RUBY
What happened to Luke, I thought you were
getting with him, weren’t you meant to
have seen him on Saturday?
LAUREN
Oh Luke was so last week, I saw him on
Saturday, got what I wanted and tossed him
just like the rest.
RUBY
Ahh, so Tom’s your next target?
LAUREN
Target?! You say that like it’s a bad
thing?
LAUREN leans into RUBY and can’t believe that she is
accusing her.
RUBY
Well I mean, don’t you think you should
just find a guy and stick with him rather
than being a dick and messing them around.
LAUREN
Well I mean I don’t just….
As LAUREN is speaking to RUBY she pauses mid-sentence as
she realizes a guy who she’s never seen before. She stares
at him as he walks past.
RUBY
OMG! That must be the new guy everyone was
talking about. I’ve heard he’s meant to be
so awkward.
LAUREN
Well, we’ll see about that.

SCENE 9: INT, BRAD’S BEDROOM (LOCATION 3), NIGHT TIME
BRAD sees the message pop up on his phone. He gasps and
does a double take of his phone, he’s not used to girls
messaging him. He looks down wants more and reads out the
message.
BRAD
“Hey! Noticed you today, just wondered if
you noticed me too, winky face emoji”.
BRAD looks up with a confused, awkward expression and
starts thinking about what he’s going to reply
“Ummm hey, yeah weren’t you the one in the
corridor”
SCENE 10: INT, LAUREN’S BEDROOM (LOCATION 1), NIGHT TIME
Lauren looks down at her phone and is in shock that BRAD
actually noticed her.

to reply.
LAUREN
“Meet me tomorrow after school?”

SCENE 11: INT, BRAD’S BEDROOM (LOCATION 3), NIGHT TIME

to meet BRAD. She is stood with Ruby.

RUBY
But I wanna see what happens, I wanna see
him.
LAUREN
Just go, look he’s coming now.
LAUREN looks and sees BRAD walking towards her in the
distance with a slight smile on his face.
He then approaches LAUREN at the benches.
BRAD
Hi, you okay?

6. 6
LAUREN
Yeah not bad you?
BRAD
Yeah not too bad.
There is a sight awkwardness and neither of them knows what
to say. They’re looking around thinking of something to
say.
LAUREN
So, do you like wanna come back to mine
now then?
BRAD
Woah… bit forward.
LAUREN
Isn’t that what we’re doing though?
BRAD
I don’t know, is it? You’re the one who
said we should meet.
LAUREN
Well no one ever wants anything else from
me, so I just figured…
BRAD
Umm, I’m sorry I gotta go, (he looks
around for an excuse to leave), this isn’t
what I thought.
BRAD swiftly walks away, and LAUREN is left standing alone.
LAUREN
(to herself), fuck sake Lauren, why didn’t
you just tell him you’re more than just a
shag.

7. 7
SCENE 15: INT, LAUREN’S BEDROOM, (LOCATION 1), NIGHT TIME
LAUREN is sat in her room trying to put together a message
to send to BRAD. She’s reading the message aloud as she
types.
LAUREN
“Brad, I didn’t want to come across
forceful today… you can just send me
something now if you want, winky face.”
SCENE 16: INT, BRAD’S BEDROOM, (LOCATION 3), NIGHT TIME
BRAD sees the message from LAUREN and raises his eyebrows.
He didn’t think he’d get a message like this after what
happened earlier that day.
BRAD
“What’s wrong with you I’m not sending you
anything”.
SCENE 17: INT, LAUREN’S BEDROOM, (LOCATION 1), NIGHT TIME
LAUREN
“Not even a quick pic?”
SCENE 16: INT, BRAD’S BEDROOM, (LOCATION 3), NIGHT TIME
BRAD
“Lauren! I thought you actually liked me?
I’m not hanging around if that’s all
you’re interested in”.
SCENE 18: INT, LAUREN’S BEDROOM, (LOCATION 1), NIGHT TIME
LAUREN looks at the message from BRAD and realizes what she
is doing. No guy had ever called her out before so she
thought what she was doing was normal and what everyone
expected her to do.

8. 8
LAUREN
(To herself)I don’t know what I’m doing, I
can’t just tell him that I actually like
him can I. I don’t know what to do in
these situations, he’ll just think I’m
joking.
SCENE 19: INT, SCHOOL HALLWAY (LOCATION 4), DAY TIME
LAUREN and RUBY and stood by the lockers. LAUREN is
thinking to herself about how she thinks she’s going to
tell BRAD how she really feels about him today.
RUBY
So… how was Brad, did anything happen.
LAUREN
Well… Yeah… nothing much.
RUBY
Got him wrapped around your little finger
like the rest?
LAUREN
That’s not all I am you know, I am capable
of having real feelings for a boy.
RUBY
Right, I’ll believe it when I see it.
LAUREN rolls her eyes at RUBY as she walks away, she then
starts looking out for BRAD.
BRAD then starts walking round the corner, catches sight of
LAUREN and swiftly walks past.
LAUREN runs after him and grabs his arm to stop him walking
away.
LAUREN
Hey Brad! Please wait.

9. 9
BRAD
What, so you can ask to see my dick again?
LAUREN
No! It was a misunderstanding yesterday…
it’s hard to explain.
BRAD
I’m listening.
LAUREN looks round to see who’s around that could hear her.
LAUREN
Well I basically just got this reputation
for myself by accident and now I don’t
know how to get a guy without doing what I
do, everyone just expects it from me.
BRAD
Well I’m not everyone and I don’t think
that’s the only way to get a guy, not all
guys are into that you know.
LAUREN
Well it’s all I’ve knows, I got the
reputation for myself so long ago, and I
really like you and I don’t know how to
get a guy and I-
LAUREN stops mid-sentence and she realizes what she just
said. Brad lifts his eyebrows at her.
BRAD
Sorry… what was that?
LAUREN
I ummm… ummm, nothing
LAUREN turns to walk away out of embarrassment. BRAD grabs
her to stop her.
LAUREN turns around, looks at BRAD in the eyes and freezes.

10. 10
BRAD leans in for a kiss and LAUREN kisses him back.
BRAD
I umm just assumed that’s what you’d want.
LAUREN kisses Brad again.
RUBY is looking through the door in shock, she enters.
RUBY
Okay what the fuck just happened.
She stares, mouth wide open in shock, at BRAD and LAUREN.
RUBY
That’s not how this works.
LAUREN
I’m sorry? What do you mean ‘that’s not
how it works’.
RUBY realizes what she’s said and turns awkward and
embarrassed.
RUBY
I umm it doesn’t matter
LAUREN
Ruby!
RUBY
Well we had a thing going on didn’t we…
you fuck and chuck, then I fuck and chuck.
LAUREN freezes and takes a minute to process what
she’s just heard.
LAUREN
So you’re basically saying that you wait
for me to find a guy, wait until I’m done
with them then you have a go as well.
RUBY
I mean… yeah

11. 11
LAUREN
Phahah! OMG! You’re worse than me.
RUBY
So I’m guessing its going to be a while
until you’re done with this one. (She says
gesturing to BRAD)
LAUREN
Oh yeah, this one’s a keeper.
BRAD turns to Lauren takes her hand and they both walk away
from RUBY down the hallway.
