you.

Honor student (Frinces): Mostly due to because our strand is not interesting like the others.
Honor student (Frinces): But why do they have to bad talk about us? What’s with the flaw about my
strand?
Honor student (Frinces): Is this how people judge based on the things they hear?
Honor student (Frinces): It’s like… we aren’t considered as a part of this school.

Scene 1:

Intro

Rhian walks toward the classroom

Location: TVL Classroom, early morning. The classroom has a bunch of posters about tools,
technical skills, and practical stuff related to the TVL strand. Rhian, the bad boy type, is sitting at the
back of the room with his feet on the desk, totally unbothered. He’s texting, looking like he doesn’t
care about school. Jessan, on the other hand, is sitting at the front, so focused on his notes. He’s the
top student in the class, super "perfect," and always tries to show it.

Narrator (Voiceover):
So, TVL—alam mo yun, it’s a strand na madalas hindi gets ng mga tao. Akala nila, we’re just here
kasi hindi tayo makapasok sa ABM or STEM. But honestly, hindi naman. We work hard, we learn
skills na valuable, but they don’t see that. Stereotyping lang.

The teacher enters, and the room falls silent. Jessan straightens up, looking all studious. Rhian
doesn’t even look up from his phone.

Teacher (addressing the class):

Okay, class. Let’s focus. We’re gonna continue with practical applications today. Pero remember,
success isn’t just about grades. It’s about who you are and how you work.

(Jessan nods, totally agreeing. Rhian, still distracted, just rolls his eyes.)

Jessan (whispering to himself, smug):

(Talking to himself) Success is all about working smart. No wonder I’m top of the class.

Rhian (sarcastically, under his breath):

(Taunting) Hala, ang taas ng tingin mo naman, Jessan. You're so perfect, ha.

The teacher continues, but Rhian looks bored, while Jessan’s scribbling down notes like it’s his
destiny. The divide between them is obvious. Jessan's all about being the "model student," while
Rhian’s like, "whatever."

Narrator (Voiceover):
Andito si Jessan, the pride of TVL. Honor student, so "tama" sa lahat. Pero wala siya sa lugar namin,
hindi niya gets what it's like to struggle outside the classroom. Kami sa TVL, we’re not dumb. We’ve
got real-world skills, pero they treat us like we’re less. ABM, STEM—lahat sila, they think we’re
nothing. Pero we’re more than that.

Cut to ABM and STEM students talking outside the class.

Student 1 (ABM Strand, whispering):

(Whispering) Gosh, look at those TVL kids. They’re so behind. I don’t know how they even survive in
school.

Student 2 (STEM Strand, laughing):

(Laughing) They’re just doing “hands-on” stuff. But no real brains. They’ll never get anywhere.

Student 3 (STEM Strand, whispering):

(Shaking head) It’s really sad, you know? They’ll never be real students. They don’t even get what
real learning is.

Scene 2:

Location: TVL Classroom, mid-morning. Tension is building up. Jessan has had enough. Rhian’s
distracting himself again, and Jessan can’t hold back anymore.
Jessan (snapping, loud enough for everyone to hear):
(Annoyed, raising his voice) Rhian, seriously? You’re just wasting your time. Hindi mo ba gets? Some
of us actually care about our future!

Rhian (barely looking up, mocking):

(Sarcastically) Wow, Jessan. Ang taas ng tingin mo, ha. Are you like, the chosen one or something?
News flash—your grades don’t make you better than anyone, okay?

Jessan (rolling his eyes, standing up):

You wouldn’t understand, Rhian. Maybe you should stop texting and actually do something with your
life. Kasi while we're building for the future, ikaw, you’re wasting your time on your phone.

Rhian (getting up, fuming):

(Taunting) Don’t act like you’re better than me just because you have good grades. You think you
have it all figured out, but you don’t even know what’s outside this school, dude.

Jessan (mocking, standing taller):

(Smiling smugly) Oh really? Maybe if you spent more time studying and less time being a clown,
you’d actually have a shot.

Rhian (shouting, pushing Jessan’s desk):

(Shouting) Stop acting so high and mighty! Grades aren’t everything, Jessan! You think you’re better
than everyone just because you’re “perfect”? You’re just arrogant.

(The class goes dead silent as the two students continue to argue and then physically clash.
They start shoving each other, knocking over chairs, and it gets more intense. The teacher
finally notices and rushes to separate them.)

Teacher (yelling):
Stop! Stop! What is wrong with you two?

(Despite the teacher’s attempts to break up the fight, the two continue until the teacher finally
pulls them apart.)

Teacher (grabbing them both by the arms, stern):

That’s it. Both of you, principal’s office. NOW.

Scene 3:

Location: Principal’s Office. Jessan and Rhian sit in front of Principal Santos’ desk, both still visibly
upset but now a bit subdued. The principal’s expression is disappointed but calm.

Principal Santos (sternly):

What happened? This isn’t acceptable.

Jessan (defensively):
(Shouting) He started it! He was distracting me, and I just couldn’t take it anymore! I was focused,
and he was being disrespectful!

Rhian (fuming):
(Sarcastically) Oh please. You think your grades give you the right to be rude? You’ve been acting
like you’re better than everyone else. You need to chill.

Principal Santos (sighing, rubbing his temples):

(Annoyed) I don’t care who started it. What matters is that you two are from the TVL strand, and
you’re representing us. Stop acting like this when people already have enough bad opinions of us.

(Both students pause, realizing the gravity of what they’ve done. They’re both taken aback.)
Principal Santos (firmly):
You’ll both have detention. And you’ll write an apology letter. Also, you’re going to give a speech to
your class about how your actions affect the TVL strand. I’m tired of this behavior. You guys are
better than this.

Scene 4:

Location: Hallway, after the fight. The news of the fight spreads fast. Students from ABM, STEM, and
other strands are gossiping and laughing as they pass by the TVL students.

Student 1 (ABM Strand, whispering):

(Whispering) Wow, sobrang TVL. They’re always fighting. I can’t believe it. Wala na bang ibang
ginagawa?

Student 2 (STEM Strand, laughing):

(Laughing) Typical. They can’t even control their emotions. Always starting trouble. So low.

Student 3 (STEM Strand, whispering):

(Shaking head) Seriously, they’re just troublemakers. They’ll never understand what it means to be a
real student.

Student 4 (ABM Strand, judgmental):

(Smiling) Honestly, they’ll never change. That’s just the way they are. Low.

Jessan freezes when he hears some of these comments. He looks at Rhian, who notices him
suddenly quiet.

Rhian (grinning):
(Quietly, with a shrug) They’re just gonna think what they want, Jessan. It’s nothing new. They always
look down on us.

Jessan (muttering to himself, deep in thought):

(Softly) “TVL students... trouble.” Is that really how they see us?

Jessan’s face tightens, his anger mixing with a new realization. He’s starting to get it. Rhian notices
Jessan’s sudden shift in attitude.

Scene 5:

Location: TVL Classroom, the next day. Jessan walks into class, a new fire in his eyes. He stands up
in front of the room, looking determined, as the class goes quiet.

Jessan (speaking up, with resolve):

(With conviction) Guys, I’m done letting people tell us who we are. They think we’re just a bunch of
troublemakers. They think we don’t have what it takes. But we do. We’re smart. We’re capable. We’re
here for a reason.

(The class falls silent. Rhian stands up, walking to Jessan’s side, looking proud.)

Rhian (grinning, joining him):

(Confident) Yeah, we’re not what they think we are. Hindi kami pang-stereotype lang.

(The class looks at each other, feeling the energy shift. Jessan and Rhian have found common
ground.)
