweet it sounds, when I hear my name come out of your mouth?
Joyce: (Tears building up in her eyes)
Harry: Please Joyce, don't let me go.
Joyce begins to cry, it hurt Harry to see her crying. He pulls her in for a hug.
Harry: Shh...I promise you I will never let you go.
Scott: Morning Ms. Hayes.
Joyce: Morning.
Scott: (Sees her eyes are swollen) are you ok?
Joyce: Yes.
Scott: Can you please go to my office?
Joyce: Uh.Mr. Guber I didn't do anything wrong, would you like to tell me why I have to go to your office?
