Narrator: We often love to celebrate with those close to us. When a neighbor’s child wins an award, when our best friend gets a promotion, when a dream comes true, or when a friend gets married. Yes, celebrations are a part of life and some say it is better to be happy and celebrate others successes because others would do the same for us. And that’s exactly what the teens of Sunset Davis Academy were doing at their teacher’s wedding.

Kimberly: Yes…and I heard that she even left him a note saying that it’s over!

[Girls Laughter]

Bella: How naïve of him. One would think he would see the signs before it happened. You know…

Georgette: ...well it isn’t always so obvious. I mean I am sure he didn’t expect to be dumped on his birthday.

Keira: And neither did Barack believe he would be President.

[Girl’s Laughter]

Narrator: Meet “The girls!” At Sunset they are considered to be the “populars,” the girl every other girl wanted to be and who guys wanted to be with. They were a closely knit bunch, their friendship stemming from since they were in elementary school.

Kimberly: And oh my God, did you hear that she was also with…Shawn!

Keira: He was with everyone. You know that…

Bella: Didn’t he also try to get with…with Drew too?[ she mentions awkwardly]

Georgette: Bella…c’mon not here.

Keira: Yeah, please no.

Narrator: Yes, I forgot to mention, the original “Girls” were once five. Meet the fifth. I am Drew Moore, the part of the clique that everyone else hated. It was my plan to be at this wedding, but unfortunate events took that privilege away from me. What these girls have been hiding, why they choose not to discuss this Drew, is because amongst the four, they are hiding a secret…a secret that everyone knows and has become the school’s secret. A trigger fearful term now labeled “Sunset Secrets!”

In order for you to fully understand this, we must go back three years, when we were arriving at school for the first time. A time when we were all celebrating the end of summer but the beginning of new possibilities of what can happen in a new school and new year. You see, we all came from the same middle school, and this each gave us confidence we knew at least ONE person there.

[The girls all stepping out of their cars to see each other in the school parking lot.]

[Loud screams from the girls as they realize that they had all arrived together, almost as if they were seeing each other for the first time.]

Keira: Sisters! [she screams]



Bella: Oh my God, It felt like it would never happen. We are in High School. [She wraps her hands around Kimberly]

Kimberly: To say very little, I missed you guys so much. Oh my God, did you notice the shoes? [She extends her leg to the center of the circle so that her sparkling pink heels could clearly be seen.]

Drew: Kimberly…look! [She too extends her leg to reveal that the two were wearing the same shoes!]

Georgette: No way! Shut up!

Bella: Gorgeous ladies.

[Kimberly offered a small smile, but deep down inside she felt the attention was stolen away from her, again by Drew.]

Drew: Summer updates necessary…shall we walk and talk?

Kimberly: Yeah, yeah, why not?[she said a bit peeved]

[Drew shot a look at Bella, who looked at Georgette, who looked back at Drew. It was here the girls realized it was going to be a long day.]

[In class]

Bella: Look, over there. Table two, middle.[she whispers to Keira.]

Keira: No way, he’s mine!

Bella: Wait?! Aren’t you still with Shawn?

Keira: That’s what I wanted to say. We broke up…it’s been a month now.

Bella: No way, are you serious?

Teacher: And that’s how we can see that all gases want a noble configuration! [He said as he stuck his head right between Keira and Bella]

Keira & Bella: Sorry [they said in unison]

[At Lunch]

[“The Girls” are sitting together as usual, and their talking and laughter suddenly ceased when someone entered.]

Bella: It’s him again…you know, the guy from Chemistry…

Drew: You mean the new guy?

Keira & Bella: Yes!

Kimberly: I think he’s coming over.

Keira: How do I look?

[Drew rolled her eyes]

Drew: Wait, aren’t you with Shawn.

Bella: No! They broke up!

Georgette: He’s coming…smiles girls.

[They all smile, except Drew who had taken a sloppy bite from her burger.]

New Guy: Is this seat taken? [He asks as he was standing behind the seat next to Georgette.]

Keira & Bella: No!

New Guy: Great. I’m Gevon or, the New Guy!

[Girls laugh softly.]

[Georgette takes on the task of introducing everyone, and as each name is called, they offer a small wave and a ‘hello’]

Bella: So what school are you coming from?

Keira: And why did you move?

Bella: Do you like it here?

[The barrage of questions almost came in unison]

[Gevon offered a smile, putting down the burger he was about to bite to avail himself to their questions. It was here that he realized, they already were “the populars” in the school.]

Gevon: Well I came from out of state. Use to live in Washington with my mom, until she died. And so now I live here with my father. And yes, the school seems welcoming.

[Drew, who was once busy with wiping away stains from her shirt, now stared up at Gevon, her eyes locked into his as if he was talking to her alone.]

Kimberly: That’s…that’s very… [she paused for a moment as she recognized that Drew & Gevon were staring into each other’s eyes.]…very good…Drew!

Drew: What? Huh? Yes. Very good.[She looked down quickly]

Keira: That’s very sad, I mean going through death and all.

Bella: Yes, it must be. I am so sorry.

Gevon: No no. I am over it now. Don’t worry.

Keira: Are you? Good…very good.

Georgette: Ugh, ladies…

Bella & Keira: What?

Kimberly: Gevon, they don’t usually act this way.

Georgette: Only when they see something they like. [She joked]

Gevon: Well…you know I…

Bella: Are you single?

[All of the girls look up at him]

Gevon: Yes, yes in fact I am. [He said as he stared up at Drew]

[Drew shot a look back at him and a small smile was hidden behind Kimberly’s paper that she had held up asking…”Where is the garbage?”]

Drew: Right over there…Kimberly

Kimberly: Well I didn’t see it…Drew

Drew: Well next time look…Kimberly

Georgette: Ah…guys…I mean ladies…

[Gevon chewing slowly had realized the tension he was causing.]

Gevon: Maybe I should…should go…

All girls: No! Please sit!

Gevon: Alright…alright[He said with a chuckle, shyly]

Drew: But I must go…I’m sorry

[She walks off quickly, leaving the rest of her lunch sitting on the table. This action had triggered chatter at a nearby table and the girls all began to whisper amongst themselves wondering what went wrong.]

[Gevon watched as she walked away, he had began to bite onto his bottom lip unintentionally. He liked her, and he didn’t even know her.]

[Afterschool…Kimberly’s House]

Kimberly: You were all over him!

Keira: Girl…you know. I love good looking men.

[Kimberly laughs]

Kimberly: But, I want to…I…whatever happened between you and Shawn…I mean, the real story.

Keira: Well…[she begins shyly]..over the summer, I went through his phone and stuff. Because you remember I told you we were going over in New York together. But, anyway, before we went, he was over at my house and his phone rung and because he was in the other room I answered. Well, it was then that I heard this other female’s voice asking why he didn’t come over and that she loves him and everything. So yeah, It was nasty because we ended up fighting and everything.

Kimberly: Oh, Keira, I am sorry. [She hugs her]

Keira: No, it’s cool now. I am fine. [She lies]

Kimberly: I never really liked him for you anyway! [She tries to joke]

Keira: Yeah, thanks.

[Meanwhile, simultaneously at Drew’s House]

Georgette: I know when something is wrong and I could’ve easily sensed it today.

Drew: What are you talking about again George? You are always coming up with these crazy stories.

[At Kimberly’s House]

Kimberly: I am starting to think Drew doesn’t like me.

Keira: Not this again

[Drew’s House]

Georgette: You know what I mean, between you and Kimberly…again

Drew: There’s nothing…I mean…no, there’s nothing.

[At Kimberly’s House]

Kimberly: No…I’m serious…I noticed the way that she…oh nevermind. Nothing. There’s nothing.

Keira: Whatever you say…I’m really liking this Gevon…

[Drew’s House]

Georgette: Are you sure? Well then, what’s up with you and Gevon?

[Drew is silent, looking down on her pillow as she is sitting in her bed]

Drew: Well, I don’t know. What can there be? I barely know him and you know I really don’t fall for anyone easily…

Georgette: You have said that before

Drew: But, this time I’m more serious about it.

Georgette: But you going after him…nothing’s wrong with that.

Drew: Yes, but, but I don’t know. I can tell that Keira and Bella are into him now and I really don’t want to…

Georgette: …to fall for someone you obviously like already?

[she cuts her off]

Drew: I don’t believe in that love at first site bull…I just don’t. People who believe in that is just delusional into believing that we are puzzle pieces that can all fit together. But truth is, we’re not. We are all different pieces for different puzzles. And none of us can fully complete a puzzle as quickly as a lunch time meeting! [she snapped]

Georgette:…Alright already! Good….Good philosophy. [She said skeptically]

[At Kimberly’s House]

Keira: I mean, Gevon is like totally cute you know? I can see him making Shawn jealous totally!

Kimberly: What do you mean?

Keira: You know what they say, that if you like someone get with someone else just to make the someone you like jealous because you like them

Kimberly: So in other words, you just want to use him?

Keira: Well, not use…more like borrow

Kimberly: Oh Keira…You just cant pick up a guy and hurt him that way. I mean, I haven’t had a boyfriend because I didn’t see anyone perfect for me yet. And you know, I think Gevon is cute…very cute. But that’s besides the point…just don’t go there hurting him…okay?

Keira: Oh my God Kim’ you like him, don’t you?

Kimberly: What?....No…[more unsure than certain]

Keira: You so do…oh my God…You can have him…okay? You can…

Kimberly: Keira! Please…stop! [she blushes]

[Bella phone rings]

Bella: Hello?

Kimberly & Keira: Hey Bel’

Bella: Hey girls. How’s it going? I was suppose to come over there today but…Wait, I have another call.

[She switches over]

Bella: Hello?

Drew & Georgette: Hey Bella!

Bella: Hey Girls! How’s it going? Wait, I have Kimberly and Keira on the next line…I’ll add them…

Drew: NO!

[she said thinking loudly]

Bella: Ok…I mean, ok…if that’s what you want…

Narrator[Drew]: It was with that phone call where it all began.


The next day there was no parking lot gathering, no lunch date or phone calls. The small rivalry between Kimberly and Drew had grown enough to separate the girls into two and each girl had to choose for themselves.

[10:13pm. Kimberly’s Car]

[Kimberly hears her cell phone ring and so she bends down to pick it [up]

Kimberly: Hello?

Keira: Oh my God Kim’! You are not going to believe what I just heard?

Kimberly: I’m driving…can this wait?

Keira: No! Did you hear that…that Gevon and Drew…apparently are going out?

Kimberly: What? Who said so…who said…

[The distraction of the phone call was too much. As Kimberly was speeding to reach home before her parents’ curfew, and the shocking news that one of her best friends was apparently going out with her crush, Kimberly hit an object that went flying over her car.]

Kimberly: Oh my God…Keira…

[The phone drops as she halted the car immediately. She opened the door and staring into her rearview mirror, she was afraid to come out of the car on the empty highway.]

[She eventually did. Running out of the car and onto the street she was now towering over what she had hit]

Kimberly: Oh my God…[her hands was on her chest, her heart beating quickly and sweat and tears streaming down her face]


Narrator: Yes, Girls love to celebrate. They celebrate each other’s successes. They celebrate when a girlfriend gets a new boyfriend. They celebrate when they buy something new. When a sister gets a promotion, when a prize is won. But what happens when their celebrations cause a rift in the overall clique of a group?

Operator: 911 Emergency?

Kimberly: Yes, I need an ambulance?[panicking]




Narrator: It can cause a celebration to end prematurely and someone can end up getting hurt…

Producer's Notes: Hey! Thanks for reading. I hope that the over 24hours of hard work that was put into this script was seen. This includes the image making, the posting, the editing, and thinking. It really was a lot of work.
And so, I would really feel somewhat disappointed if you didn't leave a comment or tell me what you think would happen in next week's episode!
Thanks a lot and I look forward to revealing more secrets in episode two!

[Max Pryce]

Great job!!!

[alexander]

AWESOME JOB! (this should so be a real show btw.)

[Omnipotent]

This was well done. Congratulations it was even more than I expected.

[Silver Simmons Pryce]

Feels like gossip girl which i totally dig but inb my mind, i hear firrara's voice!

[jacen]

Nah, more like a Desperate Housewives kinda thing, just different setting.

[host]

Aww thank you guys for your comments. It is really encouraging and makes me want to continue. I wont comment of the show itself and what I was thinking as I wrote as I dont want to spoil it for how you are seeing things. Since it is actual text, it provides for such a diversity of opinion and outlooks which cannot normally be seen on a actual show.

Hope to satisfy you with Episode two which I promise will reveal some very interesting secrets about some characters that may make you change your mind on who's the real villain here.

[Keriann Kodish]

Wow. It was really a joy to read this. I cannot wait for the next episode and to see what happened with that accident that happened.
