Fighting For Life(English Transcript)

Zoe: (narrating) It has been a day after I heard the news from the boys. And now, I am going to see Raphael. It is raining outside so I have to wear my high cut trainers and a jacket to prevent getting wet. I am currently waiting for my friends in the hallways because I came here last. Probably because of bad traffic and the downpour was horrible.
Aidan, Thaiyo, Yuto, Ankit and Sheryl went up to Zoe.
Sheryl: Hey Zoe.
Zoe: Oh hey.
Aidan: We're about to see Raphael, do you want to come.
Zoe: Sure, I'm coming with you.
Yuto: Alright.
Sheryl: Then let's go.
Zoe followed her friends through the hallways and into the waiting room. This is where Mrs. Lau is waiting to see her son.
Mrs. Lau: Hi.
Zoe: Hi Mrs. Lau. Rainy day isn't it.
Mrs. Lau: Yeah. How are you?
Zoe: I'm good, how are you?
Mrs. Lau: Desperately waiting to see my son. He was misdiagnosed last week and his diabetes got worse.
Zoe: He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was rushed here?
Mrs. Lau: Yeah, because a doctor misdiagnosed him. If he hadn't been treated, then what will happen once he wakes up?
Zoe: I dunno.
After a while, a doctor came up to the kids and Raphael's mum.
Doctor: Raphael Lau?
Mrs. Lau: We're here.
Doctor: So we managed to stabilize him. He is still in a coma but we managed to treat him. He is already suffering from Diabetic Ketoacidosis. DKA for short. He is still in the children's intensive care unit where he is being treated. Follow me.
They followed the doctor to the children's intensive care where Raphael is. Mrs. Lau broke down while Sheryl, Aidan, Yuto, Thaiyo, Ankit and Zoe remained quiet. She couldn't bare seeing wires, tubes and needles on a young boy. Especially if he is in his early to mid teenage years.
Zoe: I couldn't imagine seeing a mum cry for her child. Especially if he has diabetes.
Aidan: I know.
Thaiyo: It kinda hurts seeing Mrs. Lau like that.
The kids sat on the floor outside of Raphael's room since only Mrs. Lau is the only one allowed to enter. The kids aren't allowed to see him, especially Sheryl.
Sheryl: So why did you decide to bring Zoe here?
Aidan: She's the smartest girl in our class.
Sheryl: Oh, I thought it was Mata.
Yuto: Mata is just lazy and we don't trust girls. Except for Zoe.
Zoe: I'm the only one they could trust now. Even after Raphael wakes up from a coma.
Sheryl: I'm pretty sure he likes you.
Zoe: Wait what? No. Who likes some sort of smart-mouthed girl when every other girls in class only focus on stupid idols? I mean, no one in class likes a smart mouth in their group.
Sheryl: I do.
Aidan: So do we.
Ankit: Maybe they're just jealous about your abilities.
Zoe: The only friends I have in class are Magic, Beaw, Fin, Ton-Hom, Grace and Aom. They're the only ones who understand me. The other girls just don't want a smart mouth in their group. And they don't want to get disturbed by some smart-mouth.
Sheryl: Maybe I can relate to that. Sure I like those idols too but my main focus is to study and nothing else. I just don't want this idol nonsense to stop me.
Zoe: I would agree with you, Sheryl.
Thaiyo: So, how's the essay?
Zoe: I submitted it to T. Tom via Email. He likes it. Didn't you finish it?
Aidan: I did.
Thaiyo: Me too.
Yuto: Yeah.
Ankit: Yeah.
Zoe: I kinda feel like we need to find a place to keep to ourselves.
Aidan: EmQuartier?
Zoe: No, we're far from that mall.
Sheryl: There is a cafeteria downstairs. Maybe that will be the best place to keep to ourselves. I'll go ask mum.
Sheryl opened the door but didn't enter the room. She called out for her mum.
Sheryl: Mum, can me and the kids go down to the cafeteria?
Mrs. Lau: Yeah, I'll meet you there after the visit.
Sheryl, Zoe, Aidan, Thaiyo, Yuto and Ankit went downstairs to the cafeteria to hang out. Trying to talk about random stuff teens never talk about besides celebrities and stuff.
Zoe: This is the best place to keep to ourselves.
Yuto: Why did you say that?
Zoe: There's basically no one here because people say that hospital food is crap.
Aidan: They're only depictions from American media. I can tell because my dad watches American stuff on Netflix.
Yuto: Yeah.
Sheryl: So, have you decided on joining a club or something?
Aidan: We wanted to form an alliance consisting of students who are half Thai or fully foreign. We are also counting Thai-Chinese people. Once schools are open. They are still closed as of this month.
Zoe: You know, I am listing down people who should join our alliance. All from EP primary and secondary.
Sheryl: Cool.
Zoe: Because the Thai side kids keep on blaming us for the bad things they did. I'm not saying that my friends from the Thai side are blaming us. It is the ones we rival against. The ones who hate us.
Thaiyo: You mean /3 and /4?
Zoe: Yeah, even the Thai side teachers. Except the ones who have taught us before. The head is always against us no matter what we do. That's why, during Grade 8, I always spy on the head of the Thai side. Learning about what she's planning next.
*Flashback*
Zoe: What is she planning?
Head Teacher: EP is more of an obstruction to us. We need to bring them down.
T. Anan: But you can't, they are the most talented, smart and bilingual people I've ever seen. I'm their head so you can't bring them down.
Head Teacher: But just look at them, they are also annoying and disrespectful. You even have foreign kids there too.
Zoe: (gasps) Crap.
Head Teacher: They are the most impolite people in all of Thailand.
T. Anan: But Zoe is a foreigner, yet she's the smartest girl alive. She is even the most polite foreigner I've ever seen. Look, I'm foreign too.
Head Teacher: Even though, bring the students down.
While Zoe was hiding, she made up a plan.
Zoe: If she wanted to bring EP down, maybe the Thai side will be down too. I think I should start an alliance consisting of foreign or half foreign kids so that none of this would happen. I need to show this to the boys. I couldn't trust the girls. The Thai Side Mathayom students are all girls and maybe the girls of my class may be spies. But still, I will report this to the boys and not the girls.
*End of flashback*
Zoe: Ever since I eavesdrop T. Anan's conversation with the head teacher, I started not trusting Thai side students. And the girls from class.
Sheryl: I believe it's impolite to eavesdrop but what you're trying to do is the right thing. You are trying to save us EP students.
Zoe: I know, but I can't do this alone.
Aidan: That's why we want you to join us. We also eavesdrop the conversation between T. Anan and the head teacher while playing basketball.
*Flashback*
Head Teacher: Look, I don't want this stupid nonsense from your department. Especially from your impolite students.
T. Anan: Impolite? They are rule-abiding, they would never be impolite. Unless it's one of those rebellious girls from Grade 8.
Head Teacher: I need them to be punished. Every EP student you find, especially the ones who are still in primary school.
Aidan: They want to punish us? What did we do?
Thaiyo: I dunno.
Raphael: We would never do such thing, all we did is play basketball.
Ankit: Maybe we need to form an alliance in order to prove that we didn't do anything. But we need someone to help us with it.
Yuto: Maybe Zoe can help, she is one of the smartest girls in school.
Aidan: Are you sure? We don't trust girls, they might be spies.
Raphael: I dunno, maybe Zoe is the only one we could turn to. Let's ask her.
*End of flashback*
Zoe: That's the reason why you invited me to your home yesterday?
Aidan: Not just that. We were supposed to have a meeting the week before. But we have to postpone it because Raphael has been suffering from type 1 diabetes.
Sheryl: I was there too. While the boys were in our house, I told them about what has been going on in Grade 10. I told them about it after school.
*Flashback*
Sheryl: Guys, I need to tell you something.
Thaiyo: What is it?
Sheryl: The girls in my class. They were acting weird and I thought they were my friends. They told me how impolite I was and that I deserve to go back to Hong Kong. Also, that I have the corona.
Raphael: That's racist.
Sheryl: I know. They even call me 'Chink.'
Aidan: Does Game know anything about this?
Sheryl: He does. He told me everything. That the head teacher has been controlling Thai girls all over the school to take all of us down. She didn't take me because I'm foreign.
Aidan: Oh no, maybe she'll take Zoe too.
Zoe: Did anyone call me?
*End of flashback*
Zoe: I was there?
Aidan: Yes, you were there.
*Flashback*
Zoe: Sorry, didn't mean to be obtrusive or anything. But I think you might be talking about the head teacher controlling minds of every female student here. Did she take me?
Sheryl: No, you're fine. You're foreign too.
Zoe: But I was born in Thailand.
Yuto: Yes, but you studied here for 7 years now. Yet the head teacher isn't able to control your mind.
Zoe: But she got my friends. Now they are plotting stuff against me.
Thaiyo: Then don't trust girls, we will form this alliance next year. Once we could figure out why the Thai side head teacher is against us, then we'll know what's really going on.
Zoe: I'm in. In every group project we're working on, I'll join you guys.
Raphael: Thanks.
Zoe: No prob.
*End of flashback*
Zoe: Now I really know what's going on. But I still don't know why.
Thaiyo: We'll figure out. Once Raphael wakes up from a coma, we'll all figure out and then we'll be free from the cages.
Sheryl: The racial discrimination cages.
Zoe: Then I'm in no matter what. Even if Raphael is not here.
Mrs. Lau met the kids in the cafeteria.
Mrs. Lau: Guys, let's go home.
Yuto: But it's still raining. I think we should wait until it stops.
Ankit: Yeah, I agree.
Zoe: (narrating) Last year, the head teacher decided to control everyone's minds. Except for the boys and the foreign or half foreign girls. It's kinda strange because I was born in Thailand to immigrant parents. But I'm glad I'm not alone. I have my friends with me. Now it's our chance to be together and fight the controlled girls and the head teacher herself.
