  " .2 The teacherthen turns and walks back into the classroom and sits at her desk, emailing all teachers not to let Mr Louis out of school at the end of the day and to send him back to her.

TEACHER Ryan how are you? You always walk into class with your head down, don’t say anything to anyone, and simple just get your work done.

Ryan sits still fidgeting with the hem of his shirt purposely avoiding eye contact with the teacher say nothing back to her statement. GEORGE Err, yeah everything’s fine Miss, I just don't really think the kids in this class like me, and that fine I’m fine with having no one to talk to in here, it means I get to concentrate on my work more. The teacher moves her hand to rest on his arm and starts to stoke it. TEACHER George you can talk to me! If the kids in here are picking on you, you have to tell me. I can’t help you unless you tell me that something is wrong.
