SCENE 1: [Hailey, Alana and June are lying on the grass in the school yard, while school yard dummies are playing around]

Alana: [sighs] I've got so much to do, it feels as if the work keeps coming.

Hailey: Yeah, I know how you feel. I've got three assignments and an essay due on Wednesday.

Alana: [shocked] Damn and I thought I had it bad, [speech now directed at June] I bet you don't find it hard.

June: [angered voice] What's that supposed to mean?

Alana: It means that you're a nerd.

June: O really now.

Alana: Yeah.

June: Is that right.

[June lashes out at Alana and grabs her hair]

Alana: Let go of me now.

[Alana manages to break free from June]

June: If you touch me...

Alana: What are you going to do call Asian Pride to get me?

June: Oh, you racist bitch.

[Dominic walks up to Alana, Hailey and June]

Dominic: Woah, catfight [mimics cat yelp], FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.

Hailey: Stop it Dom, and break up the fight.

[Dominic gets knocked unconscious while trying to break up the fight]

Hailey: See what your stupid little fight did!

Alana: She started it.

June: Yeah right. [Sarcastic voice]

[June and Alana having a stare off, all the dummies come to watch, which are held by the real characters]

June: Ok, truce...

Alana: Hahaha, you broke the stare I win.

June: [childish voice] I'm not inviting you to my birthday party.

[June runs away crying] [School bell rings all characters exit]

SCENE 2: [All of the students in the classroom]

Mr Milletti: Hello everyone, how are the assignments going?

[Mixed responses from all students]

Mr Milletti: Ok, today we're learning about parabolas.

[Groans from students]

Mr Milletti: Does anyone know anything about them?

June: Yes, they are a form of arch defined by a moving point that remains equidistant from a fixed point inside the arch and a moving point along a line.

Alana: [loud voice] I TOLD YOU SHE WAS A NERD

[Dominic laughing]

Ali: [angered voice] Hey stooge, knock it off before I come over there and knock you two out.

[Dominic quiet and frightened]

Mr Milletti: [angered voice] HEY, you two one more word and you're both going to the principal's office.

Ali: [speech directed at June] Are you ok?

June: Yeah I'm ok, I'll live with it.

Ali: No you wont, you don't have to. You've got to stick up for yourself. But hey if anyone ever hurts you just come and tell me.

June: Thanks.

Hailey: [whispering to June] I think he likes you.

June: Really.

Hailey: Yeah, I've never seen him stick up for someone like that.

[Mr Milletti talking in the background]

Mr Milletti: [sighs] Is anyone listening?

[Whole class replies NO]

Mr Milletti: Ok seeing as your not learning anything from me you may as well break up into your assignment groups and try and get some of it done.

Hailey: June, I've got an idea. Do you have your mobile phone?

June: Yeah.

Hailey: Then prank call Alana's mum right now and tell her that Alana's pregnancy test is back.

[June calling Alana on mobile, talking to Alana's mother]

[School bell rings]

Mr Milletti: Ok everyone you may go and remember those assignments are due in on Wednesday.

[All students walking out of classroom]

Dominic: Man stop singing your wrecking the song.

[Everyone laughing except Ali]

Ali: [sarcastic voice] Hahahahah, man your so funny I'm cracking up inside.

Dominic: Don't laugh too hard. [Sarcastic voice]
