SCENE I

INT. SCHOOL LOBBY – LATER

Halley and Sage carefully carry Halley's flattened box inside.

HALLEY

Thank you so much for your help, Sage. Now, all we have to do is get it to class and put it back together. I can't believe we managed to avoid any tears.

SAGE

Look out!

Cheering P.E. students break through the box like a strip of tape, ripping it in half. Halley is devastated.

SAGE (CONT'D)

We'll just tape it back together. It'll be fine.

Trailing behind the group, Dru helps Wynter make it to the end.

WYNTER

Cramp!

She stumbles into Halley, clutches onto her project for balance and falls to the floor, ripping it even more. Halley whimpers.
