Keep Holding On(English Transcript)

Zoe: (narrating) It was a dark, stormy afternoon. I was supposed to meet up with my friends in the hospital to see Raphael. Once I arrived, I've met them in front of the ICU entrance because I know Raphael is there. Still asleep in a coma. I really hope he's okay. Like his condition is improving and that there are no complications. Right now, me and my friends are following Sheryl to his room.
The younger kids are following Sheryl to Raphael's room.
Shion: This is the ICU? It looks scary.
Zoe: This is the ICU, I've been here before. To see Raphael with the boys.
Jamie: Wow.
Thaiyo: So, were you aware that the head teacher was going to control nearly everyone?
Tanya: Yes, and we were aware of that. Right before line up time. It was last year, Shion, Jamie and I were playing when we saw her, the head teacher. She was telling everyone on the mic that if they saw anyone who is not 100% Thai, not buddhist and not girls, they must get away from them.
*Flashback*
Head Teacher: Students of Sacred Heart Convent School, if you see anyone who is not 100% Thai, not buddhist or any boy in class, get away from them. They want to manipulate you into disrespecting the teacher. Especially those from EP.
Jamie: Oh no, everyone is getting away from us.
Shion: What are we going to do?
Tanya: I just remembered that Zoe is playing with the boys, we need to tell her. She, along with most boys in her class are not 100% Thai. Also her friends are boys.
Shion: Then let's tell them.
Shion, Jamie and Tanya went up to the older kids.
Jamie: Guys, you have to watch out, the head teacher wanted everyone to get away from you.
Zoe: What?
Raphael: Isn't that racist?
Tanya: It is, but I need you to watch out. Do not trust any girl who is what the head teacher said. Maybe the head teacher would take control of them.
Ankit: Take control? Isn't that a conspiracy theory?
Jamie: You need to trust us. We just wanted to warn you about what will happen if the girls get us.
Zoe: Jamie's right. We need to trust them, for now. Just take their word, do not trust girls.
Aidan: Sorry?
Raphael: What Zoe's saying is right. But the only girls we can trust are those who are not 100% Thai and those who are not buddhist.
*End of flashback*
Thaiyo: Wow, is there any chance that the head teacher is xenophobic?
Zoe: I am not sure about this conspiracy theory, but it can be possible.
Aidan: Why would the head teacher be xenophobic against us? What have we even done? Foreigners are just nice people, even teenagers wanted to look foreign.
Zoe: Like going to Korea and get double eyelids? Even if you already have one?
Tanya: Zoe has natural double eyelids and didn't get them via plastic surgery. It's genetics.
Zoe: Because I'm Eurasian.
Sheryl: We're here.
The kids finally arrived at Raphael's room in the children's ICU. 
Tanya: This is his room? What's with the tubes and wires?
Sheryl: They help him keep him alive. The tube in his mouth, the ventilator, helps him breathe because his breathing is severely shallow and jagged. The multiple IVs helps him remain hydrated because he had been dehydrated ever since we rushed him here. And yes, dehydration is one of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes if left untreated. And the wires are used to help doctors monitor his vital signs.
Shion: Because he's obviously dying.
Sheryl: Unfortunately yes. He had been misdiagnosed with something else instead of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes immedietly.
Charlie: Poor dude.
Sheryl: Well, I will give him his crystal. You guys stay here.
Sheryl entered the hospital room and gave his brother the crystal. She put it next to his hospital bed.
Sheryl: Get well soon, Raphael. Just keep holding on and survive this. Just keep fighting like you always did while playing basketball.
Just then, Raphael's heart started beeping fast. Sheryl panicked and called the nurse. Soon, doctors and nurses came in, running and escorted Sheryl out of the room.
Zoe: What happened?
Sheryl: Raphael's heart started beeping fast and the doctors are doing CPR on him. We have to get out of the ICU right now.
Tanya: Where are we heading?
Sheryl: The cafeteria.
Charlie: To eat there? Hospital food sucks, you know?
Aidan: No Charlie, those are only depictions in American media. Also the hospital cafeteria has the best place to keep to ourselves. We can just talk about what has been happening in school.
Charlie: Alright.
The kids have arrived at the cafeteria. They sat down and started talking.
Zoe: I dunno what's the problem with foreign students. I had no problem during my 8 years of studying in Sacred Heart. Except the fact I couldn't get along because my Thai was horrible. But why does she hate us so much?
Jamie: I have no idea. If I tell that to my parents, they would just say that it's not my problem and that it's not my business.
Shion: Geez man.
Zoe: So what? We have to keep hiding from our parents until they realised what happened and move us to an international school in Sukhumvit? I love studying in Sacred Heart, since I studied there for a long time, it's my home.
Sheryl: There are also international schools in Silom. But okay.
Yuto: We need to find a way to save EP from the head teacher. She's blaming us for what we haven't done.
Zoe: But what have we done?
Yuto: Nothing. 
Tanya: I believe this is just a scheme to get rid of foreigners. And move us to some international school in an unknown district. So she decided to manipulate and control minds of 100% Thai and Buddhist girls and make fun of us. And then isolate us.
Zoe: This is the idea of the organisation, we need to unite every foreign, half-foreign, Thai-Chinese, non-Buddhist and boys and show her what are we here for. Or should I say, unaffected students.
Aidan: That's a good idea, but we will be formed once school opens. Because they are still closed as of now.
Zoe: Oh well.
Tanya: Well, I was originally going to form an alliance last year. But I decided to postpone it because she got me into trouble. And threaten to take control of my cousin, Eve.
*Flashback*
Head Teacher: Tanya, I've got some reports that your behaviour has been horrible. I believe I must punish you for this.
Tanya: I didn't do anything, I was just casually sitting down and taking notes.
Head Teacher: Ugh, you foreigners are so stubborn. What about this, you've been misbehaving, I will not punish you. But I will punish your cousin.
The Head Teacher brought Eve with her.
Tanya: Eve?
Head Teacher: Your cousin will be under my grasp if you don't accept the punishment.
Tanya: What is the punishment?
Head Teacher: Clean the toilets in the Sirinthep building.
Then, the head of EP Prathom, T. Pook came.
T. Pook: Hey, what are you doing to my student?
Head Teacher: Ms. Pook, this student has been misbehaving in class.
T. Pook: She didn't do anything, I was monitoring the class and she was doing fine. You just want to get her to trouble just for her cousin's mistake. Plus, what does EP ever done to you? What have we done to make you hate us? I'll bring Tanya back to class and I don't want to hear any fuss from you about EP. Even if we haven't done anything. She is just in prathom and you're treating her badly. C'mon Tanya, let's head back to class.
Head Teacher: Ugh, EP teachers are being too soft towards their students.
*End of flashback*
Thaiyo: Did she say that EP teachers were being soft towards us?
Tanya: No, T. Elena isn't very nice to us. She's being racist.
Jamie: Also T. Tammie.
Zoe: T. Tammie is nice. Only if you listen to her, respect her and then she'll give you advice. I thought she was strict when we first met. But we soon got to know each other and she encouraged me with my art. But maybe she's right, EP teachers always show their soft spot towards students. Maybe that's why she hated us.
Sheryl: The other reason is xenophobia.
Yuto: For some or no reason.
Zoe: So, who had been in trouble because of the head teacher?
Sheryl: I was because I haven't sent in my homework yet. But just skip the homework thing anyway.
Shion: Yeah, I agree.
Charlie: So if he has diabetes, why is he in a coma?
Zoe: Haven't you heard of a diabetic coma? He was in the late stages of DKA and his blood sugar was really high. This caused him to be in a coma.
Charlie: Oof.
Sheryl: He might need to check his blood sugar and inject himself with insulin for the rest of his life. There is no cure for type 1 diabetes.
Charlie: Oh god.
Thaiyo: Does that mean he has to quit playing basketball?
Zoe: He doesn't. It may depend on his condition once he wakes up. For now, we're not sure.
Sheryl: Yeah.
Then, a doctor came up to the kids.
Doctor: Are you guys related to Raphael Lau?
Sheryl: Yes, he's my brother.
Zoe: And we're his friends from school.
Doctor: His heartbeat was beeping fast but we managed to get it under control. He is still in a coma, but it will take a while. You can see him if you want, but the younger kids should stay outside because kids aren't allowed to enter the hospital room.
Sheryl: Alright, c'mon guys.
Zoe: (narrating) Seeing someone you know have a life-threatening disease is heartbreaking. Especially for us. But you need to stay strong for those who have been suffering. I really hope that Raphael would wake up soon. He is strong and healthy. He just needs to keep holding on and fight all the odds. We'll see you soon and we hope that you won't have any complications once you wake up.
