INT. HALLS (ASH'S ROOM) - DAY
Ashba “Ash” Haseem is sat in the bedroom, dressed in traditional Muslim clothing. Her mother and father are dressed in similar attire. Mrs Haseem is finishing hanging Ashba’s clothes in the wardrobe.
Mrs Haseem: Make sure you wash your clothes regularly, and use that conditioner that I gave you.
Ash: Yes mom.
Mrs Haseem: I don’t want you coming home at Christmas with bags full of washing, have respect for your clothing.
Mr Haseem: And make sure you eat healthy, don’t turn into one of these fast food junkies. Just because you’re at university doesn’t mean you have to slip into bad habits.
Ash: Yes dad.
Mrs Haseem: Now you remember that you have a religion to abide by Ashba. Don’t you go letting anybody corrupt your morals, do you understand!?
Ash: Yes mom.
Mr Haseem: No drinking, no drugs, no boys, is that clear?
Ash: Yes dad.
Mr Haseem: I don’t you want you coming back some teenage delinquent! We’ve paid good money for you to come here and become an accountant! Don’t you let us down.
Ash: I wont dad!
Mr Haseem: You’re uncle Suki has kindly offered you a job, don’t disappoint us.
Ash: I said I wont!
The sound of Mary shouting out to Karl in the coridoor can be heard from Ashba’s room.
Mary: (Loud) And I’m ****ing finishing it! Now go! And if I catch you wanking off to Razzle I’ll shove the ****ing magazine you’re throat, d’ya hear me!?
Mr and Mrs Haseem look at one another in disgust.
Mrs Haseem: What kind of talk is that!?
Ash: It’s nothing I haven’t heard before mom.
Mrs Haseem: Even so, you shouldn’t be subjected to that kind of foul language.
Ash: It’s fine mom…
Mr Haseem: I don’t want you hanging with gutter mouths like that, do you hear me?
Ash: I’m sure they’re very nice people dad…
Mr Haseem: I doubt that very much. You stay clear of them, I don’t want them being a bad influence on you Ashba.
Ash: I need to have friend’s dad!
Mr Haseem: You’re here for an education, not to make friends.
Ash: Dad!
Mrs Haseem: Don’t argue with your father Ashba!
Ashba’s father looks at his watch.
Mr Haseem: It’s time for us to be leaving now Ashba, we must get back to pick up your younger brother from his tutoring.
Ash: Right, off you go then.
Mrs Haseem: You make sure you phone me every evening okay? And if you need money, just ask.
Ash: Thanks mom…
Mr Haseem: And remember everything we’ve said, don’t you go turning wild now you have some freedom. You’re a young woman now, act responsibly.
Ash: Bye dad.
The three of them hug one another and say their goodbyes before leaving. Ashba waits for the flat door to close, before she pulls off her Hijab. She picks up a box from under her bed, and opens it, pulling out some fashionable clothes. She shakes her head in disbleif at her parents.

EXT. STUDENT HALLS – DAY
Micky Murphy is still lying against the brick wall getting off with a girl. He seems to be a good kisser. He pulls away. A cheeky grin on his face.
Micky: So then, you gonna come upstairs and...?
The girl slaps him hard around the face.
Girl: What kind of a girl do you think I am!?
Micky: Well if you’re using tounges on a first kiss, I’d say easy…
Horrified by his rudeness, she slaps him once more before storming off.
Micky: You’ve got my number, give me a call yeah?
Micky licks his lips, laughing it off casually. He walks around the corner and passes James “Weed” Rodgers, a scruffy looking 27 year old, stoned off his face.
Weed: Dude, wanna buy some spliff?
Micky: No right now bud
Weed: Come on, I’ve got bags full…
Micky: Maybe later.
Micky walks off, leaving Weed to harass another student. Micky sees a couple of girls struggling to carry a few boxes into their block. He walks over confidently, hands in his pockets, a grin on his face.
Micky: Ladies, need a helping hand?
The girls look at one another, unimpressed by his arrogance.
Girl 1: We’re ok thanks…
Micky: You sure, you look like you’re struggling…
Girl 2: We’re fine…
Micky: Honestly…pride…
Girl 1: You what?
Micky: We all know girls aint made for carrying heavy bages, it’s man’s work. I’m a man, let me do it for you.
Girl 2: You fancy yourself a bit don’t you?
Micky: Of course, do you blame me? Look at me – sex on legs.
The girls laugh at one another, unimpressed.
Micky: Oh come on, don’t be modest, you know you want it.
Girl 1: Not so much…
Micky: Ooo, hard to get, I love it. The thrill is in the chase as they say….look they don’t call me 9 inch Nigel for nothing…ah now you’re interested…
Girl 2: We never said we wasn’t…
Micky: All that talk about size not mattering…then the first talk of 9 inches and you’re there…
Girl 1: We haven’t said we’re going anywhere…
Micky: Oh come on, I’ve got cheap vodka, Jonnies, and a plasma tv, what more can a man offer you?
Girl 2: Help us with our bags and we’ll see…
Micky gets his hands out of his pockets and rubs them together in glee.
Micky: Now we’re talking! Come on ladies, pass them here!
The girls hand Micky their bags, he almost collapses with the weight of them.
Girl 1: Oh come on, thought men could carry heavy bags…you are man enough aren’t you, cus if you’re not…
Micky: No…I’m fine (he clealry isn’t)
Girl 1: Good, cus when you’ve carried them, there’s another car’s worth in the car park.
Micky: You what!? How much do you need!?
Girl 2: I’m sure we could ask them strapping young lads over there to help us.
Micky: No! No need! I can handle it! Course I can handle it!
Girl 1: Come on then, we aint got all day.
Micky: God, you strike a hard bargain ladies, but you’re worth it I guess.
Micky follows the girls into their block with their bags.
Micky: I tell ya, you don’t know how lucky you are. Once you’ve been with Micky Murphy, you don’t want to go anywhere else.
Girl 1: I thought your name was Nigel?
Micky: Yeah, that’s just a nickname darling, do I look like a bloody Nigel!?
The girls laugh with Micky as they walk inside. Micky has a grin plastered on face, having managed to pull the pair of them.

INT. HALLS (REESE’S ROOM) – DAY
Reese Davis is sat on his bed, snogging his girlfriend Kelly. The pair are savouring their last moment together.
All of a sudden Reese’s mother, father and younger brother Luke walk into the room carrying boxes. His father coughs to get their attention. They pull away from one another, embarrassed.
Reese: Sorry…
Mr Davies: Don’t be, making the most of your last moments eh?
The pair look at one another, upset.
Reese: (Upset) Something like that…
Mrs Davies: Well I think that’s the last of your stuff…
Mr Davies: You never guess what we just saw in the car park, disgusting…
Kelly: What?
Luke: Some old dude wanking off to Razzle, it was sick man!
Mrs Davies: (Embarrassed) Yeah enough of that. Let’s leave these two to it, shall we?
Mr Davies: We’ll wait for you at the car Kelly, okay?
Kelly: Thanks Mr Davies.
Mrs Davies walks over to Reese, tears welling up. She hugs him, Reese’s father and brother follow, they all say their goodbyes before leaving. Reese and Kelly are left alone.
Reese: I’m gonna miss you so much.
Kelly: I’ll miss you more.
Reese: This is crazy, why the hell am I leaving you? I don’t want to…
Kelly: You’ve gotta do, what you’ve gotta do babe.
Reese: Yeah but give it a few months and you’ll find someone else and I’ll…
Kelly: No I wont. Don’t be so stupid, I only want you babe.
Reese: Oh Kelz…
Kelly: Look I’ll be down whenever I can to come visit…
Reese: Yeah and I’ll try and come up and see you aswell…
Kelly: There you go then, don’t worry, it’s not like you’re moving half way across the world.
Reese: Might aswell be, still wont get to see you every day.
Kelly: Absence makes the heart grow stronger.
Reese: Yeah and makes you ****ing love sick like hell…
Kelly: You’ll be too busy having a good time to think about me Reese…
Reese: No way, I’ll be thinking about you all the time.
Kelly: You say that now, but half a bottle of vodka later you’ll be enjoying yourself.
Reese: It wont be the same without you.
Kelly: No, but we’re gonna have to deal with it babe aint we? You just make sure you don’t go pulling any hot girls whilst I’m away, d’ya hear me!?
Reese: Of course I wont! I’d never!
Kelly: (Jokes) Or any guys, I’ve heard the stories, lads go to uni straight and come back gay
Reese looks suddenly uneasy/shifty as she says this.
Reese: Don’t be so stupid, I’m not gay.
Kelly: Of course you’re not babe.
The sound of a car horn can be heard from outside. Kelly looks out of the window.
Kelly: That’s your dad, I best get going…
Reese starts to well up with tears.
Reese: Kelz….
Kelly: Tears, see you’re turning gay already
Reese gets up and kisses her passionately.
Reese: I ****ing love you! So much!
Kelly: (Emotional) I love you too.
The pair hold hands.
Kelly: Forever yeah?
Reese nods weakly, almost in tears. She kisses him tenderly before leaving. Reese bites his lips, trying to stop himself from crying.

INT. HALLS (ALEX’S ROOM) – DAY
Alex is in her room, slowly unpacking her belongings. She takes out a framed picture of her and her father from her bag. She stares at it, rubbing her thumb affectionately over her father. She looks upset.
There’s a knock on the door, and in steps Lydia Hughes, dressed in the latest designer fashion.
Alex: Come in.
Lydia: Hi sweetie, I’m Lydia, alright if I come in?
Alex: Yeah sure
Alex puts down the photo and composes herself. Lydia detects she’s upset.
Lydia: You alright? You look…
Alex: I’ll be fine. Just a bit hard you know? I’m Alex…
Lydia: I wouldn’t worry Alex, it’s only first day nerves. This time next week you’ll be all settled in and living it up.
Alex: I don’t know about that…
Lydia: Oh that’s what uni is all about darling, getting ****ed off your face and ****ed in the sack.
Alex laughs nervously, unsure of what to say about this.
Alex: I wouldn’t know…
Lydia: You sound local, you from around here?
Alex: Yeah, Southampton born and bred.
Lydia: Fab. Sweet deal, you’ll be able to show us all the sights then. Starting tonight with some of the clubs!
Alex: Well I’m not much use there, I’ve never been clubbing...
Lydia: You what!? You joking me!?
Alex: Never really had the chance to…
Lydia: You’re telling me you’ve never drank!?
Alex: No
Lydia: D’ya Smoke?
Alex: Nope
Lydia: Drugs?
Alex: God no.
Lydia: Yeah but you have sex right?
Alex looks at Lydia awkwardly.
Lydia: God you’re a virgin aren’t you!? Bloody hell Alex, you’re a right little miss perfect aren’t you?
Alex: Guess so!
Lydia: Well don’t worry darling, cus you’ve got me now. Lydia Hughes – Buckinghamshire’s answer to Paris Hilton. I’ll show you a good time.
Alex: Oh I don’t know…
Lydia: Tonight Alex, you will learn how to party!
Alex is clearly uncertain about the whole clubbing experience. Lydia however is full of enthusiasm.
Alex: Cool I guess…
Lydia’s phone rings. Lydia gets up.
Lydia: Sorry, gotta take this. See you later yeah?
Alex smiles politely, overhearing Lydia’s conversation as she leaves.
Lydia: Someone told me you could fix me up with a few lines, yeah?
Alex’s eyes bulge in surprise at hearing Lydia talk so loosely about drugs. She’s unsure of what she’s getting herself into.

INT. HALLS (REESE’S ROOM) – DAY
Reese looks out of his window, as Kelly gets into his parent’s car. The pair take one last emotional look at one another before she gets in the car and it pulls off.
He chokes up, trying to hold back the tears. There’s a knock at the door, he wipes off his tears, takes a deep breath and composes himself before turning round.
Reese: Hey…
Alex: Hi I’m Alex…
Reese: I’m Reese. Come in.
Alex: Thanks.
Reese: Excuse the mess, haven’t had a chance to unpack yet.
Alex: Oh don’t worry, I’m the same, couldn’t face it at the moment tough. How you settling in?
Reese: Not very well, just had to say goodbye to my girlfriend.
Reese tries to smiles, but his act isn’t fooling anyone. He sits down on his bed in despair.
Reese: She’s my whole life, the only good thing going for me, what the hell am I gonna do without her!?
Alex: Hey, I’m sure you’ll be ok. It’s just gonna take a bit of getting used to that’s all…
Reese: I’ve failed at everything apart from her, god I don’t even wanna be here…
Alex: Of course you do, you wouldn’t have come all this way otherwise.
Reese: No. My parents want me to be here. Can’t do anything right in their eyes. So here I am, stuck here, alone.
Alex: You’re not alone, you’ve got all of us lot…granted they all seem a bit mad but it’s only first impressions…
Reese: Yeah. God, look at me, spewing my feelings out to you, you don’t even know me. Sorry…
Alex: No, it’s okay, I’m sure you wont be the only one. Look if it’s any consolation it’s clear you love your girlfriend…
Reese: Yeah I do, totally…
Alex: Well if she loves you as much as you love her, I’m sure everything will be ok. If there’s one thing I believe, it’s that true-love never dies. You two being apart will only make you stronger…
Reese: Yeah I guess so…
Alex: Lydia’s talking about us all going out later, not really my cup of tea, but it should be alright, getting to know everyone one, take your mind off your girlfriend for a couple of hours…
Reese: Yeah that’ll be cool.
Alex: And don’t worry okay? If you need someone to talk to, my room’s only down the hall
Reese: Thanks
Alex: I’ll leave you in peace; best say hi to the others.
As Alex leaves Reese receives a text from “Josh”.
"Hey sexy. Will miss u lots : ( X”
Reese holds the phone close to his chest, feeling uneasy. What is he hiding
