The text appears to be a dialogue from a classroom setting, with a teacher addressing her students about their poor performance in a test. The teacher, frustrated with their lack of study, suggests they take the class more seriously. A student named Piper, who performed well, is commended, and another student, Pepper, is shown to be unhappy with the situation.
The teacher also mentions an upcoming Valentine's Day event, reminding students to buy candy grams and dance tickets. The class is then interrupted by a student, Lev, who sends a valentine to Piper via another student. Piper is initially nervous but eventually decides to call Lev back.
The dialogue then shifts to an encounter between Piper and her friend Jenna, who is getting ready for a dance. They are interrupted by a bullying incident involving Piper, which is carried out by a group of girls led by Piper's sister, Ellie. Jenna tries to intervene, but Piper refuses to talk to her.
Jenna then explains to Piper that Ellie's bullying behavior is due to her insecurities and feelings of not being good enough. Jenna promises to handle the situation when she gets home and reassures Piper that Ellie doesn't want to hurt her.
The dialogue ends with a reminder about the prevalence of bullying and the importance of standing up for those being bullied.
