This is not my script. I'm not even going to bother putting that in front of every single chapter like I normally do cause I don't feel like it. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

ACT ONE SCENE ONE

(We see CASPER at home, before school. Hes at his computer, furiously waiting for something to load. We get the impression it might be homework or something huge...)

More Than Survive

CASPER: C-c-c-cmon,C-c-c-cmon, C-c-c-cmon, C-c-c-cmon, go go

I'm waiting for my porno to load

My brain is gonna freaking explode

And now of course its time to hit the road

Which means Ill be uncomfortable all day

But that really isnt such a change

If Im not feeling weird or super strange

My life would be in utter disarray

Cause freaking out is my okay

Good morning, time to start the day.

C-c-c-cmon,C-c-c-cmon, C-c-c-cmon, C-c-c-cmon, go go

C-c-c-cmon,C-c-c-cmon, C-c-c-cmon, C-c-c-cmon, go go

(CASPER bolts from the room and enters the bathroom. He looks at himself in the mirror. Lifts up his shirt to check for muscles. HYPNOS enters.)

CASPER: Dad! Havent you heard of privacy?

HYPNOS: Were all men in this house. Pretend were in the army.

JEREMY: Just... When I get home... Please have pants on. Okay?

HYPNOS: Ten-hut.

(CASPER heads outside.)

CASPER: Should I take a bus or walk instead?

I feel my stomach filling up with dread

When I get nervous my whole face goes red

Dude, weigh the options calmly and be still.

A junior on the bus is killer weak

But if I walk, when I arrive Im gonna straight-up reek

And my boxers will be bunchy and my pits will leak

Oh, gah I wish I had to skill

To just be fine and cool and chill

(Perhaps we see CASPER on the bus, heading to school.)

I dont wanna be a hero,

Just wanna stay in the line

Ill never be a Rob Dinero,

For me, Joe Peschi is fine

And so I follow my own rules,

And I use them as my tools,

To stay-ay-ay alive.

I dont wanna be special, no no

I just wanna survive.

(CASPER arrives at school. Students buzz around and sing along with him.)

CASPER, STUDENTS: C-c-c-cmon, c-c-c-cmon, go go, c-c-c-cmon, c-c-c-cmon, go go

(CASPER goes to his locker, where SKYLAR and ARIA gossip, DAHLIA trying to wedge her way in.)
