The scene unfolds with Tara (portrayed by
Gwen Vicious) seated alone at her desk in an empty classroom, busily engaged in writing on a piece of paper. Her tutor,
Seth Gamble, is positioned at his own desk in front of her. The tranquility in the room is shattered by a knock on the door.
Both Tara and Seth glance towards the entrance to find Principal
Stirling Cooper present in the doorway, seemingly there for a routine inspection. Principal Cooper strides towards Tara and positions himself behind her, bending down to take a closer look at her assignment over her shoulder. However, unbeknownst to Tara, it's not her work that's under scrutiny.
Instead, Cooper is surreptitiously ogling her physique, gazing at her body in a somewhat disturbing manner. Tara remains oblivious as Cooper takes a subtle sniff of her neck. Eventually, Principal Cooper straightens up.
Tara subconsciously touches her neck where he had just sniffed her, not yet aware of what has transpired. He ambles to the front of the room, gesturing for Seth to join him in a confidential discussion. An unspoken agreement - something sinister and illicit - is exchanged between the two men as they share a knowing look and a slow, ominous grin.
'She is. PERFECT,' Cooper murmurs. CUT TO TITLE
Seth and Principal Cooper flank Tara at her desk, casting intimidating shadows over her. They assert their desire to become her friends.
The ambiance swiftly shifts to discomfort, and it doesn't take long for Seth and Principal Cooper to reveal their true intentions toward Tara. When Tara rebuffs their advances and threatens to expose their misconduct, the men retort that nobody will trust her as she is reputed to be dishonest. Eventually, she acquiesces to their demands.
A girl like Tara is an easy target for depraved individuals like Seth and Principal Cooper.
