[back at the school; the girls are having breakfast]

Simone and Annabelle stumble in just in time. They share a few glances.

Cat: “So, where were you last night?”

Kri: “That’s not our business, Cat!”

Cat: “I bet you were doing miss Bradley”

A: “I was NOT doing anyone!”

Cat: “Oh please, it’s so obvious!”

Annabelle runs from the table.

Simone saw this, she stood up and followed Annabelle.

[dorm]

They’re sitting on Annabelle’s bed. Annabelle is crying. Simone is holding her.

S: “Honey, it’s ok.”

A: “No it’s not. Cat knows. And I just don’t want to lose you. Not because of something as stupid as Cat.”

S: “I understand that, but honestly, I don’t know what to do.”

They kiss. Sister Claire enters.

SC: “Oh my Lord!”

Sister Clare takes off, shocked.

S: “That did not just happen… ”

Simone stands up and leaves the room to go to her own.

[Simone’s room]

Mother Emaculata bursts into Simone’s room.

ME(yells): “Simone, I am very disappointed in you. You leave me no choice. I have to fire you.”

S: “But Mother Emaculata, I love teaching.”

ME: “You also love girls. And you don’t have the discipline not to fall in love.”

S: “I love women. And I happen to love Annabelle. Love is passion, not a discipline.”

ME: “Get your stuff out of here. I want you out in two hours.”

Mother Emaculata leaves. Simone starts crying. Annabelle enters.

A: “I heard yelling. Are you ok?”

S: “Annabelle, Emaculata fired me. I have two hours to get my stuff out of here.”

A: “I’ll help you.”

S: “Thank you.”
