Description FADE IN:


      
               
INT. GYMNASIUM - DAY
      
               
      
               
Jason is writing in his notebook at the far corner of the
gym, Bob enters
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
Hey man, Wanna shoot some hoops?
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
Um... no. Not right now, I'm busy
writing something.
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
What, you take my advice and steal
braniac's homework?
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
No.
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
Well what are you writing then?
      
               
      
               
Bob walks toward Jason
      
               
      
               
Jason covers the book a bit
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
It's nothing... don't worry about
it.
      
               
      
               
Bob peering over Jason's shoulder with a weird disgusted
look on his face
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
Is that...poetry?
      
               
      
               
Jason slams the book shut
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
Maybe it is. Got a problem with
that?
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
Dude... you are so weird..you
pansy.
      
               
      
               
Jason stands up.
      
               


      
               
                       JASON
I am NOT a pansy and I'm
definately not weird.
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
Buddy, you write poetry.'Nuff
said.
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
      (yelling at Jason)
SO? Just because I write poetry
doesn't mean you have the right to
come busting in here and call me a
pansy. And so what if I WAS a
"pansy". Doesn't mean you can
label me so pathetically
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
Chill out. God you don't have to
freak on me. Man you've gotten
weird this year. First your
clothes, then the music. Now this
poetry crap?
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
I've gotten weird lately? Well at
least I'm not still an idiot like
you.
      
               
      
               
Bob steps toward him.
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
What did you say?
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
I said at least I'm not an idiot.
Atleast I CARE that everything in
this crap town is useless,
including you and the gang. NOT
everything is about varsity
football you know.
      
               
      
               
                       BOBBY
Man, you just crossed the line.
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
Good. I'm glad i did.
      
               
      
               
                       JASON
Don't think you can hang out with
us anymore, you FREAK. You're just
a pansy poet.
      
               
      
               



Bob exits. Jason has a smirk on his face.

I like it! OMG! This is so cool. We should work together. I'm an aspiring novelist. I want to publish a book. So... maybe we could help each other out?

That would actually be awesome!
I've been searching for someone to work with on this for such a very long time.
If you wanna give it a go, I'm definitely up for it!

Great! So... let's talk about the characters first? Your choice.

Alrighty, so Jason and Maria are the main focus in the story.
Maria is the typical "it" girl, the one who everyone wishes they could be.
Jason is the jock-turned-bad boy. He gets mixed in with the wrong crowd when he meets Jimmy, Maria's friend.
Jimmy's style is punk, he doesn't care what people think.
The other characters are Aryss and Ashlea. Ashlea is Jimmy's sister, Aryss is Jimmy's girlfriend. Or maybe its the other way aournd lol I gotta re-read it xD

haha XD uhm. do you have inspiration to form these characters? And are you one of them? Because me, when I write, I write the guy, a bit closely relative about me. You know, close to my characteristics.

mandeax In reply to sonofthecursed [2012-05-23 00:12:54 +0000 UTC]

I do lol, I actually want to remake them all using different names and characteristics. I always had problems when it came to the part xD
Maria was based off of myself back when I was in my rebel stages, So in a way her character is close to my heart. She's rebellious and does things her way.
I would like to expand on her a bit, making her into a more independent person than she already is.
Jason was modelled after this guy I liked at the time, so he can be totally remade if needed, I'm not so happy with how he turned out.
The other three can be recreated in whatever way needed, you can throw in a character of your choosing, i'm up for pretty much anything thrown at me =]

sonofthecursed In reply to mandeax [2012-05-23 00:15:24 +0000 UTC]

Is it okay with you if I change Jason? Like, the name and his characteristics? Or I can just throw myself in there as an unimportant character?
