Going To School With My Cousin (Transcript)

It is already the next day and Josh remains in the intensive care ward. Zoe and Hayden both went to school which caused various students to the glare at them. Zoe felt embarrassed while Hayden just went with the flow and ignored them like what Josh would do.

Hayden: Zoe, you alright?

Zoe: How am I alright? Josh is in the hospital and people are glaring at us because Josh and I would usually walk to school together. Not you and me.

Hayden: Woah, calm down. You're becoming wild.

Zoe: That's how I'm always am.

Hayden: That's not good. You have to learn how to go with the flow. Josh always does that.

The 2 cousins finally reached the building when they bumped into Tess.

Tess: Oh, hey Zoe.

Zoe: Hey Tess, it has been a month, hasn't it?

Tess: Yup. Who's that? Your brother?

Hayden: Cousin. I'm Hayden and I'm from Sydney.

Zoe: Great, now that you get to know each other why don't Tess show you to your classroom?

Tess: Why me? Hayden, what Year are you in?

Hayden: Year 10, I'm 15.

Tess: Oh, okay.

Hayden: Zoe, are you sure you can go to your classroom all by yourself?

Zoe: I'm okay with that.

Hayden: Okay.

Zoe walked to her classroom all by herself where she sat next to Kandace. As usual.

Zoe: G'day Kandace.

Kandace: Hey Zoe. You alright? How's it going?

Zoe: My brother's in the hospital.

Kandace: What?! I thought he just caught a normal flu bug.

Zoe: Well, he caught a bug which made him grow really sick.

Kandace: Well that was rough. Say, who was that guy you were walking with earlier?

Zoe: That's my cousin, Hayden. He's in Year 10.

Kandace: Year 10?

Zoe: Yes and he's from the other side of the country. He's from New South Wales.

Kandace: Cool. I want to sit next to him at lunch.

Zoe: You can. I'll allow it and he could sign up to the programming club later.

Kandace: Okay.

As time went by, it is lunch time. Zoe met up with her friends at their usual table and allowed Hayden to join in.

Zoe: Hayden, come join us.

Hayden: Okay.

Zoe: Everyone, this is my cousin, Hayden.

Tess: He's in the same class as mine.

Sofia: Of course, you're in Year 10 aren't you?

Tess: I am.

Zoe: So where's Kayla?

Hayden: Who's Kayla?

Naomi: The girl over there. She lies about every single bit of our problems.

Zoe: Such as her death from a heart attack, her being pregnant and her in the hospital from losing a lot of blood from self-harm and overdose..

Hayden: Overdose? That's messed up. But why would you guys hate her just for being a liar?

Tess: Well, she plays with a lot of people from this school with her lies. She's faking that she has everyone's problems too.

Hayden: Welp, that's so messed up. I want to help you guys expose her.

Zoe: We already exposed her. If we want to expose her even further then we have to wait for Josh because he's still in the hospital. We can't do this without him.

Hayden: Okay.

Everyone ate in silence when Kandace started gazing at Hayden. She couldn't concentrate on her food.

Zoe: Alright, I'm done.

Sofia: Me too.

Zoe: Erm... is okay for you and Hayden to be by yourselves.

Kandace: Erm... yes.

Zoe: Okay, let's go guys.

Zoe and her friends left the table leaving Hayden with Kandace. After the 2 ate, they walked towards the school garden to hang out.

Kandace: Erm... you know how much I like you.

Hayden: Well, I like you too.

Kandace: You mean it?

Hayden: Yup.

Song: Rewrite the Stars from The Greatest Showman

Hayden: #You know I want you #It's not a secret I try to hide #I know you want me #So don't keep saying our hands are tied #You claim it's not in the cards #And fate is pulling you miles away #And out of reach from me #But you're here in my heart #So who can stop me if I decide #That you're my destiny? #What if we rewrite the stars? #Say you were made to be mine #Nothing could keep us apart #You'd be the one I was meant to find #It's up to you, and it's up to me #No one can say what we get to be #So why don't we rewrite the stars? #Maybe the world could be ours #Tonight#

Kandace: #You think it's easy #You think I don't want to run to you #But there are mountains #And there are doors that we can't walk through #I know you're wondering why #Because we're able to be #Just you and me #Within these walls #But when we go outside #You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all #No one can rewrite the stars #How can you say you'll be mine? #Everything keeps us apart #And I'm not the one you were meant to find #It's not up to you, it's not up to me #When everyone tells us what we can be #How can we rewrite the stars? #Say that the world can be ours #Tonight#

Both: #All I want is to fly with you #All I want is to fall with you #So just give me all of you#

Kandace: #It feels impossible#

Hayden: #It's not impossible#

Kandace: #Is it impossible?#

Both: #Say that it's possible #How do we rewrite the stars? #Say you were made to be mine? #Nothing can keep us apart #Cause you are the one I was meant to find #It's up to you, and it's up to me #No one can say what we get to be #And why don't we rewrite the stars? #Changing the world to be ours#

Kandace: #You know I want you #It's not a secret I try to hide #But I can't have you #We're bound to break and #My hands are tied#

Hayden: Kandace, will you be my girlfriend?

Kandace: Really? Yes.

Later, it is time for extracurricular activities and Hayden signed up for the programming room. He caught Zoe programming an android while the other girls are catching up on some homework.

Hayden: Hey guys.

Zoe: Hey Hayden.

Hayden: What are you guys up to?

Kandace: We're working on some codes for Zoe's new android.

Zoe: I'm trying to type them on the computer.

Sofia: I got more codes.

Zoe: Thanks Sofi.

Hayden: Zoe really is good at coding.

Zoe: Well, it's mainly Josh and I controlling the codes but because Josh is sick I have to takeover.

Hayden: Can I takeover.

Zoe: Sure.

Hayden helped Zoe code down all of the things Zoe's friends wrote down.

Hayden: So what kind of things do you need on an android?

Zoe: They will have good memory and is good at journalling. They will have pink hair styled in a bob, blue eyes and light skin with a bit of freckles.

Hayden: I thought you hate pink.

Zoe: I know but Naomi suggested it.

Hayden: So why did you decide on blue eyes?

Zoe: Josh's hair is blue. The freckles are also based on Josh cuz he also has freckles.

Hayden: That's cool.

Zoe: They're going to look great.

Hayden: Hold up, why 'they?'

Zoe: The robot's non-binary.

Hayden: Okay.

Zoe: Let's finish this tomorrow, it's time to go anyways.
