Voiceover from Aiden:
Hi I’m Aiden. I’m 17 and  I’m in my second year of sixth form. (Screen freezes) I’m the popular one. (the popular one appears on the screen.)  it’s the same record every day. Eat, sleep, sixth form, repeat. And occasionally the odd game of football. It’s not easy being the popular one, there’s certain  expectations you need   1. Dress nice. Good clothes are essential. 2. Be funny . nobody will care if you can’t make them laugh.  And 3. Have a girlfriend. You need to have constant  gossip 24/7 otherwise your celebrity status wont exist. I’d say I have 1&2 down but I still need to get no.3.  This is my mate Tom! (screen freezes – the wingman appears on the screen) Aka my wingman.
