Late afternoon, at TA.
[ Mark is preparing to leave
when there’s a knock on his
door. ]
“It’s open.”
JENNI: Hey Mark.
[ He turns around. ]
MARK: You’re back.
JENNI: Yeah, I just got off
the plane an hour ago.
Came straight here.
MARK: Nice. Me
and Ski
will be gone tonight but
Chais can’t wait to see
you. I know.
JENNI: So do you think
you can work me back
into the schedule?
MARK: Sure.
That shouldn’t
be a problem.
JENNI: Cool.
Thanks a lot.
[ Meanwhile, at Mark’s. ]
CHAIS: Jenni’s gonna be
here in a couple hours. We
need to hurry up.
BILLY: Yeah, yeah.
Did you
get ahold of any of her girl
friends?
CHAIS: Dude. I basically invited
the whole school.
SCENE 2:
Outside of TA.
[ Amber is taking a break
when she notices Karie
standing in front of the
Salon. ]
AMBER: Hey girl, how’s
your day going?
KARIE: Pretty good. How’s
your home life?
AMBER: It’s good. Why do
you ask?
[ She gives Karie a look. ]
KARIE: Isn’t it weird having
a male roommate?
I can’t
imagine the conversations.
AMBER: Not at all.
I mean
we talk about his dates.
KARIE: Oh really?
That’s
Interesting.
AMBER: Yeah. He
was just
telling me about this girl
who wouldn’t shut up the
entire time.
[ Karie laughs. ]
AMBER: Well, I gotta go.
Call me later.
SCENE 3:
That night, at Mark’s.
[ Chais is leading Jenni through
the dark hallway and into the
living room.
Suddenly the lights come on
and she sees the room is full
of her friends & classmates. ]
CHAIS: Surprised?
[ She smiles, kissing Chais.
Later on, everyone is
talking around the couch. ]
JAI: We should scare Bill
when he comes in.
JENNI: Guys.
Leave him alone.
[ They ignore her. ]
KIILYN: Good idea.
But how?
JAI: I don’t know yet.
I’ll think
of something good though.
Hey, where you going?
KIILYN: I think I see some senior
girls over there.
Be right back.
JAI: Good luck, man.
[ Jai smirks at Kiilyn as he
walks away. ]
SCENE 4:
At Amber’s
[ She joins Dyminic who
is sitting on the couch,
flipping through the
channels. ]
DYMINIC: Hey, long day?
AMBER: Yeah, something like
that. What are
you doing
tonight?
DYMINIC: Just gonna stay in
and pass out candy.
AMBER: Sounds good.
[ She lays across the couch
with Dyminic sitting on the
other end. ]
AMBER: What?
[ Amber notices his stare
as Dyminic returns his
sight quickly to the TV. ]
DYMINIC: Nothing.
Let’s find
a good movie to watch.
AMBER: Alright.
Not too scary
though. Okay?
DYMINIC: Don’t worry.
As long
as I’m right here, you’ll be
protected anyway.
SCENE 5:
Outside the Simon’s.
[ Billy arrives & attempts to
open the door but it is locked. ]
“What the heck?”
[ He goes to look into the
window when a face slams
into the glass.
Screaming,
Billy runs off the porch.
Bending over, he catches
his breath as Jai, Kiilyn, &
Chais come out. ]
JAI: Got ya.
BILLY: Yeah, that wasn’t
funny dude.
KIILYN: Oh, yes it was.
[ Jenni comes outside. ]
JENNI: Hey, you okay?
[ She rustles his hair. ]
BILLY: Yeah thanks.
JENNI: I missed you guys a
lot. It’s so
good to be home.
Well let’s get back to the
party.
SCENE 6:
The next morning.
[ Amber wakes up, noticing
it is daylight out.
Rolling over in her bed,

at the other end. ]
