A lick away

He's mine

Skip to the next morning. Alex with bag's under his eyes walks up to Jeong

Jeo:    Yo, bro. 

Ale:    Please tell me...

Jeong hands Alex fifty bucks. Alex hugs Jeong

Ale:    I swear. I'll give it back. I promise

Jeo:    It's okay. Don't worry. Go, get your watch back

Ale:    After class. I need a second

They both walk towards class. The get in the room, Emilia and Jordan are sitting down already, Alex and Jeong sit down next to each other again. The bell goes

Dav:    Good morning. So, today we're doing the yearly group project again. You know how it works. The rules are the same in every year. However, normally you get to choose your own partners. But seniors, don't. I've got a list. No complaints. I won't switch anyone.

David grabs the paper

Dav:    Butler Nick and Green Jake. You're doing your project on ... the year 1700 the great writers of that year, find them read things about them, things they wrote and then make a presentation. You know the drill. Next. Alfarsi Mohamed and Kim Jeong, you will get, advertisement in today's day. Torres Alex and Alfarsi Basit, project on sexism throughout history. Read actual history books. No movies guys. It's not accurate. I only want true information. Next. Hanson Em....

Skip to lunch. Alex, Jordan, Jeong and Emilia are sitting together at a table eating lunch.

Ale:    I really, really don't

Jor:    Like why can't we just choose ourselves. 

Jeo:    probably because every year they end up with the same people doing the same topics

Ale:    I mean, yeah, but, still

Basit walks towards the group he shoves Alex asides and sits down

Bas:    Sup

Ale:    Um, hi?

Bas:    We're partners

Ale:    I know

Bas:    SO

Ale:    So?

Bas:    Today good?

Ale:    You wanna meet?

Bas:    How else we gonna do this shit

Ale:    I... um, okay. Yeah. Sure. Today is good

Bas:    Great. I'll wait after school

Basit gets back up and walks away, Nick watches from a distance, Jake is sitting next to him. He looks at Nick and follows his eye path

Jak:    What's going on there

Nic:    He's mine

Jak:    Yours?

Nic:    Yeah. Every bully knows that shit. Torres is mine. 

Jak:    Oh, right. And this guy gonna steal him?

Nic:    Don't know what his angle is yet. But he better watch out

Jak:    Why do you care? Extra people annoying your guy should be good

Nic:    No, no. You don't understand. I worked hard to get where I am with Torres. I barely have to do anything he gives me what I want. It's gold. He's mine

Jak:    AH, smart?

Nic:    Very, and rich

Jak:    Ohhh bonus. 

Nic:    Don't

Jak:    Oh, nah, I've been warned

Nic:    we need to keep an eye on that guy

Jak:    He looks ... like he could KO you

Nic:    Shut up.

Switch to Alex

Ale:    It's like three Nicks

Jeo:    Wrong. Nick would never do this project

Jor:    Yeah, how are he and the new guy even gonna do this?

Ale:    Probably force someone else to do it for them

Jeo:    You

Ale:    No. No. Jeong. Don't say that shit

Jeo:    Just watch and wait

Ale:    Wait and watch

Jeo:    No

Jor:    Yes

Jeo:    Emilia?

Emi:    I'm good

Emilia hugs Jordan

Jor:    She's with me

Emi:    I didn't say that babe. I just don't know

Jor:    Also good.

Jordan smiles and kisses her forehead

Jeo:    Aw, how lovely how you both respect each others wishes and shit. FUCK YOU

Alex laughs

Ale:    Don't act out your single anger on these two 

Jor:    Yeah

Switch to a bit later. Alex walks up to his locker. Nick is standing at his locker, which is located next to Alex's.
