INT - EMPTY CLASSROOM - DAY
[FADE IN]
JASON WALKS IN ON ALEX SITTING AT
A DESK IN A CLASSROOM
JASON:
I just got your text, what the hell
are you doing in here?
ALEX:
Jason...I, I dont think I belong
here...you know...at this academy
JASON :
Are you kidding? where else would
you belong? Come on, we need to get
to class, or i'm gonna end up being
late again, you know how mad Mr
Farone gets when i'm late, even
though i practice outside of
college all the time
JASON LETS OUT A SMALL LAUGH AND
LOOKS OVER TO ALEX, ALEX IS STILL
STARING BLANKLY AT THE ROOF
ALEX:
You always say that! For gods sake
Jason, you're gonna get yourself
expelled, remember, just like he
did last year?

3. 2
JASON SCOWLS AT ALEX AND SITS DOWN
AT THE TABLE WITH HIM, HE GATHERS
HIS WORDS AND TRIES TO HIDE HIS
ANGER BUT CANNOT
JASON:
You know that won't happen, I'm
careful. and I know what i'm doing.
I'm nothing like he was
ALEX:
Whatever man, I still don't want
you getting kicked out...
ALEX TURNS A PAGE ON HIS BOOK,
TURNS BACK, THEN CLOSES THE BOOK
AND THROWS IT ASIDE
ALEX:
You know that teach checks up on
us all the time,and... and you know
my dad gets mad easy, he's already
on my case about this place, we've
only been at this academy about 3
months...
JASON:
Listen, Alex, I know what i'm
doing, see, Mr Farone always says
we need to be careful with our
powers but people need to be at
least a little reckless sometimes,
right? Listen, watch this
JASON BEGINS BREATHING HARD AND
HIS BREATH BECOMES MORE VISIBLE,
WHEN A BALL OF ICE FORMS IN HIS

4. 3
HAND
ALEX:
Jason! I still trust Mr Farone with
controlling my powers and you
should too! Stop that!
ALEX SWIPES AT THE BALL OF ICE
MAKING IT SHATTER IN HIS HAND
JASON:
He only holds me back, I could do
so much better on my own
ALEX:
I dont care that you think you're
getting better, I don't want you
getting kicked out so soon because
you think you can do better on your
own!
ALEX BEGINS TO GET MAD AT JASON, AS
HEAT STARS TO RADIATE FROM HIS BODY
AND HIS SKIN TURNS A RED HUE
JASON:
Alex, what the hell are you doing?
THE HEAT INTENSIFIES AROUND ALEX
AND A SMALL CLOUD OF SMOKE FORMS
AROUND ALEX
JASON:
Didn't Mr Farone teach you anything
at all? God damn it control
yourself!

5. 4
ALEX:
I don't think I can! It's too much!
JASON:
Alex! for god's sake!
JASON STANDS FROM HIS SEAT AND
GRABS ALEX
JASON:
Come on Alex, there could be people
coming in here any moment!
THE RED ON ALEX SLOWLY FADES AS HE
COOLS, ALEX PUTS HIS HEAD IN HIS
HANDS AND STAYS SILENT
JASON:
Alex...you okay?
JASON PLACES A HAND ON ALEX'S
SHOULDER AND COMFORTS HIM, ALEX
TAKES HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS HANDS AND
WIPES HIS EYES
ALEX:
I knew I wasn't good enough for
this place, I can hardly control
myself and look what you can do!
JASON TAKES HIS HAND FROM ALEX AND
CROSSES HIS ARMS, LEANING BACK ON
HIS CHAIR AND LAUGHS

6. 5
JASON:
Are you kidding? with power like
that? That's a lot more than I
could do!
JASON LETS OUT ONE MORE LAUGH
JASON:
Sorry about the laughing, I can
hardly help myself
JASON SMILES AND LOOKS TOWARDS THE
DOOR
JASON:
But still, we should get going,
we're gonna be about 10 minutes
late now, I wish I could teleport
like Katie, that would make
everything so much easier...
ALEX:
Yeah i guess, we're gonna get our
assess kicked, eh?
JASON:
Well, me more so than you, but yes,
assess will be kicked indeed
JASON LETS OUT ANOTHER LAUGH AND
THE TWO GET UP FROM THE TABLE
ALEX:
Well, let's go, i'm glad I didn't
burn this room down
(MORE)

7. 6
ALEX (CONT'D)
JASON:
Yeah, me too, I didn't want to burn
to death any time today...let's get
out of here.
THE TWO WALK TOWARDS THE DOOR,
JASON OPENS IT FOR ALEX, ALEX WALKS
OUT AND IS FOLLOWED BY JASON, WHO
SWITCHES THE LIGHTS OUT IN THE
ROOM.
