The Murder Mystery (Transcript)

Jamie: (narrates) I dunno what to say, are my so-called new friends judging me? I dunno. Until I felt a hug from Alex.

Alex hugged Jamie as he blushed. Jamie hugged him back. The other friends hugged him.

Pat: Why must you think we would judge you?

Jamie: Wait, how can you?

Pat: I have empathy.

Robin: Well, I just have telepathy. I know how you feel, Jamie.

Alex: You feeling good now?

Jamie: Yeah. Who else has powers?

Alex: Me, I can levitate, Kris can time travel and Ashley has telekinesis.

Ashley: Oh, what if he moves in with us? That would be great.

Alex: Oh yeah, we can hang out anytime if you like.

Jamie: Well, that'd be too much.

Pat: Kris, what do you say?

Kris: Actually, we insist you'd stay with us. Alex can be your roommate.

Jamie: Thank you guys.

Alex: No problem, take me to your dorm and I will help you pack up.

Jamie: (narrating) Is he really helping me because he likes me? What's going on?

Alex and Jamie grabbed their things and walked through the halls awkwardly looking at each other. It wasn't until they were stopped by a bully who started attacking and punching Jamie. Alex immediately helped Jamie.

Alex: Jamie! Oi! What the fuck was all that about? Who the fuck do you think you are?

Nathan: You think you have no fucking clue? You need to handle your boyfriend correctly, it's no wonder why he's always week. And plus, he shouldn't be after your money.

Jamie: What?

Alex: Why'd you say that? Why the fuck did you say that?

Nathan: It's not my fault he's Jewish and gay.

Alex: What? You better not lay a hand on Jamie or else.

Nathan: Okay fine,

Nathan left as Jamie ended up having a scratch on his forehead. Alex helped him stand up and tried to talk to him.

Alex: Who's that?

Jamie: Nathan, he has been treating me like shit ever since I first came here a few years ago.

Alex: I'm so sorry to hear that.

Jamie: It's okay, I've been bullied most of my life. Mostly the reason why I've been suffering from depression and anxiety.

Alex: That's never okay.

Jamie: But I've been alone my entire life. The only friend I had was Jayden.

Alex: What about we go to your dorms and later, we solve this mystery.

Jamie: Okay.

Alex and Jamie arrived at the dorms where Jamie lives. It's small and Jamie's room is messy, filled with books and medication. Jamie didn't fix his bed and Alex noticed that Jamie isn't much of a tidy person. The room also has an oxygen concentrator to deliver Jamie's oxygen when he's in his dorms. There's also an IV pole.

Alex: Woah, your room looks like a messy hospice.

Jamie: That's what it's like living with cystic fibrosis. I also stay here by myself.

Alex: Wow. Do you tidy up your room from time to time?

Jamie: Not really, I usually have no energy to do so because I wouldn't stop coughing. And I had to do all my treatments and stuff like that.

Alex: Let's tidy up your room and pack your stuff since you're moving in with us. I'll help out.

Jamie: Thanks.

Jamie and Alex tidied up Jamie's room and helped pack up before moving to the other dorms. Alex noticed a cabinet with nasal cannulas and portable oxygen tanks.

Alex: Jamie, do you really keep a collection of these stuff?

Jamie: It's not really a collection, it's the oxygen I need when I go around college. I just don't wear them anywhere outside my room because don't look good wearing them.

Alex: I'll pack them up. Do you mind if I carry your suitcase will all your treatments and stuff?

Jamie: Not at all.

After packing, Jamie and Alex set off for his new dorm. Once they arrived, Ashley, Robin, Pat and Kris welcomed them.

Jamie: (narrating) Wow, I haven't seen a dorm this big before. I also like how aesthetic this is, it gives me some sort of vibe.

Alex: What do you think?

Jamie: It looks smashing.

Robin: Welcome to your new home, Jamie. Follow me, I'll show you your new home.

Jamie followed Robin to his new room. It looks slightly similar to his old room but the difference is that it isn't that messy.

Jamie: Wow.

Robin: This actually used to be my friend's room. She also suffers from cystic fibrosis but she moved to Manchester recently. That's why I decided to give her room to you.

Jamie: But aren't cystic fibrosis patients not allowed to have the same room as another person with cystic fibrosis?

Robin: Actually, this room has been left untouched for a few weeks. So there won't be any germs. Oh and Ashley and I helped got rid of the dust before you came here.

Ashley: Yup.

Jamie: Thank you guys.

Alex: Oh and let me help you with that.

Alex helped Jamie unpack his stuff and set up Jamie's room. After that, it looks just like Jamie's room but more tidier because he got the help of Alex.

Robin: Looks nice there.

Jamie: Thanks.

Robin: Oh and if you want, you can put on your nasal cannula. Just only around us because we know how insecure you are when you're wearing it. We can talk about the murder mystery if you want.

Alex: Meet us in the common room.

After Alex and Robin left Jamie's new room, Jamie founded his nasal cannula but it's longer than his usual ones. It is designed for him to walk around the dorm area he shared with his friends. He inserted it into his oxygen concentrator and put it on as he nervously went out of his room and sat down on one of the couches.

Jamie: (narrating) What would everyone think of me now? I look totally ridiculous.

Alex: Hey Jamie.

Jamie: Oh erm... hi.

Alex: You look cool with that thing on.

Robin: Yeah, you remind me of my friend. Just a little bit.

Jamie: Thanks.

Ashley: It will take you some time for you to feel comfortable wearing it around people. Anyways, what is this murder mystery?

Jamie: (narrating) Great, now they want to talk about Jayden. What should I say?

Alex: Jamie? You alright there, mate?

Jamie: Oh erm... sorry. I just overthink all the time due to anxiety. Anyways, Jayden's death happened 8 years ago, I was just 10 years old and he was gone so soon.

Pat: I'm so sorry.
