Trey's Room
(Trey wakes up with the sun in his face)
Trey: *Sigh*
Bathroom
(Trey brushes his teeth and looks himself in the mirror)
Trey: Someday this will all be worth it.
(Gvon knocks on the bathroom door)
Trey: ...
Shaun's House
(Myaa parks outside of Shaun's house)
(Myaa beeps her horn)
(Shaun comes rushing out of his house)
(Shaun enters Myaa's car)
Myaa: Heh, good morning.
Shaun: Yes, yes it is.
Myaa: So, I'm assuming y'all got off to a real good start, huh?
Shaun: I mean, we're just friends. But something about him feels... Different.
Myaa: It might be a little too early to say that.
(Myaa drives away)
Shaun: Let's just hope nobody gets shot today.
Myaa: ... I still can't believe it.
Shaun: I mean, things like that don't just happen. Trying to pick fights on the first day of school? No telling what he started outside of school for somebody to do that and aim specifically for him. Only one bullet went off. Crazy, right?
Myaa: Yeah, it is. I just don't get it.
Shaun: Some people will never change. Some people will take being shot and decide "I should leave this life behind", but I'm sure he's gonna get out of the hospital even crazier than before. Some people just don't get the message until they're 6 feet under. Sad, but what can you do?
Sluggo's House
(Cici walks by the bathroom and hears the shower running)
Cici: Hmph!
(Cici walks in the bathroom)
Sluggo: Damn, good morning to you too. What, you gotta use the bathroom?
Cici: Ha, no.
