( T&T/#6 )
‘Hanging out on campus
during summer break
That’s your great idea?’
[ Airynn stops walking
and turns toward
Tiesun. . . ]
TIESUN: Let’s see. . .
No Marisa,
No Markis
Do I have to spell
everything out
for you?
AIRYNN: Well,
thanks to your
private tutor
sessions,
I managed to
pass all my
classes this time
TIESUN: Right,
and I managed
to make it through
a whole semester
playing nice
with Miss Marisa
AIRYNN: Yeah. . .
You’re perfect
TIESUN: Whatever
AIRYNN: I’m serious
Look, I’m sure you
didn’t meet me here
just for conversation
[ Airynn starts to kiss Tiesun
& Weis comes around the cor-
ner stopping when he sees ]
[ Early morning at TA Ace &
Karie are sitting on the outside
of his truck when Amber
pulls up next to them ]
‘What’s with all
the construction?’
[ She gets out of
her car. . . ]
ACE: You haven’t
heard?
Welcome to Mark’s
“New Expansion
Project”
AMBER: His what?
[ He laughs ]
ACE: Nothing. . .
He’s putting in
a Hair Salon
AMBER: In the
middle
of the summer?
What perfect
timing [ sighs ]
ACE: Yeah, speaking
of timing. . .
[ Kyle walks up &
Amber looks at him ]
AMBER: Well, the air
conditioning is
calling my name
[ She walks away ]
KYLE: You better answer
that call then
Man, I’m really over her
hot and cold attitude
ACE: No your not
[ Ace shakes his head
& Karie laughs. . . ]
[ Airynn is walking
into his bedroom
when his phone
rings. . . ]
‘Hey baby’
TIESUN: I have
a surprise for
you
AIRYNN: What
kind of surprise?
TIESUN: Well, we’ve
been dating awhile
now. . .
AIRYNN: Yeah
TIESUN: I think it’s
about time
AIRYNN: Time for
what?
TIESUN: Tonight
you finally come
over. . .And meet
my parents
AIRYNN: Uh, I’m
not sure that’s a
good idea
TIESUN: What, you
are my man right?
AIRYNN: Of course
TIESUN: I’ll see your ass
at seven then
[ She hangs up. . . ]
[ An hour later, Airynn
is laying on his bed
and the doorbell rings ]
‘Airynn it’s me,
open the damn
door!’
[ He opens the door ]
AIRYNN: F***!
MARISA: Nice welcome
AIRYNN: No, I’m sorry
babe. . .It’s just
MARISA: What, don’t
tell me you forgot?
AIRYNN: No, I haven’t
MARISA: Come on then,
we’re going to be late
And what are you
wearing?
[ He quickly grabs
his stuff as she pulls
him out the door ]
[ Later that night, Weis
is waiting outside the store
when Markis walks by. . . ]
‘Hey’
MARKIS: Weis, what’s
up?
WEIS: Nothing much,
It’s just I saw something
earlier. . .that I think you
might be interested in
[ They walk over to the
side of the building. . . ]
[ At Marisa’s house ]
‘See Dad, Airynn is
not the guy you
thought he was’
MARISAs DAD: Yeah,
at least this time
I’m not peeling him
off you, half dressed
on my couch
AIRYNN: Not at all
[ Airynn starts to
laugh, but stops
when he sees her
Dad’s stern look ]
AIRYNN: Seriously
I have absolute
respect for your
daughter
[ He clears his throat
& looks away ]
[ Ace & Karie arrive
in Larrie’s basement ]
‘Hey Grinch!’
[ Larrie rolls over ]
LARRIE: Damn,
I really need a
lock for that door!
ACE: Yeah, you should
get up and go eat
with us. . .You know,
get out of the house
LARRIE: Third wheel
to you & Barbie?
I think I’ll pass
ACE: Fine, whatever
man. . .
Sit in your gloom
[ Airynn kisses Marisa
goodnight and walks
out the front door/
Stunned he notices
someone sitting in
the passenger seat
of his car. . . ]
‘What are you doing
here?’
TIESUN: Did you forget?
Me & Marisa did
a project at this
same house
Real nice family
[ She gets out and
starts walking ]
AIRYNN: What the hell
are you doing?
[ She turns around ]
TIESUN: Oh, it’s real
simple Airynn. . .
I’ve waited long
enough
Either you go in there
right now and tell
that bitch it’s
over. . .Or maybe
I should just tell
everyone myself
[ She starts walking ]
‘Wait, Tiesun’
AIRYNN: Just chill out
I’ll tell her now.

[ In the middle of the
previous night, inside the
store’s break room. . . ]
‘Considering you’re half
the staff here. . .
Shouldn’t you be helping
your customers?’
AIRYNN: Oh, my bad
I thought that’s what
I was doing
[ He grabs her waist ]
TIESUN: Not so fast!
You didn’t tell anyone
about our hook up at
the party, did you?
AIRYNN: Now why
would I wanna do
that?
TIESUN: Hmm, I
don’t know. . .
Maybe to brag to
your friends that
you half nailed
a black chick?
AIRYNN: Well, I
wouldn’t have
to brag
TIESUN: Please,
And I know I’m
not the only girl
you’re fucking
around with
AIRYNN: Oh, how do
you know that?
TIESUN: I can tell
. . .But don’t worry
you’re not the only
one who can keep
a secret
[ She puts her finger
to his lips. . . ]
AIRYNN: Oh, I see
Now how about
we get started
on that other half
[ She hits him and
he laughs. . . ]
[ Back up front, customers
are going through self-
check while Markis walks
by the window. . . ]
[ on the phone ] ‘Hey
man, it’s almost light
out. . .Are you coming?’
MARKIS: Alright hurry, bye
[ walking back ] Hey,
can I help you?
MALE SHOPPER: Yeah,
where’s the popcorn?
MARKIS: Try aisle five
MALE SHOPPER: Thanks
[ The customer walks
away just as Trae
and D’Ondrae arrive ]
D’ONDRAE: Is it safe?
MARKIS: Yeah, it’s
cool
D’ONDRAE: Alright man,
here [ hands him
cash ]
[ Markis pockets the
cash and then
hands him a bag
from his jacket ]
MARKIS: OK, get
out of here!
[ He sighs as they
both leave. . . ]
[ In the back of the
store Airynn is unlocking
Mark’s office door. . . ]
[ Going through the
security screens he
sees Markis handing
off the bag. . . ]
AIRYNN: What is this?
[ Morning a few days later
Weis is hanging out in
the dorm and Joh walks
in. . . ]
JOH: I swear I just
slept through half
that lecture
WEIS: Really, you
swear?
Isn’t that kinda
anti-Christ
of you? [ laughs ]
JOH: You know
what I meant,
dude [ sighs ]
WEIS: Speaking
of that. . .I was
wondering why all
the spiritual hooky
lately?
JOH: I don’t know,
I’ve been thinking
of backing off for
awhile
WEIS: Oh, and what
will you do with
all your extra time?
JOH: Well, I heard
the frats start taking
pledges for next year
soon
WEIS: You’re joking,
right?
JOH: It’s just an idea
Anyways, whose that?
WEIS: This new guy,
Landyn
JOH: You just started
here, and you’re
already talking
to someone?
WEIS: Well, not
exactly dude
He’s not a
college student
JOH: I see, how
old is he then?
WEIS: Mid twenties
JOH: Earth to Weis,
Are you trying to
get someone else
locked up?
WEIS: No, I’m sixteen
now. . .I can legally
do whatever I want
JOH: Right, but still.
That's super weird. Anyway,I'm wasting my breath withyou.
[ A couple buildings away,
Airynn is talking to his
girlfriend Marisa before
class. . . ]
MARISA: Where were
you last weekend?
AIRYNN: I’m sorry, babe
After I covered for
the party. . .I spent
the next day studying
I’ll make it up to
you tonight, I promise
[ He kisses her, and
she walks away. . . ]
[ At the store, Kyle
is coming back
from break. . . ]
KYLE: You need
some help?
MONICA: Yeah, this
must be the wrong
brand of sugar
KYLE: Oh, well I
can go check
that for you. . .
MONICA: Well, thanks
KYLE: No problem
[ Monica smiles, and
he walks off. . . ]
[ Larrie and his sister
enter the store and
Ace sees them. . . ]
ACE: Well, you’re the
last person I’d
expect to see out
and about this early
LARRIE: Trust me,
I’d rather not be
ACE: Let me guess,
you’ve reached the
bottom of the bottle?
No wonder your not
in your normal
drugged out haze
LARRIE: Well, I’m
sorry we can’t all
be managers with
college degrees and
live up to your
sickening high
standards
ACE: What?
Sorry I was just
messing around,
man
[ Larrie ignores him
and walks away ]
[ Inside Marisa’s class ]
‘Hey, I’m kind of
new here. . .
Would you
maybe wanna
tackle Wilson’s
project together?’
MARISA: Yeah sure,
I’m Marisa. . .
What’s your name
again?
‘It’s Tiesun, nice to
meet you [ smiles ]
[ 5 minutes later, Airynn
is outside the door
and Marisa comes out ]
AIRYNN: Hey, how
was class?
MARISA: Fine, I
just got assigned
another huge ass
project though
AIRYNN: I’m sorry
MARISA: Thanks,
at least I have
a partner this
time
AIRYNN: That’s good
[ He puts his arm
around her. . . ]
AIRYNN: So, what
you wanna do
tonight?
[ Airynn and Marisa
walk away as
Tiesun watches from
the classroom door ]
