Mine

EPISODE 1 pt.1 : In the window.

"You useless rat!!"

 A tough boy in a school uniform yelled out as he kicked another young boy in the stomach as he lay on the floor. grunting can be heard.

"You not even gonna fight back huh?!"

The touch boy picked the other vulnerable one up by the collar in a fury, the vulnerable boy's face is revealed to be injured and bleeding through various cuts.

"P-please...I'm sorry" The vulnerable one said as he groaned in agony and spoke in a soft yet weak voice.

The other boy scoffed and huffed through the weak one down, then walked off.
The vulnerable boy, Jared Simpson, Connor's best friend in high school stood up from the ground. 
Connor runs over after seeing the whole incident. Connor looks vulnerable and weak too.

"Jared, I...I am so sorry.." Connor says as he places his hands on his friend's forearms to keep him up.

"It doesn't matter, Connor. I'm going home." Jared didn't want the company so he pushed Connor away in embarrassment and disappointment. Jared then disappeared out of the alleyway rather quickly.

Connor looked worried for his friend as he watched him go. A sigh can be heard coming from his mouth.

"what do I do.." Connor mumbled into the solitary air surrounding him, hoping for a solution. but...there was nothing.
Connor seemed stressed about this but had the idea that going home and then sleeping on it would help.

-INTERIOR: CONNOR'S BEDROOM-

Connor lays on his bed, staring up at his ceiling as his thoughts rush with what he can do to help his dear friend. Connor is the rebellious type so his mind keeps going to teach the bully a lesson with violence but he knows Jared wouldn't appreciate it and that he will be expelled, he soon grows to feel quite useless as he knows there is nothing he can do to help Jared.
He looks at his phone to check the time, 10:34 PM.
"I should sleep.." Connor said to himself as he took his glasses off and turned his lamp off as he got himself in a comfortable position to sleep in for the rest of the night. 

-INTERIOR: JARED'S BEDROOM-

"Are you serious?! you got in another fight again!" Jared's mom yells.

"Mom, no it's not like that! I just ran into some trouble on the way home that's all!!" Jared yells back as he brushes his hand through his hair in a stressful manner.

"Trouble?! That sounds like a fight to me! why can't you be like Connor? perfect grades, studying and doing something with his life. You lousy brat!!" Jared's mom yells, she has a broom in hand.

"Why don't you have him as a son then? huh! why?! why have me if you can't even look at me and be proud of me for once? why can't you be happy I'm actually in school!! why can't you look at me and love me like you do with Lula?! huh!?! why mom why!!" Jared yells, bursting into tears in front of his mom.

"You think it's easy for me to be proud of you when every day I get a call from your school that you got into a fight again? I didn't raise you to fight, I raised you to be a man. just like your dad!" Jared's mom yells back.

"Well, dad is gone!! okay?! he is dead and he isn't coming back!" Jared yells, he then takes his slippers off and climbs into bed. 

The air between him and his mother at the moment is very tense. His mom sniffles as she holds back her tears, she then leaves the room closing the door behind her. Jared lays in his bed as he stares at the picture of him and his dad on his dresser table. The picture is Jared as a 6-year-old boy and his dad when he was alive. The photo was taken the day before his dad passed.

-THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL-

Connor goes over to Jared's desk, "Jared! You okay? How was it last night when you got home?" he asks him with a soft smile. Jared sighs but puts on a fake smile

"Everything was okay, don't worry about me! anyway, did you do the homework for today?" Jared asks.

"Of course, I did the homework, we still have....15 minutes before class, want me to help you with yours?" Connor asks, the pause is the look at the clock on the wall in the classroom to see how long they had to chill before the lessons began.

"No, it's okay, thank you though. I did all my homework for the week Sunday night." Jared says with a smile and takes today's homework out. Connor nods and sits next to Jared.

 "What are your plans for tonight?" Connor asks.

"Studying," Jared says as he goes over his homework checking his answers.

"Can't you come out for the night? please, we can go to this new arcade that opened up!" Connor says, trying to get Jared to bunk off of studying.

"No Connor, you know I can't. You know what the witch would do if she found out" Jared says referring to his mom as a 'witch'.

"Damn, wanna have a study session at my place then?" Connor asks, Jared agrees with just a nod. Connor was about to speak again but that's when the English teacher walked in.

"Okay, we will go over the register then I will come to collect homework. We will be doing unseen poetry today!" Miss Kingsom said with a smile.
