The Start of it All (Transcript)

The series starts off with a 14-year-old girl and her 16-year-old brother walking to school happily chatting with each other. The 14-year-old girl started narrating.

Zoe: (narrating) So, you probably know who we are, right? You haven't have you? Well, let me introduce ourselves. My name is Zoe and I'm 14 almost 15. I'm a top student in Year 9 and I'm adopted from the Philippines. Which explains why I look different from my family. Are you wondering who was the older boy talking to me? Is he my boyfriend? You're wrong. This is my brother, Josh. He's 16 almost 17 and he's in Year 11. Although he wasn't the best in his studies, he is the best big brother you could ever ask for and we're pretty close. We get along really well. Not like our older sister, Addison, who is in Sydney to pursue her education. Josh is dyslexic, he would often misread, have spelling mistakes and sometimes, he can't even read. He often gets in trouble because of that. Anyways, we're both heading to our classes to start off the day.

Zoe headed to her classroom and sat next to her best friend, Kan.

Zoe: Hey Kan.

Kan: Hi Zoe. You alright?

Zoe: I'm good. (narrating) This is my best friend, Kan. She is half Chinese and she is an exchange student originally from England. We've been getting along since we were little girls. We are both top students, that's the main reason why we get along quite well.

Kan: So, are you signing up to any clubs?

Zoe: Not at the moment. But I'll look for some clubs to join cuz I need to make new friends. Mum and dad are concerned about Josh and I's social status because we don't have much friends. Ever since Ad left for uni.

Kan: You guys will find some friends someday.

As time went by, the day is just a regular day with not much events happening. After class, Zoe went to the bulletin board to sign up for some extra-curricular clubs. That's when Josh called her from a classroom.

Josh: Zoe.

Zoe: What's up?

Josh: I need to tell you something.

Zoe: Hold up, I need to sign up for some clubs.

Josh: Can you please join the programming club? You could learn how to hack, program or even make some games.

Zoe: Cool! I'm in.

Zoe signed herself up for the programming club and entered the programming club with her brother. Both of them started to talk to each other because Zoe was confused with Josh's behaviour.

Zoe: So, what's the catch?

Josh: Do you know this girl?

Zoe looked at her brother's iPod which shows an Instagram account. An account of a teenage girl, most likely in Josh's class.

Zoe: No.

Josh: Cuz I have to tell you about her.

Zoe: What is it?

Josh: So basically she faked a heart attack on me, 'died' and her 'mum' was messaging me when I thought she was dead. I wanted to make a post for her but then I never did cause I found out she faked it cause she posted on her private account and then went live. She also said to other kids in this school that I got her pregnant when I didn't know her.

Zoe: No way.

Josh: She also said that she has a huge crush on me and we’ve only talked like 3 times.

Zoe: How would you get her pregnant when we obviously live in Western Australia just not communicating with others like the fact we're both introverts while she lives in some other side of the place just making drama.

Josh: She's from the other side of the country.

Zoe: Like we live in Western Australia and she is from either Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria or Tasmania.

Josh: She's from Queensland, she recently moved here.

Zoe: Okay.

Josh: And like I woke up one day to a message from someone saying congrats for the baby and stuff. Like what?

Zoe: Bruh, how can she say she got pregnant with you guys barely even met. This isn't true, she's creating fake news.

Josh: I so want to message the class group chat where she is and be like 'congrats for the baby.' Who's that dad?

Zoe: Maybe someone who probably raped her since it can’t be possibly you. Plus, teen pregnancy shouldn't be a joke.

Josh: I know.

That's when an Armenian-Australian girl from Year 10 came to the programming room. She must've signed up for the programming club as well.

Syuz: Look who's here.

Josh: Hey Syuz.

Syuz: Josh, who's this? You said you're not dating anyone ever since the Kayla incident.

Zoe: What?

Josh: Oh, this isn't my girlfriend. This is my little sister, Zoe.

Zoe: Hi.

Syuz: Hi. She's you're little sister? But she doesn't look like you, she just has the same hair and eye colour. Also the same hair texture. But your faces look different, Zoe has a tan and wears glasses while you have freckles.

Josh: She's adopted from the Philippines.

Syuz: Oh, I see.

Zoe: I'm also the top student in Year 9 but my parents are concerned about my social status so that's why I have to sign up to an extra-curricular.

Josh: Same.

Syuz: Well, I joined for the same reason.

Josh: Welcome to the club.

After a talk between Syuz and the siblings, it is already time to go home. Zoe and Josh happily walked home from school, grateful for making a new friend in the programming club. Bit the 2 still thought about Kayla.

Zoe: Josh, about Kayla.

Josh: I know. I wonder who was the father of Kayla's baby.

Zoe: Probably not you, maybe a rapist.

Josh: Maybe like that.

The siblings finally reached home in the outer suburbs of Perth. Their school is just nearby so they could just walk from home to school. They both entered their house where they are greeted by their mum.

Mrs. Besson: Hi Zoe, hi Josh.

Zoe and Josh: Hi mum.

Mrs. Besson: How's your day?

Zoe: We both finally got an extra-curricular.

Mrs. Besson: Really? That's good.

Josh: You don't have to be concerned about our social status anymore. Zoe, let's head to our room.

Zoe followed her brother upstairs to their shared room.
