Gang Flashback Chapter Script

Hi, everyone. I know I haven't really been that active in the club, but I mean to change that! So I wrote a script for another chapter for you guys!

The background for this chapter is sort of as thus: We already stated that she was in a gang, and this is the explanation for the who-what-where-when-why-how. Her twin sister (Who I called Yuuka but it doesn't have to stay that way) has been spreading rumors around the school that Yuuko used to be in a gang and is dangerous and a bad friend. One of the boys who is interested in her whose name we have yet to decide sits her down at lunch to talk to her about it.

[insert boy's name]: Wait? So you were a part of a gang?

Yuuko:-blushing- Not really.

[boy]: Come on! I thought I was supposed to be your friend!

Yuuko: Well...yes...

[boy]: Then tell me!

Yuuko: Fine, fine, but you have to promise not to laugh. So you know my twin sister? --picture of Yuuko standing next to twin sister, look exactly the same but Yuuko is wearing her old school uniform and nerdy glasses while sister is wearing a lot of makeup and looks even prettier than the 'pretty' version of Yuuko that she creates every morning in the bathroom. Story continues with Yuuko's narration in boxes while pictures show the flashback--

Narration: Back in my old school, I wasn't very popular at all. Actually, I had no real friends. My parents told me that it was because I never reached out, and I was too shy. They said I had to join a club. I had always loved cooking, and I had just joined the school pastry club. I worked very hard for the first meeting, baking oatmeal raison cookies, and brownie bars with cocoanuts and butterscotch and chocolate chips, and all sorts of cupcakes --shows picture of Yuuko baking-- On the way to the first meeting, I got lost.

[gang boy]: Hey, Yuuka! (twin sister's name)

Yuuko: (head whirls) Me?

[gang boy]: Why are you so late? And what's with the nerd outfit?

Yuuko: (stuttering, nervous)

[gang boy]: You got the stuff?

Yuuko: (babbling) Yes, I worked so hard all weekend to get it all done and--

[gang boy]: Well, bring it in, and then we'll let you join, like we said we would. (they go inside the old room, in the abandoned warehouse)

[gang leader]: Who is this?

[gang boy]: Yuuka

Yuuko: Um..it's pronounced Yuuko.

[gang leader]: (takes a closer look) That's her twin sister, you idiot! What are we going to do with her? Now that she knows our hideout's location?

Yuuko: Um, sorry to interrupt, but I have no idea where we are at all, I was lost, so it doesn't really matter--

[gang leader]: Shut up!

[gang boy]: (shoves her, and she drops bag of cookies. Three cookies fall out onto the floor) What are these? (takes a bite of one) 'ay, boosh, try'um (mouth is full)

[gang leader]: swallow, you idiot!

[gang boy]: --GULP- Boss, you've got to try these pastries, they're amazing!

[gang leader]: (tries one, similar look of amazement goes across his face.) Did you make these?

Yuuko:...Yes

[gang leader]: Could you make us more every week?

Yuuko: Sure! I love to cook and Mom says I really should make a lot of new friends so I would love to stay with you and bake cookies for you!

--FLASHBACK ENDS--

[boy]: Wait, so you joined a gang to bake cookies for them?

Yuuko: ...Yes?

[boy]: (puts his hands over his mouth to muffle his laughter) That....is....

Yuuko: Stupid. I know.

[boy]: I was going to say amazing. Amazing and hilarious! Like you. You're just so...unique. And amazing.

Yuuko: Not really. Yuuka is the same as me, but better in every way. I wish I were like her.

[boy]: Not everyone thinks so?

Yuuko: -laughs- Like who? Who would be that crazy?

[boy]: (to himself) I am. (outloud) Can Yuuka make cookies?

Yuuko: I don't know. She usually has better things to do than cook. Most of the time I do the cooking around my house.

[boy]: So...um...is there any chance...um...could-you-bake-me-some-cookies? (says it really fast)

Yuuko: -laughs- Sure! I love to bake!

(Yuuko walks off happily, see her in her uniform walking away, see boy's thoughts: Yuuko is so much kinder than her sister. She would never say 'no' to anyone. Maybe she can be a bit spazzy at times, but she's the only person I know who has so many talents but doesn't see them in herself. I think I love her...)

I know it's not much, and it's very rough, but if you guys like it we can use it. Thanks for reading!

FIRST PART OF SCRIPT \(O.O)/

This is the first part of the script I created. The -- lines mean the actions. When it says (thoughts) that speaks for itself. Tell me the changes you want me to make:

Mom: Yuuko!!! You’re gonna be late!!!

Yuuko: Coming mom!

-Yuuko is wearing her uniform with glasses: nerdy girl with brown hair and really big brown eyes-

Mom: I can’t believe you are going to [insert school name]!!! It’s supposed to be a very hard school to get in to let alone transfer!

Dad: I know that you just decided to focus on your school work and not be part of that gang anymore so remember your goal, okay?

Yuuko: Of course, father!

Dad: Oh and Yuuko? –Yuuko turns around- Have fun.

Yuuko: -smiles softly- yeah…

-When Yuuko walks out of the door she looks up at the sky and puts on a determined smile-

Yuuko: Alright! Let’s have a successful year!!!-as she says this has the “fist”-

-Yuuko starts walking and as she gets closer to the school she notices that all the girls are pretty and the boys are super handsome. She freezes and then stress lines appear on her as well as the sweat-drop. She runs really fast and she encounters a boy with black hair and golden-brown eyes that looks like he just rolled out of bed. He eyes her with disinterest. Yuuko stops and her eyes her messed up hair. She sees him and grabs his shirt-

Yuuko: Where’s the bathroom?

Boy: It’s down the hall and on your left. Are you…(was going to say “…the new transfer student?)

-Before he could finish his question, Yuuko runs off-

Yuuko: (thoughts) He looks familiar somehow…

-Boy looks at her strangely and walks off into classroom-

Teacher: You’re not the transfer student, [insert boy’s name]. Where is she?

Boy: I believe she went to the bathroom.

Yuuko: (in the bathroom, thoughts) Oh my gosh that was embarrassing! I can’t believe all the pretty girls and cute boys! I expected them to be all nerds since it was such a prestigious school academically. Well, that’s the least of my problems. What am I gonna do with this hair?! Luckily I brought some make-up just in case but I never expected I would need make-up!

-applies lip stick, takes off her glasses, and puts her hair in a low ponytail on the side. She untucks her shirt and looks at her reflection in the mirror-

Yuuko: It’ll have to do for today. Tomorrow… -sweat-drop- MY PARENTS ARE GONNA KILL ME IF THEY SEE ME LIKE THIS!!! (thoughts) I’ll just bring my make-up and do it at school. That’ll work.

Random Drawing of Roxas from KH2

Hey everyone! I'm still trying to think of ideas for our manga, but in the meantime I thought I'd upload this drawing I did over break. Ignore the writing, it's not really important. I just couldn't photoshop it out. In case you've never played the video game, this is Roxas from Kingdom Hearts 2. I actually copied this from a picture I found over the internet. Sorry it's really light, I didn't have time to go over it in pen. Yeah, so... ta-da! Can't wait to see everyone's ideas for the manga! Hm, we should think of a title. I'm so excited!
