SCENE ONE





Bell rings.






Mason and Monica were in the hall way talking. She had on her cheerleading uniform and Mason was leaning on the locker while Monica was in the front of him with her hand around his neck.







Mason- I want to take you out this weekend.

Monica- You know I'm going to be busy trying to get the squad ready for this competition. We have a few days left. You can always take me out after it's over or whenever we get there. *As she smiled and kissed him* and tonight’s our fair.

Mason- Alright. But at least come over after. *As he smiled*

Monica- *As she smiled* You really can’t get enough of me can’t you?



Mason- Well.... you know... *As he teased*



Amelia then walked in with a few books in her hand and she was dressed unusual. Her hair was down she was dressed as if she wanted to be invisible. She walked to her locker which was two spots down from where Mason and Monica were. Monica then looked at Amelia and gave her a soft smile and Amelia gave a soft back.





But immediately behind Monica over her shoulder was Tyrone and when he looked at Amelia,  she quickly  revoked her smile and slammed her locker and walked away.







Monica- Wow, she's really upset.




Mason- Yeah, Amelia holds on to things very long trust me I know her. I think its best we stay clear for a while. *As he took her by the hand and walked away*






Meanwhile, it was lunch time and Amelia bought a drink vending machine. She then walked into the cafeteria where everyone was sitting. Jennifer then saw her and shouted out to her with a smile on her face.

Jennifer- Melia? Honey! Over here.

Amelia looked at Jennifer and saw them all sitting together.  Tyrone, Mason, Monica, Jennifer, Jordan, Trish, Emily and Santanio were all talking and laughing among-st each other with out Amelia. 



Tyrone then looked up and he tried to make eye contact but Amelia then got her hoody placed it over her head, swallowed some of her drink and rushed out of the cafe.

Jennifer- What just happened?


Mason- Maybe it was Jordan's breath! *As everyone laughed*

Jordan- Hahaha, *He said sarcastically* My breath does not stink okay?



Jordan then slowly turned away to smell his own breath and everyone saw and began to laugh again. 



Meanwhile, Amelia was in the hall way and she looked depress until she saw Dustin, he then walked up to her and hugged her.

Amelia- Ugh *As she squeezed him* You don't know how happy I am to see you.




Dustin- Same here. Are you ok?

Amelia- Sigh, I guess.. I  missed you,  and you haven't returned my calls!




Dustin- I was giving you space, you and your dad really needed time alone.





Amelia- *As she held her face* Oh god! I really am sorry for the way I acted last week, I'm even afraid to face your mom. I really don't think it's a good idea for me to come over anytime soon.

Dustin- Yeah I agree.

Amelia- You do….? *As she look confused*




Dustin- Yeah... *As he looked at her* No...? No! No! *As he tried to study her facial expressions*






Amelia- Dustin? It's either yes or no!






Dustin- Oh I don't know! I just think you need time you know? To get through this...

Amelia- This isn't going to fix itself over night! I was embarrassed! In front of everyone! And my friends were lying to me this whole time! *As she shouted and people looked*





Dustin-  I get it. I just think you picked the wrong time.

Amelia- *As she became angry and confused he said that* I picked the wrong Time? *As she laughed* So this is my fault? I did this? Not the girl who told the entire world that my mom was banging another man? Un- Be-Lievable! 

Dustin- *Breathes* I didn't mean it like that. Look just take a breather ok? I don’t want you to get worked up and angry.




Amelia- Well, too late! *As she walked away*



Dustin- Amelia, wait!






Amelia- Just give me my "space"! *She shook her head and continued walking and left Dustin standing there*




On the other hand, Khallip was sitting outside on his laptop listening to music when he saw Amelia walk by. Amelia then walked under the big tree and sat on the bench. No one else was on the outside but those two. He then got up and walked towards her.

Khallip- Are you okay?

Amelia- Does it look like?

Khallip- Woah, woah there. I'm sorry for asking... I'll leave.

Amelia- Sigh, No I'm sorry, I’m sorry. Just... *As she kept looking down sadly*

Khallip- Sigh, need to vent?

Amelia- Scream, punch a wall, jump off a building..*As she laughed* It's just that I've been going through some things...

They both then finally looked at each other and stared for a while.

Amelia, Khallip- Wait, don't I know you?




Amelia- You're that guy with from the cleaners.



Khallip- And you're the girl who thought I wanted her number.





Amelia- Ugh... About that... sorry...

Khallip- I guess a lot of guys hit on you don't they? *As he smiled*




Amelia- Actually... no they... no they don't... Weird that I thought you were.




Khallip- Maybe you just wanted me to. *As he teased*




Amelia- *She stared and gave a long pause* 

Khallip- Kidding...

Amelia- Of course you were...

Khallip- So how did this important event go with that beautiful dress?

Amelia- Ugh that was...sigh terrible. I got into this huge fight at the party with some girl. I found out something terrible about my mom and I basically shut down the entire thing.

Khallip- Wow, so I guess the saying isn't true.

Amelia- What?

Khallip- That pretty girls don't fight. *He flirted*

Amelia then smiled and there was a period of silence. Immediately after she tried to break the tension.

Amelia- So the cleaners, is that like a.. "I need money so I have to suck it up and work here" kind of thing or...

Khallip- *As he smiled* It's my grandma's. I do it to help her out. I don't let her pay me for it. I just do it because... well... she's my grandma.

Amelia- Awe that is so sweet of you.

Khallip- Anything for her. *As he smiled*

Amelia-  *As she looked away* I really don't want to be here. Sigh I just...

Khallip- Wanna ditch? *As they both stood up and begun to walk*

Amelia- Like school?

Khallip- Yes like school! *As he smiled*

Amelia- The offer sounds tempting but I really don't think my boyfriend would like that. He maybe a pain in the ass but he's my pain in the ass.

Khallip- Awesome way to friend zone me, however, I meant to ditch as friends. Because we're just friends... Aren't we?

Amelia- I don't even know you. 



Khallip- I'm Khallip. *As he lended out his hand*

Amelia- Amelia. *As she shook his hand and smiled*


Khallip- Well would you look at that?

Amelia- What?

Khallip- Someone's smiling. Still sad?

Amelia- Actually, no I'm not. *As she smiled*

Khallip- Then my work here is done. *As he smiled and walked away*




Amelia- Hey are you coming to our fair tonight?


Khallip- Didn’t really thought about it.

Amelia- Come on, it should be fun. The movie starts at 8.

Khallip- Is that an invite?

Amelia- Maybe. *As she smirked*

Khallip- Then maybe I’ll come. *As he smiled and walked away*












SCENE TWO






Meanwhile, the guys were at Dustin's house outside by the pool. They were hanging out and being lazy.






Jordan- Oh my God isn't this the life. *As he laid out in the hot tub* You think they got one of these at the hotel? Because I may just stay here and let you guys go to street legends.





Tyrone- Let's be real, you just like that rush of water shoot up your butt don't you? Someone's got a secret. *As he said in wining voice and they all laughed*

Jordan- Ha-ha-ha very funny. *As he said sarcastically*

Vincent- I mean it would all make a lot of sense now that I think about it. *As he teased* I see your lil locker room happy time. 

Jordan- Screw you! I like girls.

Tyrone- Yeah and boys. *As they all laughed*


Mason- Nah man, let my bro live okay? He can come out the closet on his own terms. *As he teased*

Jordan- Thank you... *As he caught himself moments later* HEYYYY! *As they all laughed* I am not gay! 

Vincent- I believe you, I believe you! *As he laughed* Besides you all left the fair to come here and swim in a pool filled with dudes... who's really the fruity ones here? 

Mason- He's got a point. *As he shook his head* Using me for my pool.

Dustin- But this is my house though!

Mason- Pssh, you don’t have to rub it in.


Jordan- We did what we had to. We help them set up we got a lot of people to attend. Our job there was done.

Tyrone- The movie doesn’t start until 8 we’ve got a lot of time.

All the guys' phone then rang off except Dustin, he had no new messages.

Jayme- It's bae. *As he smiled*

Mason- Monica is asking if we’re coming to the movie.

Carlos- My girl just asked me too.

Dustin- Well let’s just go over to the school.

Jordan- Really? I was getting comfortable.

Dustin- Comfortable in a pool filled of dudes when the ladies are at the school waiting for us to cuddle with them during the movie?




They all the paused and gave a deep thought as to what Dustin had said.

Mason- Sounds a little fruity to me. *As he put his hand on Jordans shoulder* 

After realizing what they were doing and how it really looked, they all rushed out of the pool and into the house. 






Dustin- Hey, hey dry off, don’t go in there all wet! If one of you slip and break one of mom’s china’s she’ll kill you.




Vincent- Dus, is you worrying about china?

Tyrone- Rich people problems.

Mrs. Prescott then walked by with a few bags in her hands as the boys were headed in.

Mrs. Prescott- You’re still here? Isn’t your school having a movie night?




Dustin- Yeah, We’re headed there now.


Dustin then got up and walked in with his mom. She then stopped and watched him walk pass her and sensed something was wrong. She placed down the bags on the counter and followed him out back.

Mrs. Prescott- Dustin? What's wrong? Haven’t you and Amelia talked things out as yet?

Dustin- Sigh, Amelia won't answer my calls nor would she return them.

Mrs. Prescott- Well did you do something wrong? Don't tell me she's upset that you didn't run behind her.

Dustin- No, I simply took your advice to give her space. So I told her that it's best she doesn't come over for a while and take time to herself. But it I know she needs me and it didn't feel right in my heart to tell her that. I just wanted to be there for her and make her feel better.

Mrs. Prescott- Oh son, no, no, no. You took what I said all wrong. I would never allow you to do something that doesn't feel right in your heart Dustin! Don't you know that?



Dustin- Ugh! Mom….

Mrs. Prescott- I just meant that night she needed her dad. Only he could have fixed it because she probably had so many questions, so many mixed feelings that only he could help her with. But now... she probably needs you.



Dustin- She's probably furious right now.

Mrs. Prescott- Then, go and make things right.

Dustin- What should I do?

Mrs. Prescott- She's your girlfriend; you should know her better than anyone.

Dustin- You’re right. Oh yeah and next time, I don’t think I need your advice In fact...




Mrs. Prescott- Go!






Dustin- Okay! *As he laughed and walked away*




Meanwhile, Jennifer was at home upstairs in her room. She then got a text about the movie night an made up her face in disgust.




Jennifer- Movie night? *As she paused* I'll pass.

She then got up and walked down stairs. On the other hand, her parents Mr. and Mrs. Carson were down stairs in a business meeting with a client and her son.

Mrs. Carson- You can't just invest in anything! You have to see the history, their marketing... They are procedures that are mandatory.

Mrs. Benson- Yeah I know and I'm willing to allow you to see these things, I mean think about it, if you invest in this company you can't go wrong. I'll show you the history; I'll put my name on the line that's how sure I am about a return on your investment.

Mrs. Carson- Then show me it.

Mrs. Benson then smiled and turned to her son Damian.

Mrs. Benson- Damian, fetch me the file out of your brief case please.

Mr. Carson- Not to be rude but why is your son in the middle of this confidential meeting?

Mrs. Benson- He's going to take over the business after me so he has to observe everything. Just how you're here in the middle me and you wife's meeting. *As she smirked* I mean didn't you train your kids?

Damian- And I'm sure you are aware that the only way to be a part of a family business is to grow into it and to learn the ins and outs of the running and moderation. I'm sorry, but I wanted to know if I can help myself to some water please?

Jennifer then walked in un-expectantly with earphones in her ears not paying attention to what was going on

Jennifer- Mom can I talk to you… *As she realized that she was interrupting a meeting*


Mrs. Carson- Jennifer? *As she got upset*

Jennifer- I'm sorry mom I didn't know you had guests.




Mrs. Carson- What did your father and I tell you? *As Mr. Carson was on his cell phone* Always knock before you enter.




Jennifer- It's late mom. Almost 9 I didn't know you held meetings so late. I'm sorry.

Mrs. Carson- That's not the point! Jennifer don't allow me to ever have this conversation again!




Jennifer- First conversation we've ever had in years. *As she mumbled*




Mr. Carson- *As he hung up* What was that?

Jennifer- Oh nothing, I'm just remembering what great parents you are.

Mr. Carson- While you're at it, show Damian to the kitchen he'd like a glass of water.

Jennifer- It would be my pleasure. *As she smiled and when she turned her back she rolled her eyes*


Both Damian and Jennifer walked out of the office and into the kitchen.

Mrs. Benson- Well you didn't have to be so hard on her.

Mrs. Carson- My daughter is hand full trust me when I said I handled her the way I'm suppose to!


Meanwhile, Jennifer took out a glass and opened the refrigerator.

Jennifer- So what do you want? Water, juice, wine, apple cider....

Damian- Water would be nice.

Jennifer- Sorry, I thought you were using that as a cover up. Because after dealing with my parents you'll need a glass of alcohol.

Damian- *As he laughed* No, thank you.

Jennifer then poured the water for Damian and handed it to him.

Jennifer- I'm sorry it wasn't nice for me to quickly judge. It's just that my parents drive me crazy they have a listening problem I assumed they do it to other people too.

Damian- *He quickly retorted with a smile* Oh they do. I just don't let it get to me you know.




Jennifer- Can you teach me? Because no matter how hard I try, they still get on my last nerves. You want to know a little secret? I actually walked in there intentionally I just love seeing the look on my moms face when she has no control of her perfect little world.




Damian- *Laughs* I like you! You're funny and I like that. *As he walked out of the kitchen*

Jennifer then stood there contemplating with a glass in her hand and she poured apple cider into it and begun to drink it.












SCENE THREE


Meanwhile, Amelia was sitting at the door collecting tickets for the movie. It was freezing so people brought blankets and sheets. Amelia phone then rang off. She checked it and it was a text from Khallip. He said "Hey beautiful ;)". Amelia gave recognition to his setting name which was "Khallip Jr.” and texted back with a smile on her face saying "Khallip?.. How'd you get my number?" Immediately her phone rang again and he said "I've got my ways.. :D" she then sat up and quickly responded. "So much for privacy!" Khallip then responded and said "I'm sorry, I just thought after that conversation today you'd need a friend to talk to. I'm here if you need me..." Amelia then paused before responding and she drifted into deep thought.

Monica- Awes someone seems happy!






Amelia- *As she smiled for a second then looked up* Huh?

Monica- I don't mean to butt in but I just can't help seeing you smiling at your phone. Is it Dustin that's responsible for happy Amelia?

Amelia- Actually.... This isn't him it's a friend I met. But it's nothing.

Monica- Oh. Okay..*As he paused* Does Dustin know him?

Amelia- Monica......? *As she wined* What makes you think it’s a “him”? 




Monica- Well is it?





Amelia- Here’s your band, enjoy your movie!

Monica- Okay, okay it's not my business. 




Amelia- Goodnight. And enjoy your movie*As she collected another ticket*


Amelia then drifted into deep thought again. After which, she picked up her phone and began to type to Khallip saying "Hey you there..?" But before she could press send she heard a voice called out to her and when she looked up it was Dustin.

Dustin- Amelia?




He had flowers and gummy worms in his hand. Amelia's face then dropped into disappointment and she tried to walk into the Movie.

Amelia- Ugh I don’t want to talk! *She scorned*




Dustin then quickly pushed the door to avoid it from closing and walked in.

Dustin- Babe wait!

Amelia- What do you want?

Dustin- *As he went on one knee* My girl back. Amelia I'm sorry for acting like a jerk, you know I love you and I promise I won't ever do that again.

Amelia then folded her arms and looked away.

Amelia- You really let me down Dustin, I mean I know what I did wasn't cool…*As she held a vulnerable look* And I'm not proud of it but, you made me feel worst,  like I embarrassed you, like, like you're ashamed of me. What happened that night had nothing to do with you.  I'm the one in shame, I'm the one hurting but I've forgiven myself. Because I can't beat myself up about this anymore...

Dustin- Exactly, I really don't care what anyone thinks, it's you that matters. It's you and it will always be you, Amelia. *As he came closer*






Amelia then folded her arms and looked away.

Dustin- *As he got up and went closer to her and began to smile* God you're cute when your angry! *As he kissed her*

Amelia- Then I'm about to get crazy adorable.

Dustin- As long as your mine while you're doing it.

Amelia- *As she looked at the things he brought* Only because I want those gummy worms. *As she took it.

Dustin- As long as you forgive me.

Amelia- I'm still mad at you. *As she took the flowers also* I just wish you were a little more supportive and understanding. *As she walked back by the door to close it because the movie was about to start*

Dustin- *As he ran behind her* Then let me make it up to you.

Amelia- *As she smiled* I'm waiting... *As she faced him*

Dustin then lifted Amelia up and begun to kiss her as he dropped the flowers and Amelia placed a gummy worm in her mouth. Dustin the tried to take it from her but failed. They began to laugh and were a bit playful but then again, they were making up.


 The movie had started and Amelia got the key to lock the door, when the basketball team rushed towards the door before she was able to lock it.

Jordan- Wait up, wait up!

Mason- Has the movie started yet?

Amelia- Where are your tickets?

Vincent- There's a wall. *As placed his hands up and in front of Amelia's face* We don't need that negative energy! * As the all rushed in*

Amelia- Gasps…. How rude!

Dustin- *As he laughed* Let’s get our seats.




Jennifer- Hey over here! *As she waved from a distance*




Amelia- Oh, there’s Jen… *As she hesitated*

Dustin- Be nice…

Amelia- I'm not ready to talk to them yet. I need time.




Dustin- Take all the time that you need. 



Amelia then walked away and Jennifer was confused. She sat a few spaces down from her in  between Dustin’s legs and rested in his arms while they covered with their blankets. The Basketball team came in with food, popcorn, pizza and hot dog as they sat with together next to Amelia and Dustin.

Jordan- Dang, we had really good turnout.

Amelia- Did he just say we?

Vincent- *As he was eating popcorn* We hooked up that huge screen, so yeah we.

Amelia- *As she hit the popcorn out of Vincent’s hand* Oops. 

Vincent- You meant doing that.

Amelia- You complain a lot for a guy that came in here for free.




Vincent- *As he got up* Dust you better get your girl. Before I get her.

Amelia- *As she threw popcorn at him* What you need to get, is that butt off of the bench every game. Bench warmer.

Basketball team- Ooooooooh!

Everyone- Sssshh.

The movie was on and everyone was watching comfortably with their blankets and pajamas. They all became captivated as they stared at the screen and the movie hit its climax. Jennifer kept looking at Amelia, sadly. She missed her and wanted to talk to her but Amelia ignored her. She ignored them all and didn't make any eye contact.

Meanwhile, the cheer squad were practicing and they looked extremely exhausted. Monica was really working them hard. The stunts were perplexing and to add on, the sun was at its peak.

Monica- Okay five, six, seven, eight..




Trish and Amelia as placed in the air while Jennifer was on their shoulders with the splits.

Monica- Perfect. Twirl and spin.

Jennifer then lost her balance and dropped to the floor.




Monica- What the hell was that?? Do it again now!

Trish- M? We're really tired can we have a water break?

Monica- You want water? Work for it! Now let's go! Five, six, seven, eight!

They then tried again and Monica looked up and saw Courtney and her friend Britney. She then walked towards them.

Monica- I'll be right back. Keep doing it.

She then walked up to Courtney with her hands in her sweater pocket.

Monica- L-O-S-T?




Courtney- *Laughs* Those exact words you'll hear the night of the competition.




Monica- You'd like that wouldn't you?

Courtney- Yeah, I'd also Love it if you dropped out too. I mean look at your squad, I see no competition. Your girls are lazy and your routines are sloppy but just my opinion.

Monica- You talk as if your opinion matters? My girls are tighter than your squad would ever be! I’m glad you didn’t see them an hour ago because you may have gotten scared and dropped out of the competition and I really can’t wait to beat you!



Courtney- *As she laughed* You’re delusional! 




Monica- Only delusional person here is you if think those thin bitches you call a squad who only know how to do cartwheels can actually beat us!. 




Courtney- Bring it!




Monica- All-Ready-Brought! *As she came directly face to face with Courtney*




The tension then raised as they stared at each other waiting for someone to react but Monica smiled and Courtney get upset.

Courtney- Ugh! *As she turned around and walked away*




Monica then walked towards her squad and they had stopped and were looking at her.

Trish- What was that all about?

Megan- Yeah why the hell was Courtney at our practice?

Monica- You know how they are very competitive! Don't pay it any mind I got it handled! Let's go ladies again from the top. Five, six, seven, eight.

They then placed Amelia and Trish in the air and everyone was cranky. Sabree, Santonio and Emily then began shaking.




Jennifer- Monica we're tired.

Monica- You're not tired you guys are just putting on too much weight! Jennifer when did your thighs get so huge? Emily? Sports bra please! Amelia stop eating yourself into a depression!

Santonio then dropped Amelia and they all became astonished by what Monica said and Amelia got up and walked towards Monica.

Amelia- Excuse me? 

Emily- Yeah! It's not my fault I'm a part of a family with big boobs.

Monica- You know I didn't mean it that way.

Amelia- We know nothing Monica! We simply ask for a break and your ass is just coaching you're not up here in the sun and being tossed into the air over and over and getting hurt Monica!

Trish- Yeah like I've never seen you so competitive. What's gotten into you?




Monica- I'm fine! I'm good. I want us to be ready, I want us to win. We need to get this routine and these stunts perfect. Jennifer what's up with the sponsors?

Jennifer- Huh?




Monica- Yet you all want a break? Fine take a break! Be as long as you want. Because you all clearly have it all under control. So imma sit back and watch Westridge team kick your asses. *As she sat down and placed her earphones in* The guys basketball team were out here and they were jogging from 4am! Dustin has those guys ready and whipped into shape. Because unlike some people, they're actually taking this serious!  But go ahead don't let me stop you. You guys want to be lazy and break? I'd love to see you take home the title of street legends with that mindset.



Emily- Ugh!

Amelia- You do know she's right?

Megan- That's what I was afraid of.

Trish- Okay suck it up, we'll throw in another half an hour and get this routine together. She's right, we have to put in the work in order to win this competition. 

Santonio- Alright lets do this. Let's go! Let's go! 




Jennifer- *As she walked up to Monica* Let's do this please.

Monica- Oh now you're ready? I thought you needed a break.

Jennifer- *As she pulled her hand* Hearing you lecture us was enough.




Monica- I also have another assignment for you.

Trish- Please don’t be a new stunt, please don’t be a new stunt.

Monica- No…. It’s not a new stunt. How many of you have applied for colleges already?

Amelia held a hugged smile a raised her hand up in excitement as if she was extremely proud. 



However, only she and Santonio had raised their hands.

Monica- Wow! I have a squad of 25 and only two of you have applied for colleges.

Megan- We just haven’t gotten around to it. We aren’t seniors yet so we’ve got time.

Monica- Haven’t gotten around to it? You’ve got time? Oh ok, um Emily? When do you graduate?


Emily- This summer.

Monica- This summer. Yeah um and how many months are there until this summer? 

Emily- I don’t know six? Seven?

Monica- *As she laughed sarcastically* Six or Seven months! And what’s your reason for not applying? 

Emily- Well.. *As Monica interrupted* 

Monica- No wait let me guess, you never got around to it.

Emily- Well it’s not hard. I passed my SAT’s. I’m an honors student.

Monica- Yeah that’s you but my point is you’re a senior and still haven’t gotten to it yet!

The basketball team was next to the cheerleaders and they were out of breath as they took a two minute break. Mason and Jordan were ease dropping and pretending they were exercising.




Santonio- Emily that’s good, I took my SAT’s and I got an ok grade. I’m a struggling 3.0 student and to be honest I don’t even know what I want to do with my life.

Trish- Who does? Look I’m all for applying for college. That’s automatic, but when we talk college we’re talking about this stage right here being over with. The friends, the squad and life starting.

Monica- That’s inevitable. Unfortunately the moment doesnt last forever. But we’ll always be friends; we’ll always be a squad no matter what. As annoying as Amelia is…

Amelia- Heyyy?


Monica- She literally made us sign up for a bunch of colleges and that really opened my eyes and motivated me to motivate you. So that’s your assignment; I want you all to apply for at least four different colleges, of your choice. And I want them done and submitted by the the end of the semester. Use this as inspiration to actually figure out what the hell it is you'd like to do with your life.

Jordan- Does that apply for us too?




Mason- *As she hit him for talking* Sssh.


Jordan- What? I’m going to apply to Harvard or Yale.  

Amelia- Bshhh please, You know you're going to Everest.

Everyone then laughed including Mason and Jordan kept a straight face.




Mason- I say I-C-D-C. *As he rapped the ICDC College commercial*

Everyone- Whaat? *As they helped help*

Mason- I-C-D-C college. 

Everyone- I-C-D-C College. *As they laughed* For me.


Jordan- Man, forget y’all. *As he walked away*


Mason- Come on man, it was a joke. *As he walked behind him*




Monica- *As she laughed* With that being said. Let’s pick this up tomorrow.








SCENE FOUR


Meanwhile, Dustin was at the Pizzaria with his team mates and they were laughing conversing and waiting for their food.




Vincent- Game was so crazy.

Devin- For real, that win was so easy I didn't break a sweat on those armatures.

Jordan- Devin please. First second in the game you were complaining.

Dustin- *Laughs* After he saw those huge players, one touch he was yelling ”Ugh cramp!”


*As they all laughed*



Tyrone- Sub! Sub?



Dustin- *Laughs* Man you guys are crazy. I'm going to grab a Gatorade. You guys need anything from the counter?




Vincent- Nah, we're good.

Dustin then walked towards the Cashier to order a drink.


Dustin- Hey can I get a Gatorade please?

Cashier- Sure, which one?

Dustin- Ugh blue please. Thanks.

Courtney then walked in and she didn't see Dustin and she begun to get the cashiers attention. Meanwhile, Jordan those saw her and became paranoid.

Jordan- Oh this isn't good!




Tyrone- What?

Vincent- That's not who I think it is. Is it?

Devin- Benson!

Courtney- Hey? I came to pick up please?

Cashier- Name?

Courtney- Benson, Courtney Benson.




Dustin- *As he looked down at her* Courtney?




Courtney- Dus? *As she smiled* How are you?





Dustin- Courtney? *As he stared*





Courtney- *As she laughed* It’s been a while I know. I’ve missed you. I must say. But you know what since street legends is coming up we should stay in touch here's my number. *As she took his phone out of his hand and stored her number* Use it. *As she smiled and winked*




Cashier- Benson?

Courtney- *As she gave them the money* That's me! *As she took the food* See you around. *As she left*




Jordan- This isn't good!

Tyrone- Did I just see that chick give Dus her number?




Vincent- She's back!

Mason- The hell is going on?

Dustin then walked towards his friends without his drink and was staring.





Devin- What was that? What did she say?

Dustin- Courtney...

Jordan- Awe mane! Snap out of it! Courtney? Bad! Ex's are bad! Especially the ones that hurt you and turned your life upside down!




Dustin- I always thought… what would I do if I saw her again? And I spaced out.




Jordan- In this case, spacing out was best yo. *As the waitress brought their pizzas* Look here's our pizza forget her. You got yourself a new chick a better one. Amelia.

Dustin- I know... I know... and you're right. 




Carlos- Yeah so forget Benson.

On the other hand, Jennifer was at home and her parents were in the living room busy with signing checks and sorting documents. Jennifer knew it was a bad time to talk to them because they would not listen and their response would be redundant but that was her purpose for choosing this time.

Jennifer- Mom? Dad?

Mrs. Carson- Busy sweetie what is it?

Jennifer- Have you thought about the sponsor yet for the cheer squad? The street legends can be called at any minute and we really need a down payment for our spots to be held.




Mrs. Carson- These aren't adding up..*As he held the paper* I've given it some thought and honey I think I'm going to give Mrs. Benson a try. I'm going to invest partially and we'll see how that goes.





Mr. Carson- If you really have faith in her and in her idea they let's do it!




Jennifer- Hello? Did you even hear me or acknowledged what I said?




Mrs. Carson- Not now Jen... I'm busy! Why don't you go over to a friend’s house or better yet here's my card. Buy something nice. *As she rushed away*




Jennifer- *As she held the card in her hand staring* You are the most careless parents ever.




*Doorbell rings*

No one moved. Jennifer's dad continued adding up the previous investments and her mom continued signing her checks.

Jennifer- Oh it's okay, I'll get it. *She said sarcastically* As always.

Jennifer then opened the door it was Damian and his mom. Mrs. Benson was on the phone.

Jennifer- Damian? *As she was shocked* You're here again?


Damian- *As he smiled* Yeah I'm working with my mom. Is your parents here.

Jennifer-  Sure right this way.



Mrs. Benson- *As she was on the phone* I told you 50/50 is very risky if you want to be sure....of course....look I have to go. Call me later let me know what u decide. *As she hung up* Hey I'm sorry, how are you? It's Jennifer right?

Jennifer- I'm good. *As she smiled* And yes it is.

Mrs. Benson- That's wonderful sweetie.

Mrs.  Carson- Ahh, the Bensons! You're right on time. Right this way.

They then walked away and Jennifer begun to stare at the card again and had an idea. Meanwhile, Monica was at home and her parents were down stairs in the living room looking through their bills. Monica saw their facial expression and she knew something wasn't right. Finally, she build up the courage to ask her parents what was going on.

Monica- Mom? Dad? What's the matter?





Monica's mom and dad looked at each other contemplating on who was going to break the news to her. There was then a moment of silence as they all stared.

Monica- Is someone going to answer me or not?


Monica's mom- Honey...*As she paused* Your father lost his job and I ugh...sigh. Let's just say my pay check can't keep up with all the bills. We might lose our home.






Monica- What? How? No! Mom, I can get a job; I can help...

Monica's Dad- Oh sweet heart, you need to focus on school and on cheering. Let your mom and I handle this.

Monica- This is a big deal dad. I have little sisters how can I not focus on this? Is there anything I can do?

Monica's mom- At this point? We need a miracle. *As she got up* I'm going to get dinner ready can u get your sisters and tell them to get cleaned up for dinner?

Monica- No problem mom.

Monica then went upstairs and to get her three sisters, Mellissa and the twins Maze and Hazel. Monica was in the twins bedroom and they saw that Monica seemed a bit sad and Hazel took her hair and placed it behind her ear.




Hazel- Monica what's wrong?

Monica- Nothing's wrong. I'm just getting you ready for dinner.

Maze- *As she squeezed Monica's cheeks* M? We know something's wrong. Please tell us, we can keep a secret.





Hazel- Yeah, we promise.

Monica- *As she smiled* Yeah? Okay well it gets kinda lonely at nights, and I could really use the company. To keep me from feeling so sad at nights. Would you two like to have a sleep over in my room? We can eat popcorn and stay up watching movies.

Hazel, Maze- Oh yeah!




Maze- I'd love that!

Monica- I'd love that too! *As she hugged them* Now go down stairs and get ready for dinner.

The twins then ran down stairs and Mellissa stood by the door.




Mellissa- Wow! You're real good.

Monica- I don't know what you're talking about.




Mellissa- Cut the crap Em. Tell me what’s really going on!




Monica- *As she stood up* Firstly, don't you dare talk to me like that! And whatever it is, it doesn't concern you! It's nothing that you should be worried about. Now get out!





Mellissa- Sigh, I'm sorry. I just know mom and dad have bene a little off lately and you probably know what's going on.




Monica- Apology accepted. But like I said, it's nothing you should be worried about Mellissa. Now be the good little girl you are and go downstairs. Dinner is ready.






Mellissa then left feeling sorry and Monica closed her door and begun to walk around her room angry, and contemplating. Her phone then rang and it was Jennifer. She stared at it for a while before she answered.

Monica- Hello?

Jennifer- Guess who got us sponsors?




Monica- Shut-Up! *As she was surprised*




Jennifer- Emergency practice?

Monica- On it!

They then hung up and Monica smiled and with excitement, she screamed.

Monica- Yes!









Scene Five

Tyrone was in his room watching a movie close to falling asleep. Angelique then walked by his door, with a very wary aura as she knocked then walked in.

Angelique- Sigh.. Hey?




Tyrone- Hey. *As he gave no eye contact* 

Angelique- You haven't left your room all day....

Tyrone- Well I normally spend the day with Amelia but I clearly couldn't so.... I had nowhere else to go. *As he stared at the television*

Angelique- Is it all my fault? *As she begun to cry* Everybody's just... separated. It's like Deja Vu I feel like I'm 8 years old again and everybody hates me and wish that I'd just disapear. *Sniffs* Angelique the bitch, Angelique's evil and sneaky and a liar and a home wrecker. I can't be with you any more, I don't love you. You need to get out. You need to change. *As she ranted while thinking about her relationships* I am so tired of people saying these things about me all the time and honestly... I'm done. I'm not doing this any more. So I'm leaving. And I hope that you can forgive me.




Tyrone- You do this all the time. You make a huge mess and then you run away! Leaving us to patch up everything! Leaving us to clean up your dirt. So if you want to leave then go Ange. Just got





Angelique- No body wants me here Tyrone! *As she broke down*

Tyrone- Can you blame them? What you did was unacceptable! It really was. And I'm not going to lie to you, knowing Amelia she holds on to things forever if she can! It's been 8 years! EIGHT DAMN YEARS and she still hasn't forgiven you. I might not even get my best friend back. Just because you couldn't hold your tongue. You couldn't just keep your mouth shut.

Angelique- She didn't give me a choice! *As she shouted*

Tyrone- That's bull shit and you know it Ange! You weren't at her house or my house you were at her boyfriend's house. In the front of his family. You could have stayed clear of Amelia but no, you just had to keep exchanging words, you just had to keep running into her knowing... *As he raised his voice* knowing she doesn't like you!  Sigh I'm sorry for shouting... I'm sorry. *As he saw her cry* Look, you're right... people might not want you here. You did wrong Ange, what you said was the truth but you picked the wrong time and the wrong place to do it. You needed to be the bigger person and walk away.

Angelique- She was pushed me! 

Tyrone- And you pushed back.

Angelique- And I'm sorry. I'll just leave ok?

Tyrone- See here we go again. Leaving is always your one true option. You go MIA and years later you're back with chocolates and a smile... *As he shook his head* But not this time, you owe Amelia an apology. You both do. I don't want you to leave. But if you do that's on you. You're welcome to stay here as long as you like. But you have to apologize to Amelia.




Angelique- Ugh... fine. You're right. As usual.




Tyrone- Good. *As he smiled. Now come and watching this movie with me. I don't mind the company.



Angelique then smiled and hopped into bed with Tyrone. She pulled the covers over her and got comfortable.  April then walked in the room dressed in pajamas and ready for bed with her pillow in her hand.

April- Can I join please?


Tyrone- Of course! Hop on there's a lot of space for you.

April- Yay! *As she jumped in between them* 

Angelique- Yeah come right... *Before she was able to finish her sentence April jumped in the bed* okay!! *As she laughed*


April- What are we watching? 

Tyrone- Whatever you want.

April- Yay! This brings back so much memories! I really miss our movie nights.

Angelique- I don't remember us having movie nights... *As April was searching for a movie*

April- I meant Tye, Amelia and I. We always spent so much time together. She's the best and I wish she was here right now. *As she found a show she liked* Let's watch this!

Tyrone- *As he laughed* You have the same taste in movies that Amelia has. And let me tell you. It sucks. *As he teased April*




April- Heyyy? What do you have against Amelia and I? I'll have you know that this show got great reviews!

Tyrone- *As he laughed* Alright! Let's see.

Angelique then looked away and felt guilty. She not only broke up a friendship but also a family.




On the other hand, Dustin and Amelia were walking in his yard towards his front gate. She was a bit skeptical about going back to his house so soon but Dustin was relentless. He convinced her to come and was not taking no for an answer. 

Amelia- I'm not too sure about this Dus... I mean maybe your mom and dad are still angry with me. I literally ruined your family cookout. Gosh I'm so embarrassed. *As she turned around*




Dustin- *As he grabbed her hand* Amelia? You have nothing to worry about. My parents would never hold something like this against you. Never. Let's go in and have some dinner and head in the pool ok? *As he opened the gate and they walked in* 


Dustin's parents were sitting by the pool relaxing and and Mrs. Prescott was reading a book. Amelia and Dustin then walked in and Amelia stood behind Dustin embarrassed and really nervous.

Dustin- Hey?

Mrs. Prescott- Hey kids. Amelia, sweetheart... how are you? *As she said sincerely and placed down the book she was reading* 





Amelia- I'm... I'm so sorry about the other night. I don't know what came over me. I ruined your cook out and I'm truly sorry. I was just so angry and hurt. That Was not and Is not who I am. Or who my parents raised me to be.




Mrs. Prescott then got up and hugged Amelia. 







Mrs. Prescott-  Oh sweetheart it's ok.  Everything's ok. No need to apologize for being hurt. All that matters is that you're ok now.



Amelia- I am. I really am. *As she smile* Thank you for being so understanding and so kind. You could really teach your son a thing or two. *As she teased* But thank you.




Mrs. Prescott- Amelia, I know what it feels like to be hurt and betrayed. So it's ok. you are always welcome here. You make my son happy and as a mother I'd do anything to see him smile. So let's just forget that ever happened and move passed it ok?





Amelia- Already forgotten. *As she smiled*

Mrs. Prescott- Atta girl! So are you two joining us in the pool?


Amelia- If that's ok with you...

Mr. Prescott- Of course! Come on join us! 




Mrs. Prescott- *As Amelia placed down her bags on the chair* Yes, we can have our own little family night. Speaking of family, we are attending an art exhibit this weekend, you should come!

Amelia- I would love to... but are you guys sure? 

Mr. Prescott- Of course! You have nothing to worry about. You're family now.


Amelia- *As she smiled* You guys really are the best. I can't believe how kind you are to me. I really appreciate it. And I'd be honored to accompany you all to the art exhibit. 




Mrs. Prescott- Good! Now I didn't make dinner so I'm thinking we can hang out here tonight and order pizza?

Amelia- I would love that.

Dustin- Thanks mom.




Mrs. Prescott- Ok, I'll be right back. *As she walked inside*

Dustin- See... I told you, you have nothing to worry about. *As he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek*

Amelia- I guess you were right. I was just overreacting. Sigh I'm glad to be back here. *As she felt relieved*

Dustin- Where you belong. *As he smiled*

Amelia- Where I belong. *As they kissed*

Dustin- Want to go in the pool? 

Amelia- *As she smiled* I mean why else would I have on a bikini? *As she teased*

Dustin- *As he lifted her up* You and that smart ass mouth!




Amelia- *As she laughed while screaming a little* Ahaha! Dustin put me down! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. *As she laughed*

Dustin- What? I can't hear you. *As he started to put her down slowly*

Amelia- I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry.

Dustin- *As they both laughed* You don't understand how happy you make me.

Amelia- Then I guess the feelings mutual. *As she smiled and they stared each other in the eyes*

Dustin- *As he hugged her* I'm going to see what mom ordered maybe I can get them to throw in some cheesy sticks.

Amelia- My favorite. *As she smiled*

Dustin- As if I don't know my own girl? *As he winked* Get comfy I'll join you in a sec. *As he walked away*





Amelia then grabbed Dustin's hand and he looked back with a smile on his face.

Amelia- Thank you.

Dustin- For what?




Amelia- There's no way in hell your parents were that nice to me on their own. I know you had something to do with that so... thank you. *As she smiled sincerely*

Dustin did spoke to his parents and he did tell them to be nice to Amelia and that he really wanted to fix things with her. He also told them how happy she makes him but there was no way Amelia would have known that so he leaned over, kissed her, smiled and denied it.

Dustin- I have no idea what you're talking about.




Amelia- You do. *As she smiled* And I appreciate you for doing that. *As she walked away and so did Dustin*

Amelia then sat down smiling as she took off her dress with her bikini underneath and placed it on the chair. She then went into the pool. Meanwhile,  Dustin was in the kitchen with his mom, he then walked up behind her and she turned around to face him with a smile but in a facetious way.




Dustin- *As he laughed* What?

She didn't answer him but she continued looking at him that way, teasing him.

Dustin- Mom? Stop, stop! *As he laughed while feeling embarrassed*

Mrs. Prescott- Ok, ok! *As she placed her hands up surrendering* So you two are good?

Dustin- Mooom? *As he wined* 

Mrs. Prescott- I'm just asking! I'm glad that you two are back together and that you are happy.

Dustin- So am I. You don't understand, she's just so amazing. In every way.




Mrs. Prescott- Every way huh?

Dustin- Not that way! I mean maybe she is.. I mean not that we've.... I ugh... so about that pizza? *As he tried to change the topic*

Mrs. Prescott- Uh huh? *As she got the dish cloth and whacked him with it playfully* I hope that you're being safe! You are way too young to be a dad. And as much as I'd like to have grand kids running around my house, I'd like to see you graduate college and get married even more. 

Dustin- *As he laughed* Mom! I know!! Trust me. When it does happen I'll make sure ok? Now If you're done I'd like to stop talking about my sex life with my mom! 

Mrs. Prescott- Ok. *As she stared at him smiling* My baby is really growing up. Can believe you're still a virgin. *As Dustin opened his eyes huge as if he was not a virgin*



Mrs. Prescott- I mean are you? No you're not...? *As she gasps* And you did not tell me? When?? With who???

Dustin- Mooom? I am so not having this conversion with. Ok?

Mrs. Prescott- My sons having sex? Oh my God!




Dustin- *As peeped outside* Could you be any louder? Did you order the pizza already?

Mrs. Prescott- Yeah I did it should be here any minute. And don't worry I got cheesy sticks too.

Mrs. Prescott- You were ease dropping?

Mrs. I have no idea what you're talking about. *As she teased him* Everyone loves cheesy sticks.

Dustin- *As he laughed* Ahh mom...

Dustin then picked up his phone and messaged Amelia. She was sitting at the pool and she picked up her phone when it went off and read the message. 
"Hey beautiful, I miss you <3 "
Amelia then smiled and immediately texted back.
"Then what's taking you so long? You should be getting wet with me :p "

Dustin then laughed and leaned on the kitchen counter.
"Babyy, I was just talking to mom... be there soon :* "
Amelia then replied, "Ok I'll be waiting:* "

Dustin then rested his phone on the counter and walked towards the dining room when his phone went off again, twice. He then walked back to the kitchen 
 to check his messages.  Unexpectedly, it was a message from Courtney. Dustin the paused at a loss for words.
He then read her message. " Hey Dustin, It's Courtney. I had this feeling you weren't going to me so I decided to message you first. I'm sorry about what happened to us in the past..."
"Can we talk?"
Dustin then rested his phone down and sighed. When he was about to walk away she sent another message.
"Please?" 

Dustin then picked up his phone and said "What's there to talk about? *As he walked out of the kitchen with his phone in his hand* 
Courtney quickly replied. "Everything, especially how you made me eat jalapenos after telling me there were just pickles and then you promised me whatever I wanted you'll do to make it up to me. I never asked for anything since but I'm asking now." 
"Please let's talk"

Dustin then laughed slightly as he reminisced on that day. He responded "Fine, but not tonight."


Mrs. Prescott walked in from behind and heard Dustin's laugh. She then looked over his shoulder and he immediately closed the chat. 

Mrs. Prescott- Who's that?




Dustin- Ugh... no body. *As he locked his phone* Mom what's up with you? Why are you so invested in my life? You and dad really need some hobbies. *As he walked away*

Mrs. Prescott- Oh now I'm too invested huh? Well can you tell Amelia, your "Girl Friend" who's out back waiting on you that the pizza guy is going to bring the pizza to the back any minute now? *As she said mischievously* 

Dustin then looked down at his phone and saw his wall paper of he and Amelia laughing off guard while she was in his arms. He then smiled staring at his phone.

Dustin- My girl friend. *As he smiled* 

Meanwhile, Amelia was in the pool and Dustin walked out and took off his shirt and placed both his phone and shirt on the chair. Amelia was under water and Dustin slowly went in and at the same time Amelia was coming up. She then wiped her face and rushed her fingers through her hair while Dustin was still under water. He then snuck up to her underwater and pulled her down. She started panicking and screaming while under water and Dustin started laughing. When she saw it was him. She got up.






Dustin- *As he laughed* Babe, babe? It's only me. Relax.

Amelia- *As she shoved him* You scared me Dustin!

Dustin- *As he laughed I'm sorry. I was just playing. *As they both were floating in the water* Have I ever told you how beautiful you are? *As they stared at each other while coming closer*



Amelia- What do you want?

Dustin- *As he laughed* Come on baby nothing. I've got all I need right here close to me. *As he leaned in for a kiss*




Amelia then pushed Dustin's head under water and tried to sit on his head. She started laugh but Dustin started pulling Amelia down under water with him as well. They both ended up under water as they got back up to the top yelling and playing like kids. Mrs. Prescott heard them and walked outside.




Mrs. Prescott- What is going on out here?

Amelia was sitting on Dustin's shoulders and they both paused, while trying their hardest to hold back their laughter.

Pizza Guy- Delivery for the Prescott's?

Amelia then burst into laughter and Dustin flipped her over his head and into the pool and both the Pizza guy and Mrs. Prescott got wet.

Dustin- Oops...







Scene Six 


It was the night of Dustin's family's art exhibit. It was a very elegant and formal event. 




Amelia wore a long dress with an open back along with her mom's fluorescent necklace and earrings. Dustin on the other hand, had on a matching suit. And the two looked amazing as they held hands walking towards his family who were standing from a distance admiring a painting.

A waiter then walked up to them with a tray of classes filled with champagne and apple cider. 

Waiter- Care for a glass?






Amelia- Oh thank you. *As she Dustin grabbed a glass*




Waiter- My pleasure. Do enjoy. *As he smiled and walked away*

Mrs. Prescott- Ahh, I love this one. This painting show's more of who the artist is. 

Patty- I agree. It's like the artist painted his soul.

Amelia- Same thing my mom said. *As she smiled* 


Dustin- Your mom was an art fan.

Amelia- Pretty much. She use to take me behind her from I was a little girl to these art shows and art exhibits. She collected so many paintings over the years but when she passed my dad put them al in storage. But this was our thing. I loved coming with her to these.

Dustin- You do? What's your favorite painting?

Amelia- I'm glad you asked shall we? *As she smiled and lended out her hand*

Dustin- Lead the way. 

Amelia- Excuse us. *As she smiled and she and Dustin walked away*



They then begun to walk over to the other side of the museum, passing Dustin's cousins.

Sarah- She's still here? *As she stared at Amelia*

Francesca- I thought he would have gotten rid of her by now.




Amelia then paused because she heard what they said... not that they were whispering it. She then looked up at Dustin defenselessly, hoping he'd defend her.



 Dustin then got angry and turned around and walked towards his cousins and retorted.

Dustin- What is wrong with you all? You walk around like you're so perfect. Didn't you just got caught shop lifting? *As Sarah looked guilty and shocked that he knew* 





Dustin- I'm surprised they even let you in here Miss sticky fingers. You're not the most decent person yet here you are wearing a stollen dress acting like you're the most classiest person in the room when you really aren't. 


Dustin- And Francesca please don't get me started with you, you're adopted and you should be the most humble person here because quite frankly, no one likes you they only tolerate you specifically for this reason. You're mean and rude and care about no body but yourself. 

Francesca then gasped at a loss for words and Sarah stood there shocked and embarrassed.





Sarah- How dare you talk to her like that? How dare you talk to any of us like that? We're your family!

Dustin- How dare you talk to my girl like that? You all act like you're so perfect when really... you're not. With or with out aunt Patty's money you're a nobody. And you talk about family? Family doesn't treat each other like this.


Francesca- We did nothing to you!

Dustin-  You disrespected her which means you disrespected me. And quite frankly Amelia is just as much family or even more to me than you are. So you are going to respect her going forward or we're done. I hope I made myself clear.




Amelia then smiled and she kissed Dustin and his cousins got upset, rolled their eyes and stormed off. Amelia and Dustin then continued walking holding hands as she rested her head in his arms and he held her.

Amelia- Thank you for that.





Dustin- It needed to be done.

Amelia- It's didn't but you did it any way and I appreciate it. I really do.

Dustin then smiled at Amelia and they finally arrived to painting.


Amelia- This is it.

Dustin- Wow.

Amelia- This is the painting 

Dustin- This picture is on your Instagram.


Amelia- It is... *As she smiled slightly* You've been paying attention. You might just get an award for best boyfriend of the year.

Dustin- Well I only pay attention to things that captivates my interest. And you happen to be one of them. *As they flirted*

Amelia- Tell me what do you see when you look at this painting?


Dustin- Ugh... *As he stared at the painting* It's a village for starters... um and then there's this white shadow...

Amelia- *As she laughed slightly* No, don't describe the painting. Tell me what do you see, what is your understanding of the painting? What does it mean to you?

Dustin- Oh, well... it shows some sort of vulnerability. Like a village and the people are sitting ducks. They need help...? I don't know. You tell me. What does it mean to you?



Amelia- Well honestly, same as you. You see how the villagers over here are all vulnerable and oblivious. But there's this one person over here set out on a different path? He's about to head on this path where this "White thing" *As she teased* also knowns as a protective shield is. He wants more and he doesn't want to wait around like the others. And at the end of this shield there's this light but the others can't see it because of where they are. You can only see it if you are on this path. And the thing is he could see the light now but he couldn't when he was amongst the others. So he took a leap not knowing what the end of the road held just because he wanted more. This simply means that love is always there. Even when you can't see it or feel it its there. Even when you fight or argue it's there. But you can't sit around being a victim or vulnerable. You have to get up and set out to find out what's on the other side of things.  *As Dustin became captivated and stared down at Amelia and she looked up at the painting forgetting her surrounds*

Amelia- This shows that people forget that in order to achieve greatness you have to be willing to go the extra mile. Real love and hope stands forever. Even when you don't see it. Yes we will have our times when we can't stand to look at each other but when it's meant to be the light will lead us back to our home. To our people. To our family. To our love. *As she rubbed the painting*

Dustin- *As he stared at her* Wow! I didn't thought of it like that.

Amelia- Different Perspectives. You can't ever be wrong.




Dustin- *As he took her by the hand* Amelia? This is real right? This isn't just a high school love type of thing... but something that's actually going to last? Something real?

Amelia- Yes! 


Dustin- We can build together? Take care of each other, I got you, you got me right?

Amelia- Of course Dustin! With everything in me I want this.

Dustin- I realize that there's no other girl for me. *As he went down on one knee* You're all I want and need.

Amelia became afraid and her started beating and anxiety started rising as she saw Dustin go down on one knee.

Amelia- Dustin? What's going on? *As she felt afraid*




Dustin- I want to make it official. You've been nothing but the best to me. My best friend. My lovey, my annoying girl friend *As he laughed slightly but Amelia kept a serious face* My everything.

Amelia- Dustin? *As she said with a shaky voice*




Dustin- *As he went into his pocket and took out a box with a promise ring inside* Promise me that you'll never leave. Promise me that regardless to how big the problem, we'll fix it. But we aren't talking high school or college or a few months. We're talking forever. You and I. Best friends. Waking up to each other every morning. Helping each other. *As he opened the box and Amelia gasped* Promise me that now it's going to be you and I against the world. *As Amelia covered her mouth with tears rolling down her face* That's all I want from you, is a promise.


Amelia- I promise. With all my heart and every fiber of my being. I promise! *As Dustin placed the ring on her finger*




Dustin- *As he lifted her up* I promise too! I don't ever want to loose you.




Dustin's family stood from a distance watching and over hearing everything they said... Or maybe just ease dropping.


Mrs. Prescott- I knew it. Let's just hope this one works out.

Patty- Looks like Dustin's really growing up.

Mr. Prescott- What can I say? My son's in love. *As he smiled and held his wife*




Francesca- Well what you know? She might actually be apart of the family. *As she watched them kiss again*




Sarah- I wouldn't bet on it. Dustin has bad luck with girls. It always ends badly. *As she goggled back her champagne and walked away*

Mason and Monica were in the hall way talking. She had on her cheerleading uniform and Mason was leaning on the locker while Monica was in the front of him with her hand around his neck.







Mason- I want to take you out this weekend.

Monica- You know I'm going to be busy trying to get the squad ready for this competition. We have a few days left. You can always take me out after it's over or whenever we get there. *As she smiled and kissed him* and tonight’s our fair.

Mason- Alright. But at least come over after. *As he smiled*

Monica- *As she smiled* You really can’t get enough of me can’t you?



Mason- Well.... you know... *As he teased*



Amelia then walked in with a few books in her hand and she was dressed unusual. Her hair was down she was dressed as if she wanted to be invisible. She walked to her locker which was two spots down from where Mason and Monica were. Monica then looked at Amelia and gave her a soft smile and Amelia gave a soft back.





But immediately behind Monica over her shoulder was Tyrone and when he looked at Amelia,  she quickly  revoked her smile and slammed her locker and walked away.







Monica- Wow, she's really upset.




Mason- Yeah, Amelia holds on to things very long trust me I know her. I think its best we stay clear for a while. *As he took her by the hand and walked away*






Meanwhile, it was lunch time and Amelia bought a drink vending machine. She then walked into the cafeteria where everyone was sitting. Jennifer then saw her and shouted out to her with a smile on her face.

Jennifer- Melia? Honey! Over here.

Amelia then looked her way until she saw Tyrone there too and they were all laughing and talking without Amelia. Mason, Monica, Jennifer, Jordan, Trish, Emily, Tyrone.  



Tyrone then saw Amelia and he tried to give eye contact but Amelia then got her hoody placed it over her head walked away and swallowed her drink.


Jennifer- What just happened?


Mason- Maybe it was Jordan's breath! *As everyone laughed*

Jordan- Hahaha, *He said sarcastically* My breath does not stink okay?



Jordan then slowly turned away to smell his own breath and everyone saw and began to laugh again. 



Meanwhile, Amelia was in the hall way and she looked depress until she saw Dustin, he then walked up to her and hugged her.

Amelia- Ugh *As she squeezed him* You don't know how happy I am to see you.




Dustin- Same here. Are you ok?

Amelia- Sigh, I guess.. I  missed you,  and you haven't returned my calls!




Dustin- I was giving you space, you and your dad really needed time alone.





Amelia- *As she held her face* Oh god! I really am sorry for the way I acted last week, I'm even afraid to face your mom. I really don't think it's a good idea for me to come over anytime soon.

Dustin- Yeah I agree.

Amelia- You do….? *As she look confused*




Dustin- Yeah... *As he looked at her* No...? No! No! *As he tried to study her facial expressions*






Amelia- Dustin? It's either yes or no!






Dustin- Oh I don't know! I just think you need time you know? To get through this...

Amelia- This isn't going to fix itself over night! I was embarrassed! In front of everyone! And my friends were lying to me this whole time! *As she shouted and people looked*





Dustin-  I get it. I just think you picked the wrong time.

Amelia- *As she became angry and confused he said that* I picked the wrong Time? *As she laughed* So this is my fault? I did this? Not the girl who told the entire world that my mom was banging another man? Un- Be-Lievable! 

Dustin- *Breathes* I didn't mean it like that. Look just take a breather ok? I don’t want you to get worked up and angry.




Amelia- Well, too late! *As she walked away*



Dustin- Amelia, wait!






Amelia- Just give me my "space"! *She shook her head and continued walking and left Dustin standing there*




On the other hand, Khallip was sitting outside on his laptop listening to music when he saw Amelia walk by. Amelia then walked under the big tree and sat on the bench. No one else was on the outside but those two. He then got up and walked towards her.

Khallip- Are you okay?

Amelia- Does it look like?

Khallip- Woah, woah there. I'm sorry for asking... I'll leave.

Amelia- Sigh, No I'm sorry, I’m sorry. Just... *As she kept looking down sadly*

Khallip- Sigh, need to vent?

Amelia- Scream, punch a wall, jump off a building..*As she laughed* It's just that I've been going through some things...

They both then finally looked at each other and stared for a while.

Amelia, Khallip- Wait, don't I know you?




Amelia- You're that guy with from the cleaners.



Khallip- And you're the girl who thought I wanted her number.





Amelia- Ugh... About that... sorry...

Khallip- I guess a lot of guys hit on you don't they? *As he smiled*




Amelia- Actually... no they... no they don't... Weird that I thought you were.




Khallip- Maybe you just wanted me to. *As he teased*




Amelia- *She stared and gave a long pause* 

Khallip- Kidding...

Amelia- Of course you were...

Khallip- So how did this important event go with that beautiful dress?

Amelia- Ugh that was...sigh terrible. I got into this huge fight at the party with some girl. I found out something terrible about my mom and I basically shut down the entire thing.

Khallip- Wow, so I guess the saying isn't true.

Amelia- What?

Khallip- That pretty girls don't fight. *He flirted*

Amelia then smiled and there was a period of silence. Immediately after she tried to break the tension.

Amelia- So the cleaners, is that like a.. "I need money so I have to suck it up and work her"e kind of thing or...

Khallip- *As he smiled* It's my grandma's. I do it to help her out. I don't let her pay me for it. I just do it because... well... she's my grandma.

Amelia- Awe that is so sweet of you.

Khallip- Anything for her. *As he smiled*

Amelia-  *As she looked away* I really don't want to be here. Sigh I just...

Khallip- Wanna ditch? *As they both stood up and begun to walk*

Amelia- Like school?

Khallip- Yes like school! *As he smiled*

Amelia- The offer sounds tempting but I really don't think my boyfriend would like that. He maybe a pain in the ass but he's my pain in the ass.

Khallip- Awesome way to friend zone me, however, I meant to ditch as friends. Because we're just friends... Aren't we?

Amelia- I don't even know you. 



Khallip- I'm Khallip. *As he lended out his hand*

Amelia- Amelia. *As she shook his hand and smiled*


Khallip- Well would you look at that?

Amelia- What?

Khallip- Someone's smiling. Still sad?

Amelia- Actually, no I'm not. *As she smiled*

Khallip- Then my work here is done. *As he smiled and walked away*




Amelia- Hey are you coming to our fair tonight?


Khallip- Didn’t really thought about it.

Amelia- Come on, it should be fun. The movie starts at 8.

Khallip- Is that an invite?

Amelia- Maybe. *As she smirked*

Khallip- Then maybe I’ll come. *As he smiled and walked away*












SCENE TWO






Meanwhile, the guys were at Dustin's house outside by the pool. They were hanging out and being lazy.






Jordan- Oh my God isn't this the life. *As he laid out in the hot tub* You think they got one of these at the hotel? Because I may just stay here and let you guys go to street legends.





Tyrone- Let's be real, you just like that rush of water shoot up your butt don't you? Someone's got a secret. *As he said in wining voice and they all laughed*

Jordan- Ha-ha-ha very funny. *As he said sarcastically*

Vincent- I mean it would all make a lot of sense now that I think about it. *As he teased* I see your lil locker room happy time. 

Jordan- Screw you! I like girls.

Tyrone- Yeah and boys. *As they all laughed*


Mason- Nah man, let my bro live okay? He can come out the closet on his own terms. *As he teased*

Jordan- Thank you... *As he caught himself moments later* HEYYYY! *As they all laughed* I am not gay! 

Vincent- I believe you, I believe you! *As he laughed* Besides you all left the fair to come here and swim in a pool filled with dudes... who's really the fruity ones here? 

Mason- He's got a point. *As he shook his head* Using me for my pool.

Dustin- But this is my house though!

Mason- Pssh, you don’t have to rub it in.


Jordan- We did what we had to. We help them set up we got a lot of people to attend. Our job there was done.

Tyrone- The movie doesn’t start until 8 we’ve got a lot of time.

All the guys' phone then rang off except Dustin, he had no new messages.

Jayme- It's bae. *As he smiled*

Mason- Monica is asking if we’re coming to the movie.

Carlos- My girl just asked me too.

Dustin- Well let’s just go over to the school.

Jordan- Really? I was getting comfortable.

Dustin- Comfortable in a pool filled of dudes when the ladies are at the school waiting for us to cuddle with them during the movie?




They all the paused and gave a deep thought as to what Dustin had said.

Mason- Sounds a little fruity to me. *As he put his hand on Jordans shoulder* 

After realizing what they were doing and how it really looked, they all rushed out of the pool and into the house. 






Dustin- Hey, hey dry off, don’t go in there all wet! If one of you slip and break one of mom’s china’s she’ll kill you.




Vincent- Dus, is you worrying about china?

Tyrone- Rich people problems.

Mrs. Prescott then walked by with a few bags in her hands as the boys were headed in.

Mrs. Prescott- You’re still here? Isn’t your school having a movie night?




Dustin- Yeah, We’re headed there now.


Dustin then got up and walked in with his mom. She then stopped and watched him walk pass her and sensed something was wrong. She placed down the bags on the counter and followed him out back.

Mrs. Prescott- Dustin? What's wrong? Haven’t you and Amelia talked things out as yet?

Dustin- Sigh, Amelia won't answer my calls nor would she return them.

Mrs. Prescott- Well did you do something wrong? Don't tell me she's upset that you didn't run behind her.

Dustin- No, I simply took your advice to give her space. So I told her that it's best she doesn't come over for a while and take time to herself. But it I know she needs me and it didn't feel right in my heart to tell her that. I just wanted to be there for her and make her feel better.

Mrs. Prescott- Oh son, no, no, no. You took what I said all wrong. I would never allow you to do something that doesn't feel right in your heart Dustin! Don't you know that?



Dustin- Ugh! Mom….

Mrs. Prescott- I just meant that night she needed her dad. Only he could have fixed it because she probably had so many questions, so many mixed feelings that only he could help her with. But now... she probably needs you.



Dustin- She's probably furious right now.

Mrs. Prescott- Then, go and make things right.

Dustin- What should I do?

Mrs. Prescott- She's your girlfriend; you should know her better than anyone.

Dustin- You’re right. Oh yeah and next time, I don’t think I need your advice In fact...




Mrs. Prescott- Go!






Dustin- Okay! *As he laughed and walked away*




Meanwhile, Jennifer was at home upstairs in her room. She then got a text about the movie night an made up her face in disgust.




Jennifer- Movie night? *As she paused* I'll pass.

She then got up and walked down stairs. On the other hand, her parents Mr. and Mrs. Carson were down stairs in a business meeting with a client and her son.

Mrs. Carson- You can't just invest in anything! You have to see the history, their marketing... They are procedures that are mandatory.

Mrs. Benson- Yeah I know and I'm willing to allow you to see these things, I mean think about it, if you invest in this company you can't go wrong. I'll show you the history; I'll put my name on the line that's how sure I am about a return on your investment.

Mrs. Carson- Then show me it.

Mrs. Benson then smiled and turned to her son Damian.

Mrs. Benson- Damian, fetch me the file out of your brief case please.

Mr. Carson- Not to be rude but why is your son in the middle of this confidential meeting?

Mrs. Benson- He's going to take over the business after me so he has to observe everything. Just how you're here in the middle me and you wife's meeting. *As she smirked* I mean didn't you train your kids?

Damian- And I'm sure you are aware that the only way to be a part of a family business is to grow into it and to learn the ins and outs of the running and moderation. I'm sorry, but I wanted to know if I can help myself to some water please?

Jennifer then walked in un-expectantly with earphones in her ears not paying attention to what was going on

Jennifer- Mom can I talk to you… *As she realized that she was interrupting a meeting*


Mrs. Carson- Jennifer? *As she got upset*

Jennifer- I'm sorry mom I didn't know you had guests.




Mrs. Carson- What did your father and I tell you? *As Mr. Carson was on his cell phone* Always knock before you enter.




Jennifer- It's late mom. Almost 9 I didn't know you held meetings so late. I'm sorry.

Mrs. Carson- That's not the point! Jennifer don't allow me to ever have this conversation again!




Jennifer- First conversation we've ever had in years. *As she mumbled*




Mr. Carson- *As he hung up* What was that?

Jennifer- Oh nothing, I'm just remembering what great parents you are.

Mr. Carson- While you're at it, show Damian to the kitchen he'd like a glass of water.

Jennifer- It would be my pleasure. *As she smiled and when she turned her back she rolled her eyes*


Both Damian and Jennifer walked out of the office and into the kitchen.

Mrs. Benson- Well you didn't have to be so hard on her.

Mrs. Carson- My daughter is hand full trust me when I said I handled her the way I'm suppose to!


Meanwhile, Jennifer took out a glass and opened the refrigerator.

Jennifer- So what do you want? Water, juice, wine, apple cider....

Damian- Water would be nice.

Jennifer- Sorry, I thought you were using that as a cover up. Because after dealing with my parents you'll need a glass of alcohol.

Damian- *As he laughed* No, thank you.

Jennifer then poured the water for Damian and handed it to him.

Jennifer- I'm sorry it wasn't nice for me to quickly judge. It's just that my parents drive me crazy they have a listening problem I assumed they do it to other people too.

Damian- *He quickly retorted with a smile* Oh they do. I just don't let it get to me you know.




Jennifer- Can you teach me? Because no matter how hard I try, they still get on my last nerves. You want to know a little secret? I actually walked in there intentionally I just love seeing the look on my moms face when she has no control of her perfect little world.




Damian- *Laughs* I like you! You're funny and I like that. *As he walked out of the kitchen*

Jennifer then stood there contemplating with a glass in her hand and she poured apple cider into it and begun to drink it.












SCENE THREE


Meanwhile, Amelia was sitting at the door collecting tickets for the movie. It was freezing so people brought blankets and sheets. Amelia phone then rang off. She checked it and it was a text from Khallip. He said "Hey beautiful ;)". Amelia gave recognition to his setting name which was "Khallip Jr.” and texted back with a smile on her face saying "Khallip?.. How'd you get my number?" Immediately her phone rang again and he said "I've got my ways.. :D" she then sat up and quickly responded. "So much for privacy!" Khallip then responded and said "I'm sorry, I just thought after that conversation today you'd need a friend to talk to. I'm here if you need me..." Amelia then paused before responding and she drifted into deep thought.

Monica- Awes someone seems happy!






Amelia- *As she smiled for a second then looked up* Huh?

Monica- I don't mean to butt in but I just can't help seeing you smiling at your phone. Is it Dustin that's responsible for happy Amelia?

Amelia- Actually.... This isn't him it's a friend I met. But it's nothing.

Monica- Oh. Okay..*As he paused* Does Dustin know him?

Amelia- Monica......? *As she wined* What makes you think it’s a “him”? 




Monica- Well is it?





Amelia- Here’s your band, enjoy your movie!

Monica- Okay, okay it's not my business. 




Amelia- Goodnight. And enjoy your movie*As she collected another ticket*


Amelia then drifted into deep thought again. After which, she picked up her phone and began to type to Khallip saying "Hey you there..?" But before she could press send she heard a voice called out to her and when she looked up it was Dustin.

Dustin- Amelia?




He had flowers and gummy worms in his hand. Amelia's face then dropped into disappointment and she tried to walk into the Movie.

Amelia- Ugh I don’t want to talk! *She scorned*




Dustin then quickly pushed the door to avoid it from closing and walked in.

Dustin- Babe wait!

Amelia- What do you want?

Dustin- *As he went on one knee* My girl back. Amelia I'm sorry for acting like a jerk, you know I love you and I promise I won't ever do that again.

Amelia then folded her arms and looked away.

Amelia- You really let me down Dustin, I mean I know what I did wasn't cool…*As she held a vulnerable look* And I'm not proud of it but, you made me feel worst,  like I embarrassed you, like, like you're ashamed of me. What happened that night had nothing to do with you.  I'm the one in shame, I'm the one hurting but I've forgiven myself. Because I can't beat myself up about this anymore...

Dustin- Exactly, I really don't care what anyone thinks, it's you that matters. It's you and it will always be you, Amelia. *As he came closer*






Amelia then folded her arms and looked away.

Dustin- *As he got up and went closer to her and began to smile* God you're cute when your angry! *As he kissed her*

Amelia- Then I'm about to get crazy adorable.

Dustin- As long as your mine while you're doing it.

Amelia- *As she looked at the things he brought* Only because I want those gummy worms. *As she took it.

Dustin- As long as you forgive me.

Amelia- I'm still mad at you. *As she took the flowers also* I just wish you were a little more supportive and understanding. *As she walked back by the door to close it because the movie was about to start*

Dustin- *As he ran behind her* Then let me make it up to you.

Amelia- *As she smiled* I'm waiting... *As she faced him*

Dustin then lifted Amelia up and begun to kiss her as he dropped the flowers and Amelia placed a gummy worm in her mouth. Dustin the tried to take it from her but failed. They began to laugh and were a bit playful but then again, they were making up.


 The movie had started and Amelia got the key to lock the door, when the basketball team rushed towards the door before she was able to lock it.

Jordan- Wait up, wait up!

Mason- Has the movie started yet?

Amelia- Where are your tickets?

Vincent- There's a wall. *As placed his hands up and in front of Amelia's face* We don't need that negative energy! * As the all rushed in*

Amelia- Gasps…. How rude!

Dustin- *As he laughed* Let’s get our seats.




Jennifer- Hey over here! *As she waved from a distance*




Amelia- Oh, there’s Jen… *As she hesitated*

Dustin- Be nice…

Amelia- I'm not ready to talk to them yet. I need time.




Dustin- Take all the time that you need. 



Amelia then walked away and Jennifer was confused. She sat a few spaces down from her in  between Dustin’s legs and rested in his arms while they covered with their blankets. The Basketball team came in with food, popcorn, pizza and hot dog as they sat with together next to Amelia and Dustin.

Jordan- Dang, we had really good turnout.

Amelia- Did he just say we?

Vincent- *As he was eating popcorn* We hooked up that huge screen, so yeah we.

Amelia- *As she hit the popcorn out of Vincent’s hand* Oops. 

Vincent- You meant doing that.

Amelia- You complain a lot for a guy that came in here for free.




Vincent- *As he got up* Dust you better get your girl. Before I get her.

Amelia- *As she threw popcorn at him* What you need to get, is that butt off of the bench every game. Bench warmer.

Basketball team- Ooooooooh!

Everyone- Sssshh.

The movie was on and everyone was watching comfortably with their blankets and pajamas. They all became captivated as they stared at the screen and the movie hit its climax. Jennifer kept looking at Amelia, sadly. She missed her and wanted to talk to her but Amelia ignored her. She ignored them all and didn't make any eye contact.

Meanwhile, the cheer squad were practicing and they looked extremely exhausted. Monica was really working them hard. The stunts were perplexing and to add on, the sun was at its peak.

Monica- Okay five, six, seven, eight..




Trish and Amelia as placed in the air while Jennifer was on their shoulders with the splits.

Monica- Perfect. Twirl and spin.

Jennifer then lost her balance and dropped to the floor.




Monica- What the hell was that?? Do it again now!

Trish- M? We're really tired can we have a water break?

Monica- You want water? Work for it! Now let's go! Five, six, seven, eight!

They then tried again and Monica looked up and saw Courtney and her friend Britney. She then walked towards them.

Monica- I'll be right back. Keep doing it.

She then walked up to Courtney with her hands in her sweater pocket.

Monica- L-O-S-T?




Courtney- *Laughs* Those exact words you'll hear the night of the competition.




Monica- You'd like that wouldn't you?

Courtney- Yeah, I'd also Love it if you dropped out too. I mean look at your squad, I see no competition. Your girls are lazy and your routines are sloppy but just my opinion.

Monica- You talk as if your opinion matters? My girls are tighter than your squad would ever be! I’m glad you didn’t see them an hour ago because you may have gotten scared and dropped out of the competition and I really can’t wait to beat you!



Courtney- *As she laughed* You’re delusional! 




Monica- Only delusional person here is you if think those thin bitches you call a squad who only know how to do cartwheels can actually beat us!. 




Courtney- Bring it!




Monica- All-Ready-Brought! *As she came directly face to face with Courtney*




The tension then raised as they stared at each other waiting for someone to react but Monica smiled and Courtney get upset.

Courtney- Ugh! *As she turned around and walked away*




Monica then walked towards her squad and they had stopped and were looking at her.

Trish- What was that all about?

Megan- Yeah why the hell was Courtney at our practice?

Monica- You know how they are very competitive! Don't pay it any mind I got it handled! Let's go ladies again from the top. Five, six, seven, eight.

They then placed Amelia and Trish in the air and everyone was cranky. Sabree, Santonio and Emily then began shaking.




Jennifer- Monica we're tired.

Monica- You're not tired you guys are just putting on too much weight! Jennifer when did your thighs get so huge? Emily? Sports bra please! Amelia stop eating yourself into a depression!

Santonio then dropped Amelia and they all became astonished by what Monica said and Amelia got up and walked towards Monica.

Amelia- Excuse me? 

Emily- Yeah! It's not my fault I'm a part of a family with big boobs.

Monica- You know I didn't mean it that way.

Amelia- We know nothing Monica! We simply ask for a break and your ass is just coaching you're not up here in the sun and being tossed into the air over and over and getting hurt Monica!

Trish- Yeah like I've never seen you so competitive. What's gotten into you?




Monica- I'm fine! I'm good. I want us to be ready, I want us to win. We need to get this routine and these stunts perfect. Jennifer what's up with the sponsors?

Jennifer- Huh?




Monica- Yet you all want a break? Fine take a break! Be as long as you want. Because you all clearly have it all under control. So imma sit back and watch Westridge team kick your asses. *As she sat down and placed her earphones in* The guys basketball team were out here and they were jogging from 4am! Dustin has those guys ready and whipped into shape. Because unlike some people, they're actually taking this serious!  But go ahead don't let me stop you. You guys want to be lazy and break? I'd love to see you take home the title of street legends with that mindset.



Emily- Ugh!

Amelia- You do know she's right?

Megan- That's what I was afraid of.

Trish- Okay suck it up, we'll throw in another half an hour and get this routine together. She's right, we have to put in the work in order to win this competition. 

Santonio- Alright lets do this. Let's go! Let's go! 




Jennifer- *As she walked up to Monica* Let's do this please.

Monica- Oh now you're ready? I thought you needed a break.

Jennifer- *As she pulled her hand* Hearing you lecture us was enough.




Monica- I also have another assignment for you.

Trish- Please don’t be a new stunt, please don’t be a new stunt.

Monica- No…. It’s not a new stunt. How many of you have applied for colleges already?

Amelia held a hugged smile a raised her hand up in excitement as if she was extremely proud. 



However, only she and Santonio had raised their hands.

Monica- Wow! I have a squad of 25 and only two of you have applied for colleges.

Megan- We just haven’t gotten around to it. We aren’t seniors yet so we’ve got time.

Monica- Haven’t gotten around to it? You’ve got time? Oh ok, um Emily? When do you graduate?


Emily- This summer.

Monica- This summer. Yeah um and how many months are there until this summer? 

Emily- I don’t know six? Seven?

Monica- *As she laughed sarcastically* Six or Seven months! And what’s your reason for not applying? 

Emily- Well.. *As Monica interrupted* 

Monica- No wait let me guess, you never got around to it.

Emily- Well it’s not hard. I passed my SAT’s. I’m an honors student.

Monica- Yeah that’s you but my point is you’re a senior and still haven’t gotten to it yet!

The basketball team was next to the cheerleaders and they were out of breath as they took a two minute break. Mason and Jordan were ease dropping and pretending they were exercising.




Santonio- Emily that’s good, I took my SAT’s and I got an ok grade. I’m a struggling 3.0 student and to be honest I don’t even know what I want to do with my life.

Trish- Who does? Look I’m all for applying for college. That’s automatic, but when we talk college we’re talking about this stage right here being over with. The friends, the squad and life starting.

Monica- That’s inevitable. Unfortunately the moment doesnt last forever. But we’ll always be friends; we’ll always be a squad no matter what. As annoying as Amelia is…

Amelia- Heyyy?


Monica- She literally made us sign up for a bunch of colleges and that really opened my eyes and motivated me to motivate you. So that’s your assignment; I want you all to apply for at least four different colleges, of your choice. And I want them done and submitted by the the end of the semester. Use this as inspiration to actually figure out what the hell it is you'd like to do with your life.

Jordan- Does that apply for us too?




Mason- *As she hit him for talking* Sssh.


Jordan- What? I’m going to apply to Harvard or Yale.  

Amelia- Bshhh please, You know you're going to Everest.

Everyone then laughed including Mason and Jordan kept a straight face.




Mason- I say I-C-D-C. *As he rapped the ICDC College commercial*

Everyone- Whaat? *As they helped help*

Mason- I-C-D-C college. 

Everyone- I-C-D-C College. *As they laughed* For me.


Jordan- Man, forget y’all. *As he walked away*


Mason- Come on man, it was a joke. *As he walked behind him*




Monica- *As she laughed* With that being said. Let’s pick this up tomorrow.








SCENE FOUR


Meanwhile, Dustin was at the Pizzaria with his team mates and they were laughing conversing and waiting for their food.




Vincent- Game was so crazy.

Devin- For real, that win was so easy I didn't break a sweat on those armatures.

Jordan- Devin please. First second in the game you were complaining.

Dustin- *Laughs* After he saw those huge players, one touch he was yelling ”Ugh cramp!”


*As they all laughed*



Tyrone- Sub! Sub?



Dustin- *Laughs* Man you guys are crazy. I'm going to grab a Gatorade. You guys need anything from the counter?




Vincent- Nah, we're good.

Dustin then walked towards the Cashier to order a drink.


Dustin- Hey can I get a Gatorade please?

Cashier- Sure, which one?

Dustin- Ugh blue please. Thanks.

Courtney then walked in and she didn't see Dustin and she begun to get the cashiers attention. Meanwhile, Jordan those saw her and became paranoid.

Jordan- Oh this isn't good!




Tyrone- What?

Vincent- That's not who I think it is. Is it?

Devin- Benson!

Courtney- Hey? I came to pick up please?

Cashier- Name?

Courtney- Benson, Courtney Benson.




Dustin- *As he looked down at her* Courtney?




Courtney- Dus? *As she smiled* How are you?





Dustin- Courtney? *As he stared*





Courtney- *As she laughed* It’s been a while I know. I’ve missed you. I must say. But you know what since street legends is coming up we should stay in touch here's my number. *As she took his phone out of his hand and stored her number* Use it. *As she smiled and winked*




Cashier- Benson?

Courtney- *As she gave them the money* That's me! *As she took the food* See you around. *As she left*




Jordan- This isn't good!

Tyrone- Did I just see that chick give Dus her number?




Vincent- She's back!

Mason- The hell is going on?

Dustin then walked towards his friends without his drink and was staring.





Devin- What was that? What did she say?

Dustin- Courtney...

Jordan- Awe mane! Snap out of it! Courtney? Bad! Ex's are bad! Especially the ones that hurt you and turned your life upside down!




Dustin- I always thought… what would I do if I saw her again? And I spaced out.




Jordan- In this case, spacing out was best yo. *As the waitress brought their pizzas* Look here's our pizza forget her. You got yourself a new chick a better one. Amelia.

Dustin- I know... I know... and you're right. 




Carlos- Yeah so forget Benson.

On the other hand, Jennifer was at home and her parents were in the living room busy with signing checks and sorting documents. Jennifer knew it was a bad time to talk to them because they would not listen and their response would be redundant but that was her purpose for choosing this time.

Jennifer- Mom? Dad?

Mrs. Carson- Busy sweetie what is it?

Jennifer- Have you thought about the sponsor yet for the cheer squad? The street legends can be called at any minute and we really need a down payment for our spots to be held.




Mrs. Carson- These aren't adding up..*As he held the paper* I've given it some thought and honey I think I'm going to give Mrs. Benson a try. I'm going to invest partially and we'll see how that goes.





Mr. Carson- If you really have faith in her and in her idea they let's do it!




Jennifer- Hello? Did you even hear me or acknowledged what I said?




Mrs. Carson- Not now Jen... I'm busy! Why don't you go over to a friend’s house or better yet here's my card. Buy something nice. *As she rushed away*




Jennifer- *As she held the card in her hand staring* You are the most careless parents ever.




*Doorbell rings*

No one moved. Jennifer's dad continued adding up the previous investments and her mom continued signing her checks.

Jennifer- Oh it's okay, I'll get it. *She said sarcastically* As always.

Jennifer then opened the door it was Damian and his mom. Mrs. Benson was on the phone.

Jennifer- Damian? *As she was shocked* You're here again?


Damian- *As he smiled* Yeah I'm working with my mom. Is your parents here.

Jennifer-  Sure right this way.



Mrs. Benson- *As she was on the phone* I told you 50/50 is very risky if you want to be sure....of course....look I have to go. Call me later let me know what u decide. *As she hung up* Hey I'm sorry, how are you? It's Jennifer right?

Jennifer- I'm good. *As she smiled* And yes it is.

Mrs. Benson- That's wonderful sweetie.

Mrs.  Carson- Ahh, the Bensons! You're right on time. Right this way.

They then walked away and Jennifer begun to stare at the card again and had an idea. Meanwhile, Monica was at home and her parents were down stairs in the living room looking through their bills. Monica saw their facial expression and she knew something wasn't right. Finally, she build up the courage to ask her parents what was going on.

Monica- Mom? Dad? What's the matter?





Monica's mom and dad looked at each other contemplating on who was going to break the news to her. There was then a moment of silence as they all stared.

Monica- Is someone going to answer me or not?


Monica's mom- Honey...*As she paused* Your father lost his job and I ugh...sigh. Let's just say my pay check can't keep up with all the bills. We might lose our home.






Monica- What? How? No! Mom, I can get a job; I can help...

Monica's Dad- Oh sweet heart, you need to focus on school and on cheering. Let your mom and I handle this.

Monica- This is a big deal dad. I have little sisters how can I not focus on this? Is there anything I can do?

Monica's mom- At this point? We need a miracle. *As she got up* I'm going to get dinner ready can u get your sisters and tell them to get cleaned up for dinner?

Monica- No problem mom.

Monica then went upstairs and to get her three sisters, Mellissa and the twins Maze and Hazel. Monica was in the twins bedroom and they saw that Monica seemed a bit sad and Hazel took her hair and placed it behind her ear.




Hazel- Monica what's wrong?

Monica- Nothing's wrong. I'm just getting you ready for dinner.

Maze- *As she squeezed Monica's cheeks* M? We know something's wrong. Please tell us, we can keep a secret.





Hazel- Yeah, we promise.

Monica- *As she smiled* Yeah? Okay well it gets kinda lonely at nights, and I could really use the company. To keep me from feeling so sad at nights. Would you two like to have a sleep over in my room? We can eat popcorn and stay up watching movies.

Hazel, Maze- Oh yeah!




Maze- I'd love that!

Monica- I'd love that too! *As she hugged them* Now go down stairs and get ready for dinner.

The twins then ran down stairs and Mellissa stood by the door.




Mellissa- Wow! You're real good.

Monica- I don't know what you're talking about.




Mellissa- Cut the crap Em. Tell me what’s really going on!




Monica- *As she stood up* Firstly, don't you dare talk to me like that! And whatever it is, it doesn't concern you! It's nothing that you should be worried about. Now get out!





Mellissa- Sigh, I'm sorry. I just know mom and dad have bene a little off lately and you probably know what's going on.




Monica- Apology accepted. But like I said, it's nothing you should be worried about Mellissa. Now be the good little girl you are and go downstairs. Dinner is ready.






Mellissa then left feeling sorry and Monica closed her door and begun to walk around her room angry, and contemplating. Her phone then rang and it was Jennifer. She stared at it for a while before she answered.

Monica- Hello?

Jennifer- Guess who got us sponsors?




Monica- Shut-Up! *As she was surprised*




Jennifer- Emergency practice?

Monica- On it!

They then hung up and Monica smiled and with excitement, she screamed.

Monica- Yes!









Scene Five

Tyrone was in his room watching a movie close to falling asleep. Angelique then walked by his door, with a very wary aura as she knocked then walked in.

Angelique- Sigh.. Hey?




Tyrone- Hey. *As he gave no eye contact* 

Angelique- You haven't left your room all day....

Tyrone- Well I normally spend the day with Amelia but I clearly couldn't so.... I had nowhere else to go. *As he stared at the television*

Angelique- Is it all my fault? *As she begun to cry* Everybody's just... separated. It's like Deja Vu I feel like I'm 8 years old again and everybody hates me and wish that I'd just disapear. *Sniffs* Angelique the bitch, Angelique's evil and sneaky and a liar and a home wrecker. I can't be with you any more, I don't love you. You need to get out. You need to change. *As she ranted while thinking about her relationships* I am so tired of people saying these things about me all the time and honestly... I'm done. I'm not doing this any more. So I'm leaving. And I hope that you can forgive me.




Tyrone- You do this all the time. You make a huge mess and then you run away! Leaving us to patch up everything! Leaving us to clean up your dirt. So if you want to leave then go Ange. Just got





Angelique- No body wants me here Tyrone! *As she broke down*

Tyrone- Can you blame them? What you did was unacceptable! It really was. And I'm not going to lie to you, knowing Amelia she holds on to things forever if she can! It's been 8 years! EIGHT DAMN YEARS and she still hasn't forgiven you. I might not even get my best friend back. Just because you couldn't hold your tongue. You couldn't just keep your mouth shut.

Angelique- She didn't give me a choice! *As she shouted*

Tyrone- That's bull shit and you know it Ange! You weren't at her house or my house you were at her boyfriend's house. In the front of his family. You could have stayed clear of Amelia but no, you just had to keep exchanging words, you just had to keep running into her knowing... *As he raised his voice* knowing she doesn't like you!  Sigh I'm sorry for shouting... I'm sorry. *As he saw her cry* Look, you're right... people might not want you here. You did wrong Ange, what you said was the truth but you picked the wrong time and the wrong place to do it. You needed to be the bigger person and walk away.

Angelique- She was pushed me! 

Tyrone- And you pushed back.

Angelique- And I'm sorry. I'll just leave ok?

Tyrone- See here we go again. Leaving is always your one true option. You go MIA and years later you're back with chocolates and a smile... *As he shook his head* But not this time, you owe Amelia an apology. You both do. I don't want you to leave. But if you do that's on you. You're welcome to stay here as long as you like. But you have to apologize to Amelia.




Angelique- Ugh... fine. You're right. As usual.




Tyrone- Good. *As he smiled. Now come and watching this movie with me. I don't mind the company.



Angelique then smiled and hopped into bed with Tyrone. She pulled the covers over her and got comfortable.  April then walked in the room dressed in pajamas and ready for bed with her pillow in her hand.

April- Can I join please?


Tyrone- Of course! Hop on there's a lot of space for you.

April- Yay! *As she jumped in between them* 

Angelique- Yeah come right... *Before she was able to finish her sentence April jumped in the bed* okay!! *As she laughed*


April- What are we watching? 

Tyrone- Whatever you want.

April- Yay! This brings back so much memories! I really miss our movie nights.

Angelique- I don't remember us having movie nights... *As April was searching for a movie*

April- I meant Tye, Amelia and I. We always spent so much time together. She's the best and I wish she was here right now. *As she found a show she liked* Let's watch this!

Tyrone- *As he laughed* You have the same taste in movies that Amelia has. And let me tell you. It sucks. *As he teased April*




April- Heyyy? What do you have against Amelia and I? I'll have you know that this show got great reviews!

Tyrone- *As he laughed* Alright! Let's see.

Angelique then looked away and felt guilty. She not only broke up a friendship but also a family.




On the other hand, Dustin and Amelia were walking in his yard towards his front gate. She was a bit skeptical about going back to his house so soon but Dustin was relentless. He convinced her to come and was not taking no for an answer. 

Amelia- I'm not too sure about this Dus... I mean maybe your mom and dad are still angry with me. I literally ruined your family cookout. Gosh I'm so embarrassed. *As she turned around*




Dustin- *As he grabbed her hand* Amelia? You have nothing to worry about. My parents would never hold something like this against you. Never. Let's go in and have some dinner and head in the pool ok? *As he opened the gate and they walked in* 


Dustin's parents were sitting by the pool relaxing and and Mrs. Prescott was reading a book. Amelia and Dustin then walked in and Amelia stood behind Dustin embarrassed and really nervous.

Dustin- Hey?

Mrs. Prescott- Hey kids. Amelia, sweetheart... how are you? *As she said sincerely and placed down the book she was reading* 





Amelia- I'm... I'm so sorry about the other night. I don't know what came over me. I ruined your cook out and I'm truly sorry. I was just so angry and hurt. That Was not and Is not who I am. Or who my parents raised me to be.




Mrs. Prescott then got up and hugged Amelia. 







Mrs. Prescott-  Oh sweetheart it's ok.  Everything's ok. No need to apologize for being hurt. All that matters is that you're ok now.



Amelia- I am. I really am. *As she smile* Thank you for being so understanding and so kind. You could really teach your son a thing or two. *As she teased* But thank you.




Mrs. Prescott- Amelia, I know what it feels like to be hurt and betrayed. So it's ok. you are always welcome here. You make my son happy and as a mother I'd do anything to see him smile. So let's just forget that ever happened and move passed it ok?





Amelia- Already forgotten. *As she smiled*

Mrs. Prescott- Atta girl! So are you two joining us in the pool?


Amelia- If that's ok with you...

Mr. Prescott- Of course! Come on join us! 




Mrs. Prescott- *As Amelia placed down her bags on the chair* Yes, we can have our own little family night. Speaking of family, we are attending an art exhibit this weekend, you should come!

Amelia- I would love to... but are you guys sure? 

Mr. Prescott- Of course! You have nothing to worry about. You're family now.


Amelia- *As she smiled* You guys really are the best. I can't believe how kind you are to me. I really appreciate it. And I'd be honored to accompany you all to the art exhibit. 




Mrs. Prescott- Good! Now I didn't make dinner so I'm thinking we can hang out here tonight and order pizza?

Amelia- I would love that.

Dustin- Thanks mom.




Mrs. Prescott- Ok, I'll be right back. *As she walked inside*

Dustin- See... I told you, you have nothing to worry about. *As he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek*

Amelia- I guess you were right. I was just overreacting. Sigh I'm glad to be back here. *As she felt relieved*

Dustin- Where you belong. *As he smiled*

Amelia- Where I belong. *As they kissed*

Dustin- Want to go in the pool? 

Amelia- *As she smiled* I mean why else would I have on a bikini? *As she teased*

Dustin- *As he lifted her up* You and that smart ass mouth!




Amelia- *As she laughed while screaming a little* Ahaha! Dustin put me down! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. *As she laughed*

Dustin- What? I can't hear you. *As he started to put her down slowly*

Amelia- I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry.

Dustin- *As they both laughed* You don't understand how happy you make me.

Amelia- Then I guess the feelings mutual. *As she smiled and they stared each other in the eyes*

Dustin- *As he hugged her* I'm going to see what mom ordered maybe I can get them to throw in some cheesy sticks.

Amelia- My favorite. *As she smiled*

Dustin- As if I don't know my own girl? *As he winked* Get comfy I'll join you in a sec. *As he walked away*





Amelia then grabbed Dustin's hand and he looked back with a smile on his face.

Amelia- Thank you.

Dustin- For what?




Amelia- There's no way in hell your parents were that nice to me on their own. I know you had something to do with that so... thank you. *As she smiled sincerely*

Dustin did spoke to his parents and he did tell them to be nice to Amelia and that he really wanted to fix things with her. He also told them how happy she makes him but there was no way Amelia would have known that so he leaned over, kissed her, smiled and denied it.

Dustin- I have no idea what you're talking about.




Amelia- You do. *As she smiled* And I appreciate you for doing that. *As she walked away and so did Dustin*

Amelia then sat down smiling as she took off her dress with her bikini underneath and placed it on the chair. She then went into the pool. Meanwhile,  Dustin was in the kitchen with his mom, he then walked up behind her and she turned around to face him with a smile but in a facetious way.




Dustin- *As he laughed* What?

She didn't answer him but she continued looking at him that way, teasing him.

Dustin- Mom? Stop, stop! *As he laughed while feeling embarrassed*

Mrs. Prescott- Ok, ok! *As she placed her hands up surrendering* So you two are good?

Dustin- Mooom? *As he wined* 

Mrs. Prescott- I'm just asking! I'm glad that you two are back together and that you are happy.

Dustin- So am I. You don't understand, she's just so amazing. In every way.




Mrs. Prescott- Every way huh?

Dustin- Not that way! I mean maybe she is.. I mean not that we've.... I ugh... so about that pizza? *As he tried to change the topic*

Mrs. Prescott- Uh huh? *As she got the dish cloth and whacked him with it playfully* I hope that you're being safe! You are way too young to be a dad. And as much as I'd like to have grand kids running around my house, I'd like to see you graduate college and get married even more. 

Dustin- *As he laughed* Mom! I know!! Trust me. When it does happen I'll make sure ok? Now If you're done I'd like to stop talking about my sex life with my mom! 

Mrs. Prescott- Ok. *As she stared at him smiling* My baby is really growing up. Can believe you're still a virgin. *As Dustin opened his eyes huge as if he was not a virgin*



Mrs. Prescott- I mean are you? No you're not...? *As she gasps* And you did not tell me? When?? With who???

Dustin- Mooom? I am so not having this conversion with. Ok?

Mrs. Prescott- My sons having sex? Oh my God!




Dustin- *As peeped outside* Could you be any louder? Did you order the pizza already?

Mrs. Prescott- Yeah I did it should be here any minute. And don't worry I got cheesy sticks too.

Mrs. Prescott- You were ease dropping?

Mrs. I have no idea what you're talking about. *As she teased him* Everyone loves cheesy sticks.

Dustin- *As he laughed* Ahh mom...

Dustin then picked up his phone and messaged Amelia. She was sitting at the pool and she picked up her phone when it went off and read the message. 
"Hey beautiful, I miss you <3 "
Amelia then smiled and immediately texted back.
"Then what's taking you so long? You should be getting wet with me :p "

Dustin then laughed and leaned on the kitchen counter.
"Babyy, I was just talking to mom... be there soon :* "
Amelia then replied, "Ok I'll be waiting:* "

Dustin then rested his phone on the counter and walked towards the dining room when his phone went off again, twice. He then walked back to the kitchen 
 to check his messages.  Unexpectedly, it was a message from Courtney. Dustin the paused at a loss for words.
He then read her message. " Hey Dustin, It's Courtney. I had this feeling you weren't going to me so I decided to message you first. I'm sorry about what happened to us in the past..."
"Can we talk?"
Dustin then rested his phone down and sighed. When he was about to walk away she sent another message.
"Please?" 

Dustin then picked up his phone and said "What's there to talk about? *As he walked out of the kitchen with his phone in his hand* 
Courtney quickly replied. "Everything, especially how you made me eat jalapenos after telling me there were just pickles and then you promised me whatever I wanted you'll do to make it up to me. I never asked for anything since but I'm asking now." 
"Please let's talk"

Dustin then laughed slightly as he reminisced on that day. He responded "Fine, but not tonight."


Mrs. Prescott walked in from behind and heard Dustin's laugh. She then looked over his shoulder and he immediately closed the chat. 

Mrs. Prescott- Who's that?




Dustin- Ugh... no body. *As he locked his phone* Mom what's up with you? Why are you so invested in my life? You and dad really need some hobbies. *As he walked away*

Mrs. Prescott- Oh now I'm too invested huh? Well can you tell Amelia, your "Girl Friend" who's out back waiting on you that the pizza guy is going to bring the pizza to the back any minute now? *As she said mischievously* 

Dustin then looked down at his phone and saw his wall paper of he and Amelia laughing off guard while she was in his arms. He then smiled staring at his phone.

Dustin- My girl friend. *As he smiled* 

Meanwhile, Amelia was in the pool and Dustin walked out and took off his shirt and placed both his phone and shirt on the chair. Amelia was under water and Dustin slowly went in and at the same time Amelia was coming up. She then wiped her face and rushed her fingers through her hair while Dustin was still under water. He then snuck up to her underwater and pulled her down. She started panicking and screaming while under water and Dustin started laughing. When she saw it was him. She got up.






Dustin- *As he laughed* Babe, babe? It's only me. Relax.

Amelia- *As she shoved him* You scared me Dustin!

Dustin- *As he laughed I'm sorry. I was just playing. *As they both were floating in the water* Have I ever told you how beautiful you are? *As they stared at each other while coming closer*



Amelia- What do you want?

Dustin- *As he laughed* Come on baby nothing. I've got all I need right here close to me. *As he leaned in for a kiss*




Amelia then pushed Dustin's head under water and tried to sit on his head. She started laugh but Dustin started pulling Amelia down under water with him as well. They both ended up under water as they got back up to the top yelling and playing like kids. Mrs. Prescott heard them and walked outside.




Mrs. Prescott- What is going on out here?

Amelia was sitting on Dustin's shoulders and they both paused, while trying their hardest to hold back their laughter.

Pizza Guy- Delivery for the Prescott's?

Amelia then burst into laughter and Dustin flipped her over his head and into the pool and both the Pizza guy and Mrs. Prescott got wet.

Dustin- Oops...







Scene Six 


It was the night of Dustin's family's art exhibit. It was a very elegant and formal event. 




Amelia wore a long dress with an open back along with her mom's fluorescent necklace and earrings. Dustin on the other hand, had on a matching suit. And the two looked amazing as they held hands walking towards his family who were standing from a distance admiring a painting.

A waiter then walked up to them with a tray of classes filled with champagne and apple cider. 

Waiter- Care for a glass?






Amelia- Oh thank you. *As she Dustin grabbed a glass*




Waiter- My pleasure. Do enjoy. *As he smiled and walked away*

Mrs. Prescott- Ahh, I love this one. This painting show's more of who the artist is. 

Patty- I agree. It's like the artist painted his soul.

Amelia- Same thing my mom said. *As she smiled* 


Dustin- Your mom was an art fan.

Amelia- Pretty much. She use to take me behind her from I was a little girl to these art shows and art exhibits. She collected so many paintings over the years but when she passed my dad put them al in storage. But this was our thing. I loved coming with her to these.

Dustin- You do? What's your favorite painting?

Amelia- I'm glad you asked shall we? *As she smiled and lended out her hand*

Dustin- Lead the way. 

Amelia- Excuse us. *As she smiled and she and Dustin walked away*



They then begun to walk over to the other side of the museum, passing Dustin's cousins.

Sarah- She's still here? *As she stared at Amelia*

Francesca- I thought he would have gotten rid of her by now.




Amelia then paused because she heard what they said... not that they were whispering it. She then looked up at Dustin defenselessly, hoping he'd defend her.



 Dustin then got angry and turned around and walked towards his cousins and retorted.

Dustin- What is wrong with you all? You walk around like you're so perfect. Didn't you just got caught shop lifting? *As Sarah looked guilty and shocked that he knew* 





Dustin- I'm surprised they even let you in here Miss sticky fingers. You're not the most decent person yet here you are wearing a stollen dress acting like you're the most classiest person in the room when you really aren't. 


Dustin- And Francesca please don't get me started with you, you're adopted and you should be the most humble person here because quite frankly, no one likes you they only tolerate you specifically for this reason. You're mean and rude and care about no body but yourself. 

Francesca then gasped at a loss for words and Sarah stood there shocked and embarrassed.





Sarah- How dare you talk to her like that? How dare you talk to any of us like that? We're your family!

Dustin- How dare you talk to my girl like that? You all act like you're so perfect when really... you're not. With or with out aunt Patty's money you're a nobody. And you talk about family? Family doesn't treat each other like this.


Francesca- We did nothing to you!

Dustin-  You disrespected her which means you disrespected me. And quite frankly Amelia is just as much family or even more to me than you are. So you are going to respect her going forward or we're done. I hope I made myself clear.




Amelia then smiled and she kissed Dustin and his cousins got upset, rolled their eyes and stormed off. Amelia and Dustin then continued walking holding hands as she rested her head in his arms and he held her.

Amelia- Thank you for that.





Dustin- It needed to be done.

Amelia- It's didn't but you did it any way and I appreciate it. I really do.

Dustin then smiled at Amelia and they finally arrived to painting.


Amelia- This is it.

Dustin- Wow.

Amelia- This is the painting 

Dustin- This picture is on your Instagram.


Amelia- It is... *As she smiled slightly* You've been paying attention. You might just get an award for best boyfriend of the year.

Dustin- Well I only pay attention to things that captivates my interest. And you happen to be one of them. *As they flirted*

Amelia- Tell me what do you see when you look at this painting?


Dustin- Ugh... *As he stared at the painting* It's a village for starters... um and then there's this white shadow...

Amelia- *As she laughed slightly* No, don't describe the painting. Tell me what do you see, what is your understanding of the painting? What does it mean to you?

Dustin- Oh, well... it shows some sort of vulnerability. Like a village and the people are sitting ducks. They need help...? I don't know. You tell me. What does it mean to you?



Amelia- Well honestly, same as you. You see how the villagers over here are all vulnerable and oblivious. But there's this one person over here set out on a different path? He's about to head on this path where this "White thing" *As she teased* also knowns as a protective shield is. He wants more and he doesn't want to wait around like the others. And at the end of this shield there's this light but the others can't see it because of where they are. You can only see it if you are on this path. And the thing is he could see the light now but he couldn't when he was amongst the others. So he took a leap not knowing what the end of the road held just because he wanted more. This simply means that love is always there. Even when you can't see it or feel it its there. Even when you fight or argue it's there. But you can't sit around being a victim or vulnerable. You have to get up and set out to find out what's on the other side of things.  *As Dustin became captivated and stared down at Amelia and she looked up at the painting forgetting her surrounds*

Amelia- This shows that people forget that in order to achieve greatness you have to be willing to go the extra mile. Real love and hope stands forever. Even when you don't see it. Yes we will have our times when we can't stand to look at each other but when it's meant to be the light will lead us back to our home. To our people. To our family. To our love. *As she rubbed the painting*

Dustin- *As he stared at her* Wow! I didn't thought of it like that.

Amelia- Different Perspectives. You can't ever be wrong.




Dustin- *As he took her by the hand* Amelia? This is real right? This isn't just a high school love type of thing... but something that's actually going to last? Something real?

Amelia- Yes! 


Dustin- We can build together? Take care of each other, I got you, you got me right?

Amelia- Of course Dustin! With everything in me I want this.

Dustin- I realize that there's no other girl for me. *As he went down on one knee* You're all I want and need.

Amelia became afraid and her started beating and anxiety started rising as she saw Dustin go down on one knee.

Amelia- Dustin? What's going on? *As she felt afraid*




Dustin- I want to make it official. You've been nothing but the best to me. My best friend. My lovey, my annoying girl friend *As he laughed slightly but Amelia kept a serious face* My everything.

Amelia- Dustin? *As she said with a shaky voice*




Dustin- *As he went into his pocket and took out a box with a promise ring inside* Promise me that you'll never leave. Promise me that regardless to how big the problem, we'll fix it. But we aren't talking high school or college or a few months. We're talking forever. You and I. Best friends. Waking up to each other every morning. Helping each other. *As he opened the box and Amelia gasped* Promise me that now it's going to be you and I against the world. *As Amelia covered her mouth with tears rolling down her face* That's all I want from you, is a promise.


Amelia- I promise. With all my heart and every fiber of my being. I promise! *As Dustin placed the ring on her finger*




Dustin- *As he lifted her up* I promise too! I don't ever want to loose you.




Dustin's family stood from a distance watching and over hearing everything they said... Or maybe just ease dropping.


Mrs. Prescott- I knew it. Let's just hope this one works out.

Patty- Looks like Dustin's really growing up.

Mr. Prescott- What can I say? My son's in love. *As he smiled and held his wife*




Francesca- Well what you know? She might actually be apart of the family. *As she watched them kiss again*




Sarah- I wouldn't bet on it. Dustin has bad luck with girls. It always ends badly. *As she goggled back her champagne and walked away*






THE END
