One-act play

Phew! We have to make this story for English. Oh boy...
This is entitled "The Provincial Son". Of course it's supposed to be "The Prodigal Son", but it's getting old... Anyway, one of my classmates suggested this story, and we all liked it so we decided to use it. Here it goes!

There was a young boy by the name of Blue*. Blue was very obedient to his parents, and he was hard-working and smart. One day, he won a scholarship to a good school in the big city. His parents were proud of him, and Blue was happy, too. He even made promises like he'll be a hard worker in the future. Then, he packed up and went to school...There, he was ignorant of the things around him, like cellphones, iPods and mp3's, etc... Blue met two "nerdy" girls, namely Silver* and Red* in class. Well, they were the only ones nice enough to even notice him. For a while, these three hung out together. Their past time would be reading and exchanging notes in the library. Weeks later, when Blue's classmates started warming up to him, three boys named Black*, Gray* and Pink* were flunking hard in class and they wanted Blue to help them out...By help I mean cheat. These three managed to talk Blue into going with them. Blue accidentally ditched Silver and Red and went with them. The three boys took Blue into a bar and they started drinking and smoking and stuff. Because Blue was still ignorant with these things, he tried them out. He immediately got addicted to them... Blue thought that his life was so much better. The next day, he woke up with a bad headache but still went to school. He told Silver and Red about it, and they were shocked. They both explained to Blue how bad it really is, but he didnt listen. His head was too blunt to even process everything. anyway, they kept doing that thing every night... On days where Blue would go home, he always rebelled and disobeyed his parents... Blue was also gradually flunking. One day, the teacher talked to him in private. She told him that his scholarship was now gone because of his failures. Devastated, all the promises he made flooded back to him... When he told Black, Gray and Pink about it, they just made fun of him and laughed at him. Black told him how pathetic he was and how he was now useless to them. Upset, Blue went off and reflected on what he had been doing. The next day, Silver and Red noticed how depressed he was...He told them all that had happened, and they sympathized with him... He asked if anything could be done to fix his life. They said that there was nothing they could do about the scholarship, but they told him of someone who could fix his life and set it straight again. That person was Jesus. They told him about it and he accepted. Later, when Blue was going to go home, Silver and Red saw him off, and he met his parents again...He apologized to them and explained what happened...His parents already knew everything because his teacher called. They told him: "whatever you have done, whatever you have become, it doesnt matter. We're just happy you're safe."

notes:
  • The names here are obviously not the names I'm gonna use. They're just representing the characters.
  • I guess this story is final. I'll be adding a few things, I think. Hehe, that's all!
