Modern times – Current 2019
A peaceful morning in the Balkan neighborhood. Serbia has decided to take advantage of an exceptionally warm November day and have her morning coffee in the garden. She takes out a steaming cup, a bunch of newspapers and a pack of smokes and places it on the table.
"I don't care. You can't put that here" she hears from Bosnia's house.
"I haven't decided on anything yet. I'm just checking" she hears Croatia. There is some further commotion she looks over and sees them wrestling with a toxic waste barrel between them. "Well don't. You'll contaminate my part of the garden" BiH continues.
"What's going on?" Serbia asks confused standing near the fence.
The two stop wrestling and look at her. "He wants to put toxic waste near my fence" Bosnia says. "I told you that I'll be careful" Croatia says. "You said you haven't decided yet" Bosnia yells.
Serbia let's out air annoyed. She returns to her chair before noticing Kosovo* is kicking pebbles hitting the make-shift gate. "Hey, what are you doing?" she shouts. He replies by sticking out his tongue.
"That's it. Stop that! You're destroying my yard and don't even respect the boundaries you yourself made" she says strict walking closer. A pebble hits her in the leg. "Ouch, okay. You asked for it" she yells angry and grabs a branch with which she hits the fence across a few times.
The boy steps back. His mouth drops low. "Albania!" he yells turning to her place.
"What's going on?" Albania approaches her fence.
"This little monster is being a brat again" Serbia says pointing to him with a stick. Albania looks at him and says: "Honey, you have to calm down and play nice."
"Me!" he says in shock "What's wrong with you. Don't you know who my friends are?"
Both Serbia and Albania look at him disappointed. The boy's lower lip starts to quiver. "You'll see when I'm in full strength. You'll be sorry when I rain nuclear bombs on you" he yells angry at Serbia.
She calmly leans in with her hands cross: "Hey KiM, why don't you look around?" He does and sees all the neighbours observing him quietly. "Do you think you can threaten like that and get away with it? Trust me, my child, things have changed" she says serious.
Kosovo* smirks. He looks around with a frozen smile and sees the nations surrounding him are staring very annoyed.
"You don't scare me. Don't you get it. I can do whatever I want" he says spiteful.
"No you can't" another male voice says. It is Greece who saw everything. The others turn.
"You need to calm down boy. No one is amused by you any more" Greece says seeming stern. Kosovo* laughs as loud as he can and returns to his shack.
Serbia finally sits down and takes a sip of her now lukewarm coffee.
"Never a dull moment, ha Serbia?" Bulgaria calmly addresses her, also sitting in his garden chair close to his rose garden.
Serbia shrugs and sighs grabbing the first newspaper.
World Academy W
We see the school as the narrator speaks: "Another day at the prestigious World Academy. Let's see what these bright mind are up to now."
Next scene: In the hallway, we see the majority of students rioting completely ruining it. Francis is holding up a sigh, his tie is hanging loose, his shirt is tucked up in an untidy manner into his wrinkled pants, as he yells: "Strike, strike!"
Heracles, Arthur, Govert and some other European students are striking and refusing to go to class. Antonio is yelling and cursing himself.
Julio, Claudia, Corisande Mandalena, Camilia Rodrigey and some other South American students are chanting waving their flags. The Middle Eastern students are the worst kicking and screaming at anyone who passed them.
Wang Jia Long is still at it again, but is thankfully quieter. Bhart is acting up too.
Yasna passes with Alexia and Dafina. They all walk carefully observing the whole mess. "Wow things are really getting out of control" Dafina says.
"Yes, thank God, that this doesn't affect us" Dafina says with a tell-tale sweat drop on her temple. The two girls look away whistling.
"I'm going to class. Bye" Yasna says and walks into a quieter hallway.
Next scene: At the door of her Social Studies class, she sees Ivan whispering something to Marina Mizemehemmedova's ear to which she giggles and flirtatiously pushes him away. Yasna freezes waiting for a second while her face turns red.
The two notice her. "Oh, hi. Didn't see you there" he says calmly. Yasna smiles at Marina and compliments her long black hair. She replies in kind and the tension seems to disappear.
"Say, can I borrow Ivan for a second?" Yasna asks to which Marina nods and goes inside. The moment she's gone, Yasna turns towards him changing her expression from fine to downright furious.
"What's with the face? I though you weren't interested" Ivan says playing it cool. Yasna inhales through her nose and as she is about to say something the speakers are heard.
Next scene: In the main hall. The principle is announcing: "Attention all students!" He could barely be heard from all the noise. A loud sound of someone pulling their nails down a blackboard is heard. Everybody stops and covers their ears.
"Now that I have your attention. This destructive behavior has gone on long enough. I order you to stop destroying the school and go to classes."
"And if we won't?!" a student from the crowd screams.
The principle from the speaker replies: "Then I will have no choice but to lock all the exits and play a recording of the kindergardener's first philharmonic concert until you change your minds."
"You...you can't do that" someone stutters. There is silence. The speakers get turned on again and the sound of numerous screeching violins starts.
The students scream in horror and start tidying up and running to classrooms. The speakers are then turned off.
Sorry if some of the names of character's are not correct. There are various sources and I had to decide on one.
