Sian: we missed so much you know, we’re going to be well behind

Sophie: well that’s the least of our worries

Sian: yeah what are we going to tell everyone?

Sophie: I don’t know the truth, we’ve got nothing to hide

Sian: yeah I know but what are we going to tell the teachers

Sophie: I’ll get my mum to write us a note. Dear Sir, Sophie and Sian have been absent because they have been struck down by lesbianitus

Sally: don’t be daft, we’ve got that meeting today we can talk things through

Sophie: yeah thanks for sorting it

Sally :we’re seeing the head at half past ten, can you go and make yourselves decent please

Headmaster: they have missed rather a lot of school

Sally: well as I have said they’ve had personal problems

Headmaster: would you care to elucidate?

Sally: no not really, like I said it’s personal

Headmaster: I hae of course heard the rumors, maybe you would like to use this opportunity to set the record straight

Sally: are you trying to be funny?

Headmaster: not at all

Sophie: well me and Sian are together if that is what you’re trying to get at

Headmaster: so your continued absence from school was due to relationship problems

Sally: they didn’t run of to Lesbos to live in a yurt, things have been difficult for them, impossible, they’ve had a lot to cope with

Headmaster: that may be but running away was not the answer, they have missed so much schooling there is no hope of the catching up

Sally: oh and doesn’t that just suit you fine

Headmaster: Mrs Webster I can assure you…

Sally: you can assure me all you like, I can see exactly what you really think 

Sally: look the fact of the matter is it will be impossible for them to catch up now

Headmaster: shame on you, you just don’t want them here because of the way they are, it’s not like they’ve been on some mad bender drinking and taking drugs, they’re a couple of decent honest hardworking girls that just happen…happened to have fallen in love with each other. Do you know what they don’t deserve this, we’re not all the same, people are as they are, they shouldn’t have to apologise for it and if you took your head out of your backside for one second, you might realise that

Sophie: what are you doing? Trying to spot the signs, see where it all went wrong

Sally: don’t be daft, ah look at that, you had just had your tonsils out. I remember seeing you in that hospital bed, looking all small and pale, I thought I’d die if anything ever happened to you, I loved you so much

Sophie: mum

Sally: all you want to do is protect your kids, keep them safe, you think you can that’s the stupid thing, you actually think you can

Sophie: yeah well you was good today weren’t you, sticking up for us and everything

Sally: it’s a very tough world out there, I mean any kind of different is dangerous

Sophie: I know

Sally: if I could wave a magic wand, right now and make you normal, I’m telling you I’d do it but I can’t so I’m just going to have to wait for the shock to wear off and in time I’ll get used to a different sort of normal

Sophie: ey, I loved them dungarees, I even slept in them sometimes. Do you think that’s what did it?
