Continuing Forward (Transcript)

Zoe, Josh, Hayden and their friends are continuing their really long meeting.

Annah: Then you don't have anxiety, Kayla.

Kayla: Well, I do overthink though. I do have anxiety. Wish my mum could tell you later after the extra-curricular lessons.

Zoe: But you’ll impersonate your mum, Lila.

Sofia: What are your symptoms then?

Kayla: I get very anxious around lots of people.

Zoe: That’s claustrophobia, not anxiety.

Annah: Kayla I think everyone here is tired if your lies. And you lying about everything. Some people go through a lot of things and to have you lying.

Zoe: Yeah.

Annah: About these things, I'm tired of the lies. Some of us have Anxiety.

Zoe: You can’t just go around lying about our problems.

Annah: You lie to try to make people feel sorry for you. Well news flash no one puts up with lies.

Josh: Don't forget my real depression and anxiety.

Zoe: Yeah same, we have gone through these things before Addison went to Sydney.

Annah: I bet you don't even feel sorry for the people in Downtown Nashville in Tennessee.

Josh: My friend lives in Nashville.

Kayla: URGHHHH I DO HAVE REAL ANXIETY, AHHH!!!

Zoe: No you don't. My brother, girlfriend and I have anxiety and we're coping with it right now.

Kayla: Yes I do. Ahhhhh!!!

Annah: There was a bomb that happened in Nashville Tennessee today. And my relatives live 30 minutes away from there. I could have died and you wouldn't have cared.

Zoe: Do you even feel bad for the indigenous people from Australia and the US? Do you even feel bad about POC students getting excluded?

Annah: Do you even take pills if you have "Anxiety," Kayla? Are you diagnosed by a doctor that you have "Anxiety?"

Zoe: She probably ‘overdosed.'

Josh: What does POC mean?

Zoe: Person of colour.

Josh: Oh.

Zoe: I'm Asian so I'm POC.

Kayla: Yes but I do take medication for my anxiety. I'll take a picture to show you when I get home after extra-curricular classes.

Josh: Wait Zoe and I weren't diagnosed by a doctor technically. But mum knows.

Annah: What about a nurse?

Kayla: Well I was that's a fact. I was diagnosed by a doctor.

Zoe: But do your mum and dad know?

Kayla: Yes my mum and dad knows.

Annah: What color is the pill you take for your "Anxiety?"

Kayla: White.

Hayden: Wait, there's no such thing as a white pill for anxiety.

Annah: Liar there is no pill that is the color white for anxiety.

Hayden: That's what I said.

Kayla: Yes there is.

Zoe: If there is then what is it?

Annah: What the name of the pill then?

Kayla: It's called Zactin.

Josh: Isn't Zactin for depression and OCD?

Zoe: Yeah.

Hayden: Zoe, tell her.

Zoe: That’s for depression, OCD and PMDD not anxiety.

Annah: Zactin is used for depression.

Zoe: I already said that. Along with OCD and PMDD.

Annah: Yup.

Kayla: Oh.

Zoe: Not for anxiety. Just ask someone who actually has anxiety.

Kayla: Well mine said it's for anxiety and depression.

Josh: So that was a lie.

Annah: Kayla how about you stop lying about things that you say you have? Without even knowing.

Zoe: Yeah.

Kayla: I didn't lie.

Zoe: You see, people here have actually gone through stuff and you pretended that you have them.

Annah: Like for real, people are tired of your lies.

Sofia: Kayla you're not getting anywhere with this.

Kayla: No I'm not lying, urgh.

Annah: I have anxiety and ADHD and I know what it's like, Kayla.

Josh: Okay, are you all finished?

Zoe: Yeah, I'm tired and stressed for absolutely no reason.

All of the kids left the programming room and it is now time to go home. They must've missed the entire class.

Zoe: Wow, we've spent all day inside?

Sofia: Guess we skipped classes.

Josh: At least our teachers understand because we're interrogating Kayla because of her lies.

Hayden: Wait, they know?

Josh: Tess and I told them as Tess took cover for us.

Annah: That's cool, she's in my class.

Tess: Hey guys.

Tess ran up to her group of friends even though only Zoe, Josh, Annah, Sofia and Hayden are there. The rest are probably in class and then went home.

Zoe: Hey Tess.

Tess: I took cover for you guys saying that you might take all day in the programming room coding and creating a robot.

Sofia: Well, that's something interesting for those part of the programming club. Hey, I gotta go now, my parents might be upset.

Annah: I gotta get going too.

Zoe: Okay, bye.

Sofia and Annah left the school building leaving the siblings, their cousin and Tess.

Josh: Hey, we have to get going too.

Hayden: See you tomorrow, Tess.

Josh, Hayden and Zoe walked out of the school building heading home. That's when Hayden started talking about everything he recorded.

Hayden: I really hate listening to this conversation.

Josh: Why?

Hayden: All of Kayla's fake things, I can't believe I'm listening to them with my own ears.

Zoe: Yeah, can't believe I have to drive other people to do this.

Josh: Zoe, you're actually doing the right thing.

Song: Amnesia by 5 Seconds of Summer

Josh: #I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted #I thought about our last kiss, how it felt, the way you tasted #And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine #Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he’s right beside you? #When he says those words that hurt you #Do you read the ones I wrote you?#

Zoe: #Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie? #If what we had was real, how could you be fine? #'Cause I'm not fine at all#

Hayden: #I remember the day you told me you were leaving #I remember the makeup running down your face #And the dreams you left behind, you didn't need them #Like every single wish we ever made #I wish that I could wake up with amnesia #And forget about the stupid little things #Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you #And the memories I never can escape #'Cause I'm not fine at all#

Josh: #The pictures that you sent me, they're still living in my phone #I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone #And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around #It hurts to know you’re happy, yeah, it hurts that you moved on #It’s hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long#

Zoe: #It’s like we never happened, was it just a lie? #If what we had was real, how could you be fine? #'Cause I'm not fine at all#

All: #I remember the day you told me you were leaving #I remember the makeup running down your face #And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them #Like every single wish we ever made #I wish that I could wake up with amnesia #And forget about the stupid little things #Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you #And the memories I never can escape#

Hayden: #If today I woke up with you right beside me #Like all of this was just some twisted dream #I'd hold you closer than I ever did before #And you'd never slip away #And you'd never hear me say#

All: #I remember the day you told me you were leaving #I remember the makeup running down your face #And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them #Like every single wish we ever made #I wish that I could wake up with amnesia #And forget about the stupid little things #Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you #And the memories I never can escape#

Hayden: #'Cause I'm not fine at all #No, I'm really not fine at all #Tell me this is just a dream #'Cause I'm really not fine at all#

Zoe: Let's head home and like pretend this didn't happen.

Josh: Yeah.

Hayden: You're right.
