[episode 7 opens up where episode six left off]
Selena: so theres nothing I can do prom is two weeks away, im supposed to be in the play I have all this shit going on, the first year im actually involved and your telling me I can stay to the end of it I have to leave two months before everyone else.
Principle: I’m sorry Selena but policy is policy its out of my hands
[Selena gets up and storms out, she goes to the bathroom and walks in a few minutes after Jillian has stopped crying shes fixing her makeup and starts to cry a little bit]
Lillith: Oh god, this school is starting to look like a used car lot, everything’s breaking down
Selena: ill be fine, im sorry, its just so frustrating
Lillith: whats got you down
Selena: I don’t want to talk about it
Lillith: trust me it cant be as bad as what ive heard already today
Selena: im getting kicked out
Lillith: what did you do!
Selena: why does everyone say that?
Lillith: sorry
Selena: im not getting expelled, my dad he lost a lot of money when the stock market took that downturn, and now our income isn’t enough to meet the tuition requirements, and I have to the end of the month, its just so bad because I finally started to fit in here, and im so close to graduating and a diploma with good grades from here means being able to go anywhere in the country to go to college and now everything I’ve worked for is pretty much sullied
Lillith: oh is there any way you can stay
Selena: yeah if a miracle happens and I somehow make enough money to pay for the next two months of tuition so I can graduate but I doubt that will happen, well I have to go im late for my internship
[she walks out and the camera fades out]
[open up on Lolliees house, Lillith and Lolliee are sitting on her couch talking]
Lillith: so Lolliee you like Selena right
Lolliee: are you kidding I love that girl, she makes me laugh from a dark place
Lillith: good, because I don’t want to lose her either, you know what makes you feel good on the inside
Lolliee: im not going with you and selena to the soup kitchen if that’s what this is about
Lillith: no honey, we need to help Selena make enough money to afford tuition for the last two months of school or she wont be able to graduate with us
Lolliee: umm sounds good in theory but in reality we don’t have jobs
Lillith: what’s the quickest and funnest way to make money
Lolliee: we can’t do a bikini carwash, we don’t have the space and we don’t have permits, I have enough trouble with the cops as is for speeding I’m not trying to see them any more than I already do
Lillith: I was thinking more fun for both sexes
Lolliee: hey I don’t know about you but depending on how well you work a sponge or a hose it could end up being fun for you in more ways than one
Lillith: we should have a rent party, your parents are out of town this weekend
Lolliee: my parents are out of town every weekend, but I don’t want a bunch of drunk bitches getting layed in my bed, unless one of those drunk bitches is me and how am I gonna do that if im playing host
Lillith: well we could always do it at my house with my crazy mother
Lolliee: so you wanna come over at seven thirty to help me set up?
Lillith: yeah, wait a second, can we have a party, with what happened to Jillian recently
Lolliee: we can always make it a clean house party, no drugs no booze just grinding and grunting if you know what I mean
Lillith: good idea, but whatever we do we cant invite that creepy guy with the buzz cut that got arrested for pot at the dance, he just got out, and its just a big no
Lolliee: alright but you gotta help me pass out flyers
[frame cut, to Lillith and Lolliee passing out flyers in school the next day and putting them on peoples windshields/cut to Gabriel and Jordan in the car]
Gabriel: hey do you want to go to a party, first party together, without Andrew being a competition
Jordan: I cant
Gabriel: why not?
Jordan: I made a promise to myself a long time ago
Gabriel: oh come on pull yourself out of the convent frauline Maria, have some fun besides I want to flaunt you
Jordan: do you remember how quickly I moved? Well after I moved I was getting into a bad place and My dad pulled me out of school because I was getting involved with drugs and heavily drinking, it wasn’t so much the drugs as the booze, I was becoming a blackout drunk, I got alcohol poisoning one night and my dad had had enough and put me into rehab, and it took a long road to recovery to finally change my life and I just got sober for good, I had a relapse not long ago after having just a few drinks and I ended up taking some things I probably shouldn’t have and I decided I shouldn’t drink if its going to make me more easy to influence
Gabriel: I had no idea, but you don’t have to worry the word with the girls is it’s a clean hose party, a rent party to help out my friend Selena who I love, who’s going to not be able to graduate with us if we don’t help her out, come on boo, im a popular guy around here if I go to the party more people will go, the more people go the better please
Jordan: okay ill go, we’ll go now shut up and kiss me
[black out commercial break]
[open back up on the party everyone shows up quite a few people show up in a truck with kegs]
Lolliee: we are so gonna get busted
Lillith: oh fuck, I thought you put on the flyer it was a clean party
Lolliee: no, no I did not
Lillith: why not!
Lolliee: because ….. I forgot
Lillith: you forgot
Lolliee: noone would want to come to a party where theres not booze but I figured hey maybe noone will bring anything thinking its supplied
Lillith: are you stupid, I bring a fifth to every party I go to just in case I don’t like whats supplied
Lolliee: well I didn’t think they’d bring a whole beer truck
[a drunk girl walks up to them and hands them a bottle of schnapps]
Drunk girl: heres my house warming gift, I don’t have any cash
Lillith: thanks its cool go ahead in, enjoy yourself
Lolliee: and there goes our profits
Lillith: this isn’t for profit anyway this is charity, besides, the guys in the beer truck gave me twenty a person, apparently they are either in a generous mood or cant count when theyre plastered but just to be safe lets go ahead and take keys from those guys
[Gabriel and Jordan are sitting on the couch inside and a few guys walk up to them with a tray of shots]
Jordan: I thought you said this was gonna be a clean party
Gabriel: it was supposed to be I don’t know what happened, do you want to leave
Jordan: no im fine, I don’t have to drink to have fun at a party especially when im with you
[ a guy offers them drinks]
Gabriel: no were good
Jordan: hey, don’t let me spoil your fun
Gabriel: I don’t feel right drinking in front of you I feel like im taunting you
Jordan: no not at all, it’d be weird if you didn’t
Gabriel: alright, alright bring me a shot
[after a little time has passed a lot of people are playing beer pong and a group of people including Lolliee, her chosen boy of the night Gabriel, Jordan, Lillith, and a few other people are standing in a circle playing “Suck and Blow” a game where you try to pass a credit card from mouth to mouth in a circle and if you drop it you have to kiss the person who passed it to you it starts going in a circle pretty well]
Gabriel: aww you guys suck at this
Jordan: I cant help it I cant get good suction
Gabriel: that’s a first
[it passes another round lots of people keep dropping it but when it finally gets to Gabriel again he gets it and passes it to the guy beside him who is Lolliees love interest of the night and it falls between them]
Group: do it do it
Gabriel: really you guys, really
John: come on dude im down if you are, besides im driving tonight , and house rule is five shots if you punk out, and ive already had enough
Gabriel: I have a boyfriend this is so wrong
John: im straight whats your point
Jordan: come on Gabe its just a game I don’t mind
Lolliee: shut up and suck face already so I can drop it next
[they kiss and it goes a little too far]
Gabriel: alright start that shit up again, round six, whats wrong with everyone
Lolliee: I said kiss him not seduce him
Jordan: jesus Gabriel do you think you used enough tongue
Gabriel: sorry you guys were the ones who convinced me, besides I warned you im like jeckel and hyde when im drunk as in hide your kids hide your wife, its just a game it didn’t mean anything
Lolliee: whatever just start it over fuck it
[they go through another few rounds and it drops once again between john and Gabriel and Gabriel leans in for another kiss and john (who has had a few drinks kisses with tongue again)]
Lolliee: okay that’s enough this game sucks
Jordan: you know what guys im going to leave
Lolliee: well congratulations Gabriel, you turned another one queer
[Gabriel goes after lolliee Jordan has already left Lolliee slaps him, Gabriel grabs a bottle and drains it and sits on the couch the party rages on after a few hours have passed [ to show passage of time use the watch shot] people are leaving and john comes back very inebriated and sits down on the couch next to Gabriel who is also hammered]
Gabriel: oh its you again
John: yeah whats the matter with Lolliee she’s pissed off, im not getting anywhere with that tonight
Gabriel: sorry about that, my boyfriend left me here, and im too drunk to drive
John: (laughing) me too
Gabriel: (slurring slightly) I thought you said you were straight, you don’t kiss straight
John: thank you I try, technically im bi it just depends on the day and what im drinking
Gabriel: you sound like Andrew, I miss Andrew but not that much
John: wait, wait, wait, im having a thought bubble here, your boyfriend left, im pretty sure lolliee has moved on to someone else tonight, your gay , im bi ….theres a bedroom next to the kitchen…. And im drunk as hell
Gabriel: im not going to sleep with you
John: noone said anything about sleeping
[he gets up and pulls Gabriel off the couch and Gabriel follows him to the bedroom, they begin to disrobe and touching each other and making out]
Gabriel: wait wait, I cant, I cant do this, im going to regret this in the morning anyway I cant make it worse
John: oh come on, im striking out all over here, the girls don’t want me , the boys don’t want me what am I doing wrong
Gabriel: you need sleep
John: don’t leave me, I wont try anything just I really don’t want to be alone, im drunk and depressed now don’t walk out on me
[Gabriel lays back and john and he lie there on the bed and the camera fades to black for a few seconds and fades back in , the room is now dark, close up on Gabriel’s face as his eyes open he looks to his side to see john asleep and he sneaks out of the room picking up his shirt on the way out to the couch where a bunch of stoners are still at]
Stoner: hey man can I bum a smoke
Gabriel: sure I don’t care
[Gabriel fumbles through his phone and begins texting a message to Mary momentarily forgetting that she’s “dead”]
Text: I really miss you, I need you, I don’t know what to do, I feel like my life is in a tailspin for the worst, I may have ruined the best thing that ever happened to me, I almost lost a friend to suicide, and I honestly don’t know what I want to do with the rest of my life, I hate that your not around to help me
[his phone vibrates as he passes out on the couch zoom in on the screen on his phone that says new text message from Mary. To be continued in episode 8]
