(Day; at Anjal school; at 9B class. The class is having an ordinary L.A session, but the teacher stops the session since the class has got a conference to attend.)


L.A teacher (Mr Essam): Ok. Line up. 



(The class lines up and heads towards the bus)


Abdo: Oh, hey guys! No no; it's not a school trip. We're headin' off to some conference in... uh... I don't know where. But now that you're here, lemme introduce you to the gang. Startin' off, we've got Omar! My brother, mi hermano, mon [pauses]

Omar: Enough!

Abdo: Ok ok! Jeez. Next up is Bader! The "fun" boy and the last one you'd need in a serious situation.

Bader: (unamused) By the way, who are you talking to?

Abdo: Don't mind him. He isn't used to breaking the fourth wall. Anyways, say hi to Nawaf! I really like to get on his nerves. 

Nawaf: AND YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AT IT!

Abdo: Loser of the class says what.

Nawaf: What?

Abdo: Got 'em. 

Nawaf: Get away from me!

Abdo: C'mon, man. I know you like me. You're just being stubborn and cute as always.

Nawaf: (grumbles)

Abdo: Maybe not cute. Catch ya later, Waf!

Nawaf: BYE AND SEE YOU NEVER!

Abdo: (chuckles nervously) Next on the list (and last in everything else) is Huraib.

Huraib: Thank you. Thank you. As you know, I'm the best [pauses]

Abdo: Bong Bong Bing Bong!

Huraib: I'm the best [pauses]!

Abdo: Bong Bong Bing Bong!

Huraib: I'M THE BEST [pauses]!!!

Abdo: Bong Bong Bing Bong! You know, let's just ignore this blockhead.

Huraib: I heard ya!

Abdo: Anyways, the rest are Azzam, Mohammed Khamees, Ali Al-Khamees, Mubarak, some other forgettable side characters not even worth a mention, and finally me! Wew. Oh, there's the bus. It's been fun, guys, but let's just skip to the part when it gets interesting. 


(A while later)


Abdo: And we've arrived! Now let's see what that's all about. Oh, the entire school is here. Looks like it's really important.


(The students are taken to a grand stage, where a man is getting ready to make a presentation)


Abdo: No food or movies. What good is this theater?! Ok ok. Let's not rush it. Heh; maybe this guy has something interesting to say. For context, the guy's graduated from Anjal (no wonder the school's so pumped about this); his name's Salem; and he made a "revolutionary" discovery. Let's see if he's worth the hype.

Salem: Greetings, my enthusiastic attendees. 

Abdo: (whispering) No one's enthusiastic about you. This class is only enthusiastic for sport sessions.
