ZHURI- (laughing) you are so wrong for that.
NEAL- she falls for it every time you would think she would know by now.

Zhuri laughs.
NEAL- so what costume did you pick for my super hero costume Halloween extravaganza tonight?
ZHURI- It's a surprise.
NEAL- (laughing) What? Come on tell me.
ZHURI- No you will see tonight.
Zhuri kisses him and then walks away.
Neal smiles and shakes his head.
Taylor starts walking down the hall way towards Neal but Kent grabs her arm and pulls her into a empty classroom.
TAYLOR-(smiling) what are you doing?
KENT- This.
Kent kisses her.
TAYLOR- are you seriously trying to distract me from Neal?
KENT-is it working?

KENT- cool with me.
Taylor laughs.
KENT- but no I just wanted to kiss you.
Taylor smiles.
KENT- what did Neal even do?
TAYLOR- put this ugly skeleton in my locker and scared me.
Kent laughs and Taylor hits him.
TAYLOR- (smiling) not funny! Anyway are you ready for the game tonight?
KENT- hell yes. It's all I've been thinking about.

INT. DRAMA CLUB ROOM - REHEARSAL- DAY
The drama club meets for rehearsal. Morgan and Zain sit at a table together going over the script.
MORGAN- listen when you say that like you have to really be into it. Phoebus is in love with Esmeralda and she just told him she's going to sacrifice herself for him. Though he's sad he admires her for it.
ZAIN- Yeah I get that but I thought I did the scene fine.
MORGAN- yes you were fine but we have to be better than fine. The passion has to be there you have to really grab me and look at me like I'm the the love of your life and you are about to lose me. We have to sell it.
Morgan gets up out her seat and grabs Zain.
MORGAN- let's go again.
ZAIN- Okay off you.
MORGAN- (acting) So let's say it while we have the chance.
ZAIN-(acting) I've known soldiers not half as brave as you.
MORGAN-(acting) we'll be able to watch from it together ... when all this is gone and the world's a better place.
Zain grabs her and comforts her.
MORGAN- now see that time was more believable.
ZAIN- (smiling) Thank you Director Alexander.
MORGAN- (laughing) sorry but this is just important to me. It's the first big acting thing I'm doing I need everything to be perfect.
ZAIN- so why are you not so hard on Quasimodo?
They both look over at SHAMAR sixteen and takes theater very seriously rehearsing.
MORGAN- because Shamar can do his parts in his sleep.
Zain laughs.
ZAIN- that is true.
MORGAN- so are you coming to the game tonight? It's a big one.
ZAIN- I'm not really into basketball.
MORGAN- (smirks) you could still come for the main show obviously.
ZAIN- and what would that be?
MORGAN- Me duh.
Zain laughs.
ZAIN- I know. I'll see what I can do.
