Kianna meets Bridgette

The classes have started up again, and Kianna is cleaning the cafeteria of all the messes that the students made

Kianna: My, what a mess they made. Can't they act like civilised people

?: I'm afraid they can't

Kianna turns around and is greeted by Bridgette

Bridgette: Hi, I haven't had a chance to introduce myself. I'm Bridgette, I'm the history teacher and the school counselor

Kianna: Hi, I'm Kianna the new lunch lady, and the cleaner of this mess

Bridgette: Sorry about that; some of these students are animals

Kianna: It's fine, at least I stay busy

Bridgette: That's true, so how are you doing

Kianna: Good so far, it was a little overwhelming, but I think I handled it

Bridgette: Did they all behave? Nobody made any inappropriate comments

Kianna: Some did. I wrote down their names; I'll give them to the headmaster at the end of the day

Bridgette: The headmaster, why?

Kianna: he told me to give him names, since he didn't want me to deal with it myself

Bridgette: I see

Kianna: he really is a wonderful man

Bridgette: Be careful with him

Kianna: why

Bridgette: Something about him is off, that's all I can say

Kianna: okay?

Bridgette: Just be careful, okay

Kianna: Alright, but I don't see any reason to doubt Aiden. He helped me by giving me this job, and that's without even mentioning what he did to Kai

Bridgette: Kai? You mean the one who's friends with Ava's son

Kianna: Yes, I'm Kai's mother

Bridgette: Oh, sorry, I didn't know

Kianna: It's alright

Bridgette: Oh, look at the time, it's almost time for to get to my next class. Just think about what I said

Kianna: I guess she's not really the kind that trusts people fast

Later at the end of the day, Bridgette is sitting behind her desk on her laptop

Bridgette: What am I missing

Someone knocks on the door

Todd: Is this detention

Bridgette: Get inside, put your phone on my desk and take a seat. I don't care what you do for the next hour, but you'll be quiet until detention is over

She says without even looking at him

Todd: Right

Todd does as she says and sits in silence for 10 minutes

Bridgette: What am I missing? His father owns the school, and yet there is almost no information about him

Bridgette finally looks away from her laptop and notices Todd

Bridgette: Todd? What are you doing here

Todd: Detention

Bridgette: I know that, but why? You've never had detention, you always follow the rules

Todd: I called Mom a bitch, without knowing she was standing behind me

Bridgette: Todd, come on, you know better than that

Todd: I know, it's just that she's been acting weird all day, well, weirder

Bridgette: What do you mean

Todd: She has become colder, but she became really cold this morning

Bridgette: What do you mean

Todd: I shouldn't talk about this

Bridgette: No, you should. I'm the school counselor, remember? You're supposed to come to me with problems

Todd: It's just that she was very mean, she was borderline bullying me this morning, only because I was a little late getting out of bed

Bridgette: This doesn't make any sense, Ava loves her children, she warm and kind. She would never do that

Bridgette: When did she start acting different

Todd: A couple of days ago, I guess

Bridgette: Around the same time as the new headmaster appeared

Todd: I guess, she must be really stressed with making sure she does her job well. Since Dad can't work, I guess she just lost it

Bridgette: And did something happen yesterday

Todd: Not really. The headmaster ate dinner with us, and stood up to me. Thanks to him, I had the pleasure of watching Lamar go around apologising to everyone he has ever bullied today

Bridgette: Why

Todd: To prove to the headmaster that he's serious about changing his ways, though he probably is just doing it so that the headmaster gives him permission to go to the playoffs

Bridgette: But you sure he left after dinner

Todd: Yeah, as far as I know

Bridgette: Something happened between Ava and that bastard, and I don't like it. I need to find out what

Bridgette: You can go home, Todd

Todd: But I have detention

Bridgette: Don't worry, you have my permission

Todd: Are you sure

Bridgette: Yeah, just go

Bridgette: Time to have a word with my good old friend Ava
