SCENE ONE :
Downtown, The Texi Mex.
[ Ski, his best man Hithe, &
groomsmen Larrie, Weis, &
Mark's brother Josh are
eyeing over their menus. ]
"I think you picked the worst
place to eat before going
out all night drinking."
[ Everyone looks up at Weis. ]
SKI: That's why we left a day
in between the wedding.
LARRIE: Good idea. Gives
you some time to recover.
JOSH: I'm guessing that came
straight out of Mark's mouth.
[ Ski smiles, not seeing the
stares that are coming at him
from across the table. ]
SKI: I'm ready when you are.
[ He puts down his menu. A few
minutes later, a blonde wait-
ress in loud shoes saunters up
to the table. ]
JOSH: Can we get some beers
all around to start with?
[ He nods at the girl, pressing
out his lips while the guys
watch. ]
JOSH: Whatever you suggest
will be fine. Thanks gorgeous.
[ She walks away. ]
JOSH: I'll have her number by
the end of the meal, just wait.
HITHE: Spoken like a true Simon.
SCENE TWO :
Magic Springs Prep School.
[ Trailyn, Jai, Kiilyn, Mairya,
Billy, Chais, & Little H arrive at
the school. After Chais parks,
they start walking toward
the back door. ]
"It's suppose to be open."
[ Everyone follows Jai & Trailyn,
walking slowly down the hall. ]
TRAILYN: I don't hear any music
and no ones here.
JAI: I know it's weird. There
was all these responses online.
CHAIS: Well I at least want to
know who wasted our fucking
time.
[ He picks up his speed toward
the Science classroom.
They all enter into a barely lit
area as the door unknowlingly
locks behind them. ]
MAIRYA: Guys. Someone's there.
[ She points to a masked man
who is sitting down in front of
the room. He immediately starts
to yell. ]
"Face the wall. Hands in the air."
[ They all obey while Little H turns
around a little trying to get a peak
at the stranger. ]
"No one talk. Just listen."
[ He walks down the line, making
sure everyone is looking in the
opposite direction. ]
"Just so you know I'm serious."
[ Shaking, he brings his hand up
up & points the gun at a statue.
They are stunned as it shatters
into pieces all around them. ]
SCENE THREE :
Later, at their 1st bar.
[ Hithe, Weis, & Larrie are all
out on the dance floor while
Ski is taking a break, leaning
up against the wall.
Josh comes over to him. ]
"Why are you so quiet?"
SKI: Just thinking. With all
this planning and stuff. This
is the first time I've had a
moment to myself.
JOSH: I understand. And
Mark isn't the easy person
to get along with.
[ Ski looks up at Josh. ]
SKI: What do you mean?
JOSH: Well you know, he
has some annoying habits.
And he always wants to
be right. Anyway.
[ He hands Ski a shot off
the table next to him. ]
"After you."
[ After inhaling the liquor, Josh
leads Ski out on the dance
floor. The guys look on as he
starts to get a little too close. ]
SCENE FOUR :
Back in the classroom.
"It's Caleb"
[ Little H whispers over to
Chais who face is swept with
anger. ]
CHAIS: We know who is doing
this. We're not dumb and
when people find out. You
will be screwed.
"I said. No talking. All I am
is this huge problem to you.
My parents don't even know
I exist anymore.
Well if I'm no longer around.
Guess what? Problem solved."
[ Little H hits the wall while
Mairya starts to cry. Trailyn
speaks up. ]
TRAILYN: Please don't do this.
KIILYN: Yeah man, it's not the
right way.
[ Jai stands there, shaken. ]
"I've made up my mind already."
[ In that moment, complete silence
is challenged by the sound of the
gun going off. Everyone stands
there, too panicked to move. ]
SCENE FIVE :
[ Weis, Hithe, & Larrie are watch-
ing as Josh drunkingly moves
about over the dance floor.
Ski is trailing behind him, trying
to avoid attention. ]
"Dude chill out."
JOSH: Sorry man.
[ He stops dancing & faces Ski. ]
SKI: It's cool, I just don't want
to be kicked out of here.
JOSH: You know I've never really
had a girlfriend.
SKI: You're joking. As much as
you talk about woman.
JOSH: I'm serious. Not one. I
just sat back while my older
brothers got all the dates.
SKI: That really sucks. I'm
sorry.
[ He looks away but Josh hasn't
taken his glance off him. ]
"Let's go sit down."
[ Ski & Josh retreat to a back
bench by the bathroom. Before
Ski can say anything, Josh is
leaning over him, eyes glazed.
He closes his eyes and starts
to move toward Ski. ]
SCENE SIX :
[ Scared, no one wants to turn
around until Little H finally gains
the courage.
He sees Caleb sitting on the
ground with the gun off to
the side. H sits next to him
& he starts to cry. One by
one everyone turns around. ]
LITTLE H: It's okay. It's okay.
CHAIS: Where did you get a
gun from?
[ He comes over & the rest
stay back. ]
CALEB: I just found it, I swear.
I wasn't going to hurt any
of you.
[ He states, barely choking out
the words.]
TRAILYN: I believe him.
[ Trailyn & Mairya come over. ]
JAI: This is a little messed up
guys I'm sorry. We're just going
to let it go.
[ He looks over at everyone
& the expression on Caleb's
face. ]
CHAIS: We need to agree. Just
put the gun back wherever you
found it and we'll keep our mouths
shut. Okay?
[ Everyone agrees. Caleb unlocks
the door & they leave. ]
