INT:

HIGH SCHOOL.

 

JANET, who has black wavy hair that's long is wearing a long sleeve hoodie and blue jeans. She's leaning up against a tree. Her light skin black, mix breed girlfriend, LURAN, walks up to her. Luran is wearing a mini skirt and a white blouse. A red tie hangs from her neck. She hands Janet a lunch tray. Janet takes the tray and sits it down in front of her. Luran sits down next to her and kisses her on the cheek.

 

LURAN

Hey? How are you?

 

JANET

Good...I guess.

 

Luran doesn't say anything for a while.

 

LURAN

So...how are your arms?

 

JANET

What about them?

 

LURAN

(Sigh.) Are they healing?

 

JANET

Yes, they are.

 

LURAN

Let me see.

 

JANET

No!

 

Luran grabs at Janet's arm, but Janet snatches her arm away from Luran.

 

LURAN

Janet...

 

JANET

What, I said no.

 

LURAN

You're still doing it,

aren't you?

 

Janet is quiet.

 

LURAN

Why are you still hurting

yourself like this?

 

JANET

(Whisper.) Because I can.

 

Luran shakes her head, and brushes back Janet's hair from her eyes.

 

LURAN

You said you would stop.

 

JANET

I tried but I can't.

 

LURAN

Easy for you to say-

 

One of Luran's friends, YOLAN-LEE, waves to her.

 

YOLAN-LEE

Hey, Luran, come over here

and eat with us. We barely

get to see you.

 

Luran looks up, and over at the girls who are about to sit at a table. Theres about three of them(YOLAN-LEE, TIGRESS, CAINON). Luran looks at Janet.

 

JANET

Go on, join them. I don't

care.

 

LURAN

Yes, you do. You do

and as a result you

hurt yourself. (Grab

her arm.)

 

Janet eases back, hurt.

 

JANET

OW! That hurts!

 

Luran pulls up the sleeve of Janet's long sleeve hooded sweater. Janet tries to fight back but loses against Luran.

There are cut marks on Janet's arm.

 

YOLAN-LEE
Luran, hurry up!

 

Luran

I am, Yolan-Lee.

(Put her arm down.)

We need to talk.

 

JANET

(Snatch arm away.)

We could talk now

but you would rather eat

with your friends.

 

Luran just looks at Janet. She gets up and walks over to her friends; she sits down at their table.

The school bell has rung for the day; the students are coming out of the school and going home. Luran and Janet EXIT from the front entrance hand and hand.

JANET

Sorry for being such

a cunt today.

 

LURAN

It's okay...

 

JANET

I really am trying to

stop, but its like a

drug.

 

LURAN

I know; you just-

 

JANET

...Need friends, that's all.

 

LURAN

You have friends...me.

I'm a friend.

 

JANET

You know what I mean-

 

LURAN

No.

 

Janet sighs.

 

LURAN

No...

 

JANET

Listen...I have to get

going. I have to meet

up with my father down

at the military base.

 

LURAN

Again?

 

Janet takes out her keys from her back pack to open the front door.

 

JANET

Yes, again. He wants to

show me the new project

he and some of the soldiers

have been working on.

 

LURAN

You mean he's been working

on the soldiers to test out

his new project.

 

JANET

Luran, you know that's not

the case.

 

Luran rolls her eyes. Janet walks inside the house, but gives Luran one last kiss on the lips.

 

JANET

Bye, I'll call you later.

 

Luran nods her head then EXITS.
