2:37 Page #6

Synopsis: A contemporary, ensemble drama telling the complex tale of six high school students whose lives are interwoven with situations that so many of today's youth are faced with. The story takes place during a normal school day. At precisely 2:37 a tragedy will occur, affecting the lives of a group of students and their teachers. As the story unfolds, the individual stories of the six teenagers are revealed, each with its own explosive significance. An unwanted pregnancy unravels a terrible, dark secret; all is not as it appears for the seemingly confident school football hero; an outcast must deal with everyday taunts from his peers; a beautiful young girl battles an eating disorder; a stellar student constantly struggles to win his parents' approval; while another uses drugs to escape from his own demons.

...God, that was a stupid idea.

That didn't work either.

So now the only thing

that I can really do

is pack the same pair of trousers

that I'm wearing that day

and underwear

and then take them to school

and... yeah.

That... I suppose that works, but...

...some days I go...

I wet myself more than once,

and it's frustrating.

It's embarrassing.

MELODY:
Sure, we think

we have family and friends.

But when stuff happens...

...when really serious

stuff happens...

...you just feel so alone.

And you can't tell people.

I mean, they'll probably listen.

But they don't know everything.

In fact, they don't know anything.

There's just...

some stuff you can't share.

So, what do you do then?

GIRL:
He is really beautiful.

Which one?

Luke.

I know you think he is.

Yeah, he is.

So, um...

...would you, uh... would you f*** him?

Sorry. I mean, um,

would you give him your virginity?

So, did you hear Michael's

back in hospital?

Yeah, I... I heard.

SARAH:
Slut.

F***ing b*tch.

Don't worry about it.

No. Who the hell

does she think she is?

Seriously, don't worry about it.

Anyway, I gotta go.

OK, well, I'll see you at 4:00?

Yeah.

SARAH:
I can't believe it.

She was right there with it.

Well, what was it?

It was positive.

F***.

So she's pregnant?

Wait. Sarah, tell me

exactly what happened.

She stopped and I... and I saw her.

What was I supposed to do, huh?

Never thought she'd get a f***.

Bullshit.

Whose do you

think it is, then?

Sarah, come on.

Nah.

Don't do this to me, Sarah.

You don't understand.

She's with him more than I am.

Look, he loves you.

You know he does. This is stupid.

You do this every time!

Look, it's his. I know it.

Slut.

F***ing b*tch.

MELODY:
Don't worry about it.

No. Who the hell does

she think she is?

Hey, babe.

I gotta go.

Oh, babe. Just a minute?

Sorry.

SARAH:
God, they were all

so jealous of Luke and I.

He had his pick of every girl

in the school and he chose me.

It's not like I tried

to trick him or anything.

I didn't.

I can trust him. I know I can.

But girls can be so bitchy,

and, frankly, they'll do anything

to get what they want.

It's not always the guy's fault.

STEVEN:
At home I've got

this list of, um...

...all the football greats,

like Beckham and Ronaldo

and Zidane and all of them.

One day I'm gonna be on that list.

STEVEN:
And this is

Steven's comeback game.

He's been out for about a year

with a leg injury now,

and what an important comeback game

this one is set to be.

He's just gotten

his first touch of the game

and it looks to be a good'un -

interception at the halfway line.

He takes it round one defender.

Oh, skips past another

and he's gone past Ronaldo
