Easy Pickings

Scene opens on Tara at her desk, pencil scratching paper while Seth watches from up front. The only sound is that scrape until a knock cuts it. Principal Cooper steps in like he owns the place. He drifts behind Tara, leans over her shoulder, and while she keeps writing, he lets his eyes crawl over her body and takes a slow sniff of her neck. She never catches it. Just reaches up and rubs the spot a second later, still clueless. Cooper walks off, waves Seth into a huddle, and the two men trade a filthy little look. 'She is...PERFECT,' he mutters. Cut to titles. Now they flank her desk, one on each side. They spin the “just want to be friends” line, but the air gets thick fast. When she pushes back and threatens to talk, they smirk—nobody’s going to buy her word over theirs. She’s a known liar, after all. Tara’s trapped, and the two of them know it. A girl like her was always easy meat for creeps like this.
