SCENE 1
(At Brington's)
(students were walking around)
(Jason was walking in front of Edna in his usual body pose - with both hands in his pockets)
Jason: even Adam understands how precious this school is...
(he stopped then turned to her)
Jason (coldly): everyone does...
(Edna took a deep breath)
(he paused and looked at Edna from head to toe arrogantly)
Jason: except you...
(Edna looked down then to him)
Edna: I'm really thankful for allowing Adam to come to your school...
(Jason was giving Edna the cold face expressions)
Edna: he is really interested in expanding his knowledge
(Jason looked away then back to her coldly and steadily)
Jason: hope he won't cause troubles
(Edna paused)
Edna (smiling): you know he is not a troublemaker..
Jason: but you are...
(Edna smiled in denial)
Edna (denying): I'm not a troublemaker... Why would you say that?
Jason: because you are a troublemaker
Edna: no I'm not
Jason: then why aren't you here...?
(she paused)
Jason:...where you belong?
(she looked at him in silence)
(Jason was staring fixedly at Edna)
Edna: thank you, Jason....
(Jason suddenly rolled his eyes then walked away from Edna)
Edna:... for Adam
(Edna looked at Jason while walking away)
(while he was walking away)
Edna: Jason!
(Jason stopped without turning as his face turned pale)
(she walked to stand in front of him)
Edna (calmly): I've been meaning to ask you about... Oliver?
(he got confused but tried to act calm)
Jason: he is doing fine..
Edna: are you sure?
(Jason sweated even harder)
Jason: sure...
(she paused)
Edna: alright... I'll pick Adam at 5...
Jason: sure...
(Edna stared at him then she left)
(he took a deep breath)

(Somewhere)
(A door opened)
(the inside was dark and the only light was outside)
(there was someone who was standing at the door)
(we couldn't see who)
(the man took steps inside the room then lit the light)
(it was Henry, the professor)
(he was carrying his "Tumi")
(he walked into the room then stood in front of a door)
(he placed his palm on a screen as it scanned his hand)
(a light turned green, then the door opened)
(he walked inside)
(he went downstairs)
(the door closed behind him)

SCENE 3
(In the secret room)
(there were many glass boxes around)
(each box contained a different relic)
(Henry reached an empty glass box)
(there was a keypad on the box)
(he pressed few keys then the door of the box opened)
(he slowly placed the Tumi inside)
(he slowly closed the door of the box then locked it)
(he smiled proudly)
Henry: welcome to your new home...
(he stared at it for a while then he left)
(while walking away, he heard whispers)
(his smile disappeared and he froze in his place)
(the lights began flickering)
(he looked at the lamp)
(then suddenly he heard a sound of breaking glass)
(he ran quickly to where he had placed the Tumi)

(Henry looked at the box but it was intact)
(he was panicked)
(he looked around but he didn't find anything broken)
(he kept looking around in confusion)

SCENE 5
(Outside the secret room)
(Henry locked the room using his hand scan but he was still thinking about what happened downstairs)
(he turned and suddenly his cat jumped in front of him)
(he was scared)
Henry: Nina... You scared me.
(he was relieved )
(but the cat looked panicked)
(he looked at where Nina was before she jumped)
(he found broken plates)
Henry: Nina!!
(he turned to the cat)
Henry: it was you...
(Nina then left)
(he slowly turned to the broken plates)
(Henry had an awkward feeling)

SCENE 6
(At the school)
(Adam was getting out of the class)
(he was looking at a book in his hand)
Lucy (surprised): Adam?
(he lifted his head to her)
Lucy: I can't believe it...
(she ran to him and came closer)
(his face was emotionless)
Lucy: are you a student now?
Adam (coldly): ye.. Yes...
(she was smiling widely)
Lucy: great... Come on...ill show you around
(she took his hand and they both left)
(Jason was was hiding behind them and he was listening to their conversation)
(he smirked then looked away)

(he managed easily to conjure different magical forms)
(Edna knocked then entered)
Edna (softly): hey
(he turned to her emotionless)
(she paused)
Edna: just thought to check on you...
(his face was still cold)
(she sat on bed next to him)
Edna: I didn't get to ask you about your first day at school...
(he paused)
(he showed her magic through his hands gestures)
(she smiled)
Edna: that's pretty good...
(he didn't say anything)
(he looked down)
(she paused)
Edna: I know you better to say that you look upset...
(he looked at her)
(he paused for a long time)
Adam: everyone... At... School...
(Edna was listening)
(he looked up)
Adam: everyone....
(he looked down as he was trying to speak)
Adam: know... themselves... Know... Each other...
(he looked at her)
Adam: I... don't know.... me
(Edna sympathised with Adam)
(she Sat on the ground right in front of him)
Adam: who am I?
(she held his hands with a lot of compassion on her face)
Edna: I know it is painful when you don't know where you belong...
(he looked at her)
Edna: but it's not the number of people you know...it's not the place
(she paused)
Edna: it about the people who cares about you... The people who loves you...
(he was quiet)
Edna: this is what matters now...
(she paused)
Edna: all I can promise... You will stay a family for me....
(she smiled)
(he looked at her)
Adam: that boy...
(her smile disappeared)
Adam: in school...
Edna: what boy?
Adam: sitting...on a chair
(her face turned sad)
Adam: do you...know him?
(she was surprised)
Edna: why do you say that?
Adam: the way... You looked...at him...
(she looked down)
