Log line: Kid struggles in life and finds peace through meditation.
High school senior is sleeping in a room with clothes and papers on the floor. The desk is clean and totally organized. The boys alarm goes off and he slaps it, he turns himself upright in bed. He gets up planting his feet straight on the ground and get up without a struggle or groaning. They get up and make their bed, brush their teeth and have a boring breakfast (corn flakes, one egg?). The kid has a straight face the entire time. He goes to get his mail and opens a letter from a big time college, he pins it to a wall/ board. He prints out some papers and puts them in a brief case.
He wears a suit and leaves the house wearing a suit/ good looking clothes and the briefcase. He walks at a quick pace, only slowing down to people in front of him. His eyes don't wander, he is border line robotic. He goes to a coffee shop and orders a black coffee, and doesn't add anything to it. While he drinks his coffee he over hears two girls talking about how they would cry if they didn't get into the college they wanted to. The boy takes a sip of coffee.
As the boy leaves the coffee shop he opens the door all the way and holds it until it is completely out of his way. As he walks out someone runs by and grabs his brief case, knocking his hair and glasses out of place and spilling his coffee. The boy looks over and thinks about what is in the brief case, he pats himself down, finds his wallet, phone. He brushes himself off. He looks at his watch and gets startled. He begins to walk in the direction that the thief ran towards. As he runs he remembers the thief bumping into him and overall being a nuisance.
He catches the thief almost instantly. The thief stands there clutching the brief case muttering things about how he needs money, and help and what not. The boy moves towards the brief case and the thief. And sees how scared and hopeless the thief is. He reaches over to grab the brief case and the thief shrinks back, the boy hesitates. The boy goes back with his hand open and facing up. The thief reluctantly hands over the case and the boy slips him a 20 dollar bill. The thief smiles and runs off. The boy walks off with a smile.
