(Trey walks down the Chatham hallways)
(Trey pulls out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on)
Ms. Bryant's Class (1st Period)
(Trey walks in the classroom)
Myaa: Okay, pimp!
Trey: Ha!
(Trey takes off his sunglasses)
(Lisa approaches Trey)
Trey: ...
Lisa: You know who you look like with the shades on?
Trey: Who?
Lisa: Like Pootie Tang.
Myaa: Yes, definitely Pootie Tang.
Trey: Who is Pootie Tang?
Myaa: You've never seen Pootie Tang?
Trey: Nope, never.
Myaa: I would say you look better than him, though.
Lisa: Yeah.
Trey: Hmph!
Lisa: "Wa-Da-Tah!"
(Lisa and Myaa begin to laugh)
Lisa: You gotta watch that movie.
Trey: Pootie Tang...
(Everyone begins to hear yelling in the hallway)
(Students begin to rush out of the classroom)
Ms. Bryant: Students, stay in — ahh, nevermind!
(Two girls begin to fight in the hallway as students rush out of every classroom)
(2 security guards break up the fight)
Trey: Damn!
Qadir: Everybody back in the damn classroom!
(Trey and Lisa walk back in the classroom together)
Myaa: ...
Chatham Hallway (Moments Later)
(Trey walks down the hallway)
(Lisa approaches behind Trey)
Lisa: Hey, so what happened with you and that boy that got shot?
Trey: It was stupid. Definitely didn't expect "that" to happen, though.
Lisa: Yeah, that was a little too much. You probably would've gotten expelled if the fight went on. You know you fight once and it's over.
Trey: Yeah, but putting it like that would be like saying him getting shot was a good thing. I don't know, at least he lived. I just know it won't stop him from gang hanging. He'll probably come out trying to get sol some kinda revenge.
