The Fine Wines: Grapevine Showdown

NARRATOR : Shaniqua's living room, filled with tension, sets the stage for The Fine Wines: Grapevine
Showdown. Shaniqua (13, confident) arranges the table with snacks and grape juices as Jackie (13,
bubbly), Jennifer (13, fashionable), Ezra (13, tech-savvy), and Enzo (13, sporty) enter, their faces
wearing the remnants of a school day filled with drama.

SHANIQUA : Welcome, guys. Something tells me we all need a good distraction. The Fine Wines:
Grapevine Showdown begins now.

ENZO : Have any of you seen the latest Dior summer collection, oh my wow. It is to die for, I am so
looking forward to get it.

JENNIFER : Forget that Mr Christian Dior, have you seen Kylie Jenner’s new pictures on instagram, she
is drop dead gorgeous.

EZRA : Wow, all of you and money, I’m intelligently looking at the technology used for the iPhone 15
pro.

JACKIE : Okay, spill it, Shaniqua. What happened at school today?

SHANIQUA : You won't believe what went down. Remember Sarah and Mark? Well, they had a
showdown in the cafeteria.

JACKIE : OMG, what? No way!

SHANIQUA : Yes way!

ENZO : I already knew this would happen, I am literally a fortune teller.

SHANIQUA : Yeah, yeah, Hi I’m Enzo the fortune teller, let me predict your future.

EVERYONE BURSTS OUT LAUGHING

ENZO : Typical Shaniqua.

SHANIQUA : The one and only

JACKIE : I can’t see how the both of you are friends.

JENNIFER : Anyways, did you guys see the video on social media? It already has up to 2 million views.

EZRA : Wait, there's a video?

JACKIE : Well duh, news spreads fast across campus.

THEY GATHER AROUND A PHONE, WATCHING THE VIDEO, THEIR REACTIONS MIRRORING THE
TWISTS AND TURNS OF THE SCHOOL FIGHT.

ENZO : This is wild. We should do something about it. Take sides or expose the truth!
JACKIE : Hold on, let's not make it worse. We need a plan.

JENNIFER : Yeah Jackie is right let’s think about this.

EZRA : I think we should hear the story from both sides and fix their friendship.

SHANIQUA : Or add fuel to fire and make their fight even worse.

SHANIQUA : Just saying.

ALL EXCEPT SHANIQUA : SHANIQUA!

JENNIFER : From the look of things we’ll go with Ezra’s plan and diffuse the tension and uncover the
truth behind the school fight.

JACKIE : That is intense, but I think we’ll handle it like pros.

JENNIFER : We might not have a reality show, but we sure know how to handle school drama.

EZRA : And we did always do it without flipping tables or throwing grape juice!

SHANIQUA : Well, my friends, until the next Fine Wines: Grapevine Showdown. May our lives be
drama-free until then!

THEY EXCHANGE HUGS, PROMISING TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER THROUGH WHATEVER SCHOOL
DRAMA COMES THEIR WAY.

FADE OUT.
