Principal Wells: Miss Caulfield, why exactly were you on the roof with Kate Marsh 1? Did she tell you her plan? Or anything at all? Please, tell us everything.
Max: Mr. Madsen was bullying 2 Kate.
David: Oh, grow up...
Max: Excuse me, I was there! I saw you getting in her face!
David: You have no idea what you saw. Kate Marsh was involved with a bad crowd. I was trying to found out who...
Nathan: Kate had a _(1)_ life. I was super shocked when I found out...
Max: No, you were part of the crowd. And like I said, I personally saw David physically 3 harass 4 Kate Marsh.
David: You lying little... Are you going to take this troublemaker's word over your security officer?
Max: And he should take the word of somebody who harasses 5 students?
Principal Wells: Max, I'm afraid this won't be solved here without proof and a _(2)_ investigation 6. Now, if you have anything else to say...
Mr. Jefferson: Excuse me, I think Max and Nathan need a break before we grill 7 them further. A friend and student just tried to kill herself... They don't need this forum 8 right now.
Nathan: Yes, I'm kinda devastated 9 right now. I'd like to be with my family.
Principal Wells: All right, Miss Caulfield, please sign here to confirm what you've told us. I'll continue this investigation from here. Well, I think we know less now than when we started. We'll be assisting the police with further inquiries 10. I know this has been a stressful day... I wish I had the power to change it all for the better... so thank you, for coming in.
Max: I couldn't even believe it was happening. It was literally 11 __(3)__ as I grabbed her hand... and then I could feel her grabbing mine...
Warren: Max, that was the greatest thing I've ever seen. Ever. You reached out, she reached out... Hugs, tears, applause... Like a superhero!
Max: Not quite. Look at me, I'm a mess.
Warren: You're glowing. Seriously .A human halo. I'm pretty sure you earned your wings today.
Max: I'm still worried about Kate. She did try to kill herself. All over a video...
Warren: "Viral" is the right word. Like a disease.
Max: So you watched it?
Warren: Just one--and a half times.
Max: Warren, I don't mean to sound weird 12, but there's something ominous 13 going on at Blackwell...
Warren: Today proves that.
Max: And I'm working on proof that Kate Marsh is connected to Rachel Amber 14... somehow. Along with Nathan and Mr. Madsen.
Warren: I'm not a big conspiracy 15 guy, but I wouldn't doubt it. Nathan did scare me yesterday and Madsen is a straight-up dickhead. So... what do you think is really happening?
Max: What the hell is this... The weather confirms this weird day. Feel that chill...
Warren: Max, ______(4)______... I would know. I would.
Max:I believe you, Warren... I'll believe anything this week...
