school babe

Amy- we need to talk.

Alice- ...

Amy- hey! I'm talking to you.

Alice- me? I thought you hated me.

Amy- i still do.

Alice- well me too sweetie. Bye.

Amy- please wait. This is about Melvin.

Alice- ....what about him?

Amy- you guys still talk right?

Alice- not really. He's an ex.

Amy- did you know?

Alice- about what?

Amy- that's he's gay?

Alice- oh i knew that by the first date. Hahaha.

Amy- for real? You slept with him?

Alice- of course not. He took me to Jay's coffee corner and we were talking and this handsome waiter guy came to take the order and i complemented the guy. Funny thing is he was just as awed as i was. Then we talked about stuff and i felt like Melvin was still pretty lost in thought, changing glances with the waiter so i thought "they must be buddies". So we talked again and just bit digging later i realized "wow Melvin is gay." Couldn't believe that. Hahahaha.

Amy- what then?

Alice- well, i helped him get the guys number.

Amy- why would you help him?

Alice- why not?... i mean Melvin is pretty chill. His guy friends helped me get the booze and at Fifis party. And then we were drinking and chilling at the rooftop.

Amy- wow.

Alice- yeah. We did kiss at the end and that was it.

Amy- for real. That was it? You're trying to tell me you're still a virgin after all this? The whole class knows that you guys spent the night in Fionas bedroom.

Alice- oh hell no. Look everyone knew you had a crush on Melvin so everyone lied to you. We were playing cards at Fionas bedroom. Donna, Nikki and Noah were there too. You can ask them.

[Amy is shooting fireballs from her eyes when a few girls enter the washroom]

Girl- omg Alice!

Alice- hey Fiona...

Fiona- well you guys are friends again?

Alice- oh yeah. We were just minding our own business.

Girl 2- well we could help you if you need any.

Alice- oh no. We were actually leaving.

Fiona- alright then we'll leave you two.

Alice- bye fifi.

Fiona- bye Alice.

[Other girls watch and giggle as they leave the washroom.]

Amy- hate those bitches.

Alice- nope they are even worse. They're snitches.

Amy- totally.

Alice- hmm. So where do we go now?

Amy- bathrooms are not safe. We should go to the grounds.

Alice- not a bad idea.

[Alice and Amy walk to the grounds where they watch Melvin and the others practice football.]

Amy- so you guys lied to me?

Alice- it was a prank although not a good one. I'm sorry.

Amy- you're sorry? Wow.

Alice- how did you learn about his...

Amy- ...no i didn't sleep with him.

Alice- at least you shouldn't complain. You're not a virgin anyway.

Amy- ...that's not true. Danny barely dated me.

Alice- wasn't he in college?

Amy- he still is. We only talked dirty and kissed a few times. We thought of sleeping at a hotel but i bailed on him, last moment. W never talked again. He ghosted me.

Alice- well i am glad. You didn't do it with that loser. He was 21 and you were barely 17.

Amy- but he was cute.

Alice- then why not date someone his own age? Why you? He was such a sicko. He looked desperate.

Amy- ....

Alice- so how did you know .... really...

Amy- he texted me yesterday.

Alice- and?

Amy- what else? I was speechless. In fact i still am.

Alice- just face it. He's a good friend material but not a boyfriend material. He has good taste in fashion.

Amy- is that why you have been able to look so good at the last few birthday parties?

Alice- well of course he didn't dress me up at my house but we did go on shopping dates. You heard it.

Amy- i used to be so jealous of you.

Alice- you still are.

Amy- no I'm not.

Alice- you like Damian don't you?

Amy- well Melvin and Damian are different. I barely know Damian. He feels very distant. Melvin... I've loved him my whole life. It just feels like i was living a lie this whole time.

Alice- ...

Amy- you angry with me?

Alice- not really. I never was.

Amy- you know i just thought i defeated you after taking back Melvin. That your charms didn't work on him. Turns out i was just daydreaming.

Alice- isn't that the Amy you've always been? Head in the clouds while i do all the work.

Amy- i never made you do any work.

Alice- yes you did. You used to hang around mostly for 1 reason Amy and that was my class notes.

Amy- what?

Alice- lemme talk.

Amy- ...

Alice- Later it turned to cheating in exams cause our roll numbers always fall next to each other. You used to borrow everything i had— pencils, books, erasers, all kinds of stationary and never return them. You hung out with Candices group cause you have always loved buttering up to those bullying bitches. You even stole my watch but then i made up by stealing it back from you and throwing your shit out the window. Yeah that was me. It's always been give and take between me and you and I'm glad Melvin isn't yours. Hahaha... I did sleep with Melvin, just not at fifis birthday party. Who in the right mind will fuck at a school birthday party while everyone's there to spread rumors and judge me? We slept at Melvins dad's 2nd flat back during his cousins wedding. He's a great kisser by the way. Too bad he isn't yours.

[Amy shoves Alice towards the ground but Alice puts up a fight as well slapping her back. They throw hands until Alice shoves her away and defeated Amy leaves the ground with crocodile tears and messy fish plates.]

Amy- FUCK YOU YOU SLUT!

Alice- See you in hell bitch!

[Passersby students gather around Alice while she dusts the dirt off her skirt. Mr. S , the football coach, walks up to her and starts asking questions cause he saw the entire fight with his eyes. He checks her id and an even bigger crowd gathers around.]

Teacher- what was that just now?

Alice- nothing sir.

Teacher- students, go back to your respective classrooms or whatever activities you were doing. Don't make a scene here.

Boy- excuse me sir should i swap with Damian?

Teacher- go ahead.

[Boy leaves]

Teacher- and don't forget the formation! Hmm... back to you now. What's your name?

Alice- Alice.

Teacher- hmm. Was that your friend just now?

Alice- yes sir.

Teacher- tell her not to swear in front of everyone. You can do it right ex captain?

Alice- yes sir.

Teacher- why you looking down? Look at me.

Alice- yes sir.

Teacher- will you remember my words?

Alice- yes sir.

Teacher- keep them in mind.

Alice- sorry sir.

Teacher- you can go now.

[Alice leaves immediately without looking back. Damian follows her shortly back into the school building.]

Damian- hey.

Alice- hey.

Damian- what happened back there?

Alice- a fight.

Damian- she also pushed you hard. Come on let's go to infirmary.

[After coming out of separate boys and girls infirmary with bandages and a bottle of electrolyte]

Damian- how's your arm?

Alice- much better.

Damian- that's good.

Alice- you're following me back?

Damian- yeah.

Alice- you have to take your sports bag right?

Damian- it's in the sports locker room in 5th floor.

Alice- oh.

Damian- ...

Alice- ....

Damian- .....why are you crying?

Alice- ah crap...

Damian- ...what's wrong?

Alice- ....nothing.

Damian- ....

Alice- why are you here anyway?

Damian- i thought....

[Alice covers her eyes with her palm, laughs a bit then wipe her face and runs into a bathroom.]

Alice- I'll be back in a minute.

Damian- ok.

[Alice washes her face and then walks out with a sigh of relief.]

Alice- phew.

Damian- did Mr S say something nasty? Look he can be nasty with girls so you gotta be careful.

Alice- ....

Damian- ....

Alice- i think I'm fine now.

Damian- ...for real?

Alice- i mean i did just fine without you here for the past 10 years. You're not helping shit.

Damian- wow really you're fighting me now?

Alice- doesn't change shit brother.

Damian- oh my god.

Alice- what? is it wrong to speak the truth now?

Damian- after what we did. Yeah totally Fucked up.

Alice- so be it.

[Damian stoops and begs, almost touching her feet in a corridor full of kids walking around and playing. Some kids whisper among themselves and others laugh and avoid.]

Damian- look i am sorry.

Alice- hahahaha. Stop. Alright alright.... get up. You're so scared if getting caught.

Damian- I'll do anything but that. Ok?

Alice- alright. Anything?

Damian- anything for your highness.

Alice- you're taking me out to drags pizzeria.

Damian- sure. Let's go today.

Alice- ok.
