"Bridges of Change: Navigating College Challenges"

SCENE 1: ENROLLMENT DAY

(The scene opens with a busy enrollment office filled with parents and students waiting in line to
fill out forms.)

Narrator: In Tagbilaran, where academic dreams come true, a group of friends unwillingly steps
into the world of BIT-IC. They have no idea that this journey will shape their futures in ways they
never thought possible.

(The group of friends, CRISTINE, KESIAH, and TRISHA, look at each other and toward the
enrollment counter; their faces express their hesitation.)

Christine: (whispering) This is so much more than our parents made us do.

Kesiah: (rolls eyes) You know, I had different plans for the summer.

Trisha: Alright, so here we are (sighs). Just let's get this over with.

Narrator: They reluctantly give their documents to the enrollment officer, who efficiently
processes them with practiced skill.

The friends share uneasy looks, realizing that their summer adventures will be swapped for
classes and assignments.

And so, the hesitant journey started. Little did they know, this was just the start of a series of
adventures, challenges, and friendships that would shape their college experience.

(The scene shifts to the friends exploring the campus, capturing the feeling of uncertainty and
the unexpected surprises that lay ahead.)

SCENE 2: CLASSROOM

(The door creaks open as CHRISTINE, KESIAH, and TRISHA step into the classroom, searching for
available seats. The class is already in progress, but there's no teacher in sight.)

NARRATOR: Their first classroom entrance is marked by tardiness, stepping into a lecture already
in motion.

(They find empty seats, trying to blend in with the on-time students. Whispered conversations
fill the air as they catch up on the lesson.)

Christine: (whispering) Perfect way to make an entrance.

Kesiah: (smirking) Well, we did warn each other.

Narrator: As they settle, the Student Government (SSG) representative, CONNEL, enters,
grabbing the class's attention.

Connel: Attention, everyone! Eyes up here, please!

(The class goes silent, focusing on Connel.)

Connel: Starting next week, everyone must wear school uniforms. If you don't have one yet, wear
a plain white or department t-shirt, black pants, and school shoes, then show your receipt.

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, no rubber shoes, crop tops, ripped jeans, sandals,
sleeveless, or anything against our dress code. Please follow it. Thank you!

(The friends exchange glances, realizing they need to adjust their wardrobe plans.)

Trisha: (whispering) Black pants and white shirts? Seriously?

Christine: (nodding) Our fashion choices just got a makeover.

(Connel continues with announcements, and the friends reluctantly adapt to changes in their
college routine.)

lesson in adaptability. Little do they know, more surprises await in the chapters ahead.

challenges ahead.)

SCENE 3: SCHOOL GATE (a week later)

(The school gate serves as the boundary between the outside world and the school, CHIRISTINE,
KESIAH, and TRISHA confidently approach, wearing their regular clothes, unaware of the
impending confrontation.)

Narrator: A week after the dress code announcement, conformity becomes a challenge for our
friends.

*The stern-faced Adrian(the guard) steps forward, eyeing the trio as they try to enter the
campus.*

Adrian: Hold on! What do you think you're doing?

Christine: (innocently) Just going to class. What's the issue?

Adrian: (pointing) The issue is you're not following the dress code! Black pants and white shirts,
remember?

Kesiah: (defiantly) We have our reasons. We're not conformists.

Trisha: (nodding) We're here for education, not a fashion show.

(The guard's expression tightens, leading to a tense argument as they defend their choices.)

Adrian: Rules are rules. Everyone follows them.

Kesiah: (sarcastically) We've heard.

(The argument escalates, drawing the attention of the Department Gov (YECPOT) passing by.)

Christine: You're just a guard in this school! You fat assh*le!!

Gov. Yecpot: What's happening here?

Adrian: (pointing at the friends) They're not following the dress code, sir.

(The friends attempt to explain, but the governor interrupts.)

Gov. Yecpot: Rules apply to everyone. No exceptions. Guard, report this to the dean.

official consequences.)

will be a defining moment in their college journey, teaching them about responsibility and the

ponder the repercussions of their choices.)

imposing desk, the weight of their actions evident on their faces. The stern dean looks
unimpressed.)

Ms. Claire: (firmly) Your behavior at the school gate was unacceptable. Disregarding rules and
disrespecting authority will not be tolerated here.

Christine: (attempting to sound remorseful) We understand, Ms. Claire. It won't happen again.

Kesiah: (nodding) Totally our bad. We'll follow the dress code from now on.

Trisha: (apologetic) We didn't mean to cause trouble.

(The dean fixes them with a stern gaze, emphasizing the seriousness of their actions.)

Ms. Claire: College isn't just about academics; it's about learning respect and responsibility. Your
behavior reflects on the entire institution.

(The friends, realizing the gravity of the situation, nod in agreement, offering contrite
expressions.)

NARRATOR: In the dean's office, the clash at the school gate becomes a lesson in humility.
Sometimes, compliance is the price of admission to a greater journey.

(The dean continues to lecture them about the importance of following rules and respecting
authority figures.)

Ms. Claire: (concluding) I hope this serves as a wake-up call. Any further incidents will have more
severe consequences.

(The friends, wanting to put an end to the ordeal, readily agree, promising to adhere to the rules
and regulations of BIT-IC.)

Christine: Absolutely, Ms. Claire. We'll be more careful.

Keisah: Lesson learned.

Trisha: (nodding) We won't let it happen again.

(The dean, satisfied with their response, dismisses them, leaving the friends to contemplate the
consequences of their actions as they exit the office.)

SCENE 5: APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

(Christine, Kesiah, and Trisha unwind in their shared apartment, holding bottles of drinks. The
atmosphere is relaxed, and the friends decide to have a "chill session," momentarily forgetting
their looming responsibilities.)

academic stress.

(The friends clink their bottles, laughter filling the room as they share stories and jokes.)

Christine: (raising her bottle) To surviving the first month of college drama!

Kesiah: (smirking) And to bending the rules a bit.

Trisha: (laughing) Cheers to that!

(As the night goes on, the carefree atmosphere is disrupted by the realization of an upcoming
exam.)

Kesiah: (suddenly serious) Hey, guys, we have an exam tomorrow.

Christine: (waves it off) We'll wing it. Chill first.

Trisha: (nodding) Agreed. Exams can wait.

(One of them expresses concern about neglecting studies, but the majority dismiss it, choosing
to enjoy the moment.)

NARRATOR: Sometimes, the immediate joy outweighs the weight of impending responsibilities.

(The friends continue their "chill session," putting academics on hold and savoring the
camaraderie that college life has brought them.)

preparation evident.)

struggles to face the reality of an upcoming exam.

(CHRISTINE squints at the questions, visibly struggling to focus. KESIAH rubs his temples, and
TRISHA stifles a yawn as the effects of the previous night linger.)

Kesiah: (whispering) I can't believe we didn't study.

Trisha: (mumbling) My head is pounding.

Christine: (grimacing) This was a bad idea.

(As the clock ticks, the friends attempt to muster answers, but their blank stares at the exam
sheets tell a different story.)

NARRATOR: The consequences of their choices are now evident on the exam paper, a stark
reminder that sometimes, enjoyment comes at a cost.

(The students around them diligently answer questions while CHRISTINE, KESIAH, TRISHA
exchange helpless glances.)

Christine: (whispering) I can't even remember what we studied last.

Kesiah: (sighs) I think we're in trouble.

Trisha: (looking defeated) Maybe next time, we'll prioritize exams over "hard nights."

second chance.

takes to make things right.
