________________________________________________________________
SCENE 2- SCHOOL
Scene opens up with outside of school. Then about half a second later, zoom in to see their lockers numbered 112 (Utahna) and 114 (Ammaron).
(Maybe add small talk or something in this part?) Midnight (the owl) in the locker could be a quick and fun scare to the audience, and it would be best to build up to it instead of it just casually happening -DC)
Both Lockers Click as they open
Midnight is in Utahna’s locker
Utahna yelps
Midnight screeches and puffs up from being scared by Utahna.
UTAHNA
(Yelling)
What is your “pet” doing in here?
AMMARON
Whoa! Calm down! He just doesn't like my locker. I have no idea how even gets in the school, better yet the locker.
Ammaron picks up Midnight and places him in his locker.
UTAHNA
(Sigh)
At least tell me if he’s in there next time, I don’t want to be terrified by an owl every day for the year.
________________________________________________________________
SCENE 3- MR. ODD
Scene opens with Mr. Odd rushing into the room as the bell rings. He is carrying a stack of papers with a couple flying off as he rushes to his desk. He has his phone between his ear and his raised shoulder, and talking in a hushed tone. A kid follows behind him picking up his papers. The class is laid out as 4 rows of desks separated by a single aisle in the center. total of 8 tables with 4 kids at each.
As soon as he approaches his desk he puts the papers on the desk, says good-bye on the phone, and half-heartedly smiles to the kid who gave him the papers.
MR. ODD
Sorry I’m late, but I’m a busy man. Anyways, allow me to tell you a little about this class. I will let you do what you want, so you may consider this class a free period and easy A, credit included. However, at one point in the year I will give you all a very big assignment. And by big, I mean it can’t be done overnight. You may have to work a little hard.
Mr. Odd sits down
All the students pull out their phones and starts texting on them, some students begin to talk to each other. Zoom toward Ammaron and Utahna in back of the class.
AMMARON
(whispers)
Well this is going to be easy.
UTAHNA
(Whispers)
It sure looks that way. I'm just not sure if I'm going to like this class or not.
________________________________________________________________
SCENE 4- THE SWEATER
Bell rings. Everyone rushes out of Mr. Odds class. They soon meet the rest of the school in the hallway, Ammaron and Utahna struggle to get their locker.
Lockers click as they open
There is now a computer setup on a shelf in Utahna’s locker.
AMMARON
(amazed)
Whoa! Where the did you get that?
UTAHNA
(Nonchalantly)
Oh, my brother must have put it in.
The computer screen turns on. Ezekial’s head is floating on the screen.
EZEKIAL
Hey Utahna, I'm sending over a new prototype. I want you to test it out for any side effects. Hold out your hand.
Laser/holograms come from bottom of screen and “transports” a very pink girly sweater with hearts and unicorns all over.
AMMARON
(Shocked)
Wow, that sure is for a girl. Don't you think it's it's a little, uh, pink?
UTAHNA
(Nervous)
(Directed to Ezekial)
Ya… I uh, guess I can try it on.
Ezekial
(Warningly)
Just remember. The sweater MUST be contacting skin. You can’t just wear it over a shirt.
AMMARON
(concerned)
(Directed to Utahna)
Whoa, whoa, whoa… why would you try this on Utahna? It’s obviously extremely girly, and you hate overly girly things.
UTAHNA
(As if nothing is wrong)
Oh… well, I forgot you don’t know. My brother does this all the time. These little experiments, they can be quite fun at times.
AMMARON
(Slightly less concerned)
And what about side effects?
UTAHNA
(rushed)
Look, we don’t have all day, the bell is going to ring soon, I got to hurry.
Utahna goes into the girl's bathroom to change, after a few seconds, she reappears outside in the hall again, with the sweater on.
PERSON 1
(sarcastically)
HAHA, Don’t you think you’re a little old for that?
Utahna stumbles for words, then goes back in the bathroom and changes back, then walks back to the locker.
EZEKIAL
What happened to the sweater? Why aren’t you wearing it?
UTAHNA
Sorry Ezekial, not going to happen. It’s WAY too childish for me.
(Utahna walks away, leaving the locker open.)
AMMARON
(Curiously)
So, what does this sweater do exactly?
EZEKIAL
I wish I could tell you, but I don’t want you influenced by anything I say. Plus, you wouldn’t believe me.
AMMARON
(irritated)
Well, I guess I could wear it under my jacket.
EZEKIAL
(irritated)
I don’t care who wears it, but whoever does, they MUST have the sweater contacting the skin.
*BELL RINGS*
Focus in on the bell on the wall, directly above their lockers. Stay there while bell rings, then go to next scene.
________________________________________________________________
SCENE 5: MATH
Focus on Utahna in math class from behind looking at the door. Door opens with Ammaron rushing in. You can see his jacket puffed up, with pink poking out in the top and bottom openings of the jacket, which is zipped up. Ammaron then walks to a seat right to Utahna. Covering camera. Camera then goes to the right, looking at front of class while also seeing ammaron, and utahna slightly.
As Ammaron walks through-
AMMARON
(whispering urgently)
Sorry!
Class is silent except the Ammaron’s footsteps, some kids watch him slowly work his way to his desk.
Ammaron sits down- camera change as listed.
UTAHNA
(whispering/questioningly)
What took you so long?
AMMARON
(whispering/annoyed)
Well YOU didn’t want to wear it…
Ammaron unzips his jacket enough to show the sweater, while slightly turned to Utahna (can see teacher talking and writing)
AMMARON
(continued whisper)
so I did. Man, it’s hot in this thing.
TEACHER
(tapping foot impatiently)
you going to sit there talking to your girlfriend or would you like to finish this problem?
(This gets ‘Ooh’s and laughs from the students in the class)
AMMARON stumbles for words, then starts to say
AMMARON
confused/defensively)
She’s not my...
Ammaron stops then just walks up to the board.
Camera zooms up to him at the board, facing him tilted almost vertically, his ha
nd with an Expo marker in hand, and audience sees a problem “” Slowly Ammaron attempts the problem, then soon quickly his hands rush, barely able to see them (blurring slightly) then finishes the problem. Ammaron rushes to the chair after finishing the problem. Ammaron pulls out a notebook, and starts fanning himself.
UTAHNA: (amazed/whispering)
Holy Cow! That was fast!
Ammaron looks up from his notebook and finds everyone staring at him, some mouths open.
Teacher: (fazed)
Uh, umm, that’s correct.
Ammaron: (false smile)
Uh, he, thanks.
Teacher: (suspiciously)
Come here.
Ammaron slowly sets down his notebook, the room is quiet except for Ammaron’s footsteps, and a whisper here and there. Everyone’s heads are following him up the aisle of desks. (same setup as the science room.)
The teacher quickly writes a problem: P(.28 x 1.53) None of the kids understand and has not been taught. The teacher then hands the marker to Ammaron, at first he looks at it confused then he takes of the lid to the marker and starts doing the problem, starting slowly then quickly, as the problem from the first time. A couple seconds later the problem is done, work shown and all. A little steam/smoke rises from the sweater (under his jacket) Ammaron is sweating.
TEACHER: (fazed/complete disbelief looking at floor)
Th-That’s that’s correct!
AMMARON: (nauseous)
May I use (slight pause) the restroom?
TEACHER: (still fazed)
Sh-sure.
Teacher waves hand in front still confused
UTAHNA: (curious)
Me too please?
Teacher (still looking at floor, a little irritated)
I don’t care.
________________________________________________________________
SCENE 6: News
Back to the lockers, Ammaron is nauseous and is waiting for Utahan sitting against the locker doors. (he was still there when she asked to leave to “go to the restroom”)
Utahna walks to the locker-
Unlocks her locker-
UTAHNA: (slightly worried)
You know, you have my code right?
AMMARON: (nauseous)
Ya, but I can barely stand.
UTAHNA: (confused/worried)
What the was that??!
AMMARON: (exhausted/confused)
I-I have absolutely (very slight pause) no idea, but I’m dead-tired.
Short pause of ammaron just looking up at Utahna. Ammaron’s locker swings open, (nearly hitting him on the head from underneath) Midnight swoops out, and turns around landing next to Ammaron, after landing tilts head, and hoots once. Ammaron then pets him for a moment. Utahna pretends not to notice.
UTAHNA: We need to talk to my brother. Immediately.
Ammaron stands up. Utahna boots up computer, green flash on screen, then Ezekial appears. Looking down. Then looks up quickly (he heard a noise from computer.)
EZEKIAL: (startled)
Oh, hey guys, I wasn’t expecting you for…
(Ezekial looks down at watch. The audience can’t see the watch but you see his head turn downwards.)
… another 10 minutes.
UTAHNA: (rudely slightly)
Ya, well, about that… (cut off from ezekial)
EZEKIAL: (shocked/angry/urgent)
WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PROTOTYPE?!
UTAHNA: (slightly mad)
That’s what I was saying… until you (cut off again by Ammaron.)
AMMARON: (nauseous/weak)
This prototype, or whatever you call it, almost KILLED me.
EZEKIAL: (thoughtful/quietly)
What happened?
AMMARON:
Well, when I put the sweater on, I--
BELL RINGS
KIDS RUSH OUT OF ROOMS
APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS AFTER ZOOMS BACK ON AMMARON
AMMARON:
-- and then we called you,
EZEKIAL: (hands on chin, rubbing slightly, perplexed)
Hmm, odd. Take off the sweater, and when you get out of school, come over, and I’ll give it a closer look.
AMMARON: (a little relieved)
Ok, thanks, bye.
FOCUS IN ON COMPUTER SCREEN, COMPUTER SCREEN TURNS OFF, SCREEN GOES BLACK FOR A SECOND, THEN SCENE CHANGES.
________________________________________________________________
SCENE 7- GOOD AND BAD NEWS
Scene begins at Utahna’s home. Ammaron knocks on the door, then walks in. As he walks over to the living room you see that it is empty.
AMMARON: (slightly confused, loudly)
Anyone home?!
EZEKIAL: (busy, loudly)
Over here!
Ammaron walks over to Ezekial’s room. You see it dark and relatively gloomy. His bed is on the left side when you are facing in from the door. The bed is messy. To the right you see that there is a desk. Between the desk and bed there is about 6 feet. On the walls are “anonymous” posters, and other nerd/geek posters. In front of the desk is Ezekial in a black office chair. The desk is about 5 feet long. On top of it and to the sides are wires, and other robotic/invention “projects”. On the desk are 6 monitors. Three on the desk, 3 on top of the monitors.
EZEKIAL: (spinning around)
Come on in.
EZEKIAL: (questioning)
Where’s Utahna?
AMMARON:
Oh, she’s just practicing for cheer.
EZEKIAL:
Oh, wow, I’m surprised that has started already.
AMMARON:
Yea, it’s an all year thing I think.
EZEKIAL:
Anyways, I assume you came to find out what happened?
AMMARON:
Yea, that was my intention.
EZEKIAL: (slightly embarrassed)
Well, um. To be honest, I have no idea.
AMMARON: (shocked)
Wh-What do you mean!
EZEKIAL: (kind of distracted)
From the information the sweater gave back to me, there should have been no reason to overheat.
There is a short pause
EZEKIAL: (thinking)
Wait… didn’t you say that you were wearing the sweater underneath your jacket?
AMMARON: (slightly confused)
Yes… but that shouldn’t matter right?
EZEKIAL:
Actually, it is probably why everything happened. You see, I made this a sweater so that it could cool off. The gaps between the wire, and the outside is very thin, but more than enough to normally keep it cool. However you blocked not only the air passage, but most likely covered up the holes.
AMMARON: (pondering)
Hmm, well, what are you going to do now? Utahna clearly won’t wear it, you are influenced by it, and I still have some sense of decency.
EZEKIAL: (in a funny/sarcastic way)
Actually, it was kind of a joke. (chuckles) Of course, that is the only material I had, however I added the stitching and whatnot just to see Utahna’s reaction. (laughs a little)
AMMARON: (amused)
And what if, by the rare off chance she did wear it?
EZEKIAL: (amused)
Well that would have been pretty funny. (laughs a little)
(serious now)
Anyways, why don’t I make you one, with better, style*? (*sarcastically) Utahna never liked being my test subject anyway. How about I make it light blue this time?
EZEKIAL Spins around to look at the monitors and a the pink sweater from before pops up in the middle screen. He then a color slider is brought up, and Ezekial changes the color from pink to blue.
Color slider example:
EZEKIAL: I only have enough material to make one more sweater for now, and I won’t have more until tomorrow afternoon, so you have to be careful not have it overheat like the first one.
AMMARON: Right
Ezekial types on his keyboard, and a machine slowly starts 3D printing the sweater. Ammaron walks out the door, and it zooms in on it, scene changes.
________________________________________________________________
Scene 8: New Prototype
Black screen, audience hears an alarm go off. After 2-3 seconds, the scene shows a close-up shot of Ammaron’s alarm clock (Possibly first-person view?)
*Ammaron Moans*
Audience sees a hand slam onto the alarm clock.
Audience sees Ammaron wake up, then run to the bathroom to brush his teeth (already wearing school clothes).
Ammaron then runs out his front door while grabbing his backpack (by the front door) then grabs his bike, and bikes to Utahna’s house.
(At Utahna’s House)
Ammaron knocks on the door, and walks in.
Utahna:
Hey, Ezekial told me that you need to see him in his room.
Ammaron:
Okay, I’ll be back right back.
Ammaron walks to Ezekial’s room.
*knock* *knock*
Ezekial:
*Through the door* Come in!
Ammaron opens the door and walks in. Ezekial is in his chair, holding the finished sweater.
Ammaron:
So did it finish printing?
Ezekial:
Yup! Here, go see if it fits.
Ezekial spins around in his chair to face his computer and he types some code. Ammaron begins to take off his shirt and puts on the sweater.
Ammaron:
Fits good.
Ezekial: (still looking at the computer)
Ok, great. How do you feel?
Ammaron: Normal, I guess. Should I feel any different?
Ezekial:
No, [at least not yet. (under breath)] Alright, I’ll talk to you after school. Come straight here after school. Don’t talk to anybody, and don’t say anything about this.
Ammaron: Uh, ok.
Ammaron grabs his other shirt, puts it in his backpack then walks out shutting the door behind him. Ezekial is left behind still typing on the computer.
Ammaron: (To Utahna in the kitchen)
Hey, mind if I grab a granola bar? I haven’t eaten anything yet.
Utahna:
Yeah, go ahead.
Ammaron quickly goes to a cupboard and grabs a granola bar. (All audience sees is the door and him leaning in it.) Then Utahna and Ammaron rush out the door.
________________________________________________________________
Scene 9: Victim
Ammaron and Utahna walk into class as the bell rings. They sit in two empty seats in the back of the class. The class is arranged with an aisle in the middle. The desks are facing the middle. It is 5 desks wide, and 5 desks back. Each desk fits only 1 person. On the front of the classroom is a whiteboard. On the whiteboard the teacher’s name is spelt out. (Mrs. Fawn)
Teacher:
Ok class, today we will be going over what we will be doing in this class for the year. Here are the course disclosures.
The teacher walks around to each row and hands a small stack of blue papers to them. The kids pass it back once they have one.
The Camera turns to the clock, which speeds up to show a time change from from 8:13 to 9:08.
*Riiiiiiiiing*
Utahna:
Finally it’s over, that was soo boring.
Ammaron:
Yeah. I have history next. I’ll see you during lunch.
The scene continues as Ammaron walks through the crowd, (which has been going on past them this whole time.) into his class.
________________________________________________________________
Change scene to Ezekial walking into his room holding a box of (I don’t know, but it’s going to be the materials).
________________________________________________________________
*Riiiiiiinnnngg*
Mrs. Brown:
Hello class, I’m sure you have had enough of those long periods of going over things. So, rather, today we are going to get right in. You should already have your papers you will need to get signed on your desk.
(ruffle of papers)
Mrs. Brown:
Today we will begin to talk about how the - *Interrupted by a knocking on the door.*
A student near the door stands up and opens the door.
Mrs. Brown: (happily)
Oh, Ezekial! Is there something I can help you with? We were just about to begin.
Ezekial: (a little shyly)
Actually, uh, there is. I need to talk to Ammaron It’s very important.
Mrs. Brown: (Looking at Ammaron with suspicion, and back to Ezekial)
And why do you need him?
Ezekial: (confronted)
Um, I’d rather not say,- *looking around the room* - but could we talk in private after? I’ll need him for a while.
Mrs. Brownunsure) Well, okay. Ammaron, go see Ezekial
Ammaron gets up to leave, but before he exits the room, Mrs. Brown stops him.
Mrs. Brown: I hope this does not become a recurring incident. I don’t want you to fail because you were not here to learn what you needed to know.
Ammaron: (awkwardly) Uh, yeah. I can do that. (Quickly leaves the room, and starts talking to Ezekial when the door closes behind him. They are both in the hallway.) Okay, what is it?
Ezekial: Sorry for taking you out of class, but I needed to deliver this to you. Right now a lot of power is going to keeping the sweater cool, so just in case it starts getting warm or starts running out of power here is an extra battery pack.
Ammaron: How do I see if it is running out of power?
Ezekial: On the tag in the back, there is a button that when pressed it will light up. If it’s green, it has a full or high charge. Yellow is for medium charge, and red for low. If it turns red, switch the batteries.
Ammaron: But how am I supposed to know if it is red? I can’t exactly see the tag from back here.
Ezekial: Just have Utahna check every two hours or so.
Ammaron: Uh, ok. But why couldn’t you just use the computer to have it sent here and have it explained through a note or the hologram.
Ezekial: Well, if I demolecularize a battery it is likely to become unstable… and it will either not work, or it could overheat and possibly set fire.
Ammaron: Alright, makes sense.
Ezekial: I got to go now, don’t forget to meet me after school.
Ammaron: Alright, thanks.
________________________________________________________________
As Ammaron is saying “Alright,...” Ezekial turns around and walks down the hallway. Ammaron then after saying “...thanks” walks back into class and into his seat.
________________________________________________________________
Mrs. Brown (already speaking as you hear): ...a brief summary of what we will be going over this quarter. Today, however, we will be starting with Columbus. So, in 1492, (continues on but mumbled)
________________________________________________________________
Scene zooms out of highschool and then goes to Ezekial at his house. Walking in the door, his eyes widen and he drops the box to the floor with a thud (and the objects rattle around inside). The scene changes to show the house is trashed. Couches flipped on their backs, the family pictures have been moved, thrown on the floor, or smashed to pieces. The drawers and cupboards all have been opened and searched. Ezekial continues walking, stepping over broken glass, Shocked, and a bit scared, he walks into his room, to find it empty.

Teacher waves hand in front still confused
UTAHNA: (curious)
Me too please?
Teacher (still looking at floor, a little irritated)
I don’t care.

SCENE 6: News
Back to the lockers, Ammaron is nauseous and is waiting for Utahan sitting against the locker doors. (he was still there when she asked to leave to “go to the restroom”)
Utahna walks to the locker-
Unlocks her locker-
UTAHNA: (slightly worried)
You know, you have my code right?
AMMARON: (nauseous)
Ya, but I can barely stand.
UTAHNA: (confused/worried)
What the was that??!
AMMARON: (exhausted/confused)
I-I have absolutely (very slight pause) no idea, but I’m dead-tired.
Short pause of ammaron just looking up at Utahna. Ammaron’s locker swings open, (nearly hitting him on the head from underneath) Midnight swoops out, and turns around landing next to Ammaron, after landing tilts head, and hoots once. Ammaron then pets him for a moment. Utahna pretends not to notice.
UTAHNA: We need to talk to my brother. Immediately.
Ammaron stands up. Utahna boots up computer, green flash on screen, then Ezekial appears. Looking down. Then looks up quickly (he heard a noise from computer.)
EZEKIAL: (startled)
Oh, hey guys, I wasn’t expecting you for…
(Ezekial looks down at watch. The audience can’t see the watch but you see his head turn downwards.)
… another 10 minutes.
UTAHNA: (rudely slightly)
Ya, well, about that… (cut off from ezekial)
EZEKIAL: (shocked/angry/urgent)
WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PROTOTYPE?!
UTAHNA: (slightly mad)
That’s what I was saying… until you (cut off again by Ammaron.)
AMMARON: (nauseous/weak)
This prototype, or whatever you call it, almost KILLED me.
EZEKIAL: (thoughtful/quietly)
What happened?
AMMARON:
Well, when I put the sweater on, I--
BELL RINGS
KIDS RUSH OUT OF ROOMS
APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS AFTER ZOOMS BACK ON AMMARON
AMMARON:
-- and then we called you,
EZEKIAL: (hands on chin, rubbing slightly, perplexed)
Hmm, odd. Take off the sweater, and when you get out of school, come over, and I’ll give it a closer look.
AMMARON: (a little relieved)
Ok, thanks, bye.
FOCUS IN ON COMPUTER SCREEN, COMPUTER SCREEN TURNS OFF, SCREEN GOES BLACK FOR A SECOND, THEN SCENE CHANGES.
________________________________________________________________
SCENE 7- GOOD AND BAD NEWS
Scene begins at Utahna’s home. Ammaron knocks on the door, then walks in. As he walks over to the living room you see that it is empty.
AMMARON: (slightly confused, loudly)
Anyone home?!
EZEKIAL: (busy, loudly)
Over here!
Ammaron walks over to Ezekial’s room. You see it dark and relatively gloomy. His bed is on the left side when you are facing in from the door. The bed is messy. To the right you see that there is a desk. Between the desk and bed there is about 6 feet. On the walls are “anonymous” posters, and other nerd/geek posters. In front of the desk is Ezekial in a black office chair. The desk is about 5 feet long. On top of it and to the sides are wires, and other robotic/invention “projects”. On the desk are 6 monitors. Three on the desk, 3 on top of the monitors.
EZEKIAL: (spinning around)
Come on in.
EZEKIAL: (questioning)
Where’s Utahna?
AMMARON:
Oh, she’s just practicing for cheer.
EZEKIAL:
Oh, wow, I’m surprised that has started already.
AMMARON:
Yea, it’s an all year thing I think.
EZEKIAL:
Anyways, I assume you came to find out what happened?
AMMARON:
Yea, that was my intention.
EZEKIAL: (slightly embarrassed)
Well, um. To be honest, I have no idea.
AMMARON: (shocked)
Wh-What do you mean!
EZEKIAL: (kind of distracted)
From the information the sweater gave back to me, there should have been no reason to overheat.
There is a short pause
EZEKIAL: (thinking)
Wait… didn’t you say that you were wearing the sweater underneath your jacket?
AMMARON: (slightly confused)
Yes… but that shouldn’t matter right?
EZEKIAL:
Actually, it is probably why everything happened. You see, I made this a sweater so that it could cool off. The gaps between the wire, and the outside is very thin, but more than enough to normally keep it cool. However you blocked not only the air passage, but most likely covered up the holes.
AMMARON: (pondering)
Hmm, well, what are you going to do now? Utahna clearly won’t wear it, you are influenced by it, and I still have some sense of decency.
EZEKIAL: (in a funny/sarcastic way)
Actually, it was kind of a joke. (chuckles) Of course, that is the only material I had, however I added the stitching and whatnot just to see Utahna’s reaction. (laughs a little)
AMMARON: (amused)
And what if, by the rare off chance she did wear it?
EZEKIAL: (amused)
Well that would have been pretty funny. (laughs a little)
(serious now)
Anyways, why don’t I make you one, with better, style*? (*sarcastically) Utahna never liked being my test subject anyway. How about I make it light blue this time?
EZEKIAL Spins around to look at the monitors and a the pink sweater from before pops up in the middle screen. He then a color slider is brought up, and Ezekial changes the color from pink to blue.
Color slider example:
EZEKIAL: I only have enough material to make one more sweater for now, and I won’t have more until tomorrow afternoon, so you have to be careful not have it overheat like the first one.
AMMARON: Right
Ezekial types on his keyboard, and a machine slowly starts 3D printing the sweater. Ammaron walks out the door, and it zooms in on it, scene changes.
________________________________________________________________
Scene 8: New Prototype
Black screen, audience hears an alarm go off. After 2-3 seconds, the scene shows a close-up shot of Ammaron’s alarm clock (Possibly first-person view?)
*Ammaron Moans*
Audience sees a hand slam onto the alarm clock.
Audience sees Ammaron wake up, then run to the bathroom to brush his teeth (already wearing school clothes).
Ammaron then runs out his front door while grabbing his backpack (by the front door) then grabs his bike, and bikes to Utahna’s house.
(At Utahna’s House)
Ammaron knocks on the door, and walks in.
Utahna:
Hey, Ezekial told me that you need to see him in his room.
Ammaron:
Okay, I’ll be back right back.
Ammaron walks to Ezekial’s room.
*knock* *knock*
Ezekial:
*Through the door* Come in!
Ammaron opens the door and walks in. Ezekial is in his chair, holding the finished sweater.
Ammaron:
So did it finish printing?
Ezekial:
Yup! Here, go see if it fits.
Ezekial spins around in his chair to face his computer and he types some code. Ammaron begins to take off his shirt and puts on the sweater.
Ammaron:
Fits good.
Ezekial: (still looking at the computer)
Ok, great. How do you feel?
Ammaron: Normal, I guess. Should I feel any different?
Ezekial:
No, [at least not yet. (under breath)] Alright, I’ll talk to you after school. Come straight here after school. Don’t talk to anybody, and don’t say anything about this.
Ammaron: Uh, ok.
Ammaron grabs his other shirt, puts it in his backpack then walks out shutting the door behind him. Ezekial is left behind still typing on the computer.
Ammaron: (To Utahna in the kitchen)
Hey, mind if I grab a granola bar? I haven’t eaten anything yet.
Utahna:
Yeah, go ahead.
Ammaron quickly goes to a cupboard and grabs a granola bar. (All audience sees is the door and him leaning in it.) Then Utahna and Ammaron rush out the door.
________________________________________________________________
Scene 9: Victim
Ammaron and Utahna walk into class as the bell rings. They sit in two empty seats in the back of the class. The class is arranged with an aisle in the middle. The desks are facing the middle. It is 5 desks wide, and 5 desks back. Each desk fits only 1 person. On the front of the classroom is a whiteboard. On the whiteboard the teacher’s name is spelt out. (Mrs. Fawn)
Teacher:
Ok class, today we will be going over what we will be doing in this class for the year. Here are the course disclosures.
The teacher walks around to each row and hands a small stack of blue papers to them. The kids pass it back once they have one.
The Camera turns to the clock, which speeds up to show a time change from from 8:13 to 9:08.
*Riiiiiiiiing*
Utahna:
Finally it’s over, that was soo boring.
Ammaron:
Yeah. I have history next. I’ll see you during lunch.
The scene continues as Ammaron walks through the crowd, (which has been going on past them this whole time.) into his class.
________________________________________________________________
Change scene to Ezekial walking into his room holding a box of (I don’t know, but it’s going to be the materials).
________________________________________________________________
*Riiiiiiinnnngg*
Mrs. Brown:
Hello class, I’m sure you have had enough of those long periods of going over things. So, rather, today we are going to get right in. You should already have your papers you will need to get signed on your desk.
(ruffle of papers)
Mrs. Brown:
Today we will begin to talk about how the - *Interrupted by a knocking on the door.*
A student near the door stands up and opens the door.
Mrs. Brown: (happily)
Oh, Ezekial! Is there something I can help you with? We were just about to begin.
Ezekial: (a little shyly)
Actually, uh, there is. I need to talk to Ammaron It’s very important.
Mrs. Brown: (Looking at Ammaron with suspicion, and back to Ezekial)
And why do you need him?
Ezekial: (confronted)
Um, I’d rather not say,- *looking around the room* - but could we talk in private after? I’ll need him for a while.
Mrs. Brown
unsure) Well, okay. Ammaron, go see EzekialAmmaron gets up to leave, but before he exits the room, Mrs. Brown stops him.
Mrs. Brown: I hope this does not become a recurring incident. I don’t want you to fail because you were not here to learn what you needed to know.
Ammaron: (awkwardly) Uh, yeah. I can do that. (Quickly leaves the room, and starts talking to Ezekial when the door closes behind him. They are both in the hallway.) Okay, what is it?
Ezekial: Sorry for taking you out of class, but I needed to deliver this to you. Right now a lot of power is going to keeping the sweater cool, so just in case it starts getting warm or starts running out of power here is an extra battery pack.
Ammaron: How do I see if it is running out of power?
Ezekial: On the tag in the back, there is a button that when pressed it will light up. If it’s green, it has a full or high charge. Yellow is for medium charge, and red for low. If it turns red, switch the batteries.
Ammaron: But how am I supposed to know if it is red? I can’t exactly see the tag from back here.
Ezekial: Just have Utahna check every two hours or so.
Ammaron: Uh, ok. But why couldn’t you just use the computer to have it sent here and have it explained through a note or the hologram.
Ezekial: Well, if I demolecularize a battery it is likely to become unstable… and it will either not work, or it could overheat and possibly set fire.
Ammaron: Alright, makes sense.
Ezekial: I got to go now, don’t forget to meet me after school.
Ammaron: Alright, thanks.
________________________________________________________________
As Ammaron is saying “Alright,...” Ezekial turns around and walks down the hallway. Ammaron then after saying “...thanks” walks back into class and into his seat.
________________________________________________________________
Mrs. Brown (already speaking as you hear): ...a brief summary of what we will be going over this quarter. Today, however, we will be starting with Columbus. So, in 1492, (continues on but mumbled)
________________________________________________________________
Scene zooms out of highschool and then goes to Ezekial at his house. Walking in the door, his eyes widen and he drops the box to the floor with a thud (and the objects rattle around inside). The scene changes to show the house is trashed. Couches flipped on their backs, the family pictures have been moved, thrown on the floor, or smashed to pieces. The drawers and cupboards all have been opened and searched. Ezekial continues walking, stepping over broken glass, Shocked, and a bit scared, he walks into his room, to find it empty.
End of Episode 1
