FPE Impetus AU: Grading

*RUBY walks through the hall. At the end, all of the students and teacher's watch the scene. Except Miss Thavel. *  *RUBY sees what happened. *   *Robby's body is brutalized beyond recognition. Sasha's corpse is left in the same condition. One of the kindergarteners are crying over what remains. Whoever did this ...  *   *RUBY falls to her knees. She wishes she could have someone to blame. Wishes she could just ... yell. And cry. And scream. And complain. And just ... anything. Anything to whoever was willing to do something like this. Not just to them. To Miss Circle. To Miss Bloomie. To ∆lice. *   *Miss Grace sits at her desk. It's ... awfully loud. "Another kid must have failed." Miss Grace thinks. *   *Miss Grace exits her office and enters the halls. The noise grows louder, and she follow. *   *She sees the crowd. Her suspicion was correct. She breaks through the crowd. Robby. A shame .... that he ... fail-... *   *Miss Grace's eyes turn to the left. She sees her. Life*ess on the floor. *   *Miss grace turns around and analyses the crowd. Miss Bloomie. Miss Circle (And Mister Compass). Miss Thavel ... *   *Miss Grace would return to her office. She needs to be calm when she's doing this. Before she's about to call Miss Thavel. *   *Knock. * *Knock. * *Knock. *   Miss Grace: *Sighs* "Come in."   *Miss Bloomie walks in. *   Miss Bloomie: Miss Grace. I- ... Please don't fire Thavel.   *Miss Grace looks at Miss Bloomie, staring directly into her eyes. *   Miss Grace: Why not?   Miss Bloomie: ... You know that Thavel -   Miss Grace (Interrupted Bloomie): I could ... ignore the mistakes. This. THIS!!! is NOT something I can just ... look over.   Miss Bloomie: I -  I know, but maybe we could -   Miss Grace: Help her? You've had YEARS to help her, and you did nothing. She had her chance.   *knock* *knock*   Miss Grace: WHAT?!   *Miss Circ- no. Mister Compass enters. *   Miss Grace: What do you want?   Mister Compass: Look ... I heard about what Thavel did to Miss Sasha. How about ... I ... re ... place herrr....?   Miss Grace: ... You have no ...    *Miss Grace stands in silence for minutes on end. Miss Bloomie waits intently for Miss Grace's response. *   Miss Grace: You can act as a substitute. Thavel can stay. For now.   Miss Bloomie: Th-than-   Miss Grace: No. Compass. Leave. Bloomie. STAY.   *Mister Compass leaves the room. *   Miss Grace: *Sighs* Keep an eye on Thavel. Don't let this happen again.   Miss Bloomie: Yes, Miss Grace.   *Miss Bloomie leaves the room. Miss Grace brings up her phone, calls Miss Thavel, and says a few. simple. words. "Come to my office immediately." *   *Miss Thavel arrives, still covered in blood. *   Miss Thavel: y-   Miss Grace: I'm going to be as clear as possible. You are no longer allowed to k*ll. EVER. Not students. Not teachers. No ONE. EVER. If I hear even a hint that you are going to k*ll someone, I will fire you. The only reason you are still here is because of those two ... three friends you have. Leave. *Miss Thavel exits the office. She's about to exit the school when ... *   RUBY: Miss Thavel.   Miss Thavel: What!?   *RUBY backs away slightly. *   RUBY: ... What part of this is ... why ... I'm sorry. I'm just struggling to ... I ... do you know where Cubbie is? I - I just need to make sure he's feeling alright after what happened to Kevin.      *Miss Thavel ignores RUBY. She exits the school. *   " Why do we all have to suffer for such petty reasons?" RUBY thinks.
