Melanie is sitting in the classroom at her desk, because she is substituting for Ms. Chase’s class this week. A man named Ace Bigs walks into the classroom, looking for Ms. Chase. Melanie tells him that she is the substitute for the week. ‘Ms. Chase and I have a special deal going on lately. How do I say this? Cory takes care of my needs and I take care of Cory’s needs, and in exchange, she makes sure that my step-son passes her class,’ Ace confesses to Melanie.
