Act 1 Scene 1
The curtain rises. There are four beds on the stage. Angela Baxter, Stella Morgan, Sara McHenry and Mia Oriana are sitting on Angela Baxter’s bed, the one on the right hand side. All of them are well dressed in Gallagher Academy’s uniforms with black shoes and white socks. They are chatting happily over their summer vacation.
Angela: You know it was supremely funny when I saw this little puppy in England and itwas trying to get the mosquito!( Laughing very hard.) It’s hand kept doing this(Scratching in the air with her hand.)And then when it was about to catch it, the mosquito flew away. It was so hilarious!
(Stella Morgan, Sara McHenry and Mia Oriana are laughing hardly back and forth.)
Mia: so, Sara, how was your summer?(Turning to Sara.)
Sara: Oh, as usual. We went back to grandma’s house and did the same things as before. Nothing really did happen.
Stella: Oh really? (Showing a suspicious face.) I though you said you had a crush on someone when you were at your grandma’s place?
Sara: Stella! Shh!(Trying to cover Stella Morgan’s mouth.) Shut up! I didn’t have crushes on anyone ever since I broke up with him!
Mia: Him? Zach? Zachery Gooz?
Sara: Yes. And now, nobody is allowed to mention Zachery Gooz in front of me. And also, not behind my back either.
Angela, Mia and Stella: Okay, Okay. NO more Zachery Gooz. Oops, we just said that!
Sara: Guys! Grrgh!(Rolling her eyes.)
Doormen: “Knock! Knock!” Your luggage are here! (Saying from the side of the stage.)
Angela: Okay! Just leave them at the door! Thank you!(Walking to the side stage, comes back with 3 suitcases and 2 handbags with her. Stella walks to her and gets rest of the bags. They put all of the bags on the floor, beside the bed.)
Angela: There, our bags. Let’s see, what have we got here.(Opens the black luggage and ransacks through it.) Okay, so I’ve got tons of clothes and 3 pairs of shoes and also my accessories, and wualah! My favourite story book – Sherlock Holmes!
Stella: You seriously got books for your birthday? (Rolling up her eyes while unpacking her stuff.)
Angela: Yeah, what’s wrong with that?
Stella: Nothing’s wrong.
Mia and Sara: (Chuckling and tidy up their bags.)
Mr. Nor: (Talking through a speaker.) Welcome back, my dearest students. I guess that you all have your suitcases, haven’t you? Now, would you please change into your uniforms and we’ll have an assembly at the Great Hall, 9.00 am sharp.
Mia: Aw man, assembly, again.
Angela: C’mon guys! Cheer up! Chap! Chap! Let’s go. ( Standing up, stretching.)
( Stella Morgan, Sara McHenry and Mia Oriana rise from the bed and walk to the door, sloppily. Angela Baxter walks at the last and shut the door. The curtain falls, lights dim out.)
Act 1 Scene 2
( It is the Great Hall of Gallagher Academy. At the left side of the Great Hall, stand Angela Baxter, Stella Morgan, Sara McHenry and Mia Oriana. Joe Solomon and Wilson Smith are approaching them.)
Joe: Hey, how’s your vacation? ( Turning to Stella Morgan.)
Stella: Hmm, same as usual. BORING.
Joe: Not going anywhere?
Stella: Excuse me, sir? Where do you think I could go? I am obviously trapped in the stupid mansion in a place called Texas. (Rolling up her eyes.)
Joe: Okay. (The others are chuckling at the back.)
Wilson: Hey, c’mon guys, the ‘Director’ is here, we need to get to our class.
( All of them walk to the eighth row from the left and sit at the very back row of the hall.)
Mr. Nor: (Walking up the stage and stands at the podium.) Welcome back, students of The Gallagher Academy. Summer is over and now it is time for school. Students, I hope that you can keep it up with your grades last year, which were really impressive. And to the 8th graders, you can now choose the subjects you like with one condition, you must at least choose 6 subjects.
Joe: Oh gosh, we have to take at least 6 subjects! That’s worse than having Mr. Nottingham class.( Slapping his head with his hand.)
Angela: At least we can choose subjects we like.
Mr. Nor: Class dismissed. Now, go to your homeroom.
( Students walk out of the Great Hall to their homerooms quietly and disciplined. There weren’t any whispering, talking, shouting, running.)

Mrs. Morgan: Now, here’s your folder, keep it real good, okay? (Gives a brown folder to Stella Morgan.)
Stella: Yes.
Mrs. Morgan: I’ll come and pick you up next Monday. (Mrs. Morgan walks away.)

Mia: What? Why didn’t you tell us about that? (Staring at Stella Morgan, shocked.)
Wilson: Why are you moving to England?
Stella: My dad got a job in England and we just got our Visa. Yeah, so…(Cuts off by Angela Baxter.)
Angela: You should have told us about this earlier! Like call us or text us!
Joe: Angela, calm down, let Stella continue.
Stella: So, I just got my new school application form and that’s why my mom came this morning.

Wilson: Guys, I think it’s time. Angela and Sara, Mia and Joe, can you please come with me?
Angela: For what?
Wilson: I have something to discuss with you guys.
Sara: Sure.
Mia: Stella, is it okay for you to go back to the room by yourself?
Stella: Sure, of course. (Smiling at them. She takes her tray to the trash can and walks out the door.)
Wilson: I think we should throw a farewell party for her.
Joe: Yeah, I think this is a good idea.
Mia: Then, when should we do it? We’re definitely staying in the school until Saturday.
Angela: But we’re not allowed to go out on Saturday, so maybe we can do it on Sunday.
Sara: (Nodding her head.)
Wilson: My brother owns a cafe in the town. We can do it over there.
Joe: We can handle the food, beverages, guests list and stuff. Oh, and also the music and gifts.
Sara: I think this will work out, but we must keep it as a secret.
Angela: Agreed.
Wilson: I can do the food and beverages.
Joe: I can do the music, if that’s okay.
Angela: And then I can handle the shows. (Raising her hand.)
Sara: Me and Mia and prepare gifts for her. (Turns to Mia and Mia nods.)
Wilson: I think this is really going to work and Stella is going to have the most memorable moment with us before she leaves.
