Thread: Struggle Within Script leading up to start of RP

The Struggle Within Below will be the first 4 parts of the story basically the introductions of the characters as they were originally written. this all takes place right before the start of the RP will be set at . Figuring the first scene of the RP will take place in the Pizza place right after the events of what was written so far. Anyone involved who feels certain lines that are already written in the first 4 parts REALLY need to be changed to fit the way they are playing the character message me and we can discuss it more. ALSO this was written in SCRIPT FORMAT the RP will not be written in Script format but rather in normal RP style. So you don't have to worry about writing things such as when a scene ends or a camera cuts or anything like that. I just left it in here to give you a feel for what the original writing had started out as. Introduction opening credits Camera fades in sweeping scenes through a number of different locations like a football field, empty streets, nice looking houses , small side roads and other areas that have a look that we are going for along the lines of Lincoln RI As the credits wind down we come to a smaller apartment. Chapter 1 Introduction to the outcasts Scene 1 Scene opens with Trevor Thompson getting ready for school. His mother is sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette. He goes to the fridge with his backpack in hand while grabbing a can of soda out of the fridge he checks to make sure his mother is not looking and grabs a beer and puts it into his backpack. He closes the backpack and opens the can of soda while slipping his backpack on heading toward the door. Trevor By mom Im heading to school Ill see you.. Trevors Mom Shhhssssss, Cant you see Im watching TV. Do me a favor, after school find something to do. Other then coming home, I have company coming over and I dont want you in the way. Trevor Yeah whatever He turns around with a disgusted look on his face and slams the door as he leaves. Trevors mom shouts towards the door You ungrateful brat I cant wait till you get a job and move the hell out of my house she goes back to smoking and watching her TV. Camera cuts to Trevor walking to school outside camera then fades out. Scene 2 Camera fades back in at the Lemay house Cole and his son are sitting at the table eating breakfast the camera glides past the table where they are and goes through the house we come to the door of Patty, She can slightly be heard talking to someone on the other side of the door. Camera switches to inside the room. Its a simple room nothing fancy just the typical stuff a teenage girl may have in her room. She is sitting on her bed talking on her phone. Patty I cant believe I was forced to take his last name. It wasnt enough forcing me into this family my mother has to let him get his way and have my name legally changed to have is last name. I wish my dad was still alive. My mom never thinks for herself, she does whatever he wants her to do I cant stand it From outside the room you hear Cole yelling Patty get down here its time to leave. You better not be on that damn phone again Patty OK I have to go, Ill call you after school. I miss hanging out with you. I really hate this stupid town. I wish he didnt make us move here, away from everyone I knew. Cole PATTY GET DOWN HERE NOW LETS GO!!! Patty yells back Im coming and then turns back to her phone Ill call you after school bye. She hangs up and grabs her backpack and heads out of her room. When she walks out of the house her step brother is walking behind her looking down at her butt as she walks in front of him. She looks behind her and seems to notice what is going on and she looks uncomfortable. Her stepbrother looks at her Hey Patty want a ride to school I can bring you so you dont have to walk. Patty noThats fine Ill walk Brandon what is wrong you dont like my car or the way I drive or something? Patty no its not thatits just that its nice out and I enjoy the walk. she says with a rushed response as you can tell she still feels uncomfortable around her step brother. Brandon hmm I never knew you liked to walk. I couldnt tell. Maybe your right maybe you should walk more often it might help you lose some of that fat, Patty pretends not to hear him as she turns away and starts walking down the street. Camera fades off watching patty walking down the street. Scene 3 Camera fades in on Peter and Jennifer walking down the street. Jennifer So what do you think Peter About what Jen Jennifer about the boy I was telling you about earlier. What should I do. I really like him but I am afraid to tell him what would you do if you really liked someone Peter Umm . I dont know Jen youre asking the wrong person I have never really been that good in that department Jen come on I am sure that is not true Im sure plenty of girls must like you Peter Jen just be careful. I dont want to see my little sis get hurt. Remember people can be cruel and not all guys are nice Jennifer No peter, I know. But he is so different then that he is such a nice boy. Im going to the skate part after school today to hang out with him. I just hope I can come up with the guts to tell him how much I like him. They are arriving at the school now. Peter Well sis good luck. Ill see you at home tonight. Jennifer Ok I will tell you how everything turns out when I get home. I love you Pete hope you have a good day today Peter You to Jen They start to walk in separate directions Peter is walking by 2 of the other students that are standing there talking to each other they look up and lightly start to laugh. Peter keeps walking past them. John Awwww how sweet walking your little sister to school Andrew Yeah Peter what a cute sis you got. At least thats one girl who will talk to you. Maybe you should move down south where incest is no big deal and you can date your little sister. They both start laughing. Peter pretends not to hear them as he keeps walking. They turn to each other and go back to talking. Missy walks up to John Missy Hi John. I heard what happened I am so sorry. I cant believe she would do that to you. John Hey Missy its ok. Missy I mean spreading those mean lies about you. I know you would never hit a girl. We all know she is just doing this because you broke up with her right John Yeah of course thats what it is. So I heard she quit the cheer leading squad is that true Missy She was never cut out to be one of us anyway. Say Johnny you wanna go out to the movies tonight? John Cant I have practice maybe some other time Missy Okay Johnny just remember if you need anyone to talk to I am always here for you. Missy walks off Andrew She so wants you bro. John Yeah I know but you know I want Vikki back Andrew You could have the head cheerleader and you are still all hooked up on this used to be. Come on man get over her. Besides hooking up with Missy might make Vikki jealous and give you a shot at getting her back and if not well hell youll still be with the head cheerleader so where can you go wrong. Im telling you now if you dont go for Missy Im going to go for it. John I dont know maybe youre right. Ill call Missy tonight after practice Camera Fades out end of scene The Struggle Within Chapter 2 After School Scene 1 Scene fades in behind the school with Peter walking from the school. He walks past Patty who is on her cell phone talking. Random Punk Hey nerd boy Peter turns to look Yeah you. Come here for a minute Peter reluctantly walks over to him and responds in a nervous voice Yes Random Punk Do you have a cig? Peter No I dont smoke Random Punk Figures how bout a few bucks to let me borrow. I promise Ill pay you back Peter No, Im sorry I dont have any money on me Random Punk Come on kid. Dont lie to me. I told you Id pay you back. Just front me a few bucks I know you have it Peter Really I dont have any money. I really have to get going Peter goes to turn away from him and gets a punch in the back and falls to the ground as the punk starts to kick him. Random Punk Empty your pockets nerd boy Patty comes running over to try and help Peter. Patty Come on leave him alone Random Punk Mind your own business unless you want a piece of this Vikki comes into the scene she looks scared and stands back against the wall trying to stay out of the punks vision as she doesnt want anything to do with the situation. Trevor is walking by and sees what is going on. He looks concerned like he wants to help but instead turns and starts to walk past. At that moment another voice comes from the distance. Its Jessie He yells out to the punk Enough already..Let him go. Random Punk What no one knows how to mind their own business anymore? Unless you plan on coming over here and stopping me then I would keep your nose out of this The punk kicks Peter again. Patty goes to try to pull him away from Peter and he shoves her to the grass. Jessie now looking very aggravated starts to walk towards the punk. The punk reaches into his pocket. At this moment Cassie comes around the corner and sees the punk pulling a knife out of his pocket. She yells No he has a blade on him Jessie continues to walk straight toward the punk ignoring the warning. Random Punk Back up man dont try and get involved with this or Ill cut you do you hear me? Jessie keeps walking forward. Peter is laying on the ground at the punks feet looking very scared with blood dripping down from his nose from the hits he took. Trevor turns to look at what is going on. Now growing concerned he starts to come a little closer but not too close. Trevor Hey man its not worth it he has a blade dont try to fight him Jessie continues to ignore all the warnings now right in front of the punk. He swings once with the blade but Jessie steps back and out of the blades path. He then comes back forward as the punk swings the blade again Jesse grabs his arm pushing it away and then kicks toward the punks chest. The punk manages to bring his arm back in and slightly cut Jessies leg just before getting kicked in the chest. The kick sends him falling backward to the ground toppling over Peter who quickly slides backwards on the ground to be further away from the action. Jessie doesnt even pause for a moment to think about the cut to his leg as he quickly reaches down and pulls the blade from the punks hand and then continues to punch him in the face. He drags the punk back to his feet by his shirt and shoves him backwards. Jessie Get the hell out of here and dont ever pull any bullshit like that ever again. Next time I might not let you walk away. The punk takes off and Jessie turns to Peter. You ok kid? He reaches down to help him up. Peter takes his hand as he replies. Yeah. Yeah I think so. Thanks. Who are you? Jessie Youre welcome. Just try and keep yourself out of trouble from now on ok. Jesse laughs as he turns and starts to walk away Peter Wait hold on man who are you As Jessie walks past Trevor. Trevor looks to Jessie and says Man you got some balls where did you learn to fight like that Jesse looks at Trevor with a slightly annoyed look on his face Its not that I have balls. In fact it has nothing to do with balls. I saw that girl try to defend him while you just turned your back on him or are you saying she has bigger balls then you? Trevor Come on man its not like that. I mean it wasnt my fight what could I do. Its not like I know how to fight like you did. Jesse Its not about being strong or able to fight all you would have had to do is stand up against him. All of you together. One person may not be able to stop him on their own. I was just lucky that I was faster then him thats all. But had you stood up to him with that girl over there who was already trying and if this kid would have tried harder to stick up for himself, and this girl over here who walked in at the end of it. Do you really think he wouldve tried to fight you all? Fighting isnt the way to always solve the problem. Think about it voices sometimes can do far more then any fight ever could have and so what if youre too scared. You always have more then just one option. You could have ran to find help couldnt you have? Trevor But I dont even know this kid. Why should I risk getting stabbed for someone I dont know Jessie I dont know him nor do I know you or anyone else here as a matter of fact but I would have done that for any of you. Cassie But why Jessie Because think, Wouldnt you want someone to help you if you really needed it? Sometimes there is more to life then just thinking about yourself Patty He is right. I would hope someone would help me if I was in trouble and they could help. Really I wish people were there when I needed them Cassie I dont know about all of that but still I respect you for what you did. Jessie Well dont Im no one special and I dont want to be anything special or respected. Peter To late for that. I owe you man. I mean if it wasnt for you showing up I mean what if he used that knife on me? I couldve been killed Jessie Dont do that. You dont owe me. You want to repay me for that. Really do you? Then remember Jessie looks at them all, Remember that when someone else needs your help what it might be like if you dont help them and what it would be like if it was you in that situation. Vikki You still havent told us who you are. I havent seen you around here before. Jessie I dont go to school here. Patty Well where do you go to school? Jessie I dont. Look I dont want to be rude but I dont really want to talk about me but look at you all. How many of you have hung out prior to this moment? Vikki What do you mean? Were not hanging out Jessie Youre right standing around having a conversation with other people is not hanging out how silly of me to think that it is. Jessie turns and starts to walk away again there all now looking at him. Patty Never Jessie stops and looks around. And when will you all hang around talking to each other again after you leave here today? Vikki We dont know each other Patty Never Jessie turns and starts to walk away again. Peter Wait, Wait a minute. Why not. Why dont we hang out? Vikki Youre joking right? I dont know any of you people Cassie What she means is she wouldnt be caught dead around people like us. Vikki What is that supposed to mean? Cassie Come on youre a cheerleader. Your little miss popular. Hanging out with what, a nerd, and a band of misfits like the rest of us. Seriously I have to agree though. We dont all exactly have much in common and why would we hang out together? Trevor Actually Cassie thats ex cheerleader didnt you hear Vikki left the cheerleading squad due to some issues Vikki Thats really no ones business and I dont want to talk about it Jessie turns around slowly Listen to yourselves. Its a waist of time I guess to even have imagined that you may have the slightest bit of interest in what hanging out together may actually accomplish Trevor Yeah I see tons of possibilities in hanging out with this crazy crew. Come on we have nothing in common. A cheerleader, a nerd, and a mix of other unpopular sub groups all mixed together I see that working out just great. Jessie Nothing in common? Really. I dont know any of you but you just pointed out that you are all unpopular sub groups and on top of that you are all here now in this same place doing the same thing thinking the same thing about how crazy I sound. It seems to me that you all have much more in common then you think Peter Ill do it Cassie Of course you will. Youre the nerd. No offense but I have seen you around its not like you have many other friends Trevor Look Ill hang out today if you want, Nerd or not I owe you for me being a jerk and not helping you out its the least I can do. Besides I cant go home right away anyhow Jessie How about the rest of you? Vikki I really dont know. I am sorry its just all to weird I dont know any of you people Cassie Yeah as if miss perfect cheerleader would say yes Vikki I dont think I am perfect. Would you please stop talking about me like that Peter What about it will the rest of you give this a chance? I say we see what he has on his mind. I owe him for saving me I should at least hear what thought he had on his mind Patty Yeah Ill come. I dont really want to go home yet anyway Cassie Ill tell you what. Ill come out for this one time to give this crazy idea a try if she says yes She says looking at Vikki, Like that would ever happen she says as she starts to laugh. Vikki Fine. Ill come but I cant be home too late I have a lot of homework Cassie Wait What? Are you serious? Ok, ok Ill do it but I swear if miss perfect starts annoying me or if any of you dudes start hitting on me Im going to split got it Peter Ok so whats next? Jessie Come on lets get out of here Vikki So like, are you going to tell us your name now? Ya know seeing we are trusting to go hang out with you, someone we completely dont even know Jessie Yeah, of course.

Laughing yeah and Im Cassie Jessie How about you? looking at Patty Patty Sorry. My name is Patty Peter Cassie cant you at least try to be nice to Vikki and give her a chance? So where are we going and what are we doing? Cassie Ok I guess youre right I am being a little rude I am very sorry Vikki I will give you a chance before I start to judge you. I have just had a really bad day I guess I was taking it out on you a bit. Im sorry Vikki Its ok believe it or not my day has not been so great either, I understand why youre being mean to me. You assume Im like all the other cheerleaders but Im really not. I dont know why Im telling you this trying to defend myself or anything but I guess I just wanted you to know Patty Oh my god, look at your leg. I didnt even notice that he actually cut you Vikki Oh my god yeah shes right look at his leg. Are you ok Jessie? Jessie Its fine. He hardly even made contact its a small cut. Patty Come on first thing we are going to do is go get that cut cleaned up They start walking off together camera fades out end of scene Scene fades in outside of a store. Jessie is sitting on the ground his leg still bleeding. Patty comes out of the store with a bag with afew things in it. Patty Here I got band aids and some water to clean the cut out with I didnt know what else I should get I hope this is good Jessie Hey I told you all I really dont need anything but seeing as you spent money on it Ill use it. Jessie goes about cutting the leg of his pants off and cleaning up the cut as well as putting a band aid on it. Peter I still cant believe what happened. Like my nerves were so high out there when he pulled out the knife and you were like BOOM I have never seen anything like it it was amazing Jessie Its Pete right? Your name? Look man do me a favor cool it with the amazing stuff it wasnt really Peter Well its Peter actually and see thats my point youre brushing it off like it was nothing while you have a cut up your leg from it thats why it was amazing youre amazing Jessie Peter really ease up Trevor Yeah Pete, youre sounding like you have a gay crush on him..
