EPISODE TWO

SCENE ONE

It was morning at the Smith's house and Mason was just getting up. He then walked into his bath room, turned on the shower, took off his clothes and went in.

Moments later he heard a sound as if someone was in his room he then turned off the shower to listen out for the sound again. Immediately he heard the it again and came out of the shower.

Mason- Who's out there?

He then placed a towel around him and walked towards the door and the minute he touched the door knob Tyrone slammed a basketball try out flyer in his face.

Tyrone- Yo the day is here!

Mason's towel dropped as he jumped in fear 

Mason- Tye? Come on! What are you trying to do? Trying to do kill me?

Tye- Aw suck it up! Try outs are in an hour and I think you want to pick that up. *As he pointed at the towel*

Mason- *As he bend down and picked it up* Oh yeah. And we're good Tye! We got this! *As the towel dropped again*

Tye- *As they did a hand shake* Yeah man, but imma need you to get your towel man! *As he put up his hands*

Mason- *Grabbed the towel and pushed Tye out of the bathroom* Man leave okay!

Tye- I'm going! I'm going!

Bell Rings

Amelia and Jennifer were at school in the halls walking pass their lockers conversing about the upcoming cheerleading tryouts.

Jennifer- Cheerleading tryouts are today! *As she said excitingly*

Amelia- I know and trust me you're going to do great! *As she smiled*

Jennifer- *Stops and turns to look at Amelia* You know what would be amazing? You should try out with me!

Amelia- Noooo.... *She said in a low sad tone*

Jennifer- Come on, you're really good!

Amelia- At cheerleading..? It's not really my thing.

Jennifer- It can be our thing! Well at least promise me you'll think about it!

Dustin then walked up to Amelia and his presence was not wanted.

Dustin- Amelia can I please talk to you?

Amelia- No you cannot! *As she walked away*

Dustin- Melia please! *As he leaned out and touch her hand*

Amelia- Don't touch me and it's A-melia! Only my friends are allowed to call me Melia oh and just in case you didn't catch on we're done!

She quickly walked away bumped into Jennifer with anger and didn't look back.

Tyrone and Mason were at basketball tryouts. The gym was packed with students and other guys wanting to try out too. Mason was up. He went on the court and his passes were amazing he had a lot of tricks and from the looks of it he was good on his feet. 

Tyrone was next and despite his humorous and goofy personality, when he's on the court all of it goes away. Tyrone was a ball player played like a pure professional he was fast he had massive throws and he really knew how to work up a crowd. 

Meanwhile, the basketball team that was already on became captivated and were impressed.

But the Captain... wasn't so much. He stood there watching Tyrone play but gave the impression that he... just wasn't impressed. Coach Morris then walked up to the team to give them some news.

Coach Morris- Hey boys, I have to talk to you for a sec.

Dustin- What's up coach?

Coach Morris- I got a call and my wife is having baby but there are little difficulties and she's out in Miami alone. So I'm taking this first flight out. I'll be gone for a few weeks just until she gets back up on her feet.

Carlos- Sorry to hear that couch.

Dustin- Yeah, we wished there was something we can do.

Coach Morris- Thanks and there is! Shape up these boys and be ready for street legends.

Dustin- *As he smiled while he handshakes him* Most def coach, most def!

Coach Morris- I believe in you kid. Be the best captain! See you when I get back. *As all the team hugged him and he left*

Jordan- Yo you looking at this? Number 14...he's really good he has to join the team.

Dustin- Nah I've seen better.

Dustin was angry with Tyrone. Was it because he was jealous and felt competition between he and Tyrone for best player on the team? Or was it because he was upset that Tyrone ratted him out to Amelia about the bet? Either way, he had an agenda and that did not include Tyrone making the cut for his team. He then got up to make his decision on who's on the team and who's not.

Vincent- Are you blind or something? He's the best that we've seen all day!

Jordan- Alright game! *As the clock hit zero*

Dustin- Alright guys firstly, I just want to thank you all for trying out. I've got to say to some of you really know how to play some ball. We saw some really good talent and some not so good. *As he looked at Tyrone* There’s always next year. So to get started… here we go number 30, 22, 16, 17, 1, 24, my buddy number 5 and number 10 you made it! *As he called Mason's number, he was number ten* I'm sorry for those who didn't, but you can try again.

Jordan- What about Number 14? He was really good.

He called Mason but not Tyrone's number.

Tyrone- Hold up you're kidding me right?

Dustin- You're good Tye! I give you that.

Tyrone- Then what's the problem?

Dustin- Just wasn't good enough! *As he walked backwards*  I'm sorry I just wasn't impressed! Oh yeah and rule number one of being on this team, ALWAYS have each other's back. *As he walked away*

Tyrone- Ohh, *As he laughed* I'm over here thinking maybe you're just mad because I'm a better ball player than you are which is true by the way... I. Am. In Fact. Better. Than. You. and that you couldn't handle the competition. But that's not it! You're mad because I warned Amelia about you. *As he laughed again*

Dustin- You know what? Firstly, you're not a better player than I am! Let's get that extremely clear! Secondly, this team right here *As he indicated* doesn't need you!

Tyrone- *Licks his lips while laughing* Oh really?

Dustin- Yeah!

Jayme- Yes we do need him Dus.

Jordan- Come on don't be a duche!

Dustin- Guys quit it okay! And most importantly hell yeah I'm mad! I'm infuriated! You messed up a chance I had with an amazing girl!

Tyrone- The truth comes out! *As he smiled* You know something Dustin, I'm glad I ratted you out! And you're right she is an amazing girl and you didn't deserve her! She's my best friend and never would I EVER allow some dick like you to hurt her! *As he approached Dustin closer* I mean how the hell you finna sell my girl short for 50 bucks? She's worth more than your pointless life!

Dustin- If you know what's good for you, you'd get out of my face!

Tyrone- Or else what homeboy? Going to make another bet with me? How much am I worth? I'm listening...what 20 bucks? How about that championship that you just missed out on now that I’m not your team?

No answer

Tyrone- That's right because I'm worth your whole damn team!

Dustin then shoved Tyrone and Tyrone shoved him back. Mason quickly got in between the two of them and stopped their fight while the other players gathered and pulled Dustin away.

Mason- Alright that's enough! 

Dustin- And you're wrong! It wasn't just a bet! I liked her from the moment I saw her!

Tyrone- Too bad she'll never talk to you again! Man I'm out screw you and this team! All of you are whack for putting money on any girl! *As he walked out of the gym*

Dustin- Let him go! *He stared disappointedly as Tyrone left* Just let him go!

Mason- If this how you're going to treat people... then I'll pass. Give the spot to someone else.

Whole team- Sigh Ugh come on man!

Mason then followed behind him and left Dustin those in the gym.

Jordan- Dustin? You mad he caused you lose your girl? Fine! Be mad I don't blame you, but you're not about to cause this team lose because you were to weak and in denial  to admit that you were wrong! He's a good ass player, the both of them and you know it! So you need to take your feelings out of it and be a captain! Cuz you Are and will ALWAYS be, Captain.

Dustin- But you know I liked her before you made that stupid bet! You know my feelings for her are real. 

Jayme- I know that! Jordan knows that,  this team knows that but she doesn't! And Tye doesn't! Come on dude, that was a wack move and you know it.

Dustin then kicked the basketball in infuriation with a growl.

Dustin- Ugh I hate it when you guys are right!

Jennifer and Amelia were at cheerleading tryouts. Jennifer had on a cheerleading outfit and she looked really hot. They were outside under a tree practicing before she went over to tryout.

Jennifer- So how do I look? *As she smiled*

Amelia- Perfect! Now all you have to do is kill it with your amazing moves!

Jennifer- Okay one more practice before I go.

Amelia- Okay ready, go!

Jennifer- *As she cheered* Who's got what it takes? We're gonna make you break! We’re Venure High, Don’t get scared. We’re gonna make it til the end.*As she landed in the splits*

Amelia- You're already on the team! *As she laughed and hugged her*

Jennifer- Please audition with me!

Amelia- Jen....I ...

Jennifer- Please?

Amelia- Ughhh! Besides I don't even have an outfit!

Jennifer then gave her an evil look.

Amelia- *Steps back* You're scaring me...

Meanwhile, they were at the cheerleading tryouts and in there was packed. More people than they expected were there and Jennifer was nervous.

Jennifer's audition was next and half the school was there watching.

Monica- Okay up next, we have...Jennifer Carson?

Jennifer then came out smiling, ready and energize. Amelia watched from the side lines and was smiling as she watched Jennifer perform.

Jennifer- *Started energetic* We make it look easy, you all wish you were us. So don’t think you can beat me your squad is just a bust! So who's got what it takes?.....


Suddenly she saw everyone staring and began to have stage fright and froze. The room became smaller and she started picturing everyone laughing at her and calling her a failure.

She paused in fear and stared and Amelia was in the crowd with her fingers crossed.

Amelia- Come on! Don't freeze!

Jennifer- Ugh....

Amelia then came out on the floor with her in matching cheerleading clothing doing Jennifer's routine.

Amelia- We're gonna make you break!  We’re Venure High so don’t get scared. We’re gonna make it to the end! *As she landed in the splits*

From the splits position she whispered to Jennifer.

Amelia- Psst! Jen? Do it!

The crowd loved Amelia and stood up applauding her and the head cheerleaders were impressed. Jennifer then became disappointed in herself and ran off.

Amelia- *As she got out of the splits* Jen? Wait!

They both ran off into the halls and Jennifer was crying while Amelia was behind her running.

Amelia- Jennifer! Stop!

Jennifer- I can't believe I did that! I'm so stupid! * As she sat on the floor*

Amelia- No you're not Jen. *As she smiled* You just had stage fright. I get that a lot too.

Jennifer- No you don't! You did that routine perfectly!

Amelia- *As she smiled* Yeah I got over it! You wanna know why? *As she wiped Jennifer's tears*

Jennifer- *Sniffs* Why?

Amelia- Because you were right there with me.

Jennifer- *Wipes her face* Amelia I don't know what I'd do without you. *As hey hugged*

Amelia- Awe I feel the same way about you guys too. * As she stared in deep thought*

SCENE TWO

Jennifer and Amelia rushed back to the Cheerleaders holding hands and smiling but they were packing up.

Monica- Oh there you are! Great job! You're in! *As she 

smiled*

Amelia- Really that's great! *As she hugged Jennifer* But what about Jennifer?

Monica- Who...? *As she looked at Jennifer* Oh her...

Monica- Look I'm sure you're good but you froze up. I'm sorry but we need ladies that aren't afraid! That are courageous and that can captivate a crowds attention, I mean you captivated the crowd alright... just not in the way I was hoping.

Jennifer- I'm sorry please just give me another chance. 

Amelia- Yeah! She was just a little shaken up!

Monica- Look! I'm sorry but my decision is final! You've already showed the school that you're a joke you want to be on the team? Fine! Convince the school you're a bad ass cheerleader and you're in! *As she threw Amelia her outfit* There is a game tomorrow tonight and best new comer gets a spot light dance. And I'm sure everyone will agree that you were the best. *As she walked off holding her expensive purse*

Jennifer- This is not fair! Ugh!

Amelia- *Gives an evil look*

Jennifer- That look though...you have an evil idea!

Amelia- Hell yeah! *As she took her by the hand* We have a spot light dance to prepare for!

Jennifer- We?  Oh no...

Meanwhile, Tyrone was inside the Chemistry lab alone still working on the Scalibar experiment. Dustin then walked in with his notes on the experiment and walked towards Tyrone. He felt guilty and wanted to make things right. He then rest the notes down in front of Tyrone.

Dustin- This is what I came up with and if you like, you can have it.

Tye kept his head down and did not respond.

Dustin- You probably hate me and I don't blame you. I'm a jerk! But what's true is that I'm sorry and I want you to help me.

Tyrone- Dustin please, okay? Just... just leave me alone.

Dustin- Tye truth is, you were right! I was jealous at the fact that you played better than I did, so I used you ratting me out as an excuse!

Tyrone- Wow captain obvious!

Dustin- Dude be mad okay? But at least hear me out. I know I hurt Amelia and I just can't get her out of my head, can you please help me get her back?  I'd do anything just please! Look I'll play you if I win you talk to her for me if I lose you can come back on the basketball team.....as captain!

Tyrone- *Looks up at him*

Ball bounces.

Tyrone- Alright first things first! If I win you can't talk to Amelia ever again! You can't beg for her back, you can't look at her or talk about her  and if she likes you, you must turn her down which she won’t and I'll proudly take your position as captain!

Dustin- Ugh!! Alright! And if I win you have to let her know that I'm sorry and that what I did was insensitive stupid and immature and I'd like for her to forgive me. I really like her and honestly, I'd rather settle for friends and have her forgive me than for her to hate me.

Tyrone- *Throws ball to Dustin's stomach* Let's get it then!

They began to play and they were both trying to dominate. Tyrone was playing rough and Dustin was using tricks that were like fouls but not precisely.  

The score was tight two-two, ten-ten, thirty-Thirty, sixty five-sixty five, the boys were going on and on none stop. 

Sweat became like water and they were soak. 

Tyrone then jumped to get a sixty six when he bumped into Dustin and he landed on his ankle.

Dustin- Ughhhh! *As he held his foot in pain*

The ball didn't go in because Tyrone stopped to try and help Dustin up.

Tyrone- Are you okay?

Dustin then tried to get up in pain to play again but his foot was literally sprained.

Dustin- I can do this! Just one more point! *As he limped on the court*

Tyrone- Dude you need to rest it's been hours! I'll get you an ice pack.

Dustin- No! I have to win! *As he breathes hard* I have to get Amelia back! *As he fell back to the floor*

Tyrone- Fine! Okay? * As he sat on the ground next to him* I'll do it!

Dustin- Do what?

Tyrone- You really like her don't you?

Dustin- I do, I really do! From the day I met her. I can't stop thinking about her. Her smile, her laugh.*As he squinted in pain holding his foot* The way her nose curves up like a button when she laughs. The scent of hair when we hug. Oh and her relentless attitude! *As he laughed* She always..

Both of them- Speaks her mind.

Dustin- *Laughs* Yeah.

Tyrone- And she always thinks she's right. You'll see the real her soon enough. And she'll drive you crazy. *As he teased*

Dustin- *As he laughed* I bet it's worth it though.


Tyrone- *As he laughed with a little hesitation* Mmm sometimes.

Dustin- Yeah... sigh. I'm captain of the basketball team and a bunch of other clubs. People expect for me to be this popular, jock... stuck up kind of guy but I'm not. I did a few things just to fit in or to be liked and she saw right through that! She saw me man. But that thing with Jordan was just me showing off to my friends by going after a girl I really liked and making a few bucks off of Jordan! It was wrong of me and I know this and I know that this is a cliche line but she's different man. Like we can be friends I can keep it real! I can be me. Dustin. And not Mr. popular or rich boy. Just me.

Tyrone- I know the feeling.

Dustin- How long have you known her?

Tyrone- Twelve years.

Dustin- Wow! Sigh I don't know how to fix this.

Tyrone- The same thing you told me, tell her and I promise you although she acts like this tough girl, she's very fragile and loving and has this soft side. All girls do.

Dustin- You're right. Sigh.

It was the basketball game and the cheerleaders were getting ready to go on.

Jennifer- Ohh I've got butterflies...

Amelia- So do I... Maybe I don't need to do this we don't need to do this lets just go! *As she baited Jennifer and began to walk off*

Jennifer- *As she took her hand* Are you kidding me? We worked way to hard to turn back now we're going to do this, we're kill it and be named as legends!

Amelia- *As she smiled* That's what I like to hear.

Jennifer- Awe, you're good!

Monica- Let's go ladies.

Amelia- This is it.

Dustin then passed her and smiled as he went across the court with a limp although Amelia was upset she truly could have seen he was sorry so she smile back softly.

Jennifer- *Holds her chest and takes deep breaths* I'm going to have a heart attack.

SCENE THREE

The cheerleaders were performing and the students cheered them on.

Their stunts, steps and dance moves were hot! 

Jennifer was on the side in the shadows. Amelia's spot light dance was about to start and all the lights went dim as Jennifer flipped into the spot light with her.

Jennifer and Amelia- Ready okay!

They both began to dance and it was amazing and over whelming. There routine was based on team work and Amelia allowed Jennifer to take most of the spot considering she was doing all this for her to get recognition. Dustin, Tyrone and Mason were watching and they were clapping and cheering them on.

Jennifer- This is it!

Amelia- Take it away baby girl!

Jennifer and Amelia then ran into each other and flipped while holding each other's leg and landed in the splits.

Jennifer- Yeah! *As she sat in the splits*

The crowd went crazy. Jennifer and Amelia did an amazing job. 

Amelia then hugged Jennifer and Tyrone and Mason had won their game considering Dustin had a leg injury, he didn't play but he was there to cheer on his team and co-captain, Tyrone. Mason then ran and hugged both Amelia and Jennifer and Tyrone lifted Jennifer up and span her around.

Tyrone- You did it!

Jennifer- No we did it!

Tyrone- *As he looked at Amelia* He's really sorry… at least hear him out.

Amelia- But he...

Tyrone- I know you like him, I can see it.

Jennifer- We all can see it. So why don't you just go ahead? I've got some cheerleaders to attend too.

Amelia then looked at Tyrone speechless. She wanted to talk to Dustin but was still a bit skeptical.  Dustin then came behind her with the crutches.

Dustin- Amelia can I talk to you please? Just hear me out.

Amelia- *As she turned around slowly* Sigh, I'm listening...

Dustin- You did really good out there...*He said nervously*

Amelia- Thanks.

They both stared awkwardly as a silence sprung and immediately Dustin retorted.

Dustin- Amelia I am so sorry for what I did to you. Please forgive me! Please, it was stupid and immature of me to do that. You are special. Please just give me another chance, let me take you on that date. I promise it's not a bet this time. I just would really like to get to know you... Please?

Amelia- Ugh just kiss me!

Dustin- Huh?

Amelia- I'm waiting.

Dustin then dropped the crutches and kissed Amelia. He even lifted her up and span her around with one foot.

The crowd went wild as they cheered them on and threw up confetti and screamers.

Dustin- So does this mean that you forgive me? *As he smiled**

Amelia- *She kissed him again* Does that answer your question?

Monica and the other cheerleaders then approached the friends with no smiles on their face and arms folded. The tension was high as they all stared at each other.

Jennifer- Look, don't be mad at.... *As Monica interrupted her*

Monica- What you did out there was conniving, sneaky, devious...

Amelia- Look we didn't… *As Monica interrupted her again*

Monica- I wasn't done! *As she paused and stared them down* It was exactly what we were looking for! *As she smiled* Welcome to the team!

They all became ecstatic and began to rejoice as they hugged one another.

Monica- *As she smiled at Mason* You're kinda cute. *She flirted*

Mason- *As he blushed* And you're a lil thing yourself. *As they admired each other*

 Alright, alright let's head to the arcade in my house and get some food and drinks to celebrate.

Jennifer- Sounds like a plan to me.

Trish- Are we invited?

Monica- Trish? We're cheerleaders! We're always invited! *As she winked at Mason*

Amelia- *Looks at Dustin* Coming?

Dustin- Nah I'm just going to head home and rest my feet.

Amelia- You sure? I mean you and I can probably have that date. *She flirted*

Dustin then smiled relentlessly and Amelia placed his hand around her and they both walked out of the Gym.

SCENE FOUR

Jennifer, Amelia Tyrone and Dustin were in the arcade. Tyrone and Jennifer were playing pool and eating homemade pizza with cases of ice cold drinks on the counter. The cheerleaders were playing music and dancing. Amelia and Dustin were on the couch and they all had on sweats and was nice and comfy. She was laying in his arms while they were watching a movie on her laptop.

Tyrone- *As he shot* You can handle your stick I give you that.

Jennifer- I guess you just need to stop underestimating me Tye.

Tyrone- Really how about you put on that little cute skirt you had on earlier and cheer me on. *As he hit another ball in then missed at his second try*

Jennifer- Oh yeah? How about you put on those sexy basketball shorts and do a couple laps around me. * As she hit in three balls at once* Woahhhh that's what I'm talking about hot stuff! *Spanks his butt*

Tyrone- Man you played me. *As Jennifer jumped up and down* You fixed this table or something! *As he looked under it* I want a rematch.

Jennifer- Don't hate the player hate the game.

Amelia- *As she looked at Dustin* You okay?

Dustin- Yeah I am. *He smiled*

Amelia- You sure?

Dustin- *As he wrapped his arms around her* More than ever. *As he kissed her cheek*

Mr. and Mrs. Smith had just arrived. They heard the music and the laughing and saw the light on only in the arcade.

Mrs. Smith- I'm guessing they won their game.

Mr. Smith- Yeah and they're celebrating.

They then walked into the house and placed their coat on the rack and the keys on the key holder. The Smiths then walked into the kitchen and Mr. Smith poured a glass of milk.

Mrs. Smith- I guess dinner out was a good idea.

Mr. Smith- Yea. *As he placed his hands around her waist* Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?

Mrs. Smith- Every day since we were together.

Mr. Smith- I was thinking, Mason is about to hit senior year then college which will leave us alone. *As he kissed her neck*

Mrs. Smith- Alone? Alone sounds good!

Mr. Smith- It does! But I had a little something else in mind.

Mrs. Smith- Is it what I'm thinking?

Mr. Smith- I mean two is an even number right?

Mrs. Smith- Let's start tonight! *As she kissed him*

Mr. Smith- You took the words right out of my mouth!

They both then went upstairs and saw Tyrone and Jennifer in the hall with sheets and pillows conversing.

Mrs. Smith- Hey? How are you guys?

Tyrone- Good, good.

Jennifer- Just sitting talking, the arcade is a bit crowded.

Mr. Smith- Well no long talking if you need us my wife and I are on vacation for the night. So don't need us. *As he lifted her and took her in the room*

Mrs. Smith- *As he kissed her neck she began to laugh hard* Good night kids!

Jennifer- Does old people still do that?

Tyrone- Ah come on, they're not that old! I think it's sorta romantic! They've been together for over 20 years and they're still deeply in love.

Jennifer- That's how I want to be when I get married. If I ever get married.

Tyrone- Yeah… *As he thought for a second* Miss Cheerleader. Wow! *As he smiled*

Jennifer- Who would have known? After cracking up in the front of the whole school.

Tyrone- But you did it.

Jennifer- Yeah after thinking it was over for me... High School has a way of surprising you that's for sure.

Tyrone- Yeah.. *As he smiled* High School.

On the other hand, Mason and Monica were in his room in his bed and they were making love.

Mason was on top of her and she was grabbing his back as he caressed her slowly and passionately. 

Things were getting pretty intense. 

Music played while she began to moan and they began to kiss. No one saw that coming; at least, not that fast.
