INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY Jane, Sam, Aaron, and Molly-Rose are hanging out near their lockers. Excited chatter fills the air. JANE So, what do you think this "important announcement" is all about? AARON Who knows, but it better be worth skipping lunch for. SAM Maybe they're finally adding pizza to the cafeteria menu. A girl can dream! MOLLY-ROSE I heard a rumor that a new student is coming from Canada. JANE Seriously? That's pretty cool. Do we know anything else about them? MOLLY-ROSE Just that they're from Quebec and speak French. AARON Alright, that's definitely intriguing. A touch of international charm at our little school. SAM It's like a scene out of a movie! Imagine how different their life must be. JANE We should make an effort to welcome them. It can be daunting to start at a new school. MOLLY-ROSE Definitely! Maybe we can show them around town, introduce them to our friends. AARON I'm sure they'll be grateful for all the help. And hey, maybe they can teach us some French! SAM Oui! I could finally impress my mom with my language skills. They giggle, imagining themselves speaking fluent French. JANE (laughs) Count me in. I don't want them feeling lost or left out. MOLLY-ROSE Right. We've got to show them how awesome our school is! The announcement over the intercom interrupts their conversation. SCHOOL ANNOUNCER (V.O) Attention, students! Please make your way to the auditorium for an important announcement. SAM Well, guess it's time to find out who our mysterious Canadian newbie is. They join the excited crowd of students heading towards the auditorium. CUT TO: INT. SCHOOL AUDITORIUM - DAY The students fill the auditorium, buzzing with anticipation. The principal takes the stage, ready to reveal the new student. PRINCIPAL Good afternoon! As you may all know, we have a new student joining us today. Please give a warm welcome to... The principal pauses, building suspense. PRINCIPAL Elise Moreau from Quebec, Canada! The room erupts with applause and cheers as Elise walks onto the stage, smiling shyly. JANE (whispering) Looks like we've got some welcoming to do. They exchange excited glances, ready to make Elise feel at home in their small town school.
