FEUD
Episode
2:
First
Weekend
(it’s
morning. Yasuraka is slowly waking up)
Yasuraka:
Mmmmmm?
(her eyes suddenly grow wide. To her dismay, the floor of the room is
covered in clothes. Makoto is on the
floor throwing clothes out of a suitcase.
Yasuraka jumps out of bed) What do you think you are
doing??? (Makoto ignores her. She pulls out something from the
suitcase. It’s a gold chain necklace
with a heart charm hanging from it)
Makoto:
I found it! (Makoto
stands up, her back toward Yasuraka.
She closes her eyes as she puts the necklace on. When she opens her eyes and turns around, she
sees a blood-shot eyes Yasuraka in front of her)
Yasuraka:
Just what do you think YOU ARE DOING??????
Makoto:
I was trying to find my necklace and I wasn’t sure which bag I put it
in.
Yasuraka:
(pointing as Makoto heads towards the door) There are clothes all over the floor!
Makoto:
I’ll pick them up after I have something to eat. (starts to exit the
room.)
Yasuraka:
(looks at the mess)
Well, at least it’s all her stuff. (looks over at one
of her empty suitcases. She picks up a
skirt from the ground)
(grimly) This is MY skirt!
Makoto:
(from outside the door; sticks her hand out and gives a wave) Sorry, I started
searching through the wrong suitcase.
Bye bye!
(leaves)
Yasuraka:
(clenching the skirt)
MAKOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***********************************************
(it
is lunch time. Makoto has just entered
the dining hall, Bulldog House (Clanton’s mascot is a Bull Dog)
Makoto:
Wow. There’s
a lot of choices here…and everything looks so gooooooooooooood!!! (starts heading
toward a meatloaf dish)
Voice:
I wouldn’t get that if I were you.
(Makoto turns around to see a really cute guy standing behind her. Makoto’s mouth drops) It doesn’t taste as good as it
looks. I’d prefer a double cheese steak
burger, but that’s just my opinion.
There’s also a really good salad bar.
The name’s Titony Sendu
by the way. (holds
out hand to shake hers)
Makoto:
(stunned)
Makoto…Yoshara. (they shake)
Titony: Well, I got to get going. Hopefully I’ll see you around again! (leaves)
Makoto:
(waves) Bye.
Girl:
Heehee!
(Makoto turns around to see a girl standing behind her. She starts to blush) You’re blushing. (Makoto blushes more) My name is Nokia Watoni. I’m in the same hall as you.
Makoto:
Oh. My name is…
Nokia:
Makoto Yoshara. I just heard you, and I’m very good with
names. You want to come eat with us,
Makoto? Me and
some other gals from the hall just got together for lunch.
Makoto:
Sure, Nokia! (the
two girls walk away. Yasuraka and Kasumi
enter the dining hall.)
Yasuraka:
Mmmmm!
I’m so hungry!
Kasumi:
You have to be careful what you eat, though. You don’t want to get the freshman 15.
Yasuraka:
Freshman 15? What’s that?
Kasumi:
The freshman 15 refers to the fact that freshman tend to eat more when
they are away from home. This could be
because of loneliness, boredom, the sudden lifestyle change, or maybe just the
simple fact that they can now since they are on their own. Because of overeating, freshman tend to
return back home gaining an extra 15 pounds.
So that’s why it’s called the freshman 15.
Yasuraka:
(shocked) maybe
I’ll just stick with the salad bar.
Kasumi:
Sounds like a good idea. (the next few conversations switch back and forth with
Yasuraka and Motoko)
Nokia:
This is Pearl Tanashi, Wasabi
Mako, and Jena Miziko. Everyone, this is Makoto Yoshara.
Pearl:
Hi, there.
Jene: Hello, Makoto.
Wasabi:
I’m stealing one of your French fries. Yonk!!! (Makoto sits down)
Nokia:
So how do you like your roommate, Makoto?
Kasumi:
Have you and your roommate been getting along now, Yasuraka?
Makoto:
She’s a royal pain in the butt! I
can’t stand her!
Yasuraka:
(stops) Are
you kidding? I don’t think I’ll ever get
along with her.
Makoto:
She’s too self-absorbed.
Yasuraka:
She went through my suitcase and I woke up this morning to find all of
my clothes all over the floor.
Makoto:
I got her back for her major attitude problem. I threw all of her clothes on the floor this
morning!
Yasuraka:
Wait until she gets back to the dorm; I threw all of her clothes out the
window (brief scene of clothes floating around outside the window; bras,
underwear, shirts, pants, socks, etc. stuck in trees and scattered across the
grass)
Makoto:
You should have seen her face.
Yasuraka:
(makes a goofy face)
That will be her face when she finds out.
Nakia: Oh.
Wasabi:
That’s way cool! I like you!
Makoto:
Really?
Kasumi:
That’s kind of mean of you, Yasuraka.
Yasuraka:
Well, serves her right for ripping up my poster! (looks up and
completely freezes) Ooh.
Kasumi:
Hmmm? What is it, Yasuraka? (she turns
around. They both see the cute model
from the poster order a couple of burgers.)
Oh, my gosh!
Yasuraka:
Wonder what he is doing here…
Kasumi:
(pulling on Yasuraka’s arm) Come on! Go say ‘hello’ to him! This is like a fairytale, Yasuraka! (Yasuraka just stands there)
Yasuraka:
I can’t move. (Kahol turns around.
He looks up at Yasuraka and starts walking toward her)
Kasumi:
He’s walking toward you! (Kahol gets closer.
Kasumi snaps her fingers in front of Yasuraka) Yasuraka! Wake up!
(Kahol walks past them. He gives a little smile as he walks by)
Yasuraka:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Kasumi:
Yasuraka! (Yasuraka shakes her
head. She looks up)
Yasuraka:
Where did he go??
Kasumi:
He walked right past you!
Yasuraka:
Really? (she
starts looking around)
Wasabi:
Maybe they’ll have cheese there.
Wasabi:
That’s not cheese.
Yasuraka:
(looking around)
Where did he go?
Makoto:
(jumps up) I
can’t wait! (she
slides her chair and accidentally hits Yasuraka from behind)
Yasuraka and Makoto simultaneously: YOU!!!!
(they immediately jump back at sight of each
other.)
Blah! (they both turn
around, back to back)
Kasumi:
(sighs) Looks
like it’s going to be a rough year. (nods her head in agreement)
Mhmm.
********************************************
(Stupid 1 and Stupid 2
are two random guys that pop up every now and then.
Actually, they’re not really stupid.
They just have the misfortune of being at the wrong place at the wrong
time; and that would be too long of names to use, so that’s why they’re simply
called The Stupids)
Stupid 1: (pearing
down the hall from a door on the right hand side) This hall leads all the ways to the
other end. It’ll be a nice short-cut,
Stupid 2:
Yeah, so we don’t have to walk all the ways around. Do you think it would be a problem? I mean, to walk
through a girls hall?
Stupid 1:
Sure! Why not? People do it all the time. Come on, lets
go! (The Stupids
open the door. The coast is clear. They start walking down the hallway.) See?
This isn’t so bad. Not a girl in
sight!
Stupid 2:
Guess you’re right! (at that moment, the sound of a toilet flushing is heard as
the bathroom door swings open. Venora
steps out. Both guys freeze.) Do you think she sees us? (Venora doesn’t look up. She closes her eyes, her left hand on the
whip)
Venora:
(suddenly turns around, whip above her head) You boys get your ugly faces out of
this hall! (Both guys scream. They run down the hall as Venora chases them,
lashing the whip about)
You dirty, filthy boys; GET OUT OF HERE! (Venora chases them back to where they
started. The boys run toward the door
and open it and close it as quickly as they can. Once the door is closed, Venora slips the
whip back in her pocket and walks casually down the hall as if nothing had
happened. Meanwhile, the boys on the
other end are trying to catch their breath; their hearts are still beating a
mile a minute.)
Stupid 2:
That wasn’t a girl. That was a
monster!
Stupid 1:
Hopefully we’ll never have to run into her again!!!!!! (they both
simultaneously nod their heads in agreement)
****************************************
(it
is night time. Yasuraka is lying on her
bed going through some of her school books.
Makoto comes in carrying a dress)
Makoto:
Luckily
Yasuraka:
You got money. You can go buy
yourself a new one.
Makoto:
I have to go buy myself lots of new clothes because you RUINED them
all! (holds out
a torn up t-shirt) Actually, YOU should
buy me some new clothes since it is YOUR fault!
Yasuraka:
Sure. And while we’re at it, you
can go buy me a new poster.
Makoto:
Fine!
Yasuraka:
(casually flips a page in the book she’s looking at) They don’t make posters of him
anymore. You’ll have to go make it
yourself.
Makoto:
What?
Yasuraka:
He goes to Clanton. You should go
have him model for you. Then I can have my
new poster.
Makoto:
(blushes; grumbling)
Fine. But you are NOT
going to this party with us.
Yasuraka: Fine with me. (flips another
page. Makoto ties up her hair)
Makoto:
All set! (the
door opens up)
Nokia:
You ready, Makoto? (Makoto grabs
her purse)
Makoto:
Yup! (she
leaves, slamming the door behind her.
Yasuraka hears some giggling from outside; then silence)
Yasuraka:
Hmph. (flips another page of her book)
**********************************
(a
couple of hours later. Yasuraka is lying
on her back, her book shoved aside. She
is obviously bored. Yasuraka sighs.)
Yasuraka:
I’m so bored. (flops
on her belly) And everyone’s gone. (she gets up. She opens the door and peers down the
hall. It is empty. Yasuraka groans. She looks up and notices a light coming from
a door up ahead.) Wonder who else is
here? Yasuraka walks toward the
light. She walks past Venora’s room; Venora is lying on her bed working on
something. Yasuraka stops at the door
next to Venora’s room. She sees Molly playing a game of solitaire on
the floor. She’s all alone.) Molly?
(Molly looks up)
Molly:
Oh, hi, Yasuraka! I didn’t think
anyone else was here.
Yasuraka:
I’m not much of a party person.
How about you? Why didn’t you go?
Molly:
Oh. Well, I decided to stay here
and help Venora.
Yasuraka:
(wrinkles her nose)
Venora? Why?
Molly:
Because she needed some help. I
don’t mind.
Venora:
(sticks her head in the door) Molly, could you please hang these
up? (glares at
Yasuraka)
Molly:
(getting up)
sure. (Molly takes the
fliers. Venora continues glaring at
Yasuraka as she leaves. Once Venora was
gone, Yasuraka stands up and walks over to Molly)
Yasuraka:
What does the flier say?
(Yasuraka is shocked. It’s a list
of rules. The list goes on and on)
Molly:
No boys allowed in rooms at any time, no boys allowed in the halls after
6, no boys allowed in the bathroom, no boys allowed outside any windows at any
time…(the list continues)
Yasuraka:
I guess she really does not like boys, does she?
Molly:
No, she doesn’t. Hey, do you want
to see a neat card trick?
Yasuraka:
Sure! (Molly puts the fliers on
the table as Yasuraka sits down on the floor.
Molly kneels down on the floor as she picks up the pack of cards)
Molly:
See the Queen of Diamonds? (Yasuraka
nods her head. Yasuraka slips the card
in the deck which she then shuffles. (all of the cards are flipped the same way) Molly hands Yasuraka the deck) Shuffle it and then
fold the cards out to me. (Yasuraka does
this and folds out the cards. Molly
closes her eyes and picks one of the cards.
She brings it up to her face and looks at it) (smiling as she flips the card
over) Queen of Diamonds!
Yasuraka:
How did you do that?
Molly:
For some reason, I can always pick that card out of the deck. I’ve tried other cards, but only the Queen of
Diamonds works for me. Maybe it means
something.
Yasuraka:
Like in your future, you’re going to be a wealthy queen?
Molly:
(smiling) Maybe! (both girls
laugh) You know, I can’t wait for
classes to start.
Yasuraka:
Yeah, neither can I.
Molly:
I like new adventures…new challenges.
Every subject is unique in its own way. College is going to be a very interesting
experience. It’s so different from high
school and middle school and elementary school…makes it kind of exciting and
scary and strange and fun…all at the same time.
You know what I mean?
Yasuraka:
I know exactly what you mean. (the two girls look up toward the ceiling)
Molly:
Our whole future is just ahead of us.
I can’t wait to meet it.
Yasuraka:
Neither can I.
****************************************
(at
the party. Makoto is sitting with
Nokia:
Look at
Random girl:
(with a drink in her hand; she is drunk and her face is red. She is leaning over as she slurs out her
words) That’s Titony. He’s very
popular. Rumor is he is dating six girls
at once and they all know about each other, but they don’t care. They’re just glad to be him…what him…with
him…maybe I was one of the girls…(she starts to
fall.
Nokia:
I’m sorry, Makoto.
Makoto:
It’s no big deal. I already have
a boyfriend. (she
gives a fake laugh) Haha! (she looks up at Titony) (thoughts) I just hope
Deskin won’t forget about me…
Wasabi:
I wish I had some crackers. (
Pearl:
Aren’t you coming, Makoto?
Makoto:
I’ll catch the next dance.
Nokia:
So what’s he like?
Makoto:
Hmmm? Who?
Nokia:
Your boyfriend!
Makoto:
Deskin?
Nokia:
Deskin? What a nice name…
Makoto:
I’ve know him for a long time…we’ve been dating
for three years.
Nokia:
Three years?
Makoto:
Yes, well, not three straight years.
There was this girl named Mindy, he went out with for a little while…he
broke up with her and came back to me though.
(sighs)
Nokia:
So, what’s wrong?
Makoto:
Deskin went to
Nokia:
(getting the picture)
Ooooooh.
Makoto:
And I’m afraid with me out of the picture he’ll forget about
me…(smiles) I know I’m being silly, but…
Nokia:
There’s nothing silly about being in love, Makoto. If he really loves you, nothing will happen
between him and Mindy. If you trust him
as much as he trusts you, everything should be fine. You just got to let your heart show you the
way.
Makoto:
Thanks, Nokia.
Pearl:
(comes back to the table) Come on you guys! It’s the next song, Makoto! (starts pulling
Makoto’s arm)
Makoto:
Ok, ok! We’re coming! (Wasabi is still sleeping on the table as
Nokia and Makoto get up and start dancing with the others)
***********************************
(it
is past
Yasuraka:
Makoto!
Makoto:
One tequila, two tequilas, three tequilas, floor! (she starts to laugh
drunkly)
Yasuraka:
(starts to get out of bed) Look, if you’re going to drink, you
are going to have to be quiet…(takes a whiff of Makoto’s breath) WOAH!
How much did you drink?
Makoto:
(holds out seven fingers) Five!
(she kneels over a bit and then starts to get
up) I’m going to bed. (she gets into
bed. Yasuraka walks over to her and
whacks are across the face)
Yasuraka:
If you come in drunk like that again…(Makoto
returns the whack back. Yasuraka holds
her face, a bit shocked)
Makoto:
Shut-up and go to bed. (Yasuraka,
still shocked, turns away and heads back to bed. She flips off the light, gets back in her
warm sheets, settles in and goes to sleep.
Makoto does the same. She closes
her eyes and then opens them again. Her
hand holds the heart-shaped locket around her neck. She smiles and falls asleep)
