Clockwise

We enter in on a clear day,

Zamnza
Hi! Most of you already know me, but I live in a not-so-oridinary house and have a few not-so-ordinary friends! For example, take my morning every day...

Alarm clock goes off showing Zamnza that it's already 7:30 AM

Zamnza
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! 7:30?!!! I'M GONNA BE LATE!!!!!

Zamnza makes a big ruckus behind door, while Mama, the maid of the house, sweeps the hallway...

Mama
That girl...

Zamnza then bursts out of the door in her school clothes...

Zamnza-in a background that sparkles like there's glass in the air
And I'm officially dressed!!!

Mama
It's 7:35....

Zamnza
EEK! I STILL DIDN'T EAT BREAKFAST!

Zamnza is still screaming-- Mama
It's on the Table...

Zamnza
AHHH! THANKS MAMA!

We flash to a scene at the table where Simone is finishing breakfast...SLAM OPENS THE DOOR!

Zamnza
*spooky* you.... *loud fast* WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME! I WAS GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!

Simone-still eating
I didn't want to wake you... and besides... it's late start today...

Zamnza gives a confused look

Zamnza
Oh geez...that's right...

Zamnza sits on a chair across, and becomes silent

Zamnza
HEY DID YOU SAVE ANY OF THAT FOR ME?!

Simone
Ya snooze, ya lose...

Zamnza
ARGH! NO FAIR!!!

Mama
Did you guys finish breakfast?

Zamnza & Simone
THanks Mama!

Mama
Don't forget to say goodbye to mother, you know how left out she feels about these things...

Zamnza
We will!

Simone
We would never forget about mother!

Mother
Of course you won't...

Mama, Simone, & Zamnza
*creepy* MMMMOTHER!

Mother-in the dark
Are you two going to school or what?

Simone & Zamnza
YES MAM! BYEEE!

Zamnza
Come on let's go!

And they leave leaving smoke behind them

Mama
COUGH COUGH! geez... I just sweeped this floor...

ZAMNZA OMNISCIENT
See what I mean? not so normal now is it? okay maybe... but wait until you see our classroom!

Simone
Now remember! we're supposed to get a new student today! And try not to hit An in the back of the head when he sleeps...

Zamnza
GOT IT!

Ms. Chung
Okay kids! It's time to sit down! As you know we are getting a new student in the class!

Door knocks

Ms. Chung
That's him now!

Ms. Chung walks to the door and opens it..

Ms. Chung
Ah! You're here! Class I'd like you to meet-

A boy walks in with a red hat and a blue shirt...

GASP SCENE!

Zamnza-jumps up
*slow creepy* jayson...hernandeeeezzzzz....

Jayson
Zamnza....

Ms. Chung
Ah! It's nice to know you two know each other...

Simone
*whispering* Zamnza...calm down...

Zamnza sits down immediately

An
Hey Jayson! Come sit near me!

Jayson
Like I had a choice...

Ms. Chung
Now, today we are going to learn how to find the surface area of a cylinder so--

Zamnza
*whispering* I still don't trust him!

Simone
*whispering* Maybe he changed! That was a long time ago Zamnza... let it go...

Zamnza grunts and turns to face the front

Jayson
*whispering* An! Zamnza changed a lot since I left...

An is sleeping the class away like he always does, with the book standing up striaight so it looks like he's reading the book instead of sleeping... Jayson just ignores him and pulls out his shuffle to listen during class hoping he won't get caught

Ms. Chung
Jayson! do you have an MP3 with you?

Jayson
no...

Ms. Chung
good

Jayson
It's a shuffle...

Ms. CHung
Give me that! Your parents can pick this up after school!

Zamnza-snorts

Ms. Chung
You think this is funny?! You can stay here after school too!

Zamnza and Jayson
Yes mam...

Simone nodds her head, and An continues to sleep

Ms. Chung
Now if only you two can be as focused as your clones here!

An
*SNORE!*

ZAMNZA OMNISCIENT
And if that wasn't bad enough check out what happened after school!

Zamnza
So you came back...

Jayson
yeah...

Zamnza
What is it this time?

Jayson
My brother got a job here...

Zamnza
You mean Garet?

Jayson
Yeah Garet...

Zamnza
Weird... I don't think I ever met your family! Mind if I come over

Jayson
SHut up

Zamnza
hmph! You have changed Jayson!

Jayson
I can say the same thing to you

Zamnza
WHAT?!

Jayson
*sigh* you were so cute when you and I were kids what happened?

Jayson gets hit with a book on the head... the book says, ENCYCLOPEDIA OF EVERYTHING

Zamnza
That's what you get!

ZAMNZA OMNISCENT
He's hiding something!... And what's even worse is, when I come home I find out this!

We flash to a scene inside the Ballesteros's home..

Zamnza
WHAT?! JAYSON'S MOM IS YOUR BEST FRIEND MOTHER?!

Mother
hmm.... His last name is Hernandez right?

Zamnza
yeah...

Mother
Ah yes... we used to go to school together... i should ask Jayson how she's doing...

Zamnza
...I'll build a fort...

Doorbell rings

Mama
I'll get it! ....oh hi!....Sure come in!...

Jayson walks through the door

Zamnza
OH SNAP! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!

Jayson
Shut up Zamnza! I was invited here!

Zamnza
WHAT BY WHO?!

Mother
By me...

Zamnza
AHH! MY OWN mother....

Mother
It's nice to meet you Hernandez kid

Zamnza
What?

Jayson
Greetings...

Zamnza
Huh?

Mother
How is your mom?

Zamnza
Who?

Jayson
She's doing well

Mother
uh huh... Zamnza... Show Jayson to your room...

Zamnza
Huh? what? HECK NO! I DON'T WANT HIM IN MY ROOM!

Mother eyes stare at Zamnza in a scary way...

Zamnza
*sigh* okay... But I'm not holdin' his hand! Come on you dog...

Jayson
I'm not your pet...

Mama
Such a nice boy! He wiped his feet before he came inside!

Mother
ANd so polite.... his mother taught him well...

MAma
But didn't you teach HIS mother how to be polite

Mother
exactly

Mama
Ahh!

In Zamnza's room, Zamnza and Jayson are just staring at each other... Jayson stands up and looks around the room...

Jayson
I see your tastes turned bad...

Zamnza
WHO ASKED YOU?!

Simone walks in the door
Guys stop fighting! Look I brought sodas! So please stop!

Zamnza
It's his fault!

Jayson looks angrily

Jayson
Zamnza... I need to talk to you...

Zamnza
huh? about what?

Jayson
AFter school, tomorrow... Jeff the Janitor's shed... meet me there... We need to talk

Zamnza
HOLD ONNNN! You didn't ask my first question

Jayson
Just meet me there okay?

Zamnza
but-

Jayson leaves

STEAM COMES FROM ZAMNZA'S EARS!!!
Simone backs away in fear

Zamnza
I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM!

Simone
Hey Zamnza...

Zamnza
hmm?

Simone
Jayson had to tell you somehting... in the Janitor's shed...

Zamnza

Simone
Don't you think that's kind of awkward? That he needs to talk to you in a shed?

Zamnza
You're right! I wonder what he wants?
