(Bell rings)
Student: Guys, come quick! There's a fight going on! The pink-haired devil is at it again!
Jake's Mind: Pink-haired devil? Wait, don't tell me..
Miss Jones: Girls, stop fighting this instance!
Lia: Get the hell off her!
Zoey: Get off me, you psycho!
Milly: Not so big and mighty now, are ya?! Now, give back what's mine!
Jake: Hey, get off of her! Come on, Milly!
Milly: Ugh, get off me! (punches Jake)
Milly: Let- go of me!
Luke: Just- (grunts) calm down!
Miss Jones: (sighs) Thank you Luke. Okay everyone, it's almost first period. Be on your way now!
Drew: What's going on? Babe! are you okay?
Zoey: No! that wild animal just attacked me!
Henry: Jake! What happened to your eye?!
Liam: Wow, she did that to you? That's one hell of a feisty woman.
Jake: Yeah.. I'm okay guys. Thanks for asking.
Drew: Are you hurt anywhere babe?
Zoey: (fake cries) My whole body hurts, she threw me to the floor and pulled my hair really hard!
Milly: Oh please, stop with the crocodile tears you fake tart, it's embarrassing!
Zoey: Miss! she needs to be locked up in a zoo! She's a danger to this school!
Milly: You're one to talk, you snake!
Miss Jones: Girls, please! Enough of this! Millicent, violence will not be tolerated in this school! I don't think you realize how close you are to expulsion! If I find you in anymore trouble... You won't be allowed to compete in the band competition!
Sean, Zander, Hailey, Luke: What!?
Miss Jones: I will be having a serious conversation with your parents about this. I expect to see you after school in my classroom for detention.
Milly: BUT SHE- Argh, whatever!
Luke: Milly, come back! (chases after her)
Drew and Zoey: (laughs)
Hailey: Miss, please don't do that! This competition means the world to us; Milly is an important member of our group! We can't perform in the competition without her!
Miss Jones: I understand Hailey, but Milly needs to stop attacking people! If she can't stop being violent, then I'll have no choice.
Drew: Serves her right, the savage.
Henry: (laughs) remind me to never get on her bad side.
Liam: I guess she's the type that can't be tamed, huh?
Henry: Ugh, Here we go again...
Lia: Oh my god, Jake, are you okay!? That savage punched you right in the face! Should I take you to the school nurse?
Jake: Oh, thanks Lia, but I'll be alright; it's just a bit of swelling.
Jake's POV: Well that was an unexpected... and painful... start to the morning. What the heck was that all about?
Milly: I told you I'm fine!
Luke: You can talk to us about anything, Milly. What did she do?
Milly: It's nothing! I'm dealing with it!
Hailey: But we can deal with it together! We're worried about you!
(Door creaks)
Sean: Woah, are you okay Jake? Your eye!
Jake: I'm uh, fine. A certain someone punched me in the face just now.
Hailey, Luke, Sean: Milly! (Zander smiles)
Milly: Sorry, okay? It was a reflex! I don't like being manhandled.
Jake: Yeah, I realize that now... So what exactly was that all about?
Zander: That's what we're trying to figure out . . .
Milly: And I told you it's none of your business!
Hailey: Look Milly, I know what those girls are like; they harass me as well. But if you keep getting into trouble like this, the school won't let you compete in the band competition! You could get expelled! We don't want to lose you! So please, stop fighting!
Milly: I-It's not as simple as that!
Zander: That's a little selfish, don't you think? Because you can't control your anger, we all have to pay the price. Does the band mean nothing to you!?
Milly: You don't understand how I feel, Zander! Those girls have picked on me ever since I entered this hellhole of a school! You can't stop me from fighting! those girls are asking for it!
Luke: Guys, why don't we just calm down-
Zander: You're not doing yourself any favors! All your doing is giving yourself an even worse reputation in school!
Milly: That's it! I've had enough of all of you! Stop trying to control me, just leave me the hell alone!
Hailey: Milly, let's talk about this!
Sean: Great... She's on a rampage again...
Luke: What are we going to do? We can't lose our main guitarist!
Zander: (sigh) What can we do? She basically just told us that she'll do whatever the hell she wants; we have no control of her.
Hailey: You don't need to fight! We can deal with whoever's bothering you, together!
Milly: I said I'm dealing with it by myself!
Hailey: Milly, I'm worried about you. I don't want you getting into more trouble!
(Redemption GLMV)
Hailey: (sigh) What am I going to do?
Jake's POV: Milly seems really important to these guys... maybe I should investigate what her deal with Zoey is, before she gets into more trouble.
(In the Library)
Miss Jones: Okay class, I want you to find one novel of your choosing and fill out your worksheets! You have just under an hour, and when you're finished, please hand them to me! Have fun!
Lia: I can't believe she said that!
Zoey: I know! She had the audacity to call me a snake, I'm missing chunks of my hair because of her!
Lia: Ugh, she shouldn't be allowed in this school.
Jake's POV: They must be talking about Milly...
Zoey: Anyways, I just can't believe that she has a crush on that nerd! (Laughs)
Lia: I know right?! She has such weird taste in boys. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Hailey, Jake: . . .
Jake: (whispers) Hey! What are you doing!?
Hailey: (whispers) What am I doing? What are you doing?!
Jake: (whispers) I'm trying to figure out what Zoey has on Milly!
Hailey: (whispers) Well, that's what I'm trying to do!
Sadie: Um... I need to get a book between you two. Could you move?
Jake: S-sure!
Hailey: (nervous laughter) Sorry.. Sadie..
Jake: I guess we had the same idea, huh?
Hailey: Seems like it.. It sounds like they know something about a crush of hers. I'm going to confront them myself!
Jake: Wait! (grabs her hand) I have a plan that I think will work. Will you trust me?
Hailey: S-sure but, could you let go of my hand?
Jake: Huh? Oh, uh s-sorry! You stay here, I'll talk to the girls!
Jake: Hey girls, watcha talking about?
Lia: Oh, hi Jake! Not much.
Zoey: None of your business. Why?
Jake: Well, I just happened to overhear something about somebody's crush. Thought you might share the gossip.
Zoey: Well, if you're so interested.. you know that little rat Milly from this morning? The one that yanked half of my hair out.
Jake: Yes... I remember...
Jake's POV: I have a black eye from her if you hadn't noticed...
Zoey: Well, I may or may not have taken her diary and found some juicy information about her crush. I even have a page ripped out as proof.
Jake's POV: Oh, so that's why Milly is so angry at Zoey, this girl is really something else.
Zoey: But it's her fault for leaving it out on her desk; someone else would've picked it up.
Jake: Isn't that like, breaking girl code or something?
Zoey: That's if you even consider her a girl. She's a tramp!
Lia: Totally!
Jake: Yeah, um, I think you should give that back to her.
Zoey: Excuse me!? Are you seriously on her side, even after what she did to me this morning?! I know you only joined their freak show to sing or whatever, but it's not like you need her!
Jake: Alright fine, keep it. I'll just be on my way. Y'know what? I think I might go see what Drew is up to, I've yet to tell him about how I saw you with your sugar daddy last weekend...
Zoey: W-what?!
Lia: Wait, how do you know about that?!
Jake: Well, Zoey wasn't exactly low key about it at the shopping mall last month ago when I happened to walk by. And if my memory serves me right, you had your arm clung tightly around his. Aw, you two looked very cosy together.
Zoey: YOU. WOULDN'T. DARE!
Jake: Try me.
Zoey: Take it!! You can give it back to that freak. And it's not like I was actually going to tell people anyway, i-it was just a joke! Just.. please don't tell Drew about what you saw.
Jake: Cross my heart.
Lia: Wow, I didn't know Jake had such a bad boy side to him. It's kind of hot.
Zoey: Lia! I just got blackmailed!
Lia: (sigh) Sorry, Zoey.
(Back with Hailey)
Jake: Mission success!
Hailey: I can't believe those girls, snooping into people's diaries like that.
Jake: It wouldn't be the first time.
Hailey: Thank you, Jake, I really owe you.
Jake: Uh, nah.. I did it for my friend, Milly. So uh, do you think this will be enough to stop her from all the fighting?
Hailey: I think so. I know how important the music club is to Milly too. But I know why she has a lot of anger...She struggles to make friends in her class. Especially with other girls...And girls in high school, aren't always the nicest to each other...I'm glad that she has us. You can tell that she feels free to be herself in the club. I feel the same way!
Hailey: On second thought, I think I should take that from you.
Jake: Wait what? Why should you have it? I'm the one who got it back after all. Oh I get it, you just want to take all the credit.
Hailey: Don't be stupid, I just can't trust you not to read it!
Jake: Hey! I would do no such thing! I'm a gentleman at heart, after all! Besides, haven't I already gained your trust?
Hailey: I suppose you're right. I trust you. Just, give to her as soon as you can. Before she has another scrap in the hallway, and she really does get kicked out of school.
(At the Music Room)
Sean: Ugh...
Daisy: (knocks the door) Um, hello? This is the music room, right?
Sean POV: Woah, she's really cute...
Sean: Uh...yep, that would be this room, (laughs nervously)
Daisy: Right, silly me...I just thought rehearsals for the band competition would be going on right now.
Sean: Oh, well they would be, but we usually have practice at lunchtimes now.
Daisy: Oh...I see. Sooo... What do you play?
Sean: Uh... you mean in the band?
Daisy: Yes! I'm very interested in your band, and super excited for the competition! I bet it'll be amazing-
Daisy: (blushes) Oh, s-sorry, I got a little too excited there.
Sean: That's okay, I'm glad to see other people excited for us! To be honest, I don't really play any particular instrument in the club. I usually produce the music, find beats, that sort of thing.
Daisy: Oh, that sounds fun!
Sean: Yep! It's pretty fun! Haha...
...
Sean: Can I...help you with anything else?
Daisy: Oh, no! Well, I was wondering, why you're cleaning by yourself. I don't mean to sound rude, but isn't that the janitor's job?
Sean: Um...I guess it is. But I like to do it by myself. Cleaning is sort of a hobby of mine.
Daisy: I see. But...Isn't it lonely staying behind after school to clean a classroom?
Sean: You don't need to worry about me, I want to stay behind! And besides, Mr. Broom and I have plenty of great conversations together. He's great company!
(laughs nervously)
Daisy: Hey, how about I keep you company!
Sean: Oh, there's no need t-
Daisy: That's okay! I love cleaning too! Plus, it's much more fun when you have company, right?
Sean: Well, alright then! Thank you uh...Sorry, what's your name?
Daisy: I'm Daisy! It's a pleasure to meet you!
Sean: Oh, you too! I'm Sean!
Daisy: Oh I see, so you're Sean! Jake has told me a bit about you. You're in the year above, right?
Sean: Yeah, I'm sort of the big brother of the group.
Daisy: That's so sweet! I bet they look up to you.
Sean: Well, not to toot my own horn, but I guess they do. Hey, wanna listen to a new track I've been working on while we clean?
Daisy: I would love to!
(In the hall)
(Zoey and Lia walk past)
Milly's POV: Did they just...avoid me? I guess yesterday did the trick. I am pretty terrifying.
Jake: Hey Milly!
Milly: Oh, sup'?
Jake: I have something to give ya.
Milly: You ...do?
Milly: W-where did you get that?! Give it here!
Jake: Hey, chill out. I was going to give it to you anyways. Um...you okay Milly?
Milly: I-if you tell anyone about this-
Jake: Oh, don't worry! I didn't read it. Well, I heard a bit from Zoey and Lia, but they didn't actually say who the mystery boy was.
Milly: Tch. Those guys are bound to tell the whole school eventually.
Jake: I wouldn't be so sure of that. I sort of have my own dirt on Zoey, so she promised to keep her mouth shut. They won't be telling anyone about this.
Milly: You... blackmailed your friend for me?
Jake: Um...well, when you put it like that... (Milly hugs Jake) Uh w-woah there!
Milly: Thank you Jake! I didn't know what to do...you really saved me!
Jake: ...It was nothing. Anything for a friend.
Milly: I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys. I was just... embarrassed. I thought I could deal with those girls by myself but, in the end, I just made it worse. Oh, and I'm really sorry for punching you. I really didn't mean too... I feel really bad about it...
Jake: Oh this? Ah don't worry. I know you didn't actually mean it. Besides, I think it kind of makes me look tough.
Milly: Pfft, whatever makes you feel better about it.
Jake: So, you promise not to get into anymore scraps?
Milly: Yeah... I promise. Man, I'm so glad you got this back for me, if the whole school found out who my crush was, I think I would have to change schools-
Elliot: Oh, hey, Milly! I just wanted to tell you that the orchids have started to bloom. You should come by and see sometime!
Milly: O-okay.
Elliot: Great! Well, s-see ya!
Jake: Wait, he's your crush?!
Milly: (Punches Jake's stomach)
Jake: Ow!
Milly: Don't shout it out loud, you idiot!
Jake: Sorry, sorry, it's just... he's not what I expected.
Milly: Hmph.
Jake's POV: But I guess opposites do attract, huh?
Daisy: Oh, Jake! I'm glad I caught you! I meant to watch you at rehearsals yesterday, but I got the time wrong! Will you guys be practicing today?
Jake: Um, y-yeah, we will! I'll uh- we'll be there at lunchtime!
Daisy: Wonderful! I'm looking forward to it!
Milly: Sooo... I guess I'm not the only one with a crush.
