The Worst Possible Place to Be

The scene is in a school with a lot of children walking around. A boy named JOHN is looking down at his timetable walking through the corridor. He is a short boy with short blond hair and he is wearing a shirt with the buttons done the whole way up. He looks very out of place. HARRY approaches him. He is less out of place as he is wearing baggy jeans that hang loose and a bright orange t shirt.

HARRY

So you’re the new kid, eh?

JOHN

Yeah, that’s me, I just moved over from Ireland.

HARRY

 Yeah, well, let me tell you something, this school’s tough, you know? You can’t look like that with your combed hair and your top button up. You can’t stand out as a total twat because they will absolutely murder you.

JOHN

 Oh dear, I thought I looked quite smart

HARRY

 Listen bruv, you stick with me for the first week or so and I’ll set you on your way in this hole. If you come to school looking like that again I will personally kick your arse.

JOHN

 Okay, I’m sorry; could you teach me a few things?

HARRY

Yeah, Ill do that but I charge by the day. My rate is fifteen quid. You sound with that?

JOHN

 FIFTEEN POUNDS A DAY! That’s a lot of money

HARRY

 It’s either that or you get your ass whooped every time you walk through those front doors. Anyway, for that price, I’ll throw in a few of my exes if you know what I mean.

JOHN

Mm, okay?

HARRY

My exes? Ex-girlfriends you lousy sod. I’ll hook you up with them, you know?

JOHN

Em, ok, that sounds good?

HARRY

Yeah, you’re right it sounds good. Listen I gotta get going. One of the ex’s is lonely and needs a male companion. (winks) I’ll see you tomorrow then

A period of 24 hours is skipped as the screen goes black.We then see the two boys JOHN and HARRY walking down a different corridor from yesterday chatting. JOHN is now looking more casual with jeans and a t shirt. HARRY is wearing a pair of tracksuit bottoms

HARRY

 So, what do you think of the place?

JOHN

 Well, it’s certainly not like my old school.

HARRY

 So, what are you doing here anyway, I mean, a posh twat like you going to a hole like this.

JOHN

 Well, my parents were killed in a house fire. I survived, luckily.

HARRY

Whoa, I’m sorry to hear that, man. It must be tough (John bursts out laughing) Oh you little shit. I never realised you even had a sense of humour but that’s just sick.

JOHN

 Hahaha, I got you good. Anyway my mum got a job working over here because she got promoted from her job in Ireland and this is the only school in the area so I had to go here.

Join now!

HARRY

 Anyway, let’s go, I needa show you around a bit. Here. This guy walking up now. His name is Sean Fagan. He is probably the toughest guy in the school. Do not mess with him. He supposedly one time killed a guy with his bare hands but they couldn’t prove it was him. Don’t even make eye contact with him.

JOHN

 Well, I’ll certainly stay out of his way. What does that say on his coat? Hardcore B******? Okay, now I’m scared.

HARRY

 You’ll be fine. Just make sure you never go down any alleys during ...
