World Academy W (some time ago)
Hallway with many students. We see a hand taking with a blackboard sponge, dipping it into a bucket filled with a glowing green substance. The frame moves and we see it is Alfred holding the sponge while Arthur is holding the bucket with the substance. Francis is beside him too. The group of brothers is part of the crowd, still standing close to one another, refusing to mingle too much with the others.
On the other side is Yasna whose hands are held by Časlov and Enis while the little black boy is holding her leg tight. Judging by her clothes, Alfred has already thrown a few sponges with the liquid at her. This one hits her chin and neck. She stands clenching her teeth, shaking silently. "What's the matter, cat got your tongue?" Alfred says jokingly continuing to throw sponges at her. He gets careless here and there, accidentally dirtying Enis' clothes but the little boy gets it worse because all of the substance slides onto him.
Yasna withstands all of this waiting for him to finish, but he doesn't. He keeps throwing the sponges one by one as if he bought them by the bulk. After a few more hits, she thinks to herself: "So, this is my life now. This is all I can hope for." She looks up at her attacker and sees his calm and unrepenting face. She starts laughing slowly bursting into a maniacal laugh. A few more glowing sponges hit her. She doesn't stop. Her whole body shakes from laughter. The students are disturbed by her. Enis and Časlov let go afraid. The little boy still holds on tight.
Alfred stops confused. The cool kids exchange glances. Yasna keeps laughing hysterically. After a few minutes she catches her breath and says with a crazy look in her eyes: "So you think torturing people is fun, huh? Does it make you feel good? You think you must seem so cool, with your attitude and your entourage... How pathetic!"
Alfred's mouth opens from shock. All of the students look at her bewildered.
"So what! You're in charge for like a hot minute and you already think you can smear your b*lls*cks on whoever you find disagreeable" she says mimicking the smearing action.
This makes Alfred angry and he throws another sponge, harder this time. Yasna doesn't even flinch. She uses the goo and makes a target sign on her shirt with her fingers. "Go ahead, show everyone what a big strong man you are destroying a weak and defenceless schoolmate. What's the hold up?!" she screams spreading her arms. Alfred starts throwing harder and harder allowing some of the substance to hit other students.
Next scene: School counsellor enters the principal's office serious. "Is something the matter?" he asks calmly. "I believe there is something you need to see" she states.
They walk down the hallway and see the spectacle. All of the students have backed off in order not to get hit so the two are easily visible. Alfred is still throwing the sponges as Yasna dances and sings. "That's enough!" is heard which startles Alfred. They both stop and see the principal's enraged face. The school counsellor is standing next to him with a neutral expression.
"What is the meaning of this Mr. Jones?" the principal stares at him. "I..I was..." the student stutters still holding a soaking sponge. The principal points to the school floor which is completely green by this point. So are the lockers. "Clean this up. Now!" he yells never looking more serious. He tells the other students to go home. Once alone, Alfred is given a mop and Yasna is taken to the school showers by the counsellor. Yasna is very tired by this point and visibly bruised. She tries to clean herself but the substance is so strong, regular soap cannot take it off. The school counsellor calls the chemistry teacher to mix up a concussion that helps but also burns the girl's skin.
"I have to say Ms. Petrović, I am impressed with the way you solved your problem. Who would have thought that such a suicidal performance would work" the counsellor says smiling waiting for her to finish. In the closed shower, we see Yasna making a clearly confused face. Afterwards, she gets into her gym clothes and puts her uniform into a trash bag.
Next scene: Finally clean, Yasna walks through that same corridor seeing Alfred still trying to remove the substance with a mop. "Harder Ms. Jones. I want this cleaned in it's entirety by tomorrow morning" the principal says. The girl looks away terrified. The counsellor gently grabs her by the shoulder and takes her home in her car. Driving, the counsellor looks at Yasna who has her head bowed. "I talked with the principal and he agreed that you can take some time off. You can return when you are ready."
The girl looks at her. She sighs relieved and smiles. "Still, I would like to give you some homework. Once you return, you need to work on being accepted by the students again. They will look at you funny after your little melt down" the counsellor says. Passing a few stores, she says: "See this tiny library? There you will find some great old books on socialising. I recommend you read them."
Yasna looks at it and nods. "Thank you" she says grateful.
"No need to thank me Ms. Petrović. It's my job after all" the counsellor says stopping the car at Yasna's house. The student walks out and waves goodbye. The counsellor drives away worried.
Next scene: Yasna's mother is watching the news extremely anxious. A footage of buildings being bombed is seen. As Yasna walks in, she immediately jumps up and hugs her. "Sweety, where were you? I was worried sick" she says tearing up.
"It's okay mom" she says finally calm. "Good news...I'll be home for a while to help you with the chores."
Her mom smiles relieved. They hug like that as the news report continues to show the devastating affects of the bombing.
