The Schoolmate Marko

by JANEZ from ŠENČUR

Blackmailers (Written by Janez Mohar, Bine Vidmar, Jan Zajc) At the school hall. During the lesson when some students play hooky. Alan, a thirteen-year-old student, is walking with a knife in his left hand along the main hall, and his schoolmate Luka behind him. Alan: Let's go. Be quite!!! Follow me. Luka: Wait for me! Alan (shouts angry): Shut up!!! Be quite!

Rok goes toward them. When they meet each other Rok says: Hello! But Alan don't answer but pushes him by force to a toilete. Rok (very surprised): What's up??? What are you doing??? Are you crazy!!? Help me!!!! Alan (threatening): Shut up!!! Who is crazy? Now, listen to me very carefuly, OK! Luka (too softy): Don't be afraid! Please, you just listen to Alan! Everything will be allright. Rok (very upset): OK! OK!!! I'm listening now. What do you want from me? Alan: Shut your mouth!!! We'll eat you up!!! Can you see my knife. It's very sharp. If you'll obey me, I'll not use it, I promise you. Luka: Did you understand him? Rok: OK! I think I understand you, so what do you want? Alan: You will just give me 100 euros, nothing more, and I will never touch you, I promise!

Alan: You will just give me 100 euros, nothing more, and I will never touch you, I promise! Luka: Yes, really, you'll go whereever you want to. Rok: But I don't have even one euro. Where would I get the money you want? Alan: I have enough time. Tomorrow at the same time like will be allright! Luka: You can choose! Tomorrow you will bring the money or we'll cut you into pieces! Don't make me angry! But there is also Marko in the toilete. Nobody see him. He is hidden in the next toilet, and listening secretly to them. Rok: But our conversation may be tapped. Alan: Don't worry, just do it! Marko takes away (withdraws) immediately.

Rok comes into the toilete. Alan graps his left wrist, and asks him: Have you brought my money. But suddenly: Marko, a child prodigy, rashes from the hall, falls upon Alan and punches Alan's nose: I've lost my temper, sorry! Rok, hurry up! You should bring the first teacher you'll meet. Hurry up!!! Rok runs and finds the teacher called Jolanda. Rok shouts: Teacher, please come with me! We need your help! Hurry up! Jolanda (still very calm): What's up? What has happened? Is something wrong? Wait for me! I've already gone! Rok: Alan and Luka have blackmailed me! But Marko saved me. He's my Hero!!! Jolanda: Oh dear, oh dear! I can't beelive you. Who is the blackmailer? Let's run!!! Rok, you should call the police! Rok: What number? I'm so frightened that I've forgotten the right number.

Jolanda: One hundred and twelve! You should remember it!!! Hurry up!!! At the toilete, again. It's break time so there are many other students in the toilete. Marko is standing infront the both blackmailers: They are our school blackmailers, the biggest two. Ana comes in. She's very nosy: What's up? Who has been shouting? I see! Ana: You're dirty blackmailers. You should go to prison! Ana is runnining away, now. For shure, she will tell everything to everyone all over our school. Alan: Don't be silly! I did not think so. It's just a joke. You don't have any sence of humour. Jolanda: I'll show you who has a sence of humour! Let's go to the headmaster. You could explain your joke to the headmaster. ALL: And to the police!!! Rok: Marko, thank you, You're my hero, now! ALL: Marko, you're our Hero!!!
