Vaughn Young (rough draft/WIP)

vaughn young is this kid who--

Scene 1- "compensation"
Fade In:

Ext. Nowhere, FL - Day
It's early morning and the sky is like that redish orange hue but the sun's
nowhere to be found so it still looks pretty depressing but in a warm sorta
sense.

Dissolves to:
Int. unnamed high school - Day
Vaughn is at a wooden table in front of his schools library. Of course my n***a got his feet up on the table too cause only n****s who eat non frosted pop tarts follow menial rules nshit

ENTER VAUGHN
i never really understood this whole school thing...well that's a lie actually,
i get it, it's just not the s**t I see bringing me where I wanna really be ya know. honestly schools more of a plan b....well [i mean] if I had a plan a it would be anyway...

[VAUGHN''S TRAIN OF THOUGHT IS IMMEDIATELY INTERRUPTED BY HIS
FRIEND LEALANI]

ENTER LEALANI
Lealani is 17, French/Japanese girl with a black bun thing as a hairstyle, she always wears black with slight hints of random colors

LEALANI
hey b***h wuts with the whole not texting back thing last night

VAUGHN
huh?...i was busy....

LEALANI
vaughn id seriously kill u if I didn't know how "worse than death" your
life already is..

[VAUGHN HALF LAUGHS AT THE JOKE]

VAUGN
yo lealani, you ever wonder why people use "good" and "bad" to explain everything

LEALANI
ah s**t, dude just shut up right now

VAUGHN
well I don't mean EVERYTHING but people always categorize s**t as being "bad" or "good"
when really that's just their opinion on the entire situation. like police officers SEE their
jobs as a way to serve justice [good] but others could see it almost as legalized homicide [bad]. whose really "wrong" and whose really "right" though?

LEALANI
uhhh...

VAUGHN
exactly...neither, s**t is all perspective, all of it is some s**t someone else defined and people went along with the idea

LEALANI
wait, but wut does this have to do with like anything at all Vaughn....

VAUGHN
im just saying thats how I feel about this whole high school/college s**t, who says any of this is the "right" path? it's all just really something someone told us was the path but--

LEALANI
--who says its not the path, I mean I've seen hella successful people go down the college path, can't beat statistics dude

[THE BELL RINGS AND VAUGHN AND LEALANI BEGIN WALKING TO THEIR CLASS]

VAUGHN
then what?

LEALANI
get a job, duh
then a family or whatever

VAUGHN
haha that's the formula huh?

LEALANI
as long as you're getting money , who really cares?

[THE TWO SOON APPROACH LEALANI'S FIRST PERIOD CLASS AND THEY BOTH STOP IN FRONT OF THE DOOR]

VAUGHN
money's definitely cool and all but I'd prioritize happiness over that without a thought

LELANI
money buys happiness dude

VAUGHN
my happiness just isn't cheap enough to buy

[THE LATE BELL RINGS]
