Two 15 year old girls, Steph and Rachel, in school uniform are sitting on a wall. Rachel is reading a magazine and smoking a spliff while Steph fidgets nervously. Steph is fixating on Rachel, who is oblivious at first, and grasping a school report. Rachel says “Bet it’s the first time you’ve been on one of those!” Steph fails to reply which causes Rachel to respond “You have to take it to every lesson you know?” Steph replies in a slight, smug manner “Yeah, if I was actually going to any!” Following this, she screws up the report and throws it on the floor.
Eventually, she shifts towards Rachel, who looks up and catches Steph looking at her. She says “do you fancy me or something?” causing Steph to quickly retort with “What?” Rachel lets out a slight laugh, “You’re staring at me as if you do!” Rachel continues to wind Steph up. “Why you moving around so much? You on something?” Steph innocently asks “On something?” Rachel jokingly replies “Yeah, like drugs! Do you want some of this?” Rachel extends her arm, offering Steph the spliff; Steph declines. “You hungry?” Steph takes a few seconds to think of how to reply to the sudden topic change. “Yeah, I didn’t have any breakfast.” Rachel rummages through her bag and pulls out a £5 note. “Here, take this and get yourself something. Get me a packet of fags too.” Steph nods reluctantly, takes the £5 note, crosses the road and walks towards the shop.
Rachel is left sitting on the wall alone. She notices a car pull up near her. From the way the car is parked it isn’t possible to see clearly who is inside. She picks up her can of drink and takes a sip while stubbing the spliff against the wall.
Inside the shop, Steph edges around and looks at the magazines. She discreetly turns her attention to behind the counter, where the cigarettes are, before reverting back to the magazines. She picks one up and begins scanning it. Eventually, the shop keeper says abruptly, “Are you going to buy one of those?” Steph shakes her head. “I’m just looking.” Their eyes meet awkwardly before Steph looks away.
A man steps out of the car and walks over to Rachel. He pulls out a badge, tells her he’s a police officer and asks why she’s not in school. She replies smugly “I’m on a week’s exclusion!” The police officer is sceptical and asks why there are two cans of drink on the wall. Rachel sarcastically says, “I’m thristy.” He tells her he’s looking for a girl around the same age who must be playing truant because her absence from school is rare. She jumps off the wall as if she’s about to walk away. However, the police officer smells an odour in the air and asks Rachel whether she can smell it. She replies “No, maybe you just dropped one.” The police officer is peeved and asks her to turn out her pockets.
Rachel’s eyes widen as she pulls out the contents of her pockets. The police officer takes a tiny, transparent packet from her hand. It’s empty which causes him to smell it.
From inside the shop, Steph is staring out of the window, witnessing everything that’s going on. She clutches the £5 note tightly. She see’s Rachel being led to the police officer’s car before it drives away.
Steph leaves the shop and crosses the road. She looks at the two cans before noticing the scrunched up report on the floor. She picks it up and unscrews it before putting it in her bag. She walks off down the road.
