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!

- 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.

- 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. FADE OUT: THE END
