Good morning dad.

Hey Kiddo, good morning.

Did you sleep well?

Uhm...yeah I did.

Nice.

Alright, sit down let’s eat before you’re late.

Dad where is mom?

She is still in bed.

Is she okay?

She is not feeling too well.

Where are you going?

I want to check on her.

She is still sleeping.

You will see her when you get back from school, okay.

Don’t disturb her.

Come, let’s eat.

You.

What now?

Did I just catch you checking me out?

Oh please.

At this point,

I think I have to conclude that you are delusional.

I think you’re being too sensitive.

No, I am not.

Yes you are.

Why can't you take a joke?

You need to lighten up.

Lighten up.

Okay.

Hey Mandy.

Kayla.

Where did you come from?

Does it matter?

What were you and my Jayden talking about?

Your Jayden?

Did I stutter?

Answer me please.

Nothing.

He was just being mean as usual.

Come on Mandy,

I’m sure he wasn't being mean.

Yes, he was.

I mean you weren't even here.

I am sure he was just being cute.

And you and I both know

you are too sensitive to take a cute joke anyway.

-No, I am not. -Yes, you are.

He was actually being-

Don’t bother, see you in class.

Hey.

-Hey. -Are you okay?

Yes, I am.

How are you?

I’m good, just checking in.

I’m actually headed to the canteen, do you want anything?

Uh anything is fine.

Okay.

I’ll be right back.

[Tayo clears throat]

Looks like the tides are turning

and some people are happy.

Tayo, don't you ever get tired?

Look at this one? Who was talking to you?

Shaking her small ass.

Yes, at least I have small ass,

but you, you have no brain.

You’re senseless.

Can we just ignore this loser?

Exactly, losers don't deserve attention.

Baby girl spill the tea.

Spill it.

There’s nothing to spill.

We are just very good friends.

Nothing to spill?

You two seem really chummy now.

So there’s no tea to spill?

No, I said we’re just good friends.

Are you sure there’s no tea,

or you’re hiding something from the girls?

Alright Amara, go back to your seat.

Now!

Leave me.

Are you stupid?

Thank you.

Go back to your seat.

Now!

Are you sure there’s-- -I said go back.

No tea to spill?

Go back, get out.

Get out.

Guys!

Guys, we need to talk okay.

Who are we fighting?

You would be fighting for me.

Girl spill, we got you.

Come on.

Okay.

So I’m going to need your help

on how to make Jayden take me to the Easter charity ball.

That's it?

Yes.

And it’s top priority okay, so all hands on deck.

So why don’t you just ask him?

Mandy.

What do you take me for?

A desperate girl, no!

Look for me,

chivalry is still very much alive,

so I want him to ask me

and in the most romantic way possible.

Follow him on his socials and--

You think I haven't done that?

I’m practically stalking the boy.

How do you think we’re met to be soulmate?

Soulmate?

Yes.

It’s never too early to plan a future.

I’m sorry.

I don’t think I can help you.

You are the one with the trenches boy.

Okay, how did you get him to fall in love with you?

Calm down.

He is a trenches boy for crying out loud.

I mean, what is there not to like about Mandy?

I’m sure she didn't have to lift a finger.

Girls!

He has a name okay.

His name is Teekay.

And yes, I didn't have to lift a finger

because we are just friends not soulmates.

Okay, whatever.

We are talking about me not you.

What are you doing in here?

Shouldn't you be at the cafeteria?

Are you okay?

Yes I am.

And I also come bearing gifts.

Teekay.

I know you haven't played this since your friends got suspended.

And I just thought why not?

Especially now that I’m hiding from my parents.

Well, that was a good thought.

I know.

And while we play, we only have one rule.

Just one rule.

Okay.

-And what’s that? -We’re only playing for fun.

Well in that case,

sign me up.

-Alright. -Shuffle the cards.

No, I want you to shuffle.

No, no, shuffle.

[Phone vibrating]

Do you have to take that?

No.

I’ll call back later.

But you know this is my game right?

Let’s see how that goes.

Okay.

You know what happen when you challenge the king?

Who even made you that?

-I did. -Wait.

So guys,

any idea on how to get my future boyfriend?

So sorry K-K, I’ve got nothing.

Sorry.

I’m sorry, I got nothing too.

I mean, what do you even like about this boy?

Mandy!

What’s not to love about Jayden?

Main character energy!

And I have that too,

so that means we’re a perfect match.

Plus, the way I see it,

we are going to be the future

president and first lady of this country.

Give it girl!

I don’t get it,

why can’t you be the president all by yourself?

Shush Mandy!

No one asked you.

Don't shush me okay.

You know what,

I feel you should actually just forget this boy and move on.

maybe then he’ll start to notice you all by himself

without all these shenanigans.

You know what,

don’t worry.

I don’t even know why I asked.

I don't need this mid advice from you guys.

I will fix it myself.

Fine, fix it!

Nice game.

You barely saw that.

I don’t need to see it all to know you play a good game.

We haven't officially met.

I'm Kayla.

Jayden.

I know.

Oh.

Okay.

So, I want us to be friends.

Okay, friends.

Great.

Now I want us to be more than friends

by the time Easter Charity Event comes.

Why is that?

So you can ask me to be your date.

I like you.

I really like you, you know.

You are bold.

I know, I like me too.

You see, it’s one thing we have in common.

As much as I’d like to take you to the Easter Charity ball,

but I’m sorry I’m taken.

You are?

I am my lady.

Well,

We’ll see about that, as I always

always get what I want.

I say that all the time.

You see,

second thing we have in common.

See you around Kayla.

Uhm...

You know what?

You should join the drama club,

you have a leading man energy.

Why would I want to do that?

If you won't take me to the dance,

join the drama club.

I’ll think about it.

Okay.

See you around Jayden.

What was that about?

She wants me to join the drama club.

Girlfriend?

Girlfriend?

Whoever you are, watch out!

Because that boy is mine.

What's funny?

Nothing.

You an actor?

Actor!

The actor!

You know what, for this I am doing it.

Pass the ball let’s play.

-Pass. -Guy go get the ball.

I’m joining the club Man!

Let’s play!

Where were you?

I went to shoot my shot like you adviced.

So, how did it go?

What do you think Mandy?

I’m sorry Kayla- -Don’t apologize.

Okay.

It’s not over.

It’s not?

Of course not.

I need to find out who he is dating this school,

so I can detach her lungs from her body.

He has a girlfriend?

I just said that.

But what if his girlfriend is not in our school?

I mean, he is new after all.

Then that means I have a chance, and that’s all I need.

Look, that's a really great plan,

but right now we have to go.

Come on let’s go.

Good afternoon students.

Good afternoon Ms. Cheta.

Good afternoon Mr. Efe.

Good afternoon.

Well, we all know that last week

we experienced and witnessed

a glorious display of talents.

and based on that I have with me here the cast list.

But if you don't make it on the list,

that doesn't mean that your talent is not enough.

It means that casting for a role

is much more than just your talents.

It is who fits the character better,

who looks or embodies the elements

required by the character to thrive.

Understand?

Yes ma’am.

So if you don’t make the list,

we will use your talents in other departments.

Yes, exactly.

Like I'm the orchestra for those who can sing,

there’s the make up department,

the costume, Set and props, Welfare, and erm...

Yes, all that.

But before we annouce the list,

we have one more audition to see

Jayden Mark!

Oh my God! He came.

Chiza, he came.

What do you mean?

I invited him to join the drama club.

Oh my God! K-K do you know what this means?

I do.

-He is so into you. -I know.

Shush!

Jayden.

Yes ma.

The stage is yours.

-Wow us. -Thank you.

My name is Jayden and this is my monologue.

It's you.

It has always been you.

Couldn't you tell, after all these years?

When you chose him over me, didn't I let you go?

You know, I learnt something

if you really love someone, you let them go.

And if they come back to you then they are into you.

100 years after Amanda--

Did you hear that? -Shush!

100 years after Becca

and here we are again

as it should have been,

with everything in place.

Everything so perfect,

everything so wonderful just as I have always hoped for.

And now you want to leave me just like that.

Why now?

Becca, why now?

Am I that unlovable?

Becca why?

Why?

Thank you.

Magnifico! Spectacular!

Done like a true thespian.

Welcome to the club young Thespis.

Thank you.

Okay.

Now the list.

There is no debate...

that our male lead, our love struck love interest

is Jayden Mark.

Chiza, perfect!

Oh my goodness, everything is falling into place.

I am lead, he is my love interest.

You know what this means right?

The relationship is going to be lit!

The protagonist, our hero Adaugo is...

Amanda Henshaw.

And the antagonist, the vicious villain Ochamba,

Kayla Ehigiator.

And to the supporting casts...

The supporting casts.

Hey Amanda!

Congratulations on your lead role.

Congratulations to you too.

I mean, who knew you could even act?

I am full of surprises.

Well, good for you.

Uh..can I ask you something?

No you can’t.

and I’ll advice you drop out of the drama club,

because no one wants you here.

No one wants me or just you?

Whatever.

Why is she so angry?

Uhm...

Fejiro can I join you?

What do you want?

Can I join you?

I don't care whether you do or not.

Well, I will take that as a yes.

Looks like your friends have abandoned you.

Looks like it.

Now you know how it feels.

Fejiro please just eat.

Alright, settle down.

Pick your instruments, be quick about it.

Time waits for no man and music is spiritual itself.

That's mine.

Mandy,

your name is not written on it.

I always play the guitar.

Not anymore, you don't.

You don't even play.

Well,

while you were away on your little trenches vacation,

I took over.

Give it back!

Look Mandy, I don’t have time for this.

as you can see I have many things to do okay.

I said give it back!

What is happening there?

The music room is sacrosanct.

No fighting.

Sir, she took my instrument.

Sir, I got it first.

She doesn't even play.

Is that why you are fighting?

Young women,

the great talented, multi-instrumentalist

Edgar Winter once said,

music is spiritual and has the power to bring people together.

If this room doesn’t have the power to bring you both together,

and heal your soul,

then you are exempted from this class.

But sir-- -No buts.

Get out!

Now!

Alright, back to work.

Remember we stooped at the ‘da’ in the scale.

You remember

[Singing]

Kayla.

What is going on?

Stop pretending like you don’t know.

Why are you asking?

I honestly do not understand

why you’ve been acting all salty and shady of recent.

I tend do that around snakes.

Kayla, you know it's not my fault I got the lead, right?

You should have stayed out of the auditions all the same!

-Really? -Yes.

That’s just unfair.

Look Mandy,

if you want this friendship, drop the lead.

And that's on period!

Hey.

You.

You again.

Yes, me again what’s up?

What are you reading?

Our play?

No.

How come?

I don’t see how that is any of your business.

Well fair enough, how about you we rehearse together?

And why would I do that?

Come on, don't you want our play to be great on stage?

Please.

Fine.

Thank you.

Uh so I’m thinking...

we rehearse Act 2 scene 1.

Act 2 scene 1.

Okay, are you there?

Act 2 scene 1.

Yes.

Muofunanya...

our love is meant to be, the gods will it.

But we have been cursed not to flourish.

I know you fear that our love is forbidden and therefore hopeless,

but love is nothing if not hopeful.

I am not worthy.

The council will never find me worthy.

I am only but a freed slave.

You are more of a man than any of the council men will ever be.

You are worthy if I say you are worthy.

I am afraid.

I am.

but love is not enough and

I hope that one day you will learn that.

No my love.

You are burnt upon my heart and I bear that mark.

I am a slave of your love, from now until death.

You are mine forever.

And no being dead or alive

can ever take me away from you.

Wow!

That was great you know.

I...

For a second I believed everything that came out of your mouth.

Well, it’s called acting.

Yeah.

You know for a second I

thought we had something going on between us.

What? No!

There is nothing between us.

I never said there is, I--

I have to go, I’ll see you at rehearsal.

Who the hell does he think he is?

Something between us?

Never!

Are you feeling much better babe?

Babe I feel good.

Today is the best day of my life.

Babe no sickness can ruin it.

I know right, I can't believe it myself.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

Miracle that still comes with high risk.

What!

Babe we take what we get and we will be grateful for it.

I know.

I don't think you do.

Babe I am pregnant.

After the doctor said I couldn't.

Babe.

We are grateful.

Come here, baby.

You know, I’m just scared.

I want you to be okay, child or no child.

I will always choose.

Babe I am going to be fine, we will be.

Alright.

So uhm..

how about you travel abroad for better medical care?

What? No.

My doctors are more than capable

Babe I want extra care for you.

And that means shipping me off

to deal with this experience on my own?

You know what I mean.

What you mean also means what I just said.

Alright, we will talk about this later.

No.

We’re not talking about this again.

I don’t want to be away from you or Amanda

during the most important and scary journey of my life.

Alright, I hear you.

Thank you.

We have to tell Amanda.

I think we should wait a couple of days to be sure.

A couple of days?

Hm-hm.

Okay.

I’m so excited babe.

Me too.

My hands are literally shaking.

We are having a baby.

Yes!

Bye Dad.

You know if our eyes keep locking into each other

I would have no other choice than to think we are soulmates.

You know.

Wow, is this your new pick-up line?

What if it is?

I’m sorry but a guy who cannot get his own door,

is definitely not my soulmate.

I didn't see you trekking to school Amanda.

Now, what does this have to do with anything?

We’ve got our different privileges okay.

I’ve got mine and you’ve got yours.

You don't have to judge.

Well, you’re right but...

Finally you get to agree with me on something.

Make sense.

Okay bye.

For your information Amanda chill.

I was being in character.

You need to calm down.

See you around.

He is so freaking annoying.

What Mandy?

We don't entertain snakes like you on this table.

Look I don’t have time for this, excuse me I need to talk to Kayla.

Anything you want to say to her, you say to me.

This is not cool.

Not cool?

Mandy this is not cool?

You are the one who stole her role.

I didn't steal anything.

Girl bye!

Fine.

I’m done trying to explain myself to you guys.

Good radiance.

Please let’s eat.

Hey you!

Hey!

You know stalking isn’t cute right?

This is not stalking.

Then excuse me.

Uhm..hey.

I...

I want to be friends with you.

Give me your number.

And why would I do that?

To be friends.

I’m sorry, I don't want to be friends with you.

You know we...

need this whole thing for our chemistry on stage.

You know right?

I don't even have a phone right now.

Lying doesn't suit you at all.

And why would I lie?

I don't have one.

But I find that difficult to believe.

And I don’t care.

Look, I’m sorry.

Truth is, I really like you.

I’m sorry but that’s just a complete waste of like.

Why?

Do you have a boyfriend?

Uhm...

I have to go.
