The
detention classroom is filled with mischievous and rebellious teenagers who
don’t have the patience to waste their sweet time on a Saturday that can be
spent doing far more entertaining things than being stuck in a classroom with
their least favorite teacher.
CLASSROOM – EARLY SATURDAY MORNING
We see CLAIRE and
BRIAN sitting next to each other in the very back of the classroom, behind many
empty desks.
CLAIRE
How in the world are
we supposed to sneak out of this classroom when Mr. Cherry is going to be
watching us for the next six hours?
BRIAN
Claire, do you really
think he’ll have his eyes glued on all of us for that long? Knowing him, he’ll
probably pass out two hours into the detention, at most.
CLAIRE
You’re right, he’s
always sleeping during finals anyways. How would we get out of here in the
first place?
BRIAN
We could always go
right through the door but that’s too easy. Going out through the window seems
riskier and a lot more fun.
CLAIRE
You’re crazy, but I’m
in!
An hour passes by and
MR. CHERRY is snoring at the front desk
BRIAN
It’s go time.
Claire
But what if someone
tells on us?
BRIAN
Don’t you worry Claire, I’m sure everyone in here will not care enough to do so, and even if they did care at all they would most likely just join us.

BRIAN opens the back
window slyly and follows CLAIRE outside.
CAFETERIA – SATURDAY NOON
BRIAN and CLAIRE are
hungry but have no money on them so they decide to sneak into the lunch room
and steal some snacks.
CLAIRE
Okay, I say we get
the chocolate muffins and Chex Mix.
BRIAN
Sounds good to me but
I also want some pizza, do you think we’ll have time to use the microwave?
CLAIRE
We’ll have to make it
quick because I don’t know if there’s anybody around at this time on a Saturday.
BRIAN
I’m sure there isn’t,
it’s a weekend. There’s no school in session. Therefore the lunch ladies don’t
have any kids to feed in the first place.
CLAIRE
There are always the
janitors.
BRIAN
I’m sure the janitors
would join in.
BRIAN and CLAIRE
sneak into the lunch room and stuff their sweatshirt pockets with food. As soon
as BRIAN puts a slice of pizza in the microwave, they hear footsteps coming
towards them. Panicking, CLAIRE grabs BRIANS hand and they start sprinting down
the hallway towards the football field.
FOOTBALL FIELD – SATURDAY NOON
Panting,
CLAIRE and BRIAN take a break from running. They both collapse on the hot turf
football field. They take off their sweatshirts and sit on them. They take out
their food and begin to have a picnic.
BRIAN
Well that was a close
one, wasn’t it Claire?
CLAIRE
A little too close,
are you sure it’s a good idea to be sitting out here in plain sight eating all
the food we just stole?
BRIAN
Hey who cares, we’ll
be fine.
A golf cart makes its
way up the track towards the football field. The two security guys are in there
with mad expressions on their faces.
BRIAN
RUN!
BRIAN and CLAIRE
begin to run away from the scene, bringing everything they had with them. They
run through a hole in the fence behind the football field. They are now off
campus and decide to run all the way around school to where the detention
classroom is.
CLAIRE
We better not get
caught Brian, I’m not trying to have Saturday detentions for the rest of the
school year!
BRIAN
BRIAN
Don’t even worry
about it, we’ll be okay. I promise you!
BRIAN and CLAIRE run
through the front of school trying to avoid the school security. They finally
arrive to the window of their Saturday detention classroom. CLAIRE jumps in
first, making not a sound and gets back to her desk in a heartbeat. BRIAN jumps
in next, making a giant thump as he hits the ground, knocking over a few books.
MR.CHERRY
Brian what are you
doing at over there?
BRIAN
I’m sorry Mr. Cherry;
I was just looking for something to read.
MR. CHERRY
Just sit back down in
your desk and don’t make another sound.
BRIAN
Yes sir!
Brian and Claire got
away with sneaking out of detention, stealing school food, and outrunning the
school security even though they had a golf cart.
