### SCENE ONE: Walking To School

* ***Jacob (narrating):*** So, if you don't know me, I am Jacob Hitchgrave, and I am now in a school called Ruskin Secondary in Rumley. Now let me warn you, this place ain't just a normal school, I heard on the news that this school is the most craziest school in Rumley.
* ***Arthur:*** Alright son, you are going to be just fine, but I am going to read out some rules
* ***Jacob:*** Rules? Isn't there already rules in this school.
* ***Arthur:*** I know, but I made some special rules, just for you.
* ***Jacob:*** Alright, get it over with.
* ***Arthur:*** \*pulls out piece of paper from his pocket\* Rule Number One: No talking to your mates when the teacher is talking.
* ***Jacob (narrating)*:** Despite having to hear my father's useless rules that are already put in place in this school, I am beginning to think that my father might be wrong about all of this.
* ***Arthur:*** Alright son, you heard all that?
* ***Jacob:*** Yes, yes, I heard all that.
* ***Arthur:*** Now don't be an idiot in there, I don't want another fancy phone call like what happened in your old school.
* ***Jacob:*** Oh my god, all I did was smashed a teacher's whiteboard.
* ***Arthur:*** Well don't do that idiotic stuff in there, understand? Good, now enjoy your day, daddy loves you.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** What you just experiences was my dad kissing me on the forehead, like what they do in primary.

### SCENE TWO: Astro Turf

* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Thank god my dad had left the gates and left me alone. Now my next mission is to find my form group line.
* *A boy named Calvin walked over to Jacob*
* ***Calvin:*** Excuse me, do you know where is Mr Essex's form?
* ***Jacob:*** You're in Mr Essex's form aswell, well me too!
* ***Calvin:*** Well, that is convenient, and I think I see Mr Essex's form at the back of the line.
* ***Jacob:*** Oh yes, there they are.
* ***Jacob (narrating)*:** And then I saw a teacher called Mrs Home at the line with Miss Gardens.
* ***Mrs Home:*** Oh, you must be Jacob Hitchgrave and Calvin Reynolds! Welcome to the Speech and Language group.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that I have speech difficulties, reason that I am speaking so weirdly. But besides all that, I saw another boy standing next to them.
* ***Mrs Home:*** Now boys, can you be friends with Ryan here, he had been bullied a lot when he was in primary?
* ***Calvin:*** Uh... sure, we will be friends, I guess.
* ***Miss Gardens:*** Now treat him fairly boys, I don't want Ryan to come to our office telling us that you have been treating him "unfairly".
* ***Jacob:*** I mean, why would we ever treat him unfairly, we will be ever so kind to this kind man.
* ***Ryan:*** Hi... I am very kind.
* ***Mrs Home:*** Now that is sorted, me and Miss Gardens must get going, see you in the first lesson at some point.
* ***Miss Gardens:*** Goodbye boys.

*Mr Wallace walks on astro turf, with the rest of the form tutors.*

* ***Mr Wallace:*** Hello everyone! If you don't know who I am, I am Mr Wallace, and I am your Year Seven achievement co-ordinator. Now, one form at a time, please make a straight line, and head straight to the assembly hall.
* ***Mr Essex:*** Right, you heard this man, can everyone form a proper straight line.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** I heard that Mr Essex is the most fun teacher in the whole school, and it will be a shame if he ever did leave.

### SCENE THREE: Assembly Hall

* ***Jacob (narrating):*** As I walked in the assembly hall, it really did feel like home for the next five years.
* ***Mr Wallace:*** Now repeat after me, good morning school!
* ***Everyone:*** Good morning school.
* ***Mr Wallace:*** We'll improve this over the new few years, but now, welcome to Ruskin Secondary. We are known for being a weird and unusual school, we staff are trained to make your school life here a bit more interesting and a bit weird in a sense. Our assembly days will be on Wednesdays and Fridays. I have been teaching in this school for a whooping 35 years, it's a pain in the arse sometimes, but I always find myself out of tricky situations.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** As I listen to Mr Wallace speak, I started to remember the rules that my bloody idiot of a father read out to me.
* ***Mr Wallace:*** Now Year Seven, we are going to watch a little introduction video to help you settle in properly.
* *(Proud by Heather Small plays while showing students learning new stuff)*
* ***(music fades out) Jacob (narrating):*** As I continued to watch the video, I recognised that this school is sometimes not fun, but it shows the students actually learning algebra or whatever they are doing.

***VIDEO ENDS***

* ***Mr Wallace:*** Right then, I hoped that video helped you calm a little, eh Year Seven?
* ***Everyone:*** (moans)
* ***Mr Wallace (quietly):*** Don't I just love my bloody job to help these little Year Sevens to feel like home here.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** I can already tell Mr Wallace wanted to quit out of nowhere, like he just realised he actually said that out loud on the microphone attached to his mouth.
* ***Mr Wallace:*** Oh shit, I do apologise for saying that Year Seven, I didn't realise you heard all that.
* ***Everyone:*** (laughs out loud)
* ***Mr Wallace*:** Oh great, now that is absolutely embarrassing. Right then, better be off to your new form rooms.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Let's not talk about Mr Wallace embarrassing himself on microphone, shall we?
* ***Mr Essex:*** Mr Wallace, what was that all about?
* ***Mr Wallace:*** I don't know Jeremy, I may think that this might not be the best start to the year for me.
* ***Mr Essex:*** But John, they all came to this school for fun, so maybe try to act normal?
* ***Mr Wallace:*** You know what Jeremy, just go to your form, I want to actually try to be calm.
* ***Mr Essex:*** Alright, I'm going to my form room.

### SCENE FOUR: Form Room

* ***Jacob:*** Calvin, what did you think of that embarrassing assembly?
* ***Calvin:*** He definitely embarrassed himself, so that was a really fun start in my opinion.
* ***Mr Essex:*** Right, I put all of you in a seating plan that you will remember.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** So, I was placed next to a girl, her name was Olivia Bryan, and when I first looked at her, I knew we are going to make good friends.
* ***Olivia B:*** Oh hello, what's your name?
* ***Jacob:*** Jacob.
* ***Olivia B:*** Oh hello Jacob, my name is Olivia Bryan.
* ***Jacob:*** Hi Olivia.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** However, Calvin felt the same towards another girl, her name is Mia Love, but she is not the former United States representive.
* ***Calvin:*** It is a pleasure to meet you Mia, we are going to make good friends.
* ***Jacob:*** Hey, Calvin.
* ***Calvin:*** What?
* ***Jacob:*** Are you friends with her?
* ***Calvin:*** Yeah, and are you friends with "her"?
* ***Olivia B:*** Yeah Calvin, we are friends. Why you ask that?
* ***Jacob:*** I just wanted to know Olivia.
* ***Olivia B:*** I guess that's fine then.
* ***Jacob:*** Do you know where Ryan sits?
* ***Calvin:*** Over there, sitting with a boy named Liam Costa.
* ***Jacob:*** I'm sorry, how do you know who he is?
* ***Calvin:*** He is from Portugal, I met him when I was travelling to Portugal for the summer holidays just a few years ago, pretty sure he doesn't know who I am.
* ***Jacob:*** Ok then...
* ***Mr Essex:*** Timetables coming your way!
* ***Everyone:*** Woah!
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Mr Essex really did find the fun way to deliver timetables to student's desks.
* ***Calvin:*** Hey Jacob, you have Geography first?
* ***Jacob:*** Yes Calvin, I do
* ***Calvin:*** With Mrs Pot?
* ***Jacob:*** Yeah.
* ***Olivia B:*** I have Mr Johnson as my geography teacher.
* ***Mia*:** Me too, we must be in the same class.
* ***Olivia B:*** You have him tomorrow Period Three?
* ***Mia:*** Yes I do Olivia.
* ***Olivia B:*** Cool, cool.
* ***Mr Essex:*** And here's your planners!
* ***Everyone:*** \*cheers\*
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Like I said before, he is pretty good at throwing stuff around the room.
* ***Mr Essex:*** And your locker keys!
* ***Everyone:*** Go on sir, go on sir!
* ***Ryan:*** Ow!
* ***Mr Essex:*** Oh my god, I am sorry Ryan!
* ***Ryan:*** It's fine sir, the pain only lasted a second.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** At that point, I thought Ryan was overreacting about a bloody locker key hitting him. But however, there is more where the story continues after break.

***END OF THE FIRST HALF***

### SCENE FIVE: Lunchtime

* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Lunchtime, and the best time to get together with your mates, and have a little laugh. However myself, Ryan and Calvin doesn't really feel amazed at the fact that they have to pay for their lunch, but today we get it for free. As we had a very average Geography lesson, at least we can tuck in to a lovely roast.
* ***Jacob:*** Well, at least this lunch is free today as they are setting up our fingerprint for our money to be put in.
* ***Ryan:*** This is a bit better than what they served us in primary school.
* ***Calvin:*** Oh god, don't bloody remind me about primary school. They served us cold stew on Monday's, and some people vomited it out after taking a mouthful.
* ***Ryan:*** Your dinner ladies might be idiots Calvin.
* ***Calvin:*** Well they were men actually, and definitely should get fired.
* ***Jacob:*** My lunch ladies at my primary school were pretty nice, my cousin also works as a chef there.
* ***Ryan:*** Lucky. My lunch ladies were also nice at my primary school, despite I had to go to a catholic church for some reason.
* ***Jacob:*** Are you even a Christian?
* ***Ryan:*** Oh god no.
* ***Calvin:*** Well by saying god's name in vein, I wouldn't think you were a Christian.
* ***Ryan:*** Glad you noticed Calvin, now that was a light meal, but now we need to eat this treacle tart.
* ***Jacob:*** Looks a bit sticky you know?
* ***Calvin:*** That is what treacle tart is meant to be you dumb ass.
* ***Jacob:*** Oh right, it is just I never had treacle tart before, that's all.
* ***Calvin:*** I deeply apologise for that talk back Jacob.
* ***Ryan:*** Ouch!
* ***Calvin:*** What Ryan- oh my god!
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** For those who are unclear of what is happen, well Ryan had got his tooth stuck on the treacle tooth, and it was loose, and I think he lost a tooth.
* ***Calvin:*** Yeah, his tooth has fallen out.
* ***Jacob:*** I didn't know he had a loose tooth, why didn't you tell us?
* ***Ryan:*** Didn't wanna tell you.
* ***Jacob:*** Hold still, blood is dripping out of your mouth.
* ***Ryan:*** \*passes out\*
* ***Jacob:*** OH MY GOD, HE BLOODY PASSED OUT! SOMEONE HELP OVER HERE.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Luckily a boy named Liam Costa ran over to help Ryan and I left to go to get some water from the water fountain.
* ***Calvin:*** Jacob, Jacob, he is back up again!
* ***Jacob:*** Thank god he is alright.
* ***Calvin:*** You should've seen Liam's CPR.
* ***Jacob:*** Right, I should go fill up my bottle.

### SCENE SIX: Bully Scene

* ***Ryan:*** There you are Calvin and Ryan.
* ***Jacob:*** Are you alright now?
* ***Ryan:*** Don't worry about what you saw, it was nothing.
* ***Ryan and Calvin:*** \*gets pushed into bush\*
* ***Jacob:*** OH GOD. HEY! You idiot! How dare you!
* **Bully:** \*runs away\*
* ***Jacob:*** \*groans\*
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** So I helped Ryan and Calvin up from the bush, and went on to fill my water bottle.
* ***Mrs Home:*** Oh my gosh Ryan and Calvin, who pushed you in the bush?
* ***Ryan And Calvin (pointing):*** That one!
* ***Mrs Home:*** Thank you boys, HEY!
* ***Jacob:*** \*fills up bottle\*
* ***Bully 1:*** Hello little one.
* ***Bully 2:*** Where's your mummy and daddy at?
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** Despite suspicion, I decided to ignore them and went on to use the loo.
* ***Jacob:*** \*urinates\*
* ***Bully 1:*** \*knocks on door\* I know you're in there, no point hiding little one.
* ***Jacob (narrating):*** So basically I had no way to get out, but I had to budge the door open, and when I did, this happened.
* ***Jacob:*** \*opens door\*
* ***Bully 1:*** \*grabs Jacob's head\* How do you like toilet water?
* ***Bully 1:*** \*shoves Jacob's head down the toilet\*
* ***Jacob:*** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
* ***Olivia MC:*** Are you drowning a little boy in there?
* ***Bully 2:*** Go away little girl, or else I will stick your fat arse in the bin.
* ***Olivia MC:*** What about no? \*kicks Bully 2 in the nuts\*
* ***Bully 2:*** *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!*
* ***Bully 1:*** Ouch, are you alright? \*rushes out the toilets\*
* ***Olivia MC:*** \*runs in\* Jacob, are you alright? \*hugs Jacob tightly\*
* ***Jacob:*** I had my head down the toilet, what does it look like? And how do you know my name- wait, Olivia MacCarthy?
* ***Olivia MC:*** I went to your primary Jacob, I was just in the other class!
* ***Jacob:*** I knew I recognise you as soon you walked in the Astro Turf.
* **Olivia MC:** \*dries Jacob's face\* of course, I recognised you too, but at that time, I was a bit too nervous to even talk.
* ***Jacob:*** Really? Anyway, you gotta meet my friends.
* ***Olivia MC:*** Yeah alright, show me to them.

### SCENE SEVEN: The Blue Circle

* ***Olivia B:*** There you are Jacob, where have you been, and why are you wet?
* ***Olivia MC:*** Some Year 11 dunked his head in the toilet, causing some splashes on his blazer.
* ***Ryan:*** Oh my god.
* ***Calvin:*** That is worse than being pushed into a bush.
* ***Olivia MC:*** They bullied you guys aswell?!
* ***Ryan:*** Basically yes.
* ***Olivia MC:*** Goodness gracious, but let's hope you are all alright.

***POLICE SIREN***

* ***Jacob:*** Hold up, did someone call the police or something?
* ***Calvin:*** Oh and I forgot, they also sends bullies to isolation rooms in the police station, and look over there Jacob.
* ***Bully 1:*** You have no rights to arrest us.
* ***Bully 2:*** You can't arrest us, we're innocent.
* ***Police Officer:*** Well I don't think dunking someone's head in the toilet or pushing people into the bush counts as innocent buddy, now shut up.

***POLICE SIREN***

* ***Everyone:*** \*laughs out loud\*
* ***Mrs Home:*** What is it guys, why are we laughing?
* ***Jacob:*** Those bullies got what they deserve.
* ***Mrs Home:*** Oh! \*chuckles\* oh Jacob, you're wet.
* **Jacob:** I had my head dunked inside the toilet Miss.
* ***Mrs Home:*** Oh Jacob!
* ***Miss Gardens:*** Well boys and girls, that is one eventual day you all had!
* ***Mrs Pot:*** Yeah, and make sure if one of you get bullied again, we'll know immediately and we will come over to sort this out.
* ***Everyone:*** Yes, we understand.
* ***Mrs Pot:*** Right, well we are heading off back, enjoy your last period of the day.
* ***Everyone:*** We will! Bye!
* ***Mia:*** Oh yeah, girl with blonde hair, we don't know your name yet.
* ***Olivia MC:*** Oh, it's Olivia, Olivia MacCarthy.
* ***Olivia B:*** We both have the name Olivia.
* ***Olivia MC:*** Oh yes, Olivia One.
* ***Olivia B:*** Indeed, Olivia Two.
* ***Olivia B & Olivia MC:*** \*laughs\*
* ***Jacob:*** Hey, we should be in like a gang or something? Well we should because we are getting along so nicely.
* ***Everyone:*** Yeah, we should be in a gang.
* ***Jacob:*** What is this, why are we in sync?
* **Ryan:** Honestly I don't know, right WhatsApp numbers, write it down on this piece of paper

**"Together Forever"** by Rick Astley plays, ending the episode.
