Michelle: WHAT!
Owen: I told you. This place is not as good as you think it is.
Michelle: Then why do you live here?
Owen: I wanted a place to fit in. As weird as it sounds I belong with these thugs.
Michelle: I guess I see the idea of why you guys think about making a difference. I mean you have teachers selling drugs to kids. You have kids beating up on kids. This place makes Woodsboro more like home.
Owen: Isn't that the point?
Michelle: What do you mean?
Owen: Isn't Sidney trying to send you a message that your life in Woodsboro wasn't that bad.
Michelle: However, I think I may be safer in jail.

Stevens turns his chair around to face Michelle.
Stevens: Yes. Yes I did. On the first day I like to see how all my new students are doing. How's your first day going?
Michelle: Well. To be honest it's been kind of weird.
Stevens: Weird how?
Michelle: I've never seen things like this.
Stevens: Things like what?
Michelle: Don't tell me you don't realize what's going on your schools. Hell, the boy I was just talking to got hit by your own security guards.
Stevens: At this school we like to show some tough love.
Michelle; Oh and all the kids selling and doing drugs. What about that?
Stevens: Miss. Edwards You didn't see ANYTHING.
Stevens said this in a threatening way.
Stevens: You are mistaken by this. Drugs aren't sold on schoolg rounds understand me?
Michelle: Okay.
Stevens: Oh and I thought you should know Miss Edwards being a principal isn't exactly a high paying job. See my big brother is also the sheriff in this town and he realizes sheriff isn't a high paying job either.
Michelle takes this in and realizes she has nowhere to go.
Michelle: Okay.
Stevens walks over to her and puts his hand on her leg in a sexual way.
Stevens: Just make sure you remember that before you go and run your mouth.
Michelle gets up and exit's the room shaken up by what went down. She spots Dawn outside the room and quickly walks up to her.
Michelle: Where the hell did I move to?
Dawn: Yes. Owen told me you met the principal. I know he's kind of creepy but he is a nice guy.
Michelle: If you say so.
Dawn: Hey Ashely and I are heading to star bucks after school. Want to join us?
Michelle: Is it anything like this place?
Dawn: No.
Michelle: How could I turn down that offer then.
