In the lunchroom, April is wreaking havoc.

April

Hand over your lunch money.

Why should I? (Defiantly)

April

Uh…because if you don’t I’ll teach you a lesson.

john

About what, manners? (Slowly walking back)

April

About having a broken nose!

          APRIL raises her fist.

john

Fine, here it is! (Cowardly)

          JOHN hands his lunch money to APRIL. APRIL snatches it out of his hand. JACKSON watches from a few tables away.

Jackson

I’m going to stand up to her! (Brave)

Michael

You’re on your own.

Brady
