MR WALTERS
(Coughing)
Ermm… can I get your attention
please.
4. 2.
The class slowly stops talking and start to look in the
direction of Mr. Walters.
MR WALTERS
I never thought when I started
teaching that I would ever have to
give this type of news. I… just
don't even know where to begin.
He pauses and some of the students start to look at each
other with the look of confusion.
MR WALTERS
I know that some of you may
already know this and I apologise
for mentioning it, but I have been
told that all students need to be
aware.
As Mr Walters says this Adam looks up and makes eye
contact with Mr Walters.
MR WALTERS

into tears and runs out of class. Her friend Isabelle
looks at Mr Walters.

Im gonna go make sure she is okay.
MR WALTERS
Of course.
5. 2.
Mr Walters looks back at the class. To break the awkward
silence he begins to start talking to the students.
MY WALTERS
As you can see, it is very
upsetting for the people that were
close to him. If you could just,
all be there for one another and
help each other get through this
tough time. There will be an
assembly at half 2 today to talk
about it more and everyone must
attend.
Mr Walters stops speaking and the class goes silent. In
the tense atmosphere, Marl turns to look a Adam after a
few moments.
MARL

Adam slowly turns to look at him as students in the class
begin to start talking quietly in the background.

Shit…Im sorry… honestly, I don't
