Jealousy at TAC

  * * *

  Mr Sanders met up with Ms Cann in the staffroom and sat in the corner of the room with a cup of tea each. ‘I can’t believe this school,’ he said. ‘Luxton’s incompetent. Not only does he not know how to maintain discipline in this school, not only does he let his students humiliate and disrespect his teachers, he allows them to blaspheme. Goodness me, I believe he is no better than some of his students. He has no respect for God or his teachings.’

  Ms Cann nodded. ‘I’m afraid a lot of the staff here are like that. This place is full of atheists and agnostics and they just don’t care. It’s no wonder this world is becoming so immoral. It’s no wonder we have girls here going around this school encouraging other girls to do perverted and disgusting acts with them.’

  ‘Really?’ Mr Sanders turned to her fascinated by what she had just said. ‘What sort of perverted and disgusting acts?’

  ‘Lesbian things. Why I saw two girls today doing stuff... Ooooh, it appals me.’

  Sanders couldn’t resist but ask. ‘What sort of things? I... I mean if this sort of stuff is going on in school it needs to be exposed and we should deal with the perpetrators.’

  ‘Two of them together,’ muttered Ms Cann.

  ‘Doing what?’

  ‘All over one boy.’

  ‘Ohhhhhh.’ The mental picture Sanders so longed to see in his mind, quickly vanished. ‘So it was two girls making out with one boy. Not a girl doing stuff with another girl?’

  ‘Yes! They were touching each other...’

  ‘What the girls were?’

  ‘No, they were touching the boy and he was touching them. In private places! Places he should not be touching!’

  ‘Oh... I see...’

  ‘Horrible. Disgusting.’

  ‘Errrr, yes...’ Sanders gazed off in the distance, but quickly pulled himself together. ‘Yes. Absolutely appalling. We can’t have that at all.’

  ‘No we can’t. That Vanessa. She is the worst. She sickens me!’

  ‘Why? I think she’s lovely.’

  Ms Cann stared at him in horror. ‘She’s despicable! She’s immoral and flaunts her sexuality. Do you know what she is?’

  Mr Sanders nodded. ‘Yeah, I know and it’s wrong, I agree, but... are you saying it was her with this other girl and boy?’

  ‘Yes! Her and her half sister… that Nadia. I don’t like her at all. She’s new to this school and already she’s cavorting with Vanessa, involving herself in sordid activities.’

  ‘Was the boy Rex?’

  ‘Yes.’

  ‘Well you see? There’s your problem. He misleads them. The devil is in that boy, I tell you. Satan manipulates him to take advantage of the fairer sex. Satan influences his mind and makes him twist God’s word.’

  ‘But Rex is a nice boy. Sure, his morality leaves a lot to be desired, but I really don’t think he can be blamed for the way Vanessa Dante is. If anyone has the devil in her, it’s that girl. She’s got his hooks into him. She’s a temptress…a Jezebel. She uses her sexuality to get him to do whatever she wants.’

  ‘You really think so?’

  ‘I know so!’

  ‘But that Rex. You should hear him, the way he mocks God and puts down the bible. He clearly works for the devil.’

  ‘No, I can’t believe that.’

  ‘It’s true! He tries to look at the things of God with a rational mind and with logic. How evil is that?’

  ‘Really?’ Ms Cann’s eyes saddened. ‘Is that what he does?’

  ‘Yes! Now you tell me he doesn’t have the devil in him.’

  Ms Cann said nothing and gazed down at the table.

  ‘So I say Rex is following the devil and you claim Vanessa is too… and well, the way she looks down her nose at me makes me think you might just be right. I believe she’s just as irreverent to God as that boy and certainly, judging by her chosen lifestyle, it’s hard to argue that they are not just two peas in the same pod. You say she has him under his control and that may be true too. He threatened violence towards me a few weeks ago, all because I didn’t give Vanessa a merit on her assignment.’

  ‘What?’ Ms Cann stared. ‘Are you for real? I... I just can’t imagine Rex would do that. But... but then again... he has used violence in the past. He is very dangerous. You should have seen the way he dealt with that gang leader…he could have killed him with his martial arts moves…’

  ‘Which is also more evidence that the devil is in him. Karate, Kung Fu and all those other forms of martial arts are satanic and open up people to the spirit of violence and witchcraft.’

  Ms Cann’s eyes widened. ‘And witches… most of them are lesbian!’

  ‘Exactly! So there you go… obviously both Rex and Vanessa need to go.’

  ‘Yes... I think you’re right.’

  ‘And it’s up to you and me to try to make sure this happens.’

  ‘But how? How do we achieve that?’

  ‘I’m not sure. But I think I might have an idea or two...’
