Love Of Money
New beginnings
When I was a kid, I was told many life stories of how a person became successful even if they came from a poor background. Some of these stories are real, some are made-up. But they all serve the same purpose — to motivate us, to give us hope and to tell us, don’t give up.
Jake
Dad, I want to become rich and I will make sure you never have to worry about anything any more
Jake's Dad(Mr. John)
I know you will son, but always put in mind every good thing has it price
Jake
What does that mean anyway?
Jake's Dad(Mr. John)
*He stands up and leaves the room*
You will know when the time comes
Jake
*Frowns*
He just keeps saying that
The door opens Gabrielle and Lucy step inside
Gabrielle
*Smiling*

*Blushing*

Lucy
*Angry*

Lucy advances to where Jake is sitting
Gabrielle

Lucy

Jake

Jake

Jake and Gabrielle leaves the classroom and approach the gate
Gabrielle
Jake have you ever wondered why our country is really poor. I know it must be a weird question but...
Jake
No... It's not well I think it's the politicians they squeeze out all we have and then give us nothing in return
Gabrielle
But not all politicians are bad right?
Jake
Well to me all of them are scum in their own different ways they may appear to be nice but they have done evil things before
Gabrielle
*Smiles*
I have to go I'll see you tomorrow
Jake
But we follow the same road it's way more easier for us to go together
Gabrielle

Jake

Gabrielle takes off running
Jake
Did I say something wrong. I totally messed up I thought this was my chance
Jake

Jake also takes off running
Wrong turn
Jake approaches the mall but Gabrielle is no where to be found
