[Now recording]
"Now class, no need to be alarmed, I'll only be here for a few minutes until Lancer gets back from a meeting. Continue on as normal."
[The students take his advice and begin to talk amongst themselves.]
"I'm sorry," Kiyanah interrupted loudly, "are you guys really gonna ignore what happened on that talk show?"
"What happened, Kiy?" Dylan questioned coolly.
"Megan, was being a vindictive bitch, as usual, and some real interesting stuff was said."
"Stop being messy, sis," April tells her from her seat.
"But the tea," she starts, "it's hot!"
"What tea," Paulina perks up.
"Kira jumped in to defend Dylan but ended up being exposed, then Dlyan defended her and exposed Megan in turn."
"Damn," April said shaking her head, "you bout messy as hell. Mind yours Kiyanah."
"But I'm just saying cause Megan is in front of Dash."
"Ok, and she won't try shit only if she doesn't want to get hit," Paulina says sweetly. "Isn't that right, Megan."
"I don't want him, ok."
"Bitch, please," Star said rolling her eyes, "you've been wanting him since you got in."
"You guys are being a bit unfair since Paulina still thinks Fenton is hot," Megan revealed.
"Ok, bitch, and so does every other female in this school. She ain't special," Valerie scoffed.
"Really, Valerie because I could've sworn you wanted to get with Kwan," Megan continued.
"Look, we get, the A-list are some pass arounds can we move on," Kelly called.
"They share boys like they share ponytail holders," Kira snorts.
"No, don't do that, because I got something else for you," Megan interrupts. "Cause Dylan didn't deny that you like him and neither did you."
"It's none of your business," April chimes in, "mind yours Megan."
"See no, cause you wouldn't be saying that if it wasn't true. And April, don't you like Tucker?"
"Yeah, he's smart," April deadpans.
"Now you know good and well that I didn't mean it like that."
"Oh my god," Michelle groans, "you guys are already too late for jumping on Megan. Her and Dash already did it. She's been working to usurp Paulina since last year. You guys are late. She also has almost slept her way through the whole football team."
[The class gapped at the girl. Then Paulina started yelling at Megan and Dash. Megan was yelling at Michelle while Michelle was yelling back at her. April was scrolling on her phone boredly. The new kids in the class looked confused. Dylan was texting on his phone. Kira was doing something on her phone. Danny and Tucker were ignoring their classmates, as usual. Mikey and Nathan were passing notes. The rest of the kids were looking out the window or around the classroom with disinterest.]
[Mr. Lancer comes through the door and sends Mr. Ranium out who had instructions to let any drama that happened play out instead of stopping it.]
"Well, hello students. I see you've gotten acquainted. But please do remember that we have new students here who are not yet used to you and all your chaos." Mr. Lancer tells them amusedly.
"It appears that we are missing two students. Has anyone heard from Ms. McKnight o Ms. Manson? Mr. Fenton, Mr. Foley?"
"She's sick," they say in unison.
"Sofie is still settling," Kelly tells Mr. Lancer.
"Very well. Now let's introduce our new students!"
"Kindly," Ricky interrupts, "fuck off, Lancer."
"Mr. Marsh," Lancer reprimands. "Yes Mr. Fenton?"
"Bathroom."
"Very well."
"Wait," Paulina says peeking around Star, "you're Mr. Knox's son. Durai, right?"
"That would be correct, miss." He gives her a charming smile.
"Why are you here Weston?" Tucker asks the boy intrigued.
"They said that I had moxie? Something about…. Ya know they might've put me in here cause I look like Phantom but obviously it's not me, it's Danny."
[Groans rang throughout the class.]
"Shut up Wes!"
"Who is this Phantom?" Durai asks looking around.
Paulina swoons, "He is the ghost boy who protects the town from other ghosts AND he's in love with me!"
"No, Paulina, just cause you're more in danger than anyone else does not mean," Abby says lightly.
"Shut up Greenwald, what do you know!"
"More than you apparently."
"What does he look like?"
"Handsome," Paulina sighs out, "he has snow white hair and glowing green eyes, and he's so fit, and tall, and…" she sighs dreamily.
"Interesting, that description sounds familiar…" he trails off looking out the window.
[The door is opened and Danny comes in with a small burn on the corner of his shirt and his hair burnt at the ends. He looks around the class for a second then makes his way back to his seat.]
"Nice of you to return Mr. Fenton," Lancer calls to the boy slumped over in his desk.
[Said boy raises a dismissive hand and lays his head down on his desk.]
"I guess we can start the lesson early," Mr. Lancer notes after looking at the clock.
"Are we just," Wes speaks up, "gonna like ignore the fact that his hair is burned and so is his shirt."
"Shut up Wes!" Voices chorus at once.
[Filming is over.]
