Chapter 17 - Trial(2)

(Earlier, after TOP went out of the class to be judged by the student council. Class D were formulating a plan.)

JUSTIN

Guys, we need to do something about it.

KHLOE

About TOP's case… well, he doesn't look like the person who would start a fight.

JUHI

Do you think that he might be framed?

JENNIFER

By who?

JUHI

Other classes, I think.

KEVIN

SUKINI

(Juwon eyes at Kevin and Sukini.)

ABBY

This is bad guys. The midterms are approaching and this will ruin our reputation as a class. We got to do something.

ASHLEY

Haki and Clive. You were hanging around with TOP.

HAKI

Yeah, we were with TOP.

CLIVE

But we had to go for basketball practice.

HAKI

Then that leaves, Stewart, Kevin and Sukini. You were with TOP.

STEWART

We were.

JUSTIN

Then what happened?

STEWART

Those bastards from Class C started to pick on us.

SUKINI

And then you ran away.

STEWART

They looked intimidating.

JUSTIN

So we got witnesses. That would be enough to prove TOP's innocence.

JUWON

But what are we going to do if Class C has evidence against TOP?

KEVIN

What evidence? We literally saw them beating up TOP.

JUWON

You never know what dirty tricks they might pull. This is what we're going to do. Hanna will be TOP's lawyer. Justin and I will do an investigation.

KHLOE

I'm coming too.

JUWON

Why?

KHLOE

To be with Justin.

LISA

This is a serious situation. Not some play date.

JUSTIN

We're going to investigate Khloe. So just stay in class.

KHLOE

Okay.

LISA

I'm coming too,

KHLOE

Why are you coming?

LISA

I can be of use to this investigation.

KHLOE

Oh really?

JUWON

Ya! No drama. We're here to solve this case not cause more drama.

KHLOE

She started it…

LISA

I didn't start any drama.

JUWON

Justin. Let's go.

JUSTIN

Okay.

LISA

Ya! Wait for me.

(She follows after them.)

(Now in the student council.)

HANNA

I believe that TOP is innocent.

KEN

Innocent? Prove it young lady. We have the evidence which is this recording to prove that TOP is guilty.

HANNA

Well, TOP wasn't the only one involved in this. We have witnesses that can testify that he is innocent.

KEN

Witnesses?

HANNA

That's right.

JAEJUN

If there are witnesses. Then we can bring in them. Naomi.

NAOMI

Right away president.

(She opens the door as Sukini and Kevin enter the room.)

KEVIN

So, this is the student's council office.

SUKINI

So big and luxurious.

KEN

These are the witnesses.

JAEJUN

Your names are…

KEVIN

I'm Kevin.

SUKINI

And I'm Sukini.

JAEJUN

Tell me Sukini. Did TOP attack Trevor, Patrick and Steve?

SUKINI

No! He didn't.

KEN

SUKINI

In fact, those 3 were mocking my name and calling Kevin a pig. They were the bullies. And they also made fun of TOP's music tastes and made fun of his rapper.

JAEJUN

Is this true Trevor?

TREVOR

That's a false accusation.

JAEJUN

Kevin. What Sukini said is it true?

KEVIN

Yes.

JAEJUN

Then what do you say about this recording?

(The recording plays and it claims that TOP had attacked Trevor, Patrick and Steve.)

KEVIN

SUKINI

KEN

Well, do you have anything to say?

HANNA

I believe that the recording is a fake.

JAEJUN

A fake? Care to explain.
