Meeting
[At the Superintendent's office...]
"I'm glad you could all make it. We have something to discuss, particularly with that Rainbow girl. She's a menace that needs to be stopped. She knows far too much," protested Richard.
"Yes, but we can't just kick her out. That'll give her the freedom to strike back and she'll definitely be suspicious about it," noted Mrs. Weighs.
"She already hates the school so keeping her here is only going to make her angrier as time goes on," added Courtney.
"Absolutely right, Courtney. I was hoping being hall monitor would keep things moving, but instead I only got In the way," realized Madeline.
"We'll just have to put you more at an intersection so that you can watch as students come toward you. If they cause trouble, you can block the way to deal with it. Still, this is something we'll have to address for next year," concluded Mrs. Weighs.
"What about Rainbow? I stopped her, but obviously everyone knows about that now. I'd rather not reveal all my abilities at once. The students must still think I'm that sweet Superintendent they believe me to be," declared Richard.
"Then keep it that way. Play it off as a trick of the light or something. After all, you've lied for this long. Not everyone is as suspicious as Rainbow is," suggested Mrs. Weighs.
"Even I've played that game already. They hardly know me at all so it's easy just to make something up to put them at ease," explained Courtney.
"They even believe you're my sister. I'm just playing the part of sister while you're getting your degree," scoffed Madeline.
"Exactly. This 'security' thing is more of a side job every few days. My real job is actually the school principal at another school, High Raise Academy, which is leagues better than that run-down school for obvious reasons," agreed Courtney.
"At least we're all on the same page now. I'm sure Rainbow's parents will protest again this year, but we'll all be ready for them," assured Richard. [That night, at Samantha's house...]
"You look worn out, dear. What happened?" asked her father Daniel.
"We ran the mile in gym class today, on our first day. I'm really not sure what this school is all about now," admitted Samantha.
"Exercise is good for you, honey. Perhaps they've realized that and are going to be more normal going forward?" speculated her mother Patricia.
"I just feel that Rainbow is right about all this. She wasn't here last year, but we had someone pretty similar that felt the same way Rainbow does now," continued Samantha.
"Hmm, is she the only one to feel that way?" asked Patricia.
"Mostly, though others at least thought about it," replied Samantha.
"Perhaps we should look into this school to find out more about it," thought Daniel.
