Bedroom

A computer screen shows train times from London to Manchester. A hand appears and writes down the times onto a piece of note paper.

Boy X (17) walks over to cupboard doors and opens them. From inside he takes a small box, which contains photos of him and his mother when he was a child. He begins to looks through them.

He looks over in the direction of the sound.

A pair of straighteners are resting on a stool; the ready light is flashing.

He puts the box by his bag.

Boy X sits on a stool and begins on his hair.

He stands up, walks over to a windowsill, picks up a little metal box and opens it. He takes out money, and puts the money in to a wallet.

The wallet is put into an open bag with the box of photos, which is zipped up.

He puts on his jacket and does it up.

Boy X stands facing the door and puts his headphones in.

He turns the volume up on his iPod.

Faint sounds of the computer fan.

Cupboard doors creek

Bleep.

Silence.

Clang of metal.

Zip.

Zip.

Deep sigh.

Muffled sound of music.

Hallway

Boy X walks down the stairs, throws his bag on the floor and goes towards the kitchen.

Bag hits the floor.

Kitchen

Boy X opens the fridge and looks in. On the middle shelf are Waitrose ready meals perfectly stacked and aligned for three people. On the bottom shelf are a few bottles of beer all facing perfectly forward. In the door is a bottle of expensive champagne, milk and juice. He takes out the milk.

He leans against the work surface; brother and father sit at the table eating cereal, reading papers, and chatting.

Boy Y gets up and leaves; Boy X puts his bowl on the work surface and leaves.

Faint sound of the turning of newspaper pages and the stirring of coffee in a cup.

Turning of pages and quite chats.

A chair creaks and scrapes against the floor; spoons clang against a bowl.

Hallway

Both boys pick up their bags; Boy Y opens the door and exits. Boy X follows him and closes the door behind him.

Door unlocks

Door slams shut

Driveway 

A group of boys wait at the edge of a driveway. Boy Y leaves with them.

Boy X watches them disappear down the road; he looks around; stands still.

Boy X crosses the road; walks down an alleyway opposite into the distance.

Quite chats.

Diegetic sound of the street/ outdoors.

Footsteps; diegetic sound of the street/ outdoors.
