INT. CLASSROOM – DAY
SCOTT sits alone off to the side of the classroom. He
wears a jumper and is on his phone. He looks up and we
see DAVE and GREG. They are sat in the middle of the
room. Scott is too nervous to go and talk to them. He
shies away from everyone, remaining where he is.

INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT

Scott is on the computer, looking up ‘how to be more
confident’. He wears baggy clothes. He finds an article
on exercise and sees a picture of someone doing push ups.
He tries to do a push up but fails, falling to the
ground. He breathes out, music starts.

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

Scott sits alone again. He looks over at Dave and Greg,
tapping his foot. He goes to stand up but stops himself

INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT

Scott on computer again, ordering a bench and weights.
Then he is doing push ups again, still struggling but
doing a few.

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

Scott takes a deep breath and stands up from chair, takes
a step then hastily sits back down again.

INT. HOME GYM – NIGHT

Scott is lifting weights. There is a sequence of him
lifting, but he doesn’t use much weight. He is wearing
slightly baggy clothes.

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

Scott stands up and takes a few steps forward this time.
But he stops, and walks backwards to his chair, putting
his hands behind him, which then cuts to…

INT. HOME GYM – NIGHT

…Scott doing tricep dips on bench. More of him working
out and doing more push ups now, wearing nicer clothes.
The weight he is using is increasing as well. He now
wears a vest.

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

Scott sits in his usual place. He looks over and sees
Dave and Greg. Taking a deep breath, he stands up and
walks over to them.
