If that's the case, it's hard to see the downside for a new writer.

FADE IN: EXT. ELEMENTARY SCHOOLYARD - DAY Recess. Gazillian kids run, play and mingle. 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL'S VOICE Ever since my teacher mentioned there are six billion people livin' on Earth, I've been feelin' kinda clausaphobic. And just my luck, I happen to have one of those looks that draw people close around me. So close that it's hard to breath. A stylish and super cute BLONDE, 10, a future supermodel, holds court with her admirers. BOYS and GIRLS eye and listen to her with star struck astonishment. 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL'S VOICE (CONT'D) No, that's not me. The blonde walks away with her admirers following, revealing behind them a group of KIDS holding hands and circling around VERONICA "RONNIE" WEBBER, 10, wearing glasses and a colorful sundress, sitting on the bench, slouched over. 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL'S RONNIE That's me, on the bench. As the boys and girls skip around her, they tease and taunt her, making goofy faces. 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL'S RONNIE (CONT'D) I really do need to find a look that'll keep twits away from me. BRANDON CLARKSON, 10, charges into the circle, breaking them up and shoving them away. The kids scream and rush off. He boots one boy in the butt to help him along. Brandon sits down beside Ronnie and rips open a package of candy. He takes her hand and pours some in.
