"I see," you say, nodding thoughtfully. "Well I hope I can live up to your expectations."

"I have no doubt that you'll do well," she smiles at you. "I suspect the girls will do better under you...I mean with you as coach," she blushes deeper at her unintended double entendre. She clears her throat, putting a professional expression back on her face.

"There is one thing you should know. Earlier today I revoked the eligibility of one of your players for disciplinary reasons. Her name is Valerie Cummins, and to be quite honest she has been a disciplinary problem since her first day at school. She is also, I should add, one of the better players on the team."

You nod thoughtfully, watching the headmistresses face to try to get a reading on what reaction she expects from you.

"May I ask what infraction was involved?"

"She was instigating a hazing ritual," Ms. Naylor answers, her blush deepening. "It is not her first offense, and she has a history of bullying. I want to make an example of her, and quite frankly, I'm considering expelling her."

"I see," you answer, noting the blush but not understanding the reason for it. "Thank you for letting me know."

"On another matter, I'm wondering if you would consider being an assistant coach to the soccer team. Miss Considine is excellent, but she could use some help."

"I don't know anything about soccer," you say with a shake of your head.

"But you know conditioning. And your status as a professional athlete will lend more than a little authority."

"I'm not sure," you say doubtfully.

"Let me have Miss Considine speak to you about it," she says as though you've agreed. "She can tell you better than I what kind of help she needs."
