2. 1
INT. GOE ACADEMY RECEPTION.
ZEN
Hello, I take it that you are
Jox?
JOX
Ye-Yeah... That's me.
ZEN puts his hand on Jox's shoulder reassuringly, to which
Jox stops being so tense.
ZEN
Don't be afraid, it's okay. My
name is Zen and I am the
principal of the Garden of Eden
Academy. We accommodate for all
young adults like you.
Zen smiles at Jox, but Jox frowns.
JOX
But I don't like to remember
that i'm not normal...
ZEN
Don't worry, youZen teleports around Jox, while Jox looks around him
trying to keep up with Zen's image
ZEN
...Are just like everyone else
here. Here you can learn to make
use of your ability that you
have learnt. Come, let me show
you around.
Zen and Jox begin to walk around the corridors of the
Garden of Eden. As they walk through the school, children
pass him, showing all types of abilities. One child holds
fire in his hand, while another creates a double of
himself and high fives himself. A girl plays with a
miniature tornado that she's conjured up. Zen and Jox
reach the basketball field.
ZEN
Go on then, go and play
basketball. You will have your
first lesson at noon, in a
hour's time. Don't be late!
Jox looks nervous, as a group of 5 basketball players look
at him as he comes along. ROCKY comes running over.
ROCKY
You must the new guy, welcome

ROCKY (CONT'D)
dude! I'm Ricky, but the others
call me Rocky. Probably because
of my power!
Rocky pushes up a pillar made of rock up to lean on. Jox
looks bewildered but impressed.
JOX
Hey, i'm Jox. I didn't think
anyone else had any powers, but
that's cool!
ROCKY
Oh yeah, what's your power?
Jox suddenly flares up and becomes a light source, light
beams off him. Rocky and the basketballers in the
background look away.
ROCKY
I admit, that's pretty cool.
Come play basketball with us!
There's me, Jordan, Daniel, Nick
and Sylvastas.
SYLVASTAS
Hey.
JORDAN
What's up?
DANIEL
Hey dude.
NICK
Hey man.
ROCKY
Guys, this is Jox. He's new
here, he's playing with us. One
rule: No powers!
JOX, ROCKY and the others all start playing basketball.
Scene cuts to Jox coming into the first class on time, as
the class is about to start. He takes his seat nervously.
