"I Want to Break Free"

SCENE 1: ARMSTRONG HOME. MORNING

Ivy is going through her closet, pulling out different outfits, going to the mirror and checking to see which on looks good on her. Chloe walks past the door, slowly walks back, and stands there watching and laughing silently.

Chloe:

No one will ever go for a niner like you. It took me almost a whole year before I became Degrassi's queen bee.

Ivy:

Why are you always so mean to me?

Chloe rolls her eyes as she leaves the doorway. Ivy looks at herself in the mirror trying to see if her outfit would look good. She is thinking about her sister's words as she leaves the room.

SCENE 2: INT. CLASSROOM. MORNING

The bell rings and students are clearing their desk and leaving the classroom. Emma is passing back papers as they leave out the class. Kristin is the last one and she makes her way to the door.

Emma:

Hey Kristin. You made a very good mark on this assignment.

Emma hands her back a graded paper with an A on it.

Kristin:

Thank you I worked really hard on this.

Emma:

As you know, the student council elections are coming up and I think you should run. It would be a good look for universities applications.

Kristin smiles as she exit out the classroom.

OPENING CREDITS

SCENE 3: INT. HALLWAYS . MORNING

Ivy and Levi are walking through the halls talking and smiling.

Levi:

One day we will have boyfriends. You cannot let her get to you Ive.

Ivy:

I am tired of everyone looking at me as Chloe's grade 9 little sister. I want to be my own person.

A student walks pass and hands them a flyer about Student Council nominations.

Ivy:

This is it Levi. I can run for Student Council president and no one will see me as the little sister anymore.

Levi:

Maybe you can be a Grade 9 representive instead of President. There hasn't been a Grade 9 president since…Ashley Kerwin. Listen I'm not saying you cannot I just thinking about your feelings.

Ivy:

I thought you were my friend, but I guess I was wrong for believing that.

Ivy storms off upset leaving Levi by herself in the halls.

SCENE 4: 'S APARTMENT. AFTERNOON

Jordan enters his home and takes off his shoes. His mother is on an important phone call, because she is pacing as if she is frustrated. Jordan goes into his room, places a headset on, and turns on his video console. He begins to play a game with destruction and fantasy elements.

Female Gamer:

Is that you Jordy630

Jordan:

Yeah. Sorry I'm a little late than usual. I had school as usual.

Female Gamer:

I missed you Jordy and so have our Kingdom of Lonzia.

Jordan:

I missed you too. I never connected with someone like you.

Jordan's mothers burst into his room still on the phone. Jordan takes off his headset as he became agitated.

:

Jordan I ordered dinner. I have to go back to the office so I will be home after.

Jordan:

Whatever you say mother.

She left the room and closed the door behind her. Jordan returned to his game.

Female Gamer:

Who was that? Your girlfriend?

Jordan:

That was my mother. Seems like she is more of a roommate then a mother.

Female Gamer:

You should let me take care of you Jordy.

Jordan:

I would like that more than anything GamerGirl147.

SCENE 5: CAFETERIA. AFTERNOON

Students are gathering around Ivy as she passes out flyers and buttons promoting her campaign. Levi comes through the crowd and joins her.

Ivy:

I thought you didn't believe in me?

Levi:

Of course, I believe in you Ivy. You are my best friend. I just don't want your feelings to be hurt incase things did not turn out how you want them to be.

Ivy:

Well I'm running unopposed so I think I have this in the bag.

In another area of the cafeteria, Kristin is watching the events taking place as she reads. Emma walks over to her and gently taps her.

Emma:

I thought you were going to run.

Kristin:

I thought about it and I just don't like the responsibly. Plus, no one would vote for me.

Lewis and Adrian snicker in the background.

Lewis:

Yeah. The niner probably funnier then you.

Kristin

(turning around to the boys)

You know what I will run and I will win.

Emma smiles as she and Kristin rises from the table and walks towards the other students.

Emma:

Principal Houston I have another candidate for council president.

Kristin:

I would like to run for student council sir.

Principal Houston:

Great! I will announce it now.

He walks in front of the crowd and grabs the microphone. He taps it a few times to get the attention of the students.

Principal Houston:

I would like to announce another candidate for your student council president, Ms. Kristin Everett.

Ivy turns around in shock to see someone running against her. Kristin waves and smiles as she takes the stage.

Principal Houston:

The speeches and debate will be held tomorrow during homeroom.

SCENE 6: EXT. THE DOT. AFTERNOON

Jack and Jordan are walking along the sidewalk approaching the Dot. Jack looks over his shoulder and notices an older man in his late to mid-forties hiding in the distance.

Jack:

Hey, have you notice that we been being followed since we left the school?

Jordan:

We can't assume he's following us. Maybe he's just heading in our direction.

Jordan and Jack look over their shoulders once more and notice the man is just standing there. They become uneasy and continues to walk towards the Dot increasing their speed. The man begins to walk again also increasing his speed trying to keep up.

They cut behind the Dot but reaches a dead end. The man turns the corner with his hands up as a way of showing them he means no harm. He eases towards them with a smile.

Man:

It's me Jordy. Remember you said you wanted me to come take care of you, so I came to take you away.

Jordan:

I don't know who you are. I think you should leave before we call the police.

Man:

It's me Gamergirl147.

Jack:

You're not a girl.

Spinner bust out of the Dot and grabs the man, pinning him against the wall. He punches him and the man falls to the ground.

Spinner:

You're one sick man you know that. Jordan go inside and call the cops. Jack go with him.

Moments later the cops arrive. The man is seen being placed in the police car as Jordan is seen talking to another officer. Jordan and Spinner stands in the background patiently waiting. Ms. Singleton quickly sprints and hug Jordan, kisses him, and examines him to make sure he is okay.

Ms. Singleton:

I'm his mother. Can someone please tell me why I was called from work about a child molester?

SCENE 7: 'S APARTMENT. EVENING

Jordan and his mother walks into their apartment. Jordan is about to head to his room.

Ms. Singleton:

No more videogames!

Jordan:

That's not fair!

:

What's not fair is that you had a predator following you. I do not want to see you playing videogames anymore.

Jordan:

It's not like you care! You are never here. You never want to spend time with me. I'm invisible to you, if it's not work then you don't care.

:

Of course, I care Jordan. You're my son.

She consoles her son as a tear falls from her eyes.
