The story

A group of students are preparing for a school dance.

The next morning, Pierre arrives at the school to see the Principal.

She feels a failure and envies Morgan for her graceful sensuality, remarking to Pierre that she is "like sex on hardwood." This gives Pierre an idea of how to reach out to the kids in detention.
