Main Plot: Eliza[]
(Moon walks into class and sits down next to Eliza)
Moon: You okay? You look depressed.
Eliza: I’m fine…
Moon: Okay sweetie, what’s up? You’ve been acting like this all week.
Eliza: I don’t know…I guess high school just isn’t like last year.
Moon: Well of course it’s not. Things are completely different.
Eliza: Yeah, but I don’t like change. I don’t get to see anyone anymore. After Gina and I had that fight over the summer, Chloe left me for her. Most of the friends I still have I don’t even see anymore and you and Scott are the only people I still see.
Moon: Well me and Scott aren’t going anywhere.
Eliza: I don’t know, I turned down Scott last week to hang out with you and I think it made him upset.
Moon: This is Scott we’re talking about, he’s not the kind to hold grudges.
Eliza: I just…I wish things were like last year where I actually got to see all my friends.
Moon: Listen, I was feeling a little lonely in this one class where I didn’t know anyone and I decided to take a chance and talk to this cute guy who sat behind me. We started talking and now we’re friends.
Eliza: Well I’m not that girl who will just go talk to a random guy.
Moon: What about a random hot guy?
Eliza: I don’t think so.
Moon: Well, maybe you should give it a try. If there’s one thing that will take girl’s minds off anything, it’s boys.
Eliza: Maybe…
(Eliza smiles and rolls her eyes)
Sub Plot: Ethan[]
(Ethan is in class next to Olivia and talking during a lesson)
Olivia: When is this class over?
Ethan: Hopefully soon. I can’t stand history.
Olivia: I don’t think anyone can to be honest.
Ethan: If I set the classroom on fire, would we take a semester off of this class?
Olivia: Hm…I suppose we’d just change rooms.
Ethan: Darn it…
Olivia: It was a nice idea, though.
Ethan: Do you think I could throw this notebook at Mr. Tucker without him noticing?
Olivia: You could try, but I think it’d fail. People normally notice when large objects strike them in the face.
Ethan: Oh really?
(Ethan throws his pencil at Olivia and she starts laughing)
Olivia: Oh, it’s on!
(Olivia rips a piece of paper out and throws it at Ethan)
Ethan: Bitch please, you’re going down!
Mr. Tucker: Ethan, Olivia, what are you doing?
Ethan: Oh…
Olivia: Mr. Tucker, we were just reenacting the famous Battle Bunker Hill.
Mr. Tucker: Oh really? Well maybe you two can reenact the famous Battle of Saratoga in detention.
Ethan: I don’t like that battle…
Olivia: I don’t like detention…
Mr. Tucker: Oh well!
(Ethan throws his notebook at Mr. Tucker’s back)
Olivia: Dude…
Mr. Tucker: Ethan, office!
Ethan: Olivia, you were right. People do normally notice when large objects strike them, especially in the back.
(Ethan walks out of class and Olivia covers up her laughing)
Third Plot: Jamie/Julia/Jeremy[]
(Jamie and Julia are sitting at a lunch table talking)
Julia: Okay, who have you laid your eyes on this year? Did Isaac like hit puberty over the summer or what because that boy is fine.
Jamie: I guess so, but I haven’t really seen anybody worth dating this year yet.
Julia: Come on Jame, you haven’t had a boyfriend since like freshman year!
Jamie: Yeah and since freshman year you’ve had like 10!
Julia: Because I know what I want and I go for it.
Jamie: Okay, so are you gonna go after Isaac now?
Julia: Maybe, but I’m waiting for someone with that special feeling. You know?
Jeremy: Hey Jamie, I have a cool video idea I wanna tell you about, I’ll be right back to tell you.
(Jeremy runs off and Jamie smiles)
Jamie: Oh, believe me, I know.
Julia: You like Jeremy!
Jamie: I never said that.
Julia: I can see it in your face…it’s obvious.
Jamie: Shut the fuck up, he’s coming back.
Jeremy: Okay guys, what if we did a video about cheerleader auditions where we all auditioned doing weird things?
Jamie: I like it, it lets everybody come up with their own idea.
Julia: I’m in.
Jeremy: You’re joining FilmFridayz?
Julia: Well Jamie tells me how fun it is and why not just check it out, you know?
Jeremy: Awesome, we could always use new members. I’ll see you guys later.
(Jeremy runs off and Julia nudges Jamie in the side)
Jamie: Shut up!!
Main Plot: Eliza[]
(Eliza is walking and looking at her schedule. She bumps into Blake and spills her books all over the floor)
Eliza: Oh, I’m sorry.
Blake: It’s cool, let me help you.
Eliza: No, it’s fine. I got it.
Blake: No, let me do it.
(Eliza looks at Blake and smiles)
Eliza: Thanks. I’m Eliza.
Blake: The name’s Blake. Here you go.
Eliza: Thanks again.
Blake: Not a problem, are you a freshman?
Eliza: Well you don’t really see anyone else studying their schedules like a textbook two weeks into school.
Blake: I’m a sophomore, so I’ve been there. It gets better, believe me. What lunch mod do you have?
Eliza: 11, why?
Blake: Find me in the caf and sit with me today. If you want, of course.
Eliza: Oh, um…I’d love to. Thanks, Blake.
Blake: No prob, Eliza.
(Blake walks off and Eliza smiles)
Scott: Who was that?
Eliza: I don’t know, his name is Blake.
Scott: You friends with him?
Eliza: We just met but he asked me to sit with him at lunch.
Scott: That’s sweet, but that’s Blake Sommer and from what I’ve heard, he’s bad news.
Eliza: What do you mean?
Scott: I don’t know, people just say he’s into bad stuff. Who knows.
Eliza: Hm, that’s weird. So you think I should stay away from him?
Scott: Well a rumor isn’t necessarily true…he could be a normal dude.
Eliza: So I should give him a try?
Scott: I would, just to see what he’s like. If what people say is true and he’s a total pothead or something, then stay away.
Eliza: Let’s just hope he’s not a pothead.
Scott: You like him, don’t you?
Eliza: I just met him…but I don’t know maybe. I’ve only ever had one boyfriend and that was this creep dude I met on the internet in seventh grade.
Scott: I wouldn’t say that counts. He turned out to be fifty and gay.
Eliza: True…I want a boyfriend though. Moon said it will make me less depressed.
Scott: Well I don’t know about that. Relationships bring drama and relationships don’t always last.
Eliza: You’re right…I’m just going to take things slow and not force a relationship.
Scott: That sounds like a good idea.
(Scott walks off and Eliza sighs)
Sub Plot: Ethan[]
(Ethan walks over to his lunch table and sees Olivia in his regular seat)
Ethan: What the hell, Olivia?
Olivia: There’s a seat right next to Danielle, sit there.
Ethan: Whatever.
Jamie: Oh guys, I gotta go meet Jeremy in the media room.
Sophie: Have fun!
Jamie: Oh, I will.
(Jamie gets up and leaves)
Moon: Are her and Jeremy…dating?
Sophie: Nope…not yet at least.
Danielle: They would make a super cute couple!
Ethan: You think?
Danielle: Totally, the funny goofball guy and the mellow sarcastic girl. They always work out in the shows.
Moon: Too bad this is high school.
Danielle: It could still work.
Ethan: I’m a funny goofball, who’s my mellow sarcastic girl?
Olivia: Danielle is pretty mellow. Date her.
Danielle: How about no?
Ethan: Come on, I could take you some place nice.
Moon: I’m gonna be sick.
Sophie: Oh, come on, it’s cute!
Alicia: Ethan and Danielle…Danithan or Ethelle?
Moon: How about neither?
Danielle: If we dated, Ethelle sounds much better.
Ethan: Yeah…if.
Sophie: I’m sensing some disappointment in your voice there, Ethan.
Ethan: I’m devastated!
Danielle: What kind of evil creaton like myself would reject you?
Ethan: Exactly!
Danielle: Tell you what, meet me at the back parking lot after school and we’re going to hang out, okay?
Ethan: Seriously?
Danielle: Just don’t be gross.
Olivia: Too bad Ethan got-
Ethan: Over my cold! I’m not sick anymore, yeah that’s it!
Olivia: Sure…
(Olivia looks at Ethan puzzled, and he ignores her)
Main Plot: Eliza[]
(Eliza is looking at the lunch room for Blake and sees him at a table with a bunch of his friends)
Eliza: Hey Blake!
Blake: Eliza, what’s up?
Eliza: Can I sit here?
Sean: Hey, it’s Blake’s new sex toy!
Blake: Shut the hell up man! Maybe we can go sit somewhere with less stupidity.
Eliza: Um…okay?
(Blake leads Eliza to the back of the lunchroom and they sit down at an empty table)
Blake: So…how’s freshman year starting for you?
Eliza: Um, well I don’t see many of my friends so it’s kinda boring.
Blake: Same here, it’s completely different. It’s mostly just me and my anime.
Eliza: You read anime too?
Blake: Hell yeah, it’s my obsession!
Eliza: Same here!
Blake: I’m going to this thing called Collossicon next month-
Eliza: I’m going too!
Blake: We should go together!
Eliza: That sounds awesome. I would love to.
Blake: We can get a hotel room and stay right next to it.
Eliza: What? Hotel room?
Blake: Well yeah?
Eliza: And you know what happens in hotel rooms. Yeah, I’m not that kind of girl.
Blake: One that has fun?
Eliza: No, a sex bunny.
Blake: Listen, I’m just being myself. Isn’t that was normally gets girls to like you?
Eliza: Normally, unless you’re a perverted jerk like you.
Blake: I’m sorry!
Eliza: It’s fine…just…goodbye Blake.
(Eliza walks away and looks scared)
Third Plot: Jamie/Julia/Jeremy[]
(Julia passes by the media room and sees Jeremy)
Julia: Hey Jeremy, whatcha doing?
Jeremy: Oh, just working on this video idea. I asked Jamie to meet me here to help me work on it but she hasn’t come yet.
Julia: I’m sure she’s on her way.
Jeremy: Would you like to help me until she gets here?
Julia: Um…yeah.
(Julia blushes and sits down next to him)
Jeremy: Hey, can I ask you something?
Julia: Sure.
Jeremy: Um…does Jamie like me?
Julia: Why do you ask?
Jeremy: I don’t know…for some reason she’s been running through my mind a lot.
Julia: Well I can tell you there’s a high possibility she’s thinking about you a lot too.
Jeremy: Oh…that’s a good thing right?
Julia: Maybe…maybe not.
Jeremy: Oh, don’t even go there,
Julia: Hey…uh, I want to be a bigger part of this group. Do you think maybe I could come over or something…so we could think of ideas together.
Jeremy: Together? Um, sure. Why not right?
Julia: Exactly!
(Outside the media room, Jamie sees Julia and Jeremy talking)
Caylee: Is there a reason you’re just standing here?
Jamie: Oh…um…is it a bad thing if you’re best friend is talking alone with the guy you told her you liked?
Caylee: Could be. She could maybe be talking to him about you.
Jamie: Too bad I don’t want that.
Caylee: Don’t jump to conclusions, just casually ask her about it later on.
Jamie: Yeah…good idea. Thanks Caylee.
(Jamie keeps watching them with a worried expression)
Main Plot: Eliza[]
(Eliza is at her locker and sees Kat walk by)
Eliza: Hey, Kat!
Kat: Hi, you’re Moon’s friend right?
Eliza: Yeah, um, this is kinda awkward, but can I ask you something about Blake. You used to date him, right?
Kat: Yeah…what do you want to know? This is weird you know, right?
Eliza: Listen, is he like…a bad boy?
Kat: Why do you even care?
Eliza: I went on a lunch date with him and he was already bringing up us having sex.
Kat: That sounds like Blake…listen Blake is into a lot of bad stuff. He drinks and he smokes and when he’s around his friends he acts like a total idiot. When you’re alone with him though, he can be really sweet.
Eliza: Until he asks you to have sex.
Kat: Sure, but when we dated I didn’t have a problem with it. He’s pretty good at it if you ever do date him.
Eliza: Okay…thanks. Sorry to ask you about this.
Kat: Good luck with him, you might need it.
(Kat waves and walks off and Eliza leans against a locker)
Sub Plot: Ethan[]
(The next day, Ethan walks in and Olivia runs up to him)
Olivia: Mr. Tucker was pissed last night when you weren’t at the detention. Hope you and Danielle had fun.
Ethan: Oh, we did.
Olivia: I’m glad, but watch out because Mr. Hanson is looking for you.
Mr. Hanson: Ah, Mr. Webber. Why don’t we have a nice chat in my office.
Olivia: Good luck.
(In his office)
Mr. Hanson: Why weren’t you at detention yesterday?
Ethan: My poor sickly mother was just dying and-
Mr. Hanson: Cut the crap. You know the rules, you skip once and you get double detention. You skip twice and you get a three day suspension.
Ethan: That’s all I had to do this whole time to get a detention?
Mr. Hanson: Don’t push it.
Ethan: Push what? I’m not pushing anything.
Mr. Hanson: Do you want to get suspended?
Ethan: It’s my dream.
Mr. Hanson: Well, that’s out of the question now.
Ethan: Seriously?
Mr. Hanson: It’s either you go to detention every day this week or you get expelled. I don’t think you’d like expulsion as much as you think. You’d have to move to a whole different county.
Ethan: Fine…I’ll go to detention.
Mr. Hanson: That’s the right choice, Mr. Webber.
Ethan: Can I go now?
Mr. Hanson: Fine…I expect to see you here at 2:45 though.
Ethan: Whatever…
(Ethan rolls his eyes and walks out of the office)
Third Plot: Jamie/Julia/Jeremy[]
(Jamie sees Jeremy at his locker and walks up to him)
Jamie: Hey, sorry I bailed yesterday, I had a lunch detention I totally forgot about.
Jeremy: It’s cool, I had some help.
Jamie: Oh, I know you did.
Jeremy: Huh?
Jamie: Oh, nothing. So, is the idea done?
Jeremy: Yup, all figured out.
Jamie: Oh, that’s good. Actually I wanted to shoot an idea by you. How’s after school at the smoothie shop sound?
Jeremy: Oh…um…I’m actually hanging out with Julia after school today. We’re doing FilmFridayz stuff. Maybe sometime soon.
Jamie: Oh…yeah. That’s fine. You guys have fun!
Jeremy: Thanks for understanding.
(Jeremy walks off and Jamie leans against a locker and looks shocked)
Alicia: You okay? You look like you’re about to kill someone.
Jamie: Okay, I told Julia that I liked this guy and then I see her hanging out with him in the media room. Now, I ask him out and he says he’s already hanging out with Julia. Am I crazy or is she trying to steal my crush?
Alicia: You’re not crazy.
Jamie: I have to be, she wouldn’t do this. I bet they really are just running ideas by each other.
Alicia: Yeah, but you can’t be sure.
Jamie: No…no I can’t. So what do I do?
Alicia: You watch both of them like a hawk. Especially Julia. Bring him up in the conversation a few times. If she won’t look you in the eyes that means she’s keeping something from you.
Jamie: Really? I’m gonna try that. But I mean, we’re best friends. Maybe I shouldn’t be so quick to judge.
Alicia: It doesn’t matter, if she’s flirting with your crush that she knows you like, the friendship doesn’t mean anything anymore and you have to punch a bitch.
Jamie: Wow, you freshman handle things much more hostile than us juniors.
Alicia: That’s just how I roll. If you need me to spy or anything-
Jamie: Not yet. Maybe soon. We’ll keep in touch.
Alicia: Well yeah, we text all the time.
Jamie: You know what I mean!
Sub Plot: Ethan[]
(Ethan and Liam are watching Danielle at her locker)
Liam: I don’t think you’ve blinked, man.
Ethan: I haven’t.
Liam: Where did this crush even come from? Like two days ago you two were just friends.
Ethan: I don’t even know. But fate has finally brought us together.
Liam: I’m going to punch you dude.
Ethan: …Sorry
Liam: She’s single, you’re single, she’s pretty, you’re into her. Make your move.
Ethan: Hey Danielle, wanna hang out again sometime soon?
Danielle: Sounds good, just text me soon.
Ethan: Awesome…
Liam: Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.
Ethan: I don’t even care about anyone else, I’m going to make her mine.
Liam: Dude, this is freaky. You’ve never liked someone like this before.
Ethan: I know…I’m gonna puke.
Liam: Well not on me.
Ethan: Well, I’m off to detention.
Liam: You’re actually going this time?
Ethan: Yeah, unless I want to get expelled and move. At least now I have something to stay here for…
Main Plot: Eliza[]
(Moon, Scott, and Eliza are walking in the halls)
Moon: So, operation find a hunk was a failure?
Eliza: At least for now.
Scott: There are plenty of guys at this school Eliza, don’t worry.
Eliza: I know. I don’t want to rush anything that isn’t worth it.
Moon: Smart girl, you get some brownie points in my book.
Eliza: Oh God, it’s Blake.
Blake: Eliza, can we talk?
Eliza: Why?
Blake: Because, for some reason I can’t stop thinking of you.
Moon: Aw! Oops…
Scott: We’re leaving. Come on, Moon.
(They walk off and Eliza looks upset)
Eliza: I already told you Blake, I’m not like Kat and I won’t have sex with you.
Blake: I’m not asking for sex, I’m just asking for a second chance. I’ve never met a girl like you who is in love with anime and metal music. Come on, you can’t tell me you weren’t at all attracted to me.
Eliza: I…I guess I was.
Blake: Was?
Eliza: Am…maybe. Listen, if we’re going to do this you have to act reasonable. Around me and your friends. No sexist jokes or anything like that.
Blake: Deal, I swear.
Eliza: Do you think we should wait? Maybe until we learn more about ourselves?
Blake: I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow or next week, even an hour from now. But in this moment, I know this is supposed to happen. I can feel it.
Eliza: I know what you mean…it just feels right.
Blake: So let’s make the universe happy and just do this.
Eliza: Sounds good…boyfriend.
Blake: I think I’m going to make you very happy in that role.
Eliza: You better…
