SCRIPT: The Students Acolytes
HUMOR
16 chairs at the centre of the stage lined up 4x4. Facing the right at the small black board, as the audience looks at them the view to them would be sideways.
Camera zooms to the boy with white hair, blue eyes, and pale skin wearing the school uniform which is a white full sleeve shirt with a blue coat having the school’s emblem and a blue and black tie(for boys, and girls, and everyone is wearing it) in the back row sitting on the first chair the audience can see for the back row stands up.
DANTE: Does anyone realise that the teacher isn’t here?
Camera zooms at a boy with black hair, and eyes, with Latino descent in the 3rd row, the farthest chair from the audience pointing out in a quiet voice only the audience can hear.
MONTY: And the fact that it’s snowing a bit too hard.
Camera moves back as all the class stares at Dante. A girl with gold eyes, black hair, and dark chocolate skin, to his left looks at Dante while sitting down, the one in the 2nd chair at the back row(also known as the fifth, as it is the farthest from the board) Not hearing Monty.
JAMIE: Of course we know that Dante. The teacher will come.
Everyone looks back down with whispers everywhere.The person in front of Dante with green eyes, and red hair, and peachy skin whispers to him in a little bit of a Scottish accent only them and the girl can hear.
STARK: I heard that if the teacher is gone for 15 minutes then we don’t have a teacher for the whole day.
Camera zooms as Monty also again whispers only for the audience to hear.
MONTY: Of course they won’t come, Stark, look at the snow.
Camera zooms back as Dante looks at his watch on stage, and whispers back to Stark and Jamie is still listening to the conversation.
DANTE: It’s been 20 minutes! We don’t have a teacher today!
Jamie smacks both of them in the head with a book.
DANTE & STARK: !!!
Camera goes back as all of the class stare back at the three except Monty who finally stands and snaps.
MONTY: IT’S SNOWING LIKE CRAZY! ARE ALL OF YOU THIS OBLIVIOUS? WERE STUCK IN THE SCHOOL WITH NO TEACHERS!
Camera zooms to Dante and Stark have a sneaking glance, then zooms back as The class looks at him and laughs, A girl with with black hair, purple eyes, and tan skin at the front row in the 3rd seat tells him,
ELISE: HA Monty! If that’s true then what about the rest of the school?
Monty looks at everyone, face-palming.
MONTY: You are all oblivious, Serenity they already got the message.
Elise looks back.
ELISE: If that’s true then why did you come?
MONTY: I have parents. Obsessed with my studies. I honestly don’t blame them.(Shrugs)
DANTE: Then what do we do then?
JAMIE: The phone!
The class looks at her confused.
JAMIE: The phone in the principal’s office room. I can go get it. But I need 2 others to help me carry it. It's not the lightest when you need an old telephone,(looks confused at a boy) and Paul? Why are you raising your hand?
Camera zooms as the class stares at Paul. A guy with sandy brown hair, tan skin and blue eyes in the 4th row in the 4th chair stands up lowering his hand.
PAUL: Who are you going to take?
Jamie sways her hand at Dante and Stark.
JAMIE: These two are probably going to make a ruckus. I’d rather not have that.
Some of the class snicker at the words and the sight of Dante and Stark being pulled backstage by Jamie.
DANTE: This is unacceptable!(Says being dragged)
STARK: I am saying on behalf of everybody that I am flabbergasted!(Says while being dragged
after Dante’s sentence)
Dante, Stark, and Jamie are gone backstage. Camera zooms as the class starts talking, to a girl with reddish brown hair, and brown eyes in the front row in the 2nd chair.
REY: Hmm, perhaps I should call my parents.(Takes out phone)
EVERYBODY IN THE CLASS: REY!
REY: Oh, don’t be that hard on me.
Rey checks her phone. It is dead.
REY: What! It’s not working!
Camera zooms to a girl with brown eyes and hair, milk chocolate skin, and a red scarf over her uniform who’s left of Monty.
AISHA: Now that’s karma Louis.
Camera flips to a boy with blond hair, fair skin with grey eyes next to her snickers.
LOUIS: That was bound to happen Aisha.
REY: Hey!
The rest of the class snickers, except Monty who doesn’t care at the moment. Dante, Stark, and Jamie come back panting and holding the phone.
STARK: We’re *gasp* back!(In a singsong voice)
Camera zooms as the class looks intently as Jamie attaches the plug at the back of the class. She dials a number.
911: 911. What’s your emergency?
DANTE *snatches the phone from Jamie*: We’re stuck inside our school. Castello Middle School.
911: Oh! Well, don’t panic, we will be there soon.
end of the call.
DANTE: As if we were a bunch of panicking gazelles,(he mutters only for the audience to hear) anyways were saved!
The class make a huge sigh of relief. A knock happens on the door.
MONTY: Guys…
DANTE: See! They're here already (mumbles under his breath) That was a bit too soon for 911. Did they hear what I said?
Jamie face-palms hearing Dante mumble, and opens the door. which is behind the board and a guy in a black coat and fedora comes from backstage. No one can see his face as he is bent down.
DANTE: You look nothing like 911.
STARK: I don’t think 911 comes without having a police uniform.
The man in black takes out an axe. It is about as long as 5 inches.
DANTE: You are definitely not 911
MAN IN BLACK: What? I’m Mr. Wolfgang. What do you mean 911?
DANTE: We were stuck in school. It was snowing.
MAN IN BLACK: What? No, it looked like snow because someone put 70 bags of ice on one of the giant fans.
Dante & Stark look sheepishly down, Jamie gives a firm smack at them. They don’t try to protest.
JAMIE: Then why was everyone gone?
MR. WOLFGANG: Because it’s Saturday?
Rey stands up and points to Monty.
REY: Why did you lie to us?
MONTY: I was saying what’s there. I thought all of you went to night school now.
EVERYBODY *except Mr.Wolfgang and Monty*: Night School?
STARK *whispers to Dante*: Hang on, how did we not know it’s night time?
DANTE *deadpans* : It’s Alaska.
MR. WOLFGANG: Yes, now let me cancel that 911 call, and get this all over with. My students come at 6:00 p.m.
Five people come up on stage and have guns. One of them speaks.
POLICE 1: This is the police
MONTY: There has been a misunderstanding!
POLICE 2: What?(Shakes his head) Children being children.
MR. WOLFGANG: Yes, I’m very sorry.(Gives $50) This is for the trouble.
POLICE 1: I *eyes money it is very clear he’s new to the police force with how he looks young* Thank you, and kids try to not be a nuisance to your teacher.
Police exit. Dante & Stark give each other a big grin only the audience can see.
THE END...
