Reading: Scene 8 a) How do you think the story ends? What would you do in Carly’s shoes? b) Listen to scene 8 and read along. Saturday. In the Aquarius Club. Dad, Mum, Gaia and all Carly’s friends are there. The band is on the stage. Carly: I’m so happy to see you all here tonight for my 14th birthday party! Everyone cheers. Carly: You all came in the end. Thanks for being so brave. We all know about the horrible messages that were posted about me. ‘No one will come to your party.’ – ‘No one likes you.’ I even started to believe it! I didn’t feel safe anywhere. Not at home, not even in my own bed at night. I think no pupil at our school should go through that! So how about starting a ‘No Bullying’-group at our school? All cheer. Gaia: “No Bullying at our School”. If you want to join, sign your name! Everyone: We hate bullies! We hate bullies! We hate … Carly: No no! This is not about hating the bully. See, I discovered who my bully was. I finally realised they were really just jealous of my happiness, of the people I have in my life. They felt hurt and excluded. So I guess they wanted to hurt and exclude me. But really, they just want to be included and liked. So I knew what I had to do. I took my Dad’s advice. Dad: That’s a first! All laugh. Carly: I wrote to my bully. It was really, really hard. But I did it. (reads her phone) ‘Hi, I’m guessing you’re mad at me ’cos I might have things or people in my life you don’t? That sucks. But bullying me isn’t the answer. You tried to make me feel excluded ’cos that’s what you’re feeling. I know now what that feels like. So I’m including you in the invitations to my party. I really hope you’ll come.’ Everyone: Wow! That is so cool, Carly! Carly: It’s sad that the person hasn’t come tonight. (Everyone looks around) I guess that would be hard to do. Carly’s phone pings. Carly: Hey everyone! Listen! I just got this message back. (reads her phone) ‘Thanks for inviting me tonight, Carly, after those horrible messages I sent. Can’t be there. But your invite means a lot. You rock. Happy birthday!’ Everyone: Yaay! Whoo-hoo! Carly: Now I want everyone to have the best time at my par-taaay! Mum: Your cake’s just arrived, Carly! Everyone: The cake, the cake! Rat Attack start to play “Happy Birthday,” the cake is brought in and everyone sings. 10 Carly calls the party off. Carly doesn’t come to her own party.
