JAYCI:

(goes off)
ANGELINA:
(goes into classroom, SLACKER STUDENTS rush past her, bump into her.)
God!
(SLACKER STUDENTS see KIMBERLEY, pause to disturb her)
SLACKER STUDENT #1:
Hey baby, want my number?
ANGELINA:
(goes over to SLACKER STUDENTS)
Do you mind? Some of us actually come here to seek an education.
SLACKER STUDENT #1:
Seek an education. Whoa. Deep, man.
(laughs, hi-fives SLACKER STUDENT #2)
ANGELINA:
Get lost.
(exasperated, sits next to KIMBERLEY)
SLACKER STUDENT #1:
Chill, baby. All right.
ANGELINA:
Guys. Sometimes, they can be really stupid.
(ANGELINA & KIMBERLEY turn towards SLACKER STUDENTS who are pulling silly faces at each other)
KIMBERLEY:
Yeah, you got me on that one. Thanks for helping me out just now.
ANGELINA:
Its okay. Are you from around here? I dont remember seeing you last year.
KIMBERLEY:
Well, maybe thats because I wasnt here last year.
(extends hand)
Im Kimberley Carlsson. Nice to meet you.
ANGELINA:
(shakes KIMBERLEYs hand)
Angelina Watson. So how's it going for you at CSHS so far?
KIMBERLEY:
Yeah, well, the only feeling Ive got so far feels kinda lost. This school is huge.
ANGELINA:
Yeah, it gets like that for a while. But youll get used to it soon enough.
KIMBERLEY:
I hope so. Its bad enough with people like them (gestures to SLACKER STUDENTS) around.
ANGELINA:
Nah, its okay. You got me around as your personal bodyguard, right?
(both laugh)
I could show you around if you like.
KIMBERLEY:
Oh, would you? That would be really great! Thank you so much.
ANGELINA:
No problem.
MISS BRIANNA:
(comes into class)
Good morning class. In case you dont know me, Im Ms Brianna, not Ms Banana, as everyone seems to assume.
(everyone laughs)
I'll be your Literature teacher for the semester. So any nit-pickings or gripes you have about Shakespeare, come find me okay?
KIMBERLEY:
(to ANGELINA)
You won't see me having any gripes, I love Literature.
ANGELINA:
Really! Me too!
(both girls smile at each other. a bond is formed.)
MISS BRIANNA:
I hope all of you brought your texts on Romeo & Juliet. And I do not accept anyone who's brought Baz Lurhman's movie version starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Lets turn our books to Chapter One!
(starts teaching)
ANGELINA:
(grins at KIMBERLEY, opens text)
Shes funny.
KIMBERLEY:
(grins back, opens text)
Yeah. |
