Scene 1
Alyssa: I don’t want anymore calls from my friends telling me my sons out here in school beating up on some kid. I better not hear anything like that again.

JJ: You won’t.

Alyssa: I won’t huh? Let’s see how long that lasts.

Alyssa walks out of the room. CJ walks in.

JJ: Man, mom won’t get off my back.

Alyssa walks back in.

Alyssa: You lucky I’m not really on your back. I’ll really be on you if you get suspended again.

JJ: Okay, mom. I’m sorry.

Alyssa walks out again.

CJ: See, if you would’ve just left Harrison alone in the first place we wouldn’t have this problem.

JJ: I know he snitched on me. I don’t care what anybody says.

CJ: Burke says it wasn’t Harrison so just let it go.

JJ: Who else would’ve told on me? Was it you? It was probably you.

CJ: It wasn’t me-

JJ: (standing up) I swear if it was you-

CJ: What? I’ll call mom right back up here. I told you it wasn’t me now sit down.

JJ: (sits down) Fine. I’m sorry. But who was it then? I know you know. I can tell.

CJ: Who cares.

JJ: Do you know who it was?

CJ: Well, yeah. But it doesn’t matter.

JJ: It does matter. They can get it too.

CJ: Nobody should be getting anything. Didn’t you learn your lesson? Besides, I know you wouldn’t beat her up.

JJ: She? Who was it? Angie?

CJ: No.

JJ: Who was it then? I bet it was Angie and you’re just trying to-

CJ: It was Jenny.

JJ: What?! No way.

CJ: Yeah, she was mad at you because you’re always disrespecting her.

JJ: Oh, she’s seen nothing yet. Why didn’t you tell me all of this before I went to find Harrison?

CJ: I didn’t know you were gonna go beat up whoever told on you.

JJ: I’m a man. Nobody snitches on me.

CJ: Yeah, I remember seeing that philosophy in the Martin Luther King documentary.

JJ: What?

CJ: Never mind.

JJ: I’m gonna talk to her when we get to school.

CJ: It was kinda nice not having you there.

JJ: Come on, man. That’s messed up.

CJ: Well, it wasn’t totally nice because Harrison wouldn’t talk to me. He’s starting to think that being friends with me is trouble because I’m related to you. So thanks for that.

JJ: That’s stupid. You don’t have anything to do with what I do.

CJ: I know, but you’re making me look bad. If you do something bad, I automatically get associated with it and I’m tired of it.

JJ: We’re always gonna be brothers so you’re just gonna have to get used to it.

CJ: Or why can’t you just stop acting like dad!

JJ tackled CJ to the floor and starts hitting him.

JJ: Stop talking about dad like that!

Alyssa runs in and pulls JJ off of CJ by his hair.

Alyssa: Okay, that’s it. If I have to say anything to you one more time, you’re going to live with your father.

JJ: Me and CJ will be fine at-

Alyssa: No. Not you and CJ. CJ would stay with me. Wherever dad decides to wonder off to whenever he feels like it, you’ll go with him. You’ll live with him. He’s always wanted you to live with him.

JJ: But I don’t want to be kicked out.

Alyssa: Than behave yourself.

JJ: Whatever.

Alyssa looks at him angrily, and walks out.

Alyssa (from outside the room): Get ready so you don’t miss the bus.

Scene 2
CJ walks up to Harrison outside as all the students are waiting to go inside.

CJ: Come on bro. Talk to me.

Harrison: I don’t know. I might get beaten up again.

CJ: Why do I have to get all this? I’m the one that defended you.

Harrison: What do you mean?

CJ: I told JJ you didn’t snitch.

Harrison: What are you talking about?

CJ: You know how JJ beat you up because he thinks you snitched on him?

Harrison: No!

CJ: Oh.. well... that’s why.

Harrison: I didn’t snitch on him.

CJ: I know. Angie did.

Harrison: Angie?! I got beaten up because of Angie?

CJ: No! She was trying to help you so the teachers would make JJ leave you alone but they didn’t really do that. They just gave him a punishment and that got JJ mad.

Harrison: I thought he just beat me up because I hang out with you. I know he doesn’t like that we’re friends.

CJ: I don’t like his girlfriend but he still goes out with her. He can’t tell me who to hang out with. And he can’t tell others not to hang out with me. He doesn’t own me.

Harrison: Oh. Well, I’m sorry. It’s just... that was really embarrassing and I didn’t want it to happen again.

CJ: Yeah, I totally understand.

Harrison: It was nice without him being here. It kinda sucks that he’s back.

CJ: Oh yeah, so he’s probably gonna leave you alone.

Harrison: I doubt that.

CJ: No, listen. My mom told him if he gets in trouble one more time he’s getting kicked out of my house.

Harrison: That’s not gonna happen. Come on. She’s just gonna put him on the street?

CJ: Our parents are divorced. Our dad doesn’t live with us. If JJ gets in trouble again, he’s going to live with my dad.

Harrison: Oh. But still, you think your mom would really kick him out?

CJ: I think so.

Harrison: Not a lot of parents actually go through with things like that.

CJ: She might. I don’t know. But JJ probably isn’t thinking that.

Harrison: I just hope he leaves me alone.

CJ: Me too. Don’t worry, he’s on the teachers’ bad side now. They’ll probably be watching him.

Harrison: Imagine they catch him.

CJ: That’d be great.

The bell rings and they all go inside.

Harrison: So how are things with you and Angie?

CJ: Great. She’s the greatest.

Harrison: I thought you guys were gonna break up.

CJ: Why did you think that?

Harrison: I heard Sebastian say that.

CJ: What? What else did he say?

Harrison: He said you probably find out what Angie did that night when JJ tricked me into going to Hawk Hill and you guys were gonna break up.

CJ: What did she do?

Harrison: I was listening for that but I didn’t hear it.

CJ: What do you think she did?

Harrison: Wasn’t she with you? What could she have done?

CJ: Oh, yeah. What the hell? What could she have done?

Harrison: I’d ignore it. You said she’s great so you don’t have anything to worry about.

CJ: But what if I do have something to worry about?

Harrison: He was saying it like he was happy about it.

CJ: What? He wants her or something?

Harrison: She’s a pretty girl. Probably.

CJ: I don’t want anybody taking her away from me.

Harrison: But she likes you. Not him. I’ve never even see her talk to him.

CJ: Where is she anyway?

Harrison: I don’t know. There’s Sebastian right there. Oh, no. Bro, let’s turn around.

CJ: Is that Angie talking to him?!

Harrison: I’m sure it’s not what you think.

CJ: Whatever.

They keep walking. Angie walks up to them and hugs CJ then keeps walking.

CJ: She usually kisses me.

Harrison: She’ll probably do it later.

CJ: Why didn’t she do it now?

Harrison: I don’t know. Don’t worry.

Scene 3
In science class, Angie, Harrison, and CJ are doing classwork. Angie is smiling.

Angie: Hey babe, I have something to do tonight. Can we hang out some other time?

CJ and Harrison look at each other.

CJ: Why?

Angie: I have to do something.

CJ: What is it?

Angie: I gotta take care of my mom.

CJ: Really? What’s wrong with your mom?

Angie: She’s sick.

Harrison: She is? With what?

Angie: Why are you guys interrogating me?

Harrison: Why? Are you nervous?

Angie: What do you guys think I’m doing?

CJ: Well...

Harrison: We saw you with Sebastian.

Angie: So?! You think I’m gonna be with Sebastian?

Harrison: We’re not ruling it out.

Angie: I’m not gonna be with him. I honestly have to take care of my mom. Jenny told me she said she’s sick and needs somebody to take care of her.

CJ: So why doesn’t Jenny do it?

Angie: Jenny’s going to Hawk Hill tonight.

CJ: Oh. Okay. I’m sorry.

Angie: It’s fine. You know I wanna hang out with you. I don’t want to hang out with some tall doof.

CJ: I just got scared because you know he’s an upperclassman and I know- wait... why were you talking to him anyway?

Angie: I have to have your approval to talk to guys now?

CJ: No. I’m just asking.

Angie: You weren’t in the conversation so don’t worry.

CJ: Fine.

The bell rings. They all walk out.

Harrison: I’m kinda worried about this.

CJ: Yeah, me too.

Harrison: Sebastian’s right over there. You could ask him.

CJ: You’re right. Sebastian! Come here.

Sebastian goes over to him and Harrison.

CJ: What were you and Angie talking about this morning?

Sebastian: Well, hello to you too.

Harrison: Just answer the question.

Sebastian: Ooh, I thought JJ knocked all the sarcasm out of you. I guess he missed some.

CJ: Just tell us what you guys were talking about.

Sebastian: (laughs) Don’t worry.

Sebastian starts walking away.

CJ: Wait, why were you saying me and Angie were gonna break up?

Sebastian shrugs with a smirk on his face.

Harrison: What an ass.

CJ: I hate him.

Harrison: Me too. He’s after your girlfriend.

CJ: I know.

Harrison: What are you gonna do about it?

CJ: There’s nothing I can really do about it. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m just worried for nothing. Just because he likes her doesn’t mean she likes him.

Harrison: Yeah, you guys have a great relationship. There really isn’t anything to stress over.

CJ: You’re right.

Harrison: I still don’t like him though.

CJ: Right? Angie’s right. He IS a tall door.

Harrison: Angie would never like a jerk like that over you.

CJ: Maybe I should apologize to her at lunch.

Harrison: We’re not going to lunch. Remember? We’re going to the computer lab to do the project?

CJ: Oh, yeah. I’ll just see her after school then.

Scene 4
Angie and Jenny are sitting together at lunch.

Angie: So what’s wrong with mom?

Jenny: Nothing.

Angie: What do you mean?

Jenny: Wait, did you already break your plans with CJ?

Angie: YES!

Jenny: Good. Can you come with me to Hawk Hill?

Angie: What? Why?

Jenny: J went crazy on me today and I wanna give him some payback.

Angie: Wait, why did he go crazy on you?

Jenny: He said I snitched on him for bullying that weird kid your boyfriend hangs out with.

Angie: Oh my god. You didn’t do that.

Jenny: I know I didn’t. Wait a minute... why did you say that so sure? I mean I didn’t do that but-

Angie: I did it.

Jenny: So you’re the reason my boyfriend went crazy on me. Great.

Angie: What do you mean great?

Jenny: Because now you owe me.

Angie: Would going to Hawk Hill make us even?

Jenny: Yeah, there’s just one more little thing.

Angie: What is it?

Jenny: Remember, you owe me.

Angie: What is it?!

Jenny: Well, you know Daynah right?

Angie: Yeah.

Jenny: I wanna talk to him because he’ll go along with whatever I’m saying and it’s gonna get J mad.

Angie: What does that have to do with me?

Jenny: I don’t want Sebastian over there distracting Daynah so I want you to hang out with him a little bit.

Angie: I don’t have to do anything with him right?

Jenny: I mean, if you want to...

Angie: I have a boyfriend.

Jenny: So what? It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a favor.

Angie: I’ll distract him but I’m not gonna kiss him.

Jenny: So you agree right?

Angie: Yes.

Jenny: Okay, now that you said that I feel safer telling you that he likes you.

Angie: He likes me?! What if he tries to do something?

Jenny: What does it matter? Why do you care about CJ so much? I’d be pissed at him right now if I was you.

Angie: Why? Because he’s a great boy-

Jenny: No, Sebastian told me CJ asked him what you guys were talking about. I think he thinks you’re cheating on him.

Angie: I told him there was nothing to worry about.

Jenny: I guess he doesn’t trust you.

Angie looks sad.

Jenny: So go have fun with Sebastian tonight. Those seventh graders don’t do this type of stuff.

Angie: Alright, I’ll distract him tonight for you. But I’m not promising you anything.

Jenny: I don’t care. As long as Sebastian’s not in Daynah’s face I’m fine. You know how they are. Sebastian’s gonna be telling his stupid jokes the whole time. That’s so annoying.

Angie: You should’ve seen CJ and Harrison asking me all these questions about Sebastian.

Jenny: See, that’s not the type of guy you want. You want the type of guy that trusts what you say.

Angie: He’s probably just worried.

Jenny: But if you told him there was nothing to be worried about then he shouldn’t have to ask Sebastian anything. Sebastian would be easier for you. He wouldn’t be doing all of that.

Angie: You’re right. But I like CJ. He’s so nice to me.

Jenny: Sebastian said CJ said something about breaking up.

Angie: No, he didn’t!

Sebastian walks up behind them.

Sebastian: Oh, yes he did.

Angie: Oh really?

Sebastian: Oh yes.

Angie: Oh, so I’ll see you at the park tonight.

Sebastian: Oh yes you will.

Scene 5
CJ is walking outside after school. Angie walks up to him angrily.

CJ: Hey babe.

Angie: Babe nothing. Why did you talk Sebastian?

CJ: I just wanted to know what you guys were talking about?

Angie: What? You don’t trust me or something?

CJ: I just don’t want to lose you.

Angie: So then what’s this I hear about you asking Sebastian about breaking up?

Harrison is behind them.

CJ: I was curious.

Harrison gasps behind them.

Angie: Curious? Got you. Be curious by yourself.

CJ is confused. Angie walks away. Harrison runs up to CJ.

Harrison: No, no, no! Go get her.

CJ: What do you mean? She’s mad.

Harrison: She didn’t say about the break up rumor she said breaking up. You guys basically just broke up.

CJ: No, we didn’t- Oh my god. We did.

Harrison: Go get her.

CJ: You’re right.

Angie gets in her mom’s car.

CJ: That’s her mom’s car.

Harrison: That’s her mom driving it?

CJ: Yep.

Harrison: Wow. That’s messed up.

CJ: Yeah. It is. You wanna come over tonight? Since I don’t have plans anymore.

Harrison: Sure. Wait, no. JJ’s gonna be there isn’t he?

CJ: JJ’s never home until like 11. He’s always at Hawk Hill.

Harrison: Oh, okay. Is he still going out with Jenny?

CJ: I don’t know. They’re on and off all the time.

Harrison: Do they even like each other?

CJ: Don’t ask me. I don’t support that relationship at all.

Harrison: I don’t like Jenny at all.

CJ: Me neither.

Harrison: She’s just like him.

CJ: I know. I’m known her for too long. She slapped me the other day.

Harrison: Why?

CJ: She was talking crazy and I responded. She’s crazy.

Harrison: She’s like a dude.

JJ walks over to them.

JJ: What’s up CJ... What’s up?

Harrison looks the other way.

JJ: Whatever. Yo, I told Jenny off.

CJ: What are you talking about?

JJ: Because she snitched on me.

Harrison: Jenny didn’t snitch on you.

CJ: Shut up.

JJ: Wait, what? Who did then?

Harrison: Oh god.

JJ grabs Harrison.

JJ: Who snitched on me then? Unless it was you.

CJ: Let him go. It was Angie.

JJ: Yeah, right. Stop trying to-

Harrison: Dude, stop. It was Angie. She told me.

JJ: You sure?

Harrison: I’m positive.

JJ: I just told her off!

CJ: Go tell her on!

JJ: I hope she’s going to the park tonight.

Harrison: Don’t you guys always go?

JJ: Yeah, but we usually plan it. I didn’t plan it with her.

Harrison: She’ll probably still go.

JJ: I hope so. Stop telling me the wrong information.

CJ: Then stop acting like an idiot and I won’t be afraid to tell you the right information. You can’t just go acting out every time something happens that you don’t like.

JJ: You’re right. I just hope I didn’t lose my girl.

Scene 6
Angie and Jenny are at Hawk Hill. Daynah and Sebastian show up. Sebastian and Angie hug.

Jenny: Okay, we’ll see you guys later.

Angie and Sebastian start walking away.

Sebastian: So, what’s up?

Angie: Just kinda mad at my b- Cam.

Sebastian: Don’t think about him.

Sebastian tries to put his arm around Angie.

Angie: No. I don’t know you like that.

Sebastian: So? Why you so uptight?

Angie: I’m not uptight. I don’t even know if I’m single or not.

Sebastian: Your boyfriend’s out here talking about breaking up so what’s the problem?

Angie: But he didn’t seem like he wants to break up and I don’t want to break up with him either.

Sebastian: I should’ve known not to mess with a 6th grader.

Angie: You can feel free to leave. It’s my sister’s fault I’m here. I didn’t want to be here. I wanna be with my boyfriend!

Sebastian: You just answered your own question. You’re not single.

Angie: Nope.

Sebastian: Well, I have a feeling I’m not wanted over there. I get that you got a boyfriend, but we can still hang out until they’re done doing whatever they’re doing.

Angie: Sure. Just don’t try anything.

Sebastian: Isn’t she still dating JJ?

Angie: Yeah. She’s a mess.

Sebastian: That’s your sister.

Angie: Yeah, but she’s still a mess. She’s all over the place. She’s hanging out with Daynah, going out with JJ, probably still likes Jace.

Sebastian: She likes Jace?

Angie: Yeah, she’s liked him since we were in like 2nd grade.

Sebastian: What about JJ?

Angie: She just likes JJ because he liked her when she was ugly. Now she’s getting all hot.

Sebastian: She just likes him because he liked her when she was ugly?

Angie: You don’t get girls do you?

Sebastian: I guess not.

Angie: Yeah. I’d try to catch on. It’d save you time.

Sebastian: Oh yeah, I feel like I should tell you something.

Angie: What?

Sebastian: Cam didn’t say he wanted to break up with you. He just asked me about some rumor about you two breaking up.

Angie: Who started that?

Sebastian: Well... me.

Angie: Wow. You really suck. I can’t believe I’m even with you right now. My boyfriend’s probably home worried about me and you’re making rumors about me. What did you think would happen? I would hear these rumors and do it and go out with you?

Sebastian looks nervous.

Angie: Now you wouldn’t have a chance even if me and CJ would break up. Now I know that you’re a jerk. Now you can just stay here by yourself

Sebastian: Whatever then. Nobody needs you.

Angie walks away.

Sebastian walks back over to Daynah and Jenny.

Jenny: Where did Angie go?

Sebastian: She left.

Jenny: Well, you need to go find someone else to talk to. I’m busy right now.

JJ walks up to them.

JJ: HEY!

JJ walks quickly towards them.

JJ: What the hell are you doing with your arms on my girl?

Daynah: I don’t think this is your girl anymore.

JJ grabs Jenny.

JJ: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Jenny smacks JJ loudly in the face.

Jenny: Don’t ever grab me like that again.

JJ pushes Jenny onto the floor. Daynah stands up.

Daynah: Aye bro, chill out. That’s a girl.

JJ: Mind your business.

Daynah and JJ start fighting.

Jenny tries to break it up but JJ pushes Jenny into a table and she hits her face on it, giving her a black eye.

JJ tries to help her up, but Jenny pushes him off and walks away.

Daynah and Sebastian stare at JJ intensely.
