CUT TO


Frankie and Marie on Frankie’s bed

Marie is on Frankie’s chest.


Marie

Can I ask you something and you not get mad


Frankie

What’s wrong?


Marie

Promise?


Frankie

What?


Marie gets off Frankie’s chest


Marie 

Promise you won’t get mad


Frankie

Promise


Marie

You love me right?


Frankie

Yes Marie


Marie

Why didn’t you love me earlier?


Frankie

What?


Marie

Why didn’t you love me earlier? Like in eighth grade


Frankie

Because I was an idiot, I didn’t realize how amazing you we’re


Marie

Real answer


Frankie

Because we were such good friends, I didn’t want to ruin anything


Marie

Be honest, was part of it my size?


Frankie

A little


Marie

You dated Sofia, though, and we’re both fat

Frankie

You’re both not fat


Marie

Yes I am, and it’s okay that I am, why can’t you see that?


Frankie

What, what are you talking about?


Marie

Everytime we talk about my size or how I look, or you compliment me, It goes back to me being fat, you say babe you’re not fat or babe you don’t look fat in that, or babe you look so skinny today

Why can’t you say shit about my eyes or my smile


Frankie

I do say that!


Marie

No, no you don’t


Frankie

Marie, I’ve never been with a bigger girl


Marie

Okay?


Frankie

I don’t know what you want me to say


Marie

That’s it’s ok that I’m fat


Frankie

I’m not gonna say that, you’re not fat


Marie

Oh my god


Frankie

No girl wants to hear that!


Marie

No no no skinny girls don’t want to hear that

Fat girls just want to be I don’t know, accepted?


Frankie

What?


Marie

I just want to feel beautiful when I’m around you


Frankie

Do you wanna hear it more?


Marie

I wanna feel it more


Frankie

How, how do I do that?


Marie

I don’t know Frankie, I don’t know everything


Frankie

I’m trying Marie


Marie

I know, I know, it’s not you, it’s me, I’m in my head


Frankie

About me calling you not fat?


Marie

Promise you won’t get mad?


Frankie

Promise


Marie

You’re more experienced 


Frankie

What?


Marie

You’re my first boyfriend, I’m your?


Frankie

I’m not falling for this trap


Marie

Fourth, I’m your fourth girlfriend


Frankie

So?



Marie

So you know how to do this relationship stuff


Frankie

What relationship stuff?


Marie

Dates, kissing, more


Frankie

More?


Marie

You were my first kiss Frankie, my first makeout, I’m your, I don’t even know


Frankie

Why does that matter?


Marie

It matters to me because, I feel, weird, it’s weird


Frankie

There’s nothing I can do about that Marie


Marie

I know that’s the worst part, it’s just up to me to get over this, I know you can’t do anything about it but it doesn’t make it any less shitty, one day, I want to lose my virginity to you, but you won’t lose it to me, and that sucks


Frankie

I’m sorry


Marie

Don’t do that


Frankie

Do what?


Marie

Apologize for something you’re not sorry for


Frankie

Why?


Marie

It doesn’t make the apology genuine 


Frankie

I don’t know what you want me to say, I don’t like that you feel this way

Marie

I don’t like it either


Frankie

Look, I think you’re beautiful, and I don’t care about your experience level, Ok Marie? 


Frankie hugs Marie


Marie has a disappointed face


Marie

Thanks

Kinda weird, but I guess I’m a father, call me pops


Sofia

Joel

Yea, when I have real kids, I want them to call me pops


Sofia

Joel

What’s wrong with pops?

Sofia

Joel

It’s just a joke


Sofia

It’s a weird joke


Joel

Well it’s a me and Marie joke, like how you and Frankie joke around


Frankie

What is that supposed to mean?


Marie

It’s nothing


Joel

Well, I think it’s weird how close you and my girlfriend are


Sofia

Babe what the fuck


Joel

No, no we should talk about this


Frankie

I have a girlfriend Joel


Joel

Doesn’t look like it


Frankie sees how him and Marie are sitting


Rebecca

He’s not wrong, it is fucking weird


Sofia

I have to go to class, and I’m not entertaining this conversation,

You guys are the weird ones for turning something innocent into something weird

Bye guys

Bye baby


Sofia kisses Joel goodbye


Joel

Bye


Frankie

Yea I should go to


Joel

Yea, go run after my girlfriend, leave yours right here


Frankie

Frankie

Sofia


Sofia

They’re right


Frankie

What?


Sofia

Frankie, they’re right, we are weird


Frankie

What?


Sofia

What do you mean, what?


Frankie

Sofia, what are you talking about?


Sofia

Frankie, you don’t think we act too close for friends?

Frankie

We’re good friends, best friends, we have been friends for years, why do things have to change?


Sofia

Because we we're in love at one point, you can’t act like we weren’t

But I’m in love with someone else now and I want to keep it that way


Frankie looks stunned


Frankie

You loved me?


Sofia

Frankie-


Frankie

How did you know I loved you?


Sofia

Don’t do this


Frankie

Why have we never talked about it Sofia?


Sofia

Talk about what? There is nothing to talk about!


Frankie

No no you don’t get to run away from this conversation, stop running from me Sofia


Sofia

I can’t get hurt again Frankie, you’re my best friend


Frankie

You’re mine too, but I deserve a conversation


Sofia

I love you Frankie, I always have and I always will

But I can’t do this- I just can’t


Frankie

Yea, I know


Sofia

Let’s do this another time, I I- just can’t do this today



Frankie

Okay, but I’ll be waiting for this conversation Sofia


Sofia walks away and Frankie stays behind

Joel lets go of the hug and goes into the bathroom 


Sofia

Baby you know I don’t care 


Joel shouts from the bathroom


Joel

Sofia chuckles and goes into the bathroom


Sofia sits on the toilet and watches Joel brush his teeth


Joel looks down from the mirror, and looks at Sofia

Joel

Sofia

Nothing


Joel

Joel spits into the sink


Joel

Sofia wraps her arms around Joel and looks at herself in the mirror


Sofia looks sad


CUT TO


David and Sofia are in a car


Sofia is eating fast food and David is drinking a protein drink


David

I can’t believe you eat that junk, it’s fattening 


Sofia

You’re fat


David

I’m muscular 


Sofia

Nice word for fat


David laughs and hits Sofia on the arm


Sofia

How are things with Justine?


David

Goodish


Sofia

Goodish?


David

Her parents are so annoying


Sofia

What do you mean?


David

Her parents are like super christian


Sofia

Okay?


David

Like leave space for jesus christian



Sofia

Yikes!


David

I see her maybe twice a month and I can’t even breathe next to her when they’re around without apparently sinning, and burning in hell


Sofia

It can’t be that bad


David

It’s that bad 


Sofia

Oh shit


David

Yea


Sofia

What are you gonna do?


David

I don’t know, I love her, we have been together for two years


Sofia

Yea but you want to be happy


David

Yea but throwing away these 2 years seems stupid for what? To kiss her more? 

I think I can wait


Sofia

Wait for what?


David

She’s gonna move out eventually


Sofia

Move out? David that’s not for another four years


David

So?


Sofia

You’re crazy


David

(Sarcastically)

Yea, I’m crazy


Sofia chuckles


Sofia

What does that mean?


David

You’re one to talk, Joel is toxic as fuck


Sofia

You just say that because you don’t like him


David

Does anyone?


Sofia

Yes, Gaby


David

Gaby likes everyone


Sofia

You don’t know her like I do clearly


David

Joel is an asshole, you know it too


Sofia

Not when we’re alone, it’s different


David

You’re delusional


Sofia

David you fall in love with every girlfriend you’ve had, you act like you’re gonna marry them after two weeks of dating, you’re just as delusional as me


David

(Gets a little more serious)

I really did love all of them


Sofia

(Realizes she hit a soft spot)

David


David

It’s true


Sofia changes conversation quickly


Sofia

Right, well Joel doesn’t like you either so


David pretends to be shocked


David

What? No! What am I gonna do without his approval!


Sofia laughs


Sofia

I really do wish you guys liked each other, you guys both mean a lot to me


David

I’m your boy best friend, my approval of him matters more than his approval of me


Sofia

They matter equally


David laughs

David

Ha! Funny


Sofia

I mean it!


David

Sofia you have never trusted your own gut, you have never formed your own opinion


Sofia

David!


David

I’m just being honest hoe


Sofia

I know, I know I’ll work on that


David

With many other things


Sofia

Fuck you


David

Like maybe getting a different boyfriend that’s anyone else but Joel?


Sofia

David!


David

Just an idea

Sofia

It’s crazy you guys talk so much shit behind each other's back to me but yet when you guys hangout you guys look like best friends, you guys are crazy


David

Well we know how to behave in public, we don’t all show our emotions on our faces like you


Sofia

What do you mean?


David

Sofia, you cannot hide your emotions if you’re life depended on it

Like if you are sad or annoyed everyone is gonna know it


Sofia

Well I’m not fake


David

It’s not about being fake it’s about just keeping the peace


Sofia

You and Joel should hang out without me


David

That’s never going to happen


Sofia

David!


David

Sofia you are out of your fucking mind


Sofia

It would be nice


David

Never going to happen


Sofia looks annoyed

Babe we just don’t get along. Why can’t you accept that?


Sofia

Because I love you both a lot



Joel stops at his locker


Joel

That’s still so weird you guys do that


Sofia
