Instructions

(it's much simpler to put in the description, don’t judge) (Jane, on phone with Nyla) (nervous) Well, Nyla, you ready? Our first day of seventh grade! (Nyla) (sheepish) absolutely not! I could barely handle late elementary school, how am I supposed to handle middle school! (Jane) (excited) How about we meet up tomorrow morning and walk to school together! (Nyla) (laughing) That sounds like more of a demand than a suggestion! (Jane) (nervous) see you tomorrow, nyla -morning comes- (Jane, brushing her teeth) You got this, Jane. You got this. (spits, deep breath) (runs outside) (Jane, anxious) Where’s Nyla... (Nyla, confidently strutting in) Fashionably late! (Jane, sarcastic) What happened to nervousness? (eye roll) (Nyla) (sarcastic) I decided I’m to good for it! (laugh) (Jane, eager) Let’s get going. School starts at eight and it’s already seven-fifty. (Nyla, nervous, eager, scared) Yup lets go (quick) -school- (Jane, spotting Alex walk in as she does, annoyed, anxious) Great, Alex, elementary bully. (mutter) (Alex, sarcastic, rude) Hmmmmm? Did I hear something, Jane? (Jane, walking ahead to Nyla, annoyed, frustrated) Why does he have to go here, too?! (Nyla, tired) I don’t know, but let's just pick up our schedules and head to class. You know I still have to act like part of his posse. (Jane, taking schedule) Dangit! One class together! Hopefully I have none with Alex. Or Randy. (Nyla, falling back to talk with Alex, kind, happy, fake) Alex! How’s your summer gone? Its kind of nice having that idiot Jane’s phone number. I can bug her even more! (Alex, laughing) Hah! Yeah. Now that we’re back in school, I can torture her more than elementary! (cackle) Should we wait by the schedule table for Randy? (Nyla, eager) Let’s just get going. He won't mind, that slowpoke. -class- (Jane sits in the last remaining seat, beside Randy) (Randy, weak, fake intimidation) Jane! So excited to see you. Me and Alex can torture you so much in middle school! (Jane, eye roll, annoyed) Hopefully I can change my homeroom seat. -montage of classes, Alex and Randy in common scenes, talk to Nyla in halls- (Jane, walking home after school) Finally, that day is over! (pause outside doorstep and check phone, goes to Adrina’s contact) (Jane, sad, wistful) We’d been so looking forward to starting middle school together... Two years since our last messages... -flashback- (Jane, excited) Fourth grade! In just three years, we’ll start middle school together! (Adrina, wistful, fake excited, sad) Yeah! Maybe... (Jane, excited) Of course we will! (Adrina) (sigh) -end flashback- (Jane, touching portal stone, detailed ermned) Adrina, I will find you. We will connect. Somehow. Someday. Some when. -falls into credits sequence-
