Stuck In Time(Transcript)

The children are finally able to go to school. At the same time, the play can go on smoothly so the theater kids, choir kids and the orchestra kids can meet up in the auditorium.

Kandace: Guys!

Zoe: Hey Annika, you alright?

Kandace: I'm good.

Zoe: What about Raphael, Yuto, Thaiyo and Aidan?

Kandace: We're doing fine and guess what?

George: What is going on there?

Kandace: We have 2 new recruits, they are Emily Bampton, a girl from Year 7 and Molly Chen, another girl from Year 7. Molly is Chinese-British too.

Zoe: Wait, are they my friends from kindergarden?

Kandace: Yes, they told me they want to see you so follow me.

The main protagonists followed Kandace to a group of 2 girls, one Chinese one white.

Kandace: Emily, Molly.

Molly and Emily: Zoe?

Zoe: Molly? Emily?

Emily: Oh my god, you know how much I wanted to see you?

Zoe: Yeah, I study in this school and I'm with my friends who are in the choir.

Molly: Oh, I thought you were in the theater club.

Blake: Yeah, but she's with us.

Jenny came into the auditorium, running.

Jenny: Sorry, I'm late, the mean girls got me again.

Reece: Please not Annika, Yuka, Hazel, Melanie, Emma, Geri and Victoria.

Jenny: It is them, they destroyed the scripts I made the night before, luckily I have it saved in my drive so I have to print it again in the library.

Zoe: That's horrid, are you going to tell us who will get the roles?

Jenny: Oh right. (clears throat) Attention everyone!

Everyone payed attention to Jenny who is going to announce the roles.

Jenny: Alright, so I am going to announce the roles of each character. Moses will be Raphael James Lau, God will be Yuto Hugo Yoshida, Rameses II will be Ankit James Mishera, Tzipporah will be Molly Danyi Chen, Miriam will be Emily Bampton, Aaron will be Aidan Paul Harney, Jethro will be Thaiyo Peng Kido, Pharaoh Seti will be Oakley Matthew Clarke, Queen Tuya will be Alicia Sophia Carbone, Hotep will be Spencer Jason Stewart, Huy will be Poe Ryan Kim and Yocheved will be Sheryl Kate Lau. The choir lead by Reece Brown will be the Israelites and Kandace Emma Chan will be my co-director. Thank you for listening.

Zoe: Congrats guys, you got the role.

Alicia: Who will you play?

Zoe: The Israelites, I'm in the choir.

Jenny: Everyone in your places, the play starts now.

Just then, the mean girls came out and everyone is just being prepared for the play tonight.

Annika: Alright, why is there still trash in my auditorium.

Zoe: First of all, this is not your auditorium, second of all, why are you being the judge? The judge is the principal.

Annika: Because I am the real judge here, while you on the other hand are just some idiot I don't want to after you got the role as Matilda Wormwood.

Zoe: Oi! Shut up!

Then everything is frozen except for Reece, Blake, Troy, Brad and George.

Troy: What just happened?

Brad: Looks like Zoe stopped time, because she is in one of her moods again.

Zoe: Yeah, cuz Annika is being an idiot again.

Blake: Zoe, she is just a kid.

Zoe: Yeah, more like a bully rather than a 'kid.'

Reece: Are you telling me that we can stop time?

Zoe: Yup, we can get revenge on Annika.

Brad: Let's do it.

Zoe: But for now, we need to make everyone move.

Zoe clapped her hands and everything is moving again.

Kandace: What just happened? I remembered that you were yelling and then everything stopped.

Molly: Zoe, you alright?

Zoe: I'm fine, it's just that, Annika is bullying me.

Emily: That couldn't be possible, I thought everyone was nice here.

Zoe: Not everyone, not even Yuka, Hazel, Victoria, Melanie, Geri and Emma.

Molly: Sounds like Spice Girls.

Zoe: I don't like Spice Girls, only girly idiots like Spice Girls.

Molly: You're a girl, oh I get it, you have a lot of brothers and you're a tomboy.

Zoe: Exactly, the thing is, Annika and I didn't get along well, when I got the role as Matilda while she didn't, she started saying mean things to me back in Year 1. Then in Year 6, I beat her in Frisbee and then she hated me even more. That's why I became more harsh, I even hit Troy with a Frisbee by accident.

Troy: It's fine, you don't mean it.

Song: Love The Way You Lie Pt. 2 by Rihanna and Eminem

Zoe: #On the first page of our story #The future seemed so bright #Then this thing turned out so evil #I don’t know why I’m still surprised #Even angels have their wicked schemes #And you take that to new extremes #But you’ll always be my hero #Even though you’ve lost your mind #Just gonna stand there and watch me burn #But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts #Just gonna stand there and hear me cry #But that’s all right because I love the way you lie #I love the way you lie #Ohhh, I love the way you lie #Now there’s gravel in our voices #Glass is shattered from the fight #In this tug of war, you’ll always win #Even when I’m right #‘Cause you feed me fables from your head #The violent words and empty threats #And it’s sick that all these battles #Are what keeps me satisfied #Just gonna stand there and watch me burn #But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts #Just gonna stand there and hear me cry #But that’s all right because I love the way you lie #I love the way you lie #Ohhh, I love the way you lie #So maybe I’m a masochist #I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave #'Till the walls are going up #In smoke with all our memories

Blake: #It's morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face #Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction #Hush mei mei, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry #That you pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me #Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me #Run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy #Zoe, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me #Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me #Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the #Destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we #Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs #That we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky #Together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills #You hit me twice, yeah, but who’s counting? #I may have hit you three times, I’m starting to lose count #But together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain #Our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counseling #This house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand #Square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it #'Cause with you I’m in my mind, without you, I’m out it#

Zoe: #Just gonna stand there and watch me burn #But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts #Just gonna stand there and hear me cry #But that’s all right because I love the way you lie #I love the way you lie #I love the way you lie #I love the way you lie #I love the way you lie #I love the way you lie#

Molly: Wow.

Reece: That's why I recruited her, she is amazing, even if she's an alto.

Zoe: Reece, are you going to recruit more kids next year?

Reece: Maybe, nowadays only 1 kid from the juniors section has joined the choir. That's you and George. Some joined Jenny while the rest think they have no talent and just laze around.

Emily: What about the orchestra, are there any juniors joining?

Reece: No, only freshmen and seniors joined.

Jenny: Alright, I want everyone in their positions, the choir goes at the back.

The entire choir went at the back while Reece stands next to Samuel to conduct the choir. Samuel conducts the orchestra.

Jenny: Okay, the first is the beginning of the play, that means the choir has an important role in it.

Reece: So they have to cover all of it?

Jenny: No, only the part when the slaves and guards sing, Yocheved's part will be sung by Sheryl and Miriam's part will be sung by Emily.

Kandace: Oi! Good luck, I want you lot to do the best you can.

Zoe: Thanks.

That's when an announcement came that the play should be postponed again. It left the choir, theater and orchestra kids confused.

Yuto: The play is cancelled?

Thaiyo: No mate, postponed.

Zoe: Pretty sure it is Annika's plan to postpone it just because it's rubbish. She thinks it's rubbish but it is actually nice to watch a musical based on the bible. Anyways, we need to find out who the heck hijacked the school schedule.

Reece: I think we have to take a good look at the hallways, that's where the schedule is. C'mon.

Jenny: Reece, are you taking all of us?

Reece: No, just the soloists of my choir, Blake, Troy, Brad, George and Zoe. C'mon guys.

The main protagonists went out of the auditorium and into the hallways. They saw a bulletin board but were caught by one of the mean girls.

Victoria: Oi you! Back off from the bulletin board, we are going to alter the schedule.

Zoe clapped her hands again and everything but her very close friends freezes again.

Song: Quiet from Matilda the Musical

Zoe: #Have you ever wondered #Well I have #About how when I say, say, red #For example there's no way of knowing if red #Means the same thing in your head #As red means in my head when someone says red #And how if we are traveling at #Almost the speed of light #And we're holding a light #That light would still travel away from us #At the full speed of light #Which seems right in a way #What I'm trying to say #I'm not sure #But I wonder if inside my head #I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends #These answers that come into my mind unbidden #These stories delivered to me fully written #And when everyone shouts they seem to like shouting #The noise in my head is incredibly loud #And I just wish they'd stop #Annika or Yuka #And the rants and insults would stop for just once #And I'm sorry #I'm not quite explaining it right #But this noise becomes anger and the anger is light #And the burning inside me would usually fade #But it isn't today! #And the heat and the shouting #And my heart is pounding #And my eyes are burning #And suddenly everything, everything is... #Quiet #Like silence, but not really silent #Just that still sort of quiet #Like the sound of a page being turned in a book #Or a pause in a walk in the woods #Quiet #Like silence, but not really silent #Just that nice kind of quiet #Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed #Just the sound of your heart in your head #And though the people around me #Their mouths are still moving #The words they are forming #Cannot reach me anymore! #And it is quiet #And I am warm #Like I've sailed #Into the eye of the storm#

George: Zoe, I got the altered schedule printed out by the mean girls, let's compare it to the one in the bulletin board.

George put up the altered schedule and compared it with the official school schedule.

George: It's not just the musical being moved to next 2 months, May, the best activities happening will be happening next moth like sports day, talent show, our school trip to Singapore.

Reece: Who would like to alter the schedule?

Zoe: We've got to tell Ms. Jackson about this, George, bring the altered schedule and the normal schedule will you?

George brought both schedules as the 6 went to Ms. Jackson's office. Once they got there, Zoe claps her hands and everyone can move again.

Brad: Ms. Jackson, we have something to report to you. Please explain the schedules.

Ms. Jackson: Can I see?

Ms. Jackson looked at the schedules.

Blake: If you want proof that it is fake, did you write the altered one?

Ms. Jackson: No, not at all, I was just here booking the entire class to go to Singapore this April. We were originally going to Hong Kong but because the outbreak, we changed the location to Singapore. I believe that the altered version is from the mean girls, they just want to remove the fun from everyone. I will tell everyone that the new schedule was fake while you guys put the real schedule in the bulletin board in the hallways.

Reece: Thank you Ms. Jackson.

Zoe clapped her hands and everyone but her friends are frozen. The protagonists put up the actual schedule and threw the altered one in the bin.Then Zoe clapped her hands and everything is moving again. They were about to go back to the auditorium when the mean girls saw them again.

Victoria: So, did you or did not throw the schedule?

Brad: We threw the one you made and the actual one is back in the bulletin board.

Zoe: We don't want any of your stupidity when we are doing this play.

Zoe was so mad she threw the mean girls off the side.

Zoe: Mess with us, or you're done for.

Terrified, the mean girls ran away while the main 6 were happy.

Blake: Let's head back to the auditorium shall we?

Zoe: Yeah.

Everyone: Laughs.
