Fade In

( Madison, Glenn & Aiden are sat in the school court yard, Madison & Glenn are flirting )

Madison: You are so full of it…

Glenn: If I’m lying I’m dying. ( Madison Laughs )

Aiden: Ah. now there’s a good story.

( Clay is about to walk over to Sean & Boz, but Glenn shouts him over, Clay walks over to Glenn )

Sean: Hey dawg… over here.

Glenn: Hey. Hey Clay come here man, I need you to back me up on something.

Boz: Well I guess I know were we stand.

Sean: Don’t make that leap man. Maybes there’s a reason…

Boz: Better be a good one. ( Clay is now with Glenn, Madison & Aiden, Aiden looks bored )

Glenn: Tell them about the night at the golf course ok. They don’t believe me.

Clay: Oh you mean the night my brother was takin out by aliens… I swear man, it was in the papers. No lie.

Glenn: See. I told you, I told you… ( They all laugh, besides Aiden who has noticed Ashley & Spencer on another table, he texts Ashley, Glenn Continues his story ) I was sitting in a golf cart in the middle of the lake. Naked.

Madison: That is hysterical…

( Ashley’s phone rings, she looks at it )

Can I Join? Or is it girls only?

It’s cool. U r 1 of the grrlz. ( Aiden walks over and joins Ashley & Spencer )

Spencer: Hey.

Aiden: Hey.

Ashley: I’m soo excited, my dad’s gunna finally be able to see me play.

Spencer: I can’t believe he’s never seen you do that before.

Ashley: Well he’s always been on the road with his band so..

Spencer: Well, we’ll be there an tryna bring some people.

Ashley: I don’t care who comes, as long as you guys are there.

Aiden: Yeah, we’ll be your own personal fans, we’ll. We’ll rush to the front of the stage and get all crazy and scream and yell. Fling ourselves onstage.

Spencer: I’ve always wanted to be a groupie. ( Ashley & Aiden smirk at Spencer ) no wait that’s not true ( Ashley & Aiden laugh ) but I’ve always wanted to know someone in a band.

Ashley: You gotta aim higher Spence.

( Madison notices Aiden with Ashley & Spencer )

Madison: He can’t stand it when he’s not the centre of attention.

Glenn: You see that’s where he’s got it wrong. He should be making you the centre of his attention. I know I would be.

Madison: Really…

( The bell rings, Clay notices Sean give him a look then walk away )

Credits… The Donnas… I Don’t Want To Know…

( Ashley & Spencer are in Ashley’s bedroom, Ashley is trying on some outfits for her show )

Ashley: Ok. Now, I want my outfit to have the right blend of rocker smoke and sexiness and. “I’m no slave to fashion” attitude.

Spencer: It shouldn’t be hard that’s what you look like everyday. ( Ashley holds up a black slinky top ) I think it’s perfect… as long as you plan to accessorise… With a shirt…

Ashley: You are such a strange girl.

Spencer: You would know… ( Ashley sits down on the bed, she looks a little upset ) what. ( Spencer gently touches Ashley’s arm )

Ashley: I’m nervous for my dad to see me play, I’ve tried so hard to be good at what he’s great at, I just don’t think it’s gunna be enough.

Spencer: Are you kidding?. He’s gunna be so proud of you.

Ashley: I hope. We just don’t have the closest relationship, I had to go through his road manager in order to invite him to the show. Which pretty much defines my entire childhood with him. Anytime I wanted to figure something out about his life I had to look to a Rolling Stones magazine. And he knows even less about mine.

Spencer: Sorry. That sucks. But I mean he is coming. Maybe he wants to make up for lost time. Fix it.

Ashley: Maybe.( Ashley looks a little more relaxed, she smile at Spencer, she smiles back)

( Glenn & Clay are playing a computer game )

Glen: Oh!! Your dead sucker!. Mom was asking me about Sean the other day. You know what kinda guy he is… stuff like that.

Clay: What did you say?.

Glenn: I told her I thought he looked like a gangster and I wouldn’t be surprised if he sold drugs.

Clay: Why’d you say that?…

Glenn: Sike!!. Aww you gotta keep your eye on the screen boy.

Clay: Don’t even joke about that stuff. I’m serious. Sean’s been cool to me since we got here. Which is more than I can say about a lot of people at King.

Glenn: Yeah man he’s got your back. Just like how he got you hassled by the cops on are first week in town.

Clay: Listen to me, listen to me, that’s not even about Sean. That’s about L.A. ok. He’s not who you think he is. Why don’t. why don’t you just get to know him.

Glenn: Look. Alright I know this is important to you…

Clay: Ah ha.

Glenn: But there’s gotta be some better guys you can hang out with…

Clay: Right. You know what. Why don’t we agree to not judge each others friends. ( Spencer walks in )

Spencer: Hi.

Glenn: Speaking of bad judgment in friends.

( Ashley, Aiden & Spencer are walking in school )

Ashley: So on Saturday you guys should just meet me at Gray, your names will be on the list.

Aiden: Spencer you want me to pick you up?.

Spencer: Yeah. ( Madison walks over and grabs Aiden )

Madison: Desperately I’m sure. I need to talk to you… alone…

Ashley: Aww. You better get used to that whole alone thing cos your boy he’s moving on.

Madison: Bite me queer eye.

Ashley: Not if you where the last Barbie on earth. ( Ashley & Spencer walk away )

Madison: So. I have a fabulous idea. Saturday night you and I are gunna have a wicked hot date, which we desperately need. Cherie’s uncle is a night manager at the fair fax’s weeks and he’ll get us a great room.

Aiden: Err. Saturday?.

Madison: Yeah. But when you see what I’m wearing you’ll forget what day it is. I swear.

Aiden: Sounds great, but can we do it another night I kinda got some plans I don’t wanna break.

Madison: Excuse me!. I do not take rain checks. let me guess your doing something with the Ellen twins.

Aiden: Spencer’s not gay.

Madison: No. because I’m starting to wonder about you. So you better get busy baby or someone else will be fringing my benefits.

Aiden: I’ll take my chances. ( Madison walks off in a mood )

( Sean & Boz are talking )

Sean: Yo that’s all good, but keep it small man don’t be sending out the word making flyers puttin it on the pipe.

Boz: It’s nothing, no worries it’ll be really slick you know what I’m sayin.

( Clay walks over to join them )

Sean: Yo. Look who has time for us now.

Boz: His main crew must be busy.

Clay: What’s up man. Something in store for this weekend?.

Sean: Saturday. Yard party at my house. Girls, music the usual.

Clay: Sounds good.

Boz: Yeah. For those who are invited.

Sean: Yeah. But it’s up to you Clay, we just thought you’d wanna be doin what ya main crew have planned for you. Whatever that is. Going to the mall, making a run at the rich girls. Blending with society.

Madison: Actually I was looking for you.

Glenn: Excellent choice.

Madison: I’ve decided to break my one guy at a time rule, broaden my horizons. ( As Madison & Glenn walk away linking arms, Aiden walks out of the gym and notices them, he turns and walks away ). See what Ohio has to offer.

Aiden: Two vodka cranberry. ( The bar women checks Aiden’s I.D )

Barwomen: Ok. Your good, now who’s the other one for?.

Aiden: Girl at the end of the bar. ( Aiden points to Spencer, Spencer waves revealing her stamped hand )

Barwomen: Oh. She’s cute. And a minor. So you better behave or I’ll take a closer look at your I.D. ( Aiden smiles and walks back over to Spencer & Ashley ) Sorry yours is a virgin. ( Aiden hands Spencer the drink )

Ashley: But it doesn’t have to be. ( Ashley grabs her bag off the bar, watching the barwomen, and pulls out a flask containing alcohol ) I’m soo a better friend. Here have some of my poison.

Aiden: Too Ashley. ( They all take a drink of their beer, Spencer coughs, Ashley & Aiden laugh ) I’m gunna go over to the stage, talk to the sound guy and try not to be nervous.

Clay: You know she’s still Aiden’s girlfriend. And the word is she’s a man eater.

Glenn: Good man.

Clay: Just take it slow until you figure out what she’s really up to, whether it’s about you or him.

Glenn: Trust me. It’s all about me now. Bringing girls home to meet the folks. Always seals the deal.

Clay: You know I can’t decide if your brilliant or evil. Or both.

Glenn: I know, I know.

Clay: Give me the keys.

Sean: Ok. so now you know.

Clay: What do I have to choose?. My life has been about tryna blend rather than separate, why can’t I just roll with both?.

Sean: You can try. But err I do what I well chose and it’d be the boys who had my back since we were kids, it’s no shame it’s just a game.
