Script

The original script for our opening scene was:

Megan: (to Hazel’s phone)

                *I’m sorry*

                *I miss you*

                *I didn’t mean to*

                *If I could go back and change things then I would*

Mum: (to Megan’s phone)

                *GUESS WHAT!*

Megan: (to Mum’s phone)

                *What?*

Mum: (to Megan’s phone)

*I’M PREGNANT!*

Teacher:  Excuse, me, um, new girl, what is your name?

Megan: It’s Megan

Teacher: Well I don’t know what the rules at your old school Megan, but here we don’t go on our phones in class

Megan: Sorry Miss

We did not use this exact script, although we followed the general idea of it. We decided to let the actors choose the exact wording of their dialogue to make the acting seem as natural as possible.
