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)  MakotoYoshara.  (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!

Pearl:  Hey, I have an inside scoop about a party going on that the girls and I are going to tonight.  You’re welcome to join us, Makoto.

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)

Jena:  Our first party at Clanton.  This should be lots of fun!

Wasabi:  Maybe they’ll have cheese there.

Pearl:  Tequilas.  They have the best tequilas.

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 Jena had an extra dress that I could BORROW!  (glares angrily at Yasuraka)

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 Jena, Wasabi (who has fallen asleep on the table), and Nokia.  Pearl is out dancing with a guy)

Nokia:  Look at Pearl dance!  (the girls start laughing as they sip their tequilas.  Suddenly, the boy Makoto saw before, Titony, comes in.  There are several girls googiling over him)  Hey, Makoto, looks like your guy made it here, too.  And it seems that he’s real popular.  (Makoto turns around and watches him pass by, laughing with the girl crowd surrounding him.  Makoto frowns)

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.  Jena gives a gasp and catches her)

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…

Jena:  I wish I had a boyfriend.  (she sighs)

Wasabi:  I wish I had some crackers.  (Pearl comes to the table)

Pearl:  Come on you guys!  Let’s dance!!!

Jena:  (getting up)  I’m coming.  (Nokia tries shaking the random girl, but she’s completely out.  She just makes some girbuly noises)

Pearl:  Aren’t you coming, Makoto?

Makoto:  I’ll catch the next dance.

Pearl:  Hmmm?  (smiles)  Suit yourself.  (the two girls leave)

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 Newport Tech…and Mindy went there, too.

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 midnight.  The hall is covered with the fliers.  Inside Yasuraka and Makoto’s bedroom, the lights are off.  Yasuraka is snuggled up in bed sleeping.  Suddenly, Makoto swings open the door loudly.  She turns on the light as she proceeds to slip on a sock and falls laughing to the floor.  Yasuraka wakes up more than annoyed)

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)
