(Bette and Tina are In the Principals office discussing what happened)

Principal: “First of all I would like to ask you how Chloe is doing”

Tina: “Chloe’s doing ok thanks”

Bette: “No thanks to some of your pupils”

Principal: “Look Mrs Porter I can assure you there will be serious consequences for the ones involved”

Bette: “I should think so…If there isn’t, I will take this a lot higher and further”(With a frightening serious tone)

(Principal looks at Tina)

Tina: “Don’t look at me, I agree with Bette one hundred percent”(Looking back at the Principal)

Principal:” I understand that you are angry” (Bette cuts him off)

Bette: “No we are not angry, we are furious. Our daughter has been in a critical state for nearly a week now” (Angry recapping the state of her daughter)

Tina: “You have posters all over this school saying you wont tolerate bullying, but what you are really saying is that the bullies just don’t get caught” (Angry at how serious the principle is taking the matter)

Principal: “Look I give you my word I will take this matter seriously there will be serious consequences. Ok I will be in touch”(Signaling that the meeting is over)

Tina: “Make it quick because Chloe will not be returning to this school until it is sorted”(Taking Bette’s hand and walking to the door)
