Schoolyard Rumble

Synopsis
Kaye has witnessed some bully picking on the younger students at school. She won't stand for this, will she give the bully a taste of her own medicine?

Story
[A bully can be seen advancing towards a younger, smaller boy in the school corridors.]

Boy: I'm tellin' ya Jennifer, I don't have any lunch money!

Jennifer: *marching forward* Well if you can't feed me, you will entertain me... *cracks knuckles*

Boy: Please, no!!!

Jennifer: Say your prayers, runt! *raises her fist to the boy*

[At that moment, a short, 17-year-old Filipino girl comes around the corner of the corridor, chatting with her friend named Eliza. As soon as the girl sees the sight in front of her, she is shocked and lets out a gasp.]

Eliza: Woah!

Boy: Hey! it's Kaye! Save me Kaye, please!!

Eliza: Yeah Kaye, you can't let lowlife bullies like Jennifer get her way!

Kaye: *nods*

Jennifer: Well well, if it isn't Kaye....

Kaye: You listen here, Jennifer! I'm not gonna let you run this place like you own it. If you think you can go around bullying people and mocking them, you got another thing coming!

Jennifer: Oh yeah, and you're going to stop me?

Kaye: I won't let you bully these people any longer!

[The boy's face is filled with hope and inspiration.]

Jennifer: Bravo, bravo. Amazing speech I feel touched. Now move out of the way!

Kaye: Well, looks like i'm going to have to force you to stop!

Jennifer: Challenging me to a fight, short-stuff?

Kaye: We'll see how you like getting a taste of your own medicine!

Jennifer: Alright, you're on pipsqueak. *begins advancing towards Kaye*

Kaye: It's time to make you pay for all the people you've bullied! *walks towards Jennifer*

Jennifer: Let's go.

[Jennifer sends a solid fist to Kaye's head. Hours later, Kaye wakes up on her bed, in her bedroom.]

Kaye: Eughhh......ohhhh my headdd.......

[Kaye places her hand on her forehead and groans. She then turns to see Eliza right in front of her.]

Kaye: WAH!!

Eliza: Wakey-wakey! Gee your parents were starting to worry! It's ok, she's woken up now!

Kaye: Owww.....what happened?

Eliza: Don't you remember? That bully totally beaned ya!

Kaye: Ohhh......yeah.....

Eliza: By the way, you can thank me for carrying you all the way to your bedroom!

Kaye: Thank you, I guess.

Eliza: No worries!

[Kaye sits up from her bed.]

Kaye: Wait! The boy! I didn't save him....

Eliza: Well actually, you saved him that day.

Kaye: What do you mean?

Eliza: After you were knocked out, she went back to him to finish the job, but the bell rang just in time for him to leave!

Kaye: Really?

Eliza: Yea! Sadly, Jennifer said she would come back for him the next day. But at least you bought him some time.

Kaye: Ugh, it's not enough!

Eliza: Huh?

Kaye: I was supposed to save that boy and teach Jennifer a lesson! I must stop her!

Eliza: Gurl, she knocked you out cold with one punch...

Kaye: But...but....

Eliza: Unless!

Kaye: Yes?

Eliza: We could do a training montage! That'll get your strength up in time!

Kaye: Oh my gosh that's a great idea!

Eliza: Shall we start now?

Kaye: Let's do it! I am coming for you Jennifer!!! *jumps out of her bed*

Eliza: Awesome!

Kaye: *feels all of her pockets* Hey....damn it my wallet is gone! That devil must have robbed me!

Eliza: *chucks Kaye her wallet* Oh uhm actually that was me, eheheh sorry! *smiles*

Kaye: Grr.....

[We cut to the beach.]

Kaye: Ahh look at all the beautiful waves!

Eliza: Oye! We are not here for waves! You must run along this entire shorebank, back-and-forth!

Kaye: Ahh, i'll try my best.

[Kaye begins to sprint, but gets tired after half-a-minute.]

Eliza: Aww come on! What is this!?

Kaye: I'm...sorry.....too.....tired....

Eliza: Ugh, fine.

[They cut to free weights at the gym, where Kaye is struggling to lift up a 2kg barbell.]

Eliza: Really??

[They are then at a punching bag, where Kaye punches the bag with all her might. The bag doesn't move but Kaye nearly breaks her fist.]

Eliza: This is more dire than I thought.....i'm going to need to bring in the background music....

["Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is playing while Kaye rapidly cuts between these different activities.]

Kaye: We couldn't get another soundtrack?

Eliza: I'm sorry but this one's scientifically proven to help improve your strength!

Kaye: Alright! Watch out Jennifer!

[At first Kaye is seen struggling, however as the montage continues, her performance starts to become greater. After a few minutes, she can run the entire beach, lift a good deal amount of kg's, and accidentally broke the punching bag in half.]

Kaye: *finishing her workout* Phew! I believe I am ready. Thanks for your help, Eliza!

Eliza: Don't mention it! Now you put it to use and show that big bully who's boss!

Kaye: You got it!

[The next day of school starts, and the boy is walking across the main courtyard, when Jennifer suddenly bumps into him.]

Jennifer: Oh, my bad, little twerp...

Boy: Excuse me I just wanna get past-

Jennifer: Ah-ah-ah, we have a score to settle!

Boy: No!!

Jennifer: You may have dodged yesterday, but today i'm going to humiliate you publicly!

Boy: Please don't!!

[Jennifer drags the Boy over right to the middle of the courtyard, where a fair amount of students are chilling.]

Jennifer: You cannot run from the beating I will give you!

[A shout is heard within the entire courtyard.]

Kaye: ENOUGH!

Jennifer: Who was that?

[Kaye makes her way through the crowd and stands face-to-face with Jennifer.]

Jennifer: Oh you? Aren't you supossed to be in dreamland?

Kaye: You shut your mouth and end this bullying now!

[The crowds are murmuring.]

Boy: Do you really think you can beat her Kaye?

Jennifer: Zip it, kid! Of course she can't.

Kaye: I can, and I will!

Crowd Member: Hey everyone, Kaye and Jennifer are going to fight!!

[Soon the courtyard is filled to the brink with the entire school watching, some with their phones and cameras.]

Jennifer: Do you remember what happened yesterday? Oh wait you wouldn't remember, you were out cold!

Kaye: Today is different, I have been training!

Jennifer: A day's worth of training, oh wow i'm so scared!

Kaye: I went through.....a MONTAGE!

[Gasps emerge from the crowd.]

Jennifer: Ehhh.....i'll still cream ya.......

Kaye: It's about time someone set you straight around here!

Jennifer: Grr.....

Kaye: I will not let bullies roam this school! You got that!?

Jennifer: Ehh i'll take you down no problem, you're nothing!

Kaye: Then how about we quit babbling, I will just have to talk to you with my fists!

Jennifer: Okay, let's do this...

Kaye: *advances to Jennifer* Stick em' up, punk!

Jennifer: Ahh....alright......

[Jennifer slowly raises her fist as Kaye walks towards her. Kaye clenches her fists together as she stands in position. Jennifer's fist is noticeably shaking while Kaye remains calm.]

Crowd: Fight, fight, fight, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!

[Kaye swings hard at Jennifer, colliding with her jaw. However, Jennifer is completely still, with the punch having absolutely no effect.]

Jennifer: Uhh......okay?

[Jennifer then lobs her fist at Kaye's head. Kaye immediately crumples to the ground unconscious. The crowd gives a quiet "oooo..." and are stunned. Seconds pass in silence, then a teacher within the crowd slowly walks over to Kaye and lifts up her arm while shaking it.]

Teacher: No response, she's out cold.

[Jennifer places her hands on her hips with a smug grin on her face.]

Teacher: This means............JENNIFER WINS!!!

[The crowd then begins to celebrate like crazy, with screams echoing the courtyard.]

Jennifer: No sweat, really.

Boy: Kaye!

[The boy dashes over to Kaye and shakes her for a bit. He stops when Jennifer places her foot on Kaye's body and begins to pose for the crowd.]

Boy: You really knocked her out with one punch?!

Jennifer: Mhm.

Boy: I gotta admit, that is pretty wicked cool!

Jennifer: Hey.....thanks. You're not too bad.

Boy: Alright! You could be a great action star Jennifer! My inspiration!

Jennifer: Cheers....buddy. I won't harm you again.

Boy: Haha sweet!

[The boy and Jennifer both leave, as the crowd slowly disperses too when the home-time bell rings, leaving Eliza and the unconscious Kaye the only two in the courtyard.]

Eliza: Aww, you there Kaye? Oh what will I ever do with you...

[Eliza slaps Kaye a few times, to which she doesn't respond.]

Eliza: Damnit... Welp i'll catch you tomorrow Kaye, same place! I'm off to the shops, but don't worry, I won't be taking your wallet!

[Eliza reaches into Kaye's pocket.]

Eliza: I'll just be taking the money inside! Heheh!

Eliza: Nighty-night Kaye!

[Eliza then walks out of the school.]
