York
Can I help you with anything?
H3rcul3s
Yes. The thing is that I’m doing this song with Caleb but he has a sore
throat. Would you be able to step in for him? Please?
York
Look H3rcul3s. I’m not the greatest singer in the world.

happen you wouldn’t be here.

Then why is Travis not my birth certificate?

It ended badly after I decided to give you up but not to him. My Parents

provide for you. We were too young as I said before.

that.

Why did you take money to date Priya?

is rich but me. I did what I had to do to survive on this degree course. Every
little detail was down to Cressida.

nature.

Police
Priya. About Mr Rafferty there is no evidence to charge him. He denied
it and if it did happen he attempted to kiss you not actually sexually
assaulting you.
Priya
What? You don’t believe me?
Police
I personally believe you but there is no evidence whatsoever. It’s only
your word against his.
Priya
I don’t care if Barack Obama looked me in the eye and told me it was not
assault. He sexually assaulted me.
Waqar
How can we bring him to justice?
Police
Don’t. It’s best that Priya stays away from Mr Rafferty.
Priya’s Mother
And he continues to teach?
Police
Please. Try not to see it like that.
Priya’s Mother
Well. Thanks for everything you have done.
Waqar
What about Malik and Cressida?
Police
Malik admitted it and Cressida denied it. Again there is no evidence.
Priya’s Mother
They all get away with it.
Police
The case is not closed. Priya if there is anything you feel helps this
investigation call me.
Waqar
Those two peers also continue at Artisque?
Police
I’m afraid so and it is up to the headteacher.
Priya’s Mother
Well. Thanks again.
The Police leave.
Waqar
I’m going to kill Mr Rafferty. Taking advantage of a teenager.
Priya’s Mother
Your Father was right all along Priya. You should not have chased your
dreams. Your dreams are just filled with people making it a nightmare. Darling
I think it is best you drop out of Artisque and go back to being a Doctor.
Priya
Mum. I can’t quit. I’m going to see this through. I will not let them
get one over me. You both taught me never to let evil win.
The doorbell rings.
Priya
I’ll get it.
Priya answers the door and it is Imran.
Priya
Imran.
Imran
How are you bearing up?
Priya
I’ll be just fine. You’re here with me.

Anywhere.

Priya you are one of if not the best student to ever grace this

alleged and due to the investigation still going by the Police I am opening my
doors to you once again to come back to Artisque and I will not transfer you.
You will not be having any lessons with Mr Rafferty and will not share a
classroom with Cressida. Due to Malik’s confession he has been expelled. I wish
you the best in all your studies and a bright future for whatever career path
you want to do.

good. But it just isn’t going anywhere. You know. I’m going to be honest. I’m
going out with Vanessa. I really like her and I don’t want to string you along
anymore. I don’t want to give you any false hope.

Don’t worry. I was going to dump you after the nightclub anyway. See you
around Otis.
Shareefa walks away and cries.

I had to. I couldn’t do that to her anymore.

You pussy. You kissed goodbye your career in drama for her. You fucking
idiot.
Malik
I have ethics and values. I don’t do that. That’s not me. I will scream
it out to the world what you made me do.
Cressida
Oh please Malik. Grow up. In this world you make things happen. What’s
it going to take to make you disappear? Lay low for a year and go to another
university.
Malik
No.
Cressida
Oh just take it and swallow your pride.
He takes it.
Next scene

Brody
You’ve got to move forward. It’s the final year showcase soon. I am so
nervous.

Judy. While you were absent there was an audition for a male and female
lead in a ballet show. Do you want to audition with me?

Yeah. Just tell me when and where.

I saw Cressida’s Parents at the meeting and it is Mr and Mrs Brayworth.
York
The Brayworths.
Priya
Yes them. They are more ruthless than Alan Sugar.
Brody
Poor her. That must have been hard being their Daughter.
Priya
I kind of understand why she is the way she is. Cold and driven.
Judy
Don’t fall for it Priya. She is a fucking lunatic. Don’t you ever trust
her.
Priya
Let’s talk about something else. Brody how is your Mother?
Brody
She’s good. I’m loving getting to know her but I am sceptical about
finding my real Father. She shown me this picture. I asked who everyone was in
it and she named one of them as my biological Father. She loved him but my
Grandparents hated him.
York
Brody. You have to find him. You’ll regret it if you don’t. If Laila
says he is a good guy trust her judgement.
Priya
And if he was so bad why would she keep a picture of him after all this
time.
Brody
Your right. I should.
Judy
You should take your real Mum Molly with you. It might be breaking her
heart. Don’t make her feel she is losing you.

Oh yeah they did. Let me play this to you.
Salvador plays it.
Scott
I can’t believe it. And they dissed York.
Salvador
What do you want to do? Clap back or let it die?
Scott
I don’t know. We should all have a discussion about this as Chung Dudes.
I have to think about this. It’s so homophobic and they test my street cred. Ah
ah.
Salvador
Either way. We are the best. We have achieved more than they ever have
or will.
Scott
Your right.
Salvador
Yeah.
Salvador leans in to kiss Scott.
Scott
What are you doing?
Salvador
I’ve been in love with you for years.

No.

York. He dumped you.

I love York. He’s the one. It’s just a trial separation. Salvador
nothing can or will happen between us.

Hey York. About the music. My crew Chung Dudes have been dissed by rival

involved? Do you want to clap back? Let me know. Personally I love you. Please
come back to me. Forgive me.

Mr Mungo
Hello Laila. Please sit. You know what this meeting is about?
Mrs Duff
Yes. Brody.
Mr Mungo
So in your words tell me what happened?
Mrs Duff
When I was a teenager I gave birth to a beautiful little boy but my
Parents practically forced me to give him up as I was too young and wouldn’t
have been able to give him the best start in life. In this school year along
came a new student Brody and just after the BRIT Awards his adoptive Mother
Molly told me he was the baby I gave away after she saw us on television. I
should have told you sooner but I didn’t really know how. I didn’t want to
jeopardise his place at Artisque.
Mr Mungo
You should have told me sooner.
Mrs Duff
Please don’t expel him. He is a good kid. A great writer. Can’t we just
transfer him into another class where I don’t have to teach him?
Mr Mungo
Okay. But what he has done is stalking. Fraud.
Mrs Duff
He did it with the best intentions.
Next scene
It is early in the morning and the teacher has not arrived in the
classroom. Cressida is waiting and Priya enters the classroom.
Cressida
Look if you are after a slanging match I am really not in the mood.
Priya
You went to
dangerous methods and lengths to succeed in a business that is competitive and
full of loads of talent. That doesn’t give you the excuse or right to do what
you did. But from seeing your Parents and what you come from I understand. I
forgive you but I will never forget this. I wish you nothing but the best at Artisque and your music.
Priya
walks away.
Cressida
Priya. I have wrote a song about the World Cup. Do you want to make it a duet with me? My white flag?
Priya
Yes. Sure. Why not?

Scott.
Scott
York.
York
How have you been?
Scott
Not bad. Did you get my message?
York
Yeah. I did. I would have replied but I didn't know what to say. I'm not the confrontational kind of guy. If you want to clap back, do it. But we are not kids in a school yard. The songs with you and H3rcul3s are one offs. I'm a dancer and you know that.
H3rcul3s intervenes.
H3rcul3s
Hey York.
Scott interrupts.
Scott
This was all part of your plan ha?
H3rcul3s
Look Scott. It's not personal. Just business.
Scott
York. You heard those homophobic lyrics. That's personal and we know it.
York
Look. I don't want to be involved with this tedious war or rivalry going on here. I've done songs with both and you are both good rappers. Scott can I come over to collect the rest of my things?
Scott
Yes.
York moves to another table.
Scott talks to H3rcul3s.
Scott
Chung Dudes are the best. The Trappers will never come close to what we have achieved. Why don't you go back to your Olympic athlete career?
H3rcul3s
Fuck you Scott. You are going to lose your fans just like you are losing York.
Mrs Duff enters the room and delivers her speech.
Mrs Duff
Hello everyone. Through the test last week you all took and the winners to do work experience with my husband Mr Duff are Judy and Eamon.

That is why I just don't trust men. Even in the 21st century.
Judy
I hope I don't offend or unload bad memories but what was the army like?
Eamon
Briefly it was good. Fully it had it's highs and lows. I saw things nobody should see. It hit me hard. I lost Brothers in the worst way. It traumatized me. But it was what I love. I love my duty of care. To protect and serve. I will never regret it. They made the decision for me to no longer be in the army. I was so lucky that my Parents exposed me to so many things I could do as an adult in my childhood. But they were not happy I entered the army. They are probably happier I am out of the army and here at Artisque.
Judy
That is so real. You are one of the strongest men I know. I say it is hard to find a good man but they are the ones busy saving the world. What you do is so underrated. You deserve so much more than just a medal.

Hey. Don't disrespect my girl like that. What you did to her was horrible. How dare you?
Xavier
Yeah. And I'm going to do it again. And Judy how dare you continue your career as a model after what you did to my family.
Eamon
Look Xavier. She doesn't want to talk to you. Just walk away.
Xavier
No. I'm going to let you know that you can't cross me like that and get away with it.
Judy
Nice try with the threat from your girl. I'm going to keep going and I will never stop.
Xavier
Well then I will have to teach you both a lesson.
Xavier attempts to attack Judy. Eamon punches Xavier.

I'm gonna sue you for that.

Stay away from us.

Scott. Don't. It's not worth it. The whole duet H3rcul3s was part of your plan wasn't it?
H3rcul3s keeps quiet.
H3rcul3s
Ignore Scott and the hype.
Scott
You haven't heard the last of me and Chung Dudes.
York and Scott walk away. They talk while they walk.
York
Scott. You can't do that. He will only win. The Police know and they will get to the truth. I got your text. What do you want to ask me?
