SCENE 1:
The Aisles, overnight shift.
[ Stuu, Tiesun, & Larrie are chat-
ting in the back break room. ]
STUU: It's been four months
exactly since Airynn basically
vanished from Magic Springs.
[ Larrie sighs, heavily. ]
LARRIE: Not this again bro.
Airynn is not missing. He's just
trying to get attention anyway
he can. It's kind of sad really.
TIESUN: At least when he was
showing up on the news we
had some idea. And now?
LARRIE: You're concerned? After
experiencing his antics first
hand I'd think you'd know
better.
[ He walks out of the room. ]
TIESUN: So what happened
when you told Weis about
the kiss?
STUU: It blew over. Pretty
fast to my surprise.
TIESUN: That's good. You're
new as it is. Don't wanna
throw fighting into the mix.
STUU: Yeah I know. I want
to keep having fun with him.
TIESUN: And what about Joh?
STUU: He's just a friendly
drunk. We all know that.
TIESUN: Yeah but are you
sure that's it?
SCENE 2:
Outside, near the school yard.
[ Mairya is walking toward an
abandoned building, looking
around she opens the door. ]
MAIRYA: See I told you it was
never locked.
[ A young male follows her inside. ]
MAIRYA: You wanted to smoke
right? I'll keep an eye out.
[ She stands by the door. ]
CALEB: You sure? I can't afford
to get kicked off the team.
MAIRYA: We're not gonna get
caught.
[ She comes closer, kissing Caleb for
reassurance & he lights up. Seconds
later, he starts to cough. ]
MAIRYA: You okay?
CALEB: Yeah, it's just a side effect.
I thought you we're gonna join
me.
[ They jump when there's a sudden,
powerful knock outside the door.
Mairya opens it & Caleb stands
back. ]
MAIRYA: Hey. What is it?
SCENE 3:
Night before, The Aisles.
[ Stuu is walking around, look-
ing for Joh. ]
STUU: I know the store is big
but you can't hide from me.
[ Joh takes his earphones out
& puts down the box he was
stocking. ]
JOH: Sorry. I've just been
doing a lot of thinking to
myself lately.
STUU: About what?
[ Stuu comes over standing
face to face with him. ]
JOH: Maybe I kissed you
for a reason. I mean, I've
only had one girlfriend.
Barely have any "sexual"
experience at 22.
STUU: So? I have none.
That doesn't mean you're
gay man.
JOH: Yeah I know.
STUU: It's just a label anyway.
Just do you Joh and don't
worry about it. I wouldn't.
JOH: Thanks.
STUU: No problem. See you
later.
SCENE 4:
Back outside the school.
[ Little H. comes inside & Mairya
shuts the door behind him. ]
LITTLE H: It's almost time for class
to start. What are you doing out
here.
MAIRYA: Just hanging out. You
know Caleb, right?
LITTLE H: Yeah, hey.
[ Caleb gives a half smile while
continuing to smoke. He hands
the joint to Mairya. ]
LITTLE H: You're smoking?
MAIRYA: It's just one hit, it's fine.
Makes class a lot less boring.
LITTLE H: I guess.
CALEB: You want some?
LITTLE H: No, I'm good.
MAIRYA: I'm gonna go find
Trailyn. You two try not to
kill each other while I'm gone.
[ She sprays herself with perfume
& then exits. Caleb walks up
to H, getting in his face. ]
LITTLE H: What's your problem?
CALEB: You. Getting in my
way with Mairya.
LITTLE H: We we're friends first
and I'm not going anywhere.
So you better just get use to
me.
SCENE 5:
Back inside TA.
[ Stuu & Zain are smashing boxes
and throwing them into the baler. ]
ZAIN: You're pretty quiet. Has
the night been that bad?
STUU: No. I just got a strange
text though from an unknown
number.
ZAIN: Really? Let me see.
[ Stuu hands him his phone. ]
ZAIN: I'm on my way to TA.
Can you meet me outside?
STUU: That's all they sent.
ZAIN: Maybe it's your man
playing a prank on you. Or
Lee?
STUU: I don't think so. I have
both of their numbers.
ZAIN: Everyone else is here.
[ They are interrupted by banging
on the back door. Stuu looks at
Zain & then starts to walk over.
Opening the door, he stands back
a little in shock at who walks in. ]
AIRYNN: Dude, I need your help.
It's about Brian.
SCENE 6:
[ Mairya & Trailyn are walking
after class. ]
MAIRYA: I've been waiting for
a whole period. So what do you
think about Caleb?
[ Trailyn shakes her head. ]
TRAILYN: I don't know. He does
have this tough guy attitude
some times.
MAIRYA: You think? He's always
been nice to me.
TRAILYN: So what happened to H
he never showed up?
MAIRYA: Not sure. He didn't
reply to my texts either.
[ Looking toward the abandoned
building, she sees a big guy
standing at the door.
Thinking, she runs over. ]
MAIRYA: What is going on?
Let me in! H, are you okay?
H!
[ She continues to yell as the
guy stands silent, blocking
her from the entrance. ]
