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

Sofia

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

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

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

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
CUT TO

Joel
No way
Sofia
Why not?
Joel
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
Do what?
Joel
Say “I love you” to each other, it’s weird
Sofia
To love your friends?
Joel
Your friends that are boys that totally have a crush on you
