SCENE I

INT. GUIDANCE OFFICE – LATER

Ariella finishes taping the transcripts back together. It's a disaster. Student #3 enters.

TRANSCRIPT STUDENT

I thought you said you were going to fax my transcripts--

He screams and takes his taped up transcripts.

TRANSCRIPT STUDENT(CONT'D)

What did you do?

ARIELLA

How about we make a copy and then fax it? They won't even know the difference.

Spanish Class Student enters.

SPANISH CLASS STUDENT

Did you fix my schedule yet?

ARIELLA

Yeah. It's right over here.

She moves over to the desk, finds the schedule and hands it to her.

SPANISH CLASS STUDENT

It's hard enough to be in one Spanish class. How do you expect me to take three?

Another student enters.

TARDY STUDENT

Hey! You marked my tardiness as unexcused even though I gave you a note from home.

ARIELLA

I'm sorry, okay. Bring in another one tomorrow.

TARDY STUDENT

How am I supposed to do that when I can't remember what I wrote? Worst guidance counselor ever.

SPANISH CLASS STUDENT

Sí. I think.

All three students yell at Ariella. Ariella sinks underneath the desk and hides.
