Play A Day
Post Secret: I'm only nice to you because I'm afraid you're going to shoot up the school.
Lights come up on GEEK and other students in the hallway. GEEK is trying to get to his class, staying near the walls, trying not to be seen. Two jock boys, BRAD and MATT take GEEK'S books and dump them onto the floor. BRAD and MATT laugh, and walk away. FELECIA steps out of the crowd to help GEEK pick up his books.
GEEK
Thank you Felecia.
FELECIA
Hey no problem. Have a good day alright?
GEEK
Yeah, you too.
GEEK and FELECIA walk in different directions, lights fade.
Lights come up on GEEK in the cafeteria eating lunch, he is eating alone, BRAD and MATT shove his tray onto the floor FELECIA enters carrying her tray and shares her lunch with GEEK, lights fade.
Lights come up on GEEK in math class. JOCK 1 and JOCK 2 are in the back row, throwing paper wads, and spit balls at GEEK, Lights fade.
Lights come up on GEEK in the parking lot at school, next to his car, his tires have been slashed. On the windshield is a crude note written in marker. He sits on the hood of his car, near tears. FELECIA enters humming, and trying to find her keys in her purse, she finds them, looks up and sees GEEK.
FELECIA
Hey, do you need a ride?
GEEK
[not looking up, embarrassed by his tears]
No, I'm alright.
FELECIA
It's no trouble, you live right on the way to my house, please let me give you a ride?
GEEK picks up his back pack and silently follows FELECIA
GEEK
Thank you....
Lights fade.
Lights come up on GEEK in his bedroom, circling faces in a year book, and putting exes over some others, there are more exes than circles, FELECIA'S face has a circle around it, lights fade.
Lights come up on FELECIA getting out of her car, GEEK is already out of his, getting his bag from the back seat. He sees FELECIA, FELECIA sees him and walks over to him.
FELECIA
Hey, how are you?
GEEK
[emotionless]
Fine.
FELECIA
You sure?
long pause
GEEK
Don't go to school today.
FELECIA
What?
GEEK
Don't go to school today.
FELECIA
Why?
GEEK
Just don't
GEEK exits hurriedly, FELECIA stands there a litt dumb founded, shakes it off, and takes out her bag and locks her car. She begins to walk towards the school when there is a loud pop, pop, pop, and screaming. Lights fade.
