see you two down here for fighting in the halls for the third time I promise
the both of you that youll be punished with a two week in school
suspension! Do you two understand?

Shyla: Yes Mr.Golden.

Ryan: Yep, can we leave now?

Mr.Golden: No! You both are going to sit here for the rest of the school day
and think about what you have done! I am also contacting your parents and
telling them about how you yet again have ignored the rules of the school.

Shyla: *Mumbles underneath her breath* Ughhh this is all your fault.

Ryan: What?! No, no, no, anything but that!

Mr.Golden: Maybe next time youll both learn to behave yourselves.

 [School ends and Ryan goes home.]

Cole: What have you done this time to get into trouble?

Ryan: I've done nothing wrong, Shyla came out of nowhere and started
accusing me of spreading lies, the she began to beat me up.

Cole: Oh that girl, always starting stuff.

Maddie: Where is my son in all of this?

Ryan: Owen? He skipped school to clear his head, I think that there's
something bothering him.

Cole: I agree, he doesn't seem to be doing too well.

Ryan: Do you guys have any idea why there's a stick up his butt?

Cole: No idea.

Ryan: Has anyone done anything to see what's going on?

Cole: I've tried, but he doesn't want to talk.

[Owen walks through the front door.]

Ryan: Oh here he comes, leave this to me i'll find out.

[Cole and Maddie start heading to the door.]

Cole: Your mother and I are going out we will be back in a bit, see you
then.
Owen: Okay.

Ryan: Hey dude wanna go downstairs and play some COD on the
playstation?

Owen: I guess so, I got nothing else to do.

[Owen and Ryan head downstairs both sitting in a bean bag chair.]

Ryan: Dude I can't help but notice that something seems to be bothering
you?

Owen: Oh have you?

Ryan: Yeah, whats going on?

Owen: Well you see. There's this smoking hot girl that i'm into and just
between me and you I would totally tap that, if you know what I mean.

Ryan: Really man, what does she look like?

[Owen pulls his phone out of his pocket and shows Ryan a picture.]

Ryan: Shoot man! She's smoking, whats her name?

Owen: I know right and her name is Olivia, but I know she not into me man.

Ryan: How do you know?

Owen: I know because she said shes into chicks too.

Ryan: Oh i'm sorry man.

Owen: It's okay, there's nothing you or I can do so let's just play COD and
talk about this later.

Shyla: Ryan said that last night when you were with him, you guys had sex.

guy named Ryan?

Colby: Yes what about it?

Jasmine: Well today at school, Shyla heard him telling Owen that we had
sex last night but we didn't I swear and she went all rampage on him and
that's why she was in the office today.

Everett: We believe you honey, why would he do that?

[Everett whispers to Colby.]

Everett: See that's why we shouldn't have let her go and instead have
introduced her to Nathan.
Colby: Not now honey.

Jasmine: I don't know.

Everett: You need to get your mind off it, how about we throw a Halloween
party and we will invite a friend of mines son?

Colby: Do you really think thats a good idea?

her.

opportunity for you guys to meet new people.

Jasmine: Yea, do that! Lets just pray he didn't read it.

Mackenzies have crashed the party!

Jasmine: What are you serious???

Shyla: Do you think Id be joking about something like this?

Jasmine OMG! I need to go to the bathroom, this is too much dude.

Shyla: Okay just keep an eye out. Alright?

Jasmine: Got it.

[Jasmine leaves to the washroom to clear her mind.]

Owen: I can't believe I treated my own cuz in such a horrid way. Whats
wrong with me? *Whispers to himself* Can I get seven tequila shots?

Bartender: Commin right up my man.

[Owen is now drunk out of his mind.]

Jake: Yo man, you don't look to good.

Owen: Yeah well I don't feel too good either buddy.

Jake: Id take it thats why youre drinking so much in the first place?

Owen: Yeah.

Jake: You should go to the washroom and cool down man.

Owen: Youre probably right, thanks dude.

Jake: No problem.

[Owen leaves to the restroom.]

Act 2, Scene 1

[Jasmine goes to leave the bathroom as Owen goes to reach for the
doorknob.]

Jasmine: Oh jeez, didn't see you there.

Owen: Hey baby, why don't you get back in there so you can get all up in
my grill.

Jasmine: How about no.

Owen: Oh come on, don't kick a guy when he's down.

Jasmine: You seem like you've had a few to many. How many drinks have
you had?

Owen: I dont think ive had enough!

Jasmine: Why do you say that?

Owen: I can't get things off of my mind.

Jasmine: Do you wanna go somewhere quiet and talk? Or just to get away
from things? I don't know about you but I could use a brake.

Owen: Yeah, a quiet place sounds good right about now.

Jasmine: Okay follow me.

[Jasmine helps Owen down the hall to her room]

Owen: Thanks, it's a little hard to walk.

Jasmine: No problem,let's sit down here.

[Jasmine and Owen sit down in front of her bed on the floor.]

Owen: This is better, now I can actually think.

Jasmine: Think about what?

Owen: Oh I just don't know what to do with this problem I have.

Jasmine: What's the problem?

Owen: Oh I don't want to bore you with my problems.

Jasmine: No it's okay I could use a distraction right now.

Owen: Well if you don't mind.

Jasmine: Not at all, hit me with it.

Owen: Well see there's this girl and I think that she could be the one but..

Jasmine: But what?

Owen: She's into other girls.

Jasmine: Oh

Owen: Yeah that's why I came to this party, my friend thought that I could
meet new people and forget about her.

Jasmine: Oh I see, well i'm guessing that hasn't worked out too well.

Owen: Not really haha, so far this is the best part about the party.

Jasmine: I know, I feel you.

Owen: Why are you up here with me and not down there partying it up?

Jasmine: Not really feeling the whole party thing.

Owen: Whys that?

Jasmine: Oh, my dad tried to set me up with this dude that I have no
interest in being with, and not to mention he's twenty-two
Own: How old are you?

Jasmine: seventeen

Owen: I mean i'm no law expert or anything but isn't that illegal?

Jasmine: Haha, i'm pretty sure it is.

[Owen moves closer to Jasmine.]

Owen: Hey, I just realized I never got your name.

Jasmine: Oh yeah, it is hard to tell who we are in these costumes.

Owen: Yeah, so what is your name?

Jasmine: Why do you wanna know my name? Would your thoughts on me

change if you knew who I was or what family I belong to?

Owen: Jeez slow down there, I just asked what your name was.

Jasmine: I'm sorry, people just tend to be my friend because of my family

and I just want to get a friend that likes me for me and not because of my
family.

Owen: I understand.

Jasmine: I just wish I could lay down haha.

[Owen reaches up and grabs a pillow and places it on his lap.]

Owen: Here lay your head down.

Jasmine: Oh thanks haha.

Owen: Its the least I could do.

Jasmine: Wanna play questions?

Owen: Sure haha, ladies first.

Jasmine: I swear being a girl sucks, you have to go first for everything.

Owen: Haha just go.

Jasmine: Ugh fine haha. Umm If you could only be any animal, what
would you be?

Owen: Oh that's easy, i'd be a panda.

Jasmine: Oh that's great! Haha.

[Owen and Jasmine continue to ask each other question for what seems to
be hours and with every question they little by little start to develop feelings
for eachother.]

Owen: Hey, do you know the time?

[Jasmine pulls out her phone.]

Jasmine: Oh holy it's twelve thirty!

Owen: Man I have to be home soon.

Jasmine: Oh it was just getting good.

Owen: Yeah haha, I have one final question for you.

Jasmine: What's the question?

Owen: From the information you just have learned about me from asking
questions.

Jasmine: Yes yes, come on?

Owen: Would you ever go out with me?

Jasmine: Well I mean I would like to get to know you more, but from tonight
I haven't heard a reason why I shouldn't.

Owen: Like my name?

Jasmine: Well that would be a good start haha.

Owen: My name is Owen and...

[Owen begins to take off the top part of his costume.]

Owen: This is my face.

[Jasmine shot back, away from Owen.]

Jasmine: Oh no this is not good.

Owen: Whats wrong??

[Jasmine begins to take off her costume.]

Jasmine: Im Jasmine.
Owen: Ohhhh.Well then it would probably be bad if I did this.

[Owen moves closer and closer to Jasmine, so close that their faces are
just inches apart. Then finally, he kisses Jasmine and Jasmine kisses
back.]
