"Sue?"
"Yes, that's right, William. I'm the principal now."
"H-h-how?"
"Remember that time I tried to blackmail Figgins? Of course you don't, you were in a coma. Well, I tried again. And this time, I found out that he was doing drugs."
"The Chronic Lady."
"No, it was just pot. But it was enough for me to blackmail him. I told him to step down from his post or I would tell the school board. He refused. So I told the school board anyway and got him fired. They needed a new principal, and I was more than happy to accept the job."
"Well," Will shuddered as he said the name, "Principal Sylvester, I have a complaint to make."
"Alright, but make it quick. I have a phoner in 10 minutes."
"It's about Sandy Ryerson."
"Ah, yes, that creepy little child-toucher that got fired three years ago. What about him?"
"Well, he's still here."
"What?"
"He's the coach of the glee club."
"Is he? I honestly care so little about the glee club that I didn't even notice."
"You haven't been trying to destroy the glee club?"
"Why would I try to destroy the glee club? It's a club with five members. I've been setting my sights on the pottery club. They're the ones who have been taking all my funding."
"Could you please just fire Sandy Ryerson? He doesn't belong in any school."
"Fine, William, I'll fire him."
Sue pressed a button on the intercom on her desk.
"Sandy Ryerson, please report to Principal Sue's office!"
In a few minutes, Sandy was there.
"Sandy, you're fired."
"But I-"
"Get out of here. I'm literally going to vomit if I have to look at you for another minute"
Sandy walked out of the room mumbling something, but Will couldn't make it out.
"Alright, William, you got your wish, now get out of here."
"But who's going to replace Sandy?"
"Nobody cares."
"Well…I want to."
"There's one week of school left. Those kids will be fine not singing showtunes for one week."
"Please. I need to be able to see my students again."
"Fine. Whatever. Leave."
Will walked out of the office, smiling. Emma's office was right next-door; so he thought he's pay her a visit. He knew that she wouldn't remember their relationship, but she had always had a crush on Will, and she would definitely be happy to see him. Then he saw the name on the door: Mrs. Brown.
"Sue?" shouted Will, his voice breaking, "Where's Emma?" He could barely speak.
"Who? Oh, the redhead. She left after she and Tanaka got married."
Emma had once been engaged, Will remembered, to Ken Tanaka. She didn't love him, but agreed to marry him anyway to get over Will. Ken had eventually called off the wedding because he could see that she was in love with Will. But Will wasn't there. Emma and Ken ended up getting married.
"Where did they go?"
"I don't know, I think Emma went to be a guidance counselor at Carmel High. Why?"
But Will was gone. He was off to Carmel High.
