Mrs: Amy: (announces from the doorway) No talking at the level zero table

(Both girls giggle)
Mrs.Amy: Zeta, i said no talkin, TIME OUT

Mrs.Amy: Time out!
Zeda: FUUUCKK YOU!
(the kids are all looking intently at Zeda and mumbling amongst themselves)
Mrs.Amy: Okay clear the room
(the other kids get up and start walking towards the door, two male staff members, both African American. One average build and light skinned *Mr.Stephen* the other Muscular and dark * Mr.Derrick* the two of them walk towards zeda along with Mrs. April.
Mr Derrick: Okay Zeda, we need you to get up and walk to time out

Zeda: Get the fuck off me, get the fuck off me
(The staff members lift zeda up by her limbs and carry her to the Behavior control room *an 8X8 room with , concrete brick walls and steel door with a large convex window made of plexyglass* aas she steadily struggles screaming obscenities at them. Once in the BCR the staff carry her to the back corner set her down and run out. she chases them to the door where she is pushed back in and the door is shut and locked)
Zeda: let me out of here!!! Let me the fuck out (she screams as she bangs on the plexy glass after a few seconds she walks to the back corner stares at the walls graffittied *carvings in the paint and doors* with pentagrams, NIN and other assorted relics of 90s teenage angst,) (Zeda lays her head in her knees and begins to cry)
(Zeda is sitting in a chair facing the wall outside the behavior control rooms, she looks over and Mrs.April shakes her head disapprovingly)
Mrs: April: So you're going to be out of here in 6 months?
(Zeda looks back at the wall)
