Lara Blake

LOVELAND HIGH SCHOOL:
7:05 AM

Scene:
Maxim Spruill pulls his silver 2001 Excursion into the parking lot at Loveland High. He stops it and the Sum 41 that was playing is now silent. The driver's side door opens and Maxim Spruill steps out looking scrumptious, as usual. He's wearing dirty denim fly weight jeans, a black ribbed long sleeved sweater, black boots, his blonde hair down, a black leather jacket and sunglasses on top of his head. His younger brother, Nero, steps out of the passenger's side door. Lyza gets out of the back and closes her door. Maxim starts walking into the school followed by Lyza and Nero.

Lyza: Thanks for the ride, Hottie Hott Hot. [Max looks at Lyza.]

Maxim: Yeah, no problem, kid.

Nero: Thanks, Bro.

Maxim: Yeah, no problem...

Lyza: Nero, I'll race you to Chemistry.

Nero: Ok...Go! [They start walking side by side.]

Lyza: Look! I'm winning! [Maxim laughs at them and walks to his locker and opens it. When he closes it, Lara Blake is standing there, putting in her combination. She's wearing a black sheer longsleeved shirt that curls at the bottom over a black tanktop, baggy olive green cargo pants, black VANS, her hair in down, lipgloss and a black TIMEX watch. Maxim smiles at her.]

Maxim: Morning.

Lara: Hey. [She goes to open her locker but it won't open.] Wanna help?

Maxim: I don't know why you just don't wait for me to do it every morning. [She grins as he opens her locker.]

Lara: Thank you.

Maxim: Your welcome. [She starts putting her stuff away.] Did you do the Physics homework?

Lara: Yeah. [She hands him her binder, before grabbing her Physics book and shutting her locker.] Need it?

Maxim: The answers to thirteen and fourteen. [He finishes putting his stuff away as she gets out their homework. He shuts his locker and she hands him the paper.] Thank you.

Lara: It's a return favor for opening my locker everyday. [They sit down on the floor in front of their lockers. He gets out his own homework and starts copying down the answers.]

Maxim: So what's up?

Lara: The ceiling.

Maxim: Haha. You're funny...[He finishes and starts to hand her her paper back when his friends, Chris and Timmy walk past them and look down at Maxim.]

Chris: Yo, Max. You wanna go to the cafeteria and get breakfast with us, bro?

Maxim: I'm kinda in the middle of something...

Timmy: You can bring Blondie with you. We don't curr. [Daisee starts walking down the hall.]

Lara: No, that's ok...Daisee! Wait! [She gets up and walks after Daisee. Maxim stands up and looks at his friends.]

Chris: That's just Timmy talkin'.

Maxim: He does a lot of that.

Timmy: Can't help it.

Chris: Why you staring at that girl for, Max? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Maxim: Shut up, Bro.

Timmy: You like that chick? Ha!

Maxim: What?

Timmy: Just never thought a chick like that would be your type.

Maxim: Why not?

Timmy: She don't put out...

Chris: Oh-wee!

[Scene: Lara catches up to Daisee and spins her around. She smiles at Lara who grins back then looks down at her binder.]

Lara: Crap!

Daisee: What?

Lara: Max has my homework.

Daisee: Then go get it.

Lara: I'll get it back from him before class starts.

Daisee: Ok. [They fall into step.] You ok? You look kinda...

Lara: Kinda what? Is my hair...nevermind, I don't care. [She sighs.]

Daisee: Do you like Max?

Lara: No.

Daisee: All right. You working tonight?

LOVELAND HIGH SCHOOL:

Scene:
Maxim is sitting in his seat in the back of the Physics class. He's taken off his jacket and his pecks are very nicely accuentated by his sweater. Lara walks into the class room and, obviously, notices, because her eyes damn near pop out of the sockets. She stumbles back to his desk. He looks up at her and grins. She looks down at him and tries to keep the hot flashes to a minimum. She smiles at him sweetly.

Lara: You still have my homework.

Maxim: I know...I'm sorry...[He hands it to her.]

Lara: Thank you.

Maxim: No problem. [She walks to her desk and sits down. Maxim walks over to her desk and sits on it. She looks up at him and he looks down at her.]

Lara: Yes?

Maxim: I was wondering if you could help me in German. I'm really bombing.

Lara: When?

Maxim: There's a test tomorrow, so tonight would be great.

Lara: Ah...there is a slight problem with that.

Maxim: Yes?

Lara: I've gotta work tonight.

Maxim: How long?

Lara: Three until six.

Maxim: That's ok. [He smiles.] I'll drive over at six and pick you up. [She opens her mouth and tries to speak, nothing comes out. He smiles wider and she breathes out.]

Lara: Ok. Cool.

Maxim: And we can pick up McDonald's. Can't study when your hungry. [Lara laughs.]

Lara: All right. [Their teacher walks in.]

Maxim: I'll see you later then.

Lara: Sure.

MAXIM'S HOUSE:

2:45PM

Scene:
Maxim's front door opens and he and his brother walk in and close it behind them. Nero throws his stuff down on the floor and runs downstairs to his bedroom and you can hear the door slam. Maxim looks at his watch and walks slowly upstairs to his room and closes the door. He opens the door to his bathroom and walks in. After a few seconds, you can hear his shower start to run.

GADZOOKS:
6:01 PM

Scene:
Lara's sitting on the counter folding shirts. She's changed into a white baby tee with a black ankh printed on it, black parachute flares with white bungee cords and details, a black tattoo necklace, black tattoo armband, black and white rubber bracelets, lipgloss, and black and white VANS. Her boss Andrew walks over.

Andrew: Late?

Lara: Huh?

Andrew: Who is he? What is he? Lara...why is he late?

Lara: Andrew...your not my dad.

Andrew: No, but your brother's my best friend.

Lara: And Sean knows I can take care of myself. [Maxim walks in. He's changed into loose black leather pants, a white ribbed long sleeved sweater, his leather jacket, black boots and his hair back in a ponytail. He looks at Lara and smiles. He walks over to her.]

Maxim: Lara, I'm so sorry that I'm late.

Lara: Don't worry about it. [She reaches under the counter and grabs her messenger bag and puts it around her neck, crossing her chest.]

Maxim: You ready to go?

Lara: Yeah...Bye, Andrew.

Andrew: Uh-huh...[Maxim and Lara walk out of Gadzooks and the mall. The get into his Excursion and drive off.]

MAXIM'S EXCURSION:
6:15PM

Scene:
Maxim pulls out of the McDonald's parking lot and turns down the Sum 41 that's playing. Lara's putting straws in their Cokes. He looks at her and grins.

Lara: What? I'm trying to be helpful. [She hands him his Coke.]

Maxim: And you are very helpful. Thank you. [He sips it.]

Lara: If my mom tries to...be my mom, I'm sorry.

Maxim: Why? I bet she's sweet.

Lara: After she's through with question and answer time, you can reverse that answer.

Maxim: You love her.

Lara: Because it'd be illegal not to.

Maxim: Not illegal just...dysfunctonal.

Lara: Whatever.

LARA'S HOUSE:

6:45PM

Scene:
Lara leads Maxim into her house. Her parents are sitting in the den watching the news. Her mother looks up and Lara bites her lip. Maxim grins at her.

Lara: You shut up. [She grabs his hand and drags him into the living room.] Mom, Dad, this is Maxim. Max, my mom and my dad. Everyone introduced, ok? Yeah, great! [She turns to walk out.]

Maxim: Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Blake.

Mr. Blake: Hello, Maxim. It's nice to meet you.

Mrs. Blake: Lara said you were having trouble in German. It's such a lovely language.

Maxim: That's why I asked her to help me. I think it's a great language.

Mrs. Blake: Judging by my daughters face you two have some studying to do. I'll leave you alone.

Lara: Thanks, mom.

Mr. Blake: If you need anything just ask.

Maxim: Nice meeting you.

Lara: Bye. [She drags Maxim up the steps before her parents can say anything. They look at each other and go back to the news.]

Maxim: Your parents are nice...[Lara drags him into her room and slams the door.]

Lara: Funny...[He sits at her desk and she turns on her light.]

Maxim: I thought so. [He laughs at her as she pulls out her German book.] Damn...I forgot my book. [She looks at him.]

Lara: That's ok...We can...[He walks over to her bed and sits next to her.] Share mine. So what are you having the most trouble with?

Maxim: The vocabulary.

Lara: What do you know?

Maxim: I know nothing.

Lara: Damn...

Maxim: I can't help it.

Lara: What do you do during class, anyway?

Maxim: Nothing...

Lara: That's obvious. [He starts copying down the vocabulary.]

Maxim: Gee...Thanks.

Lara: Well, you talk to Jeanene.

Maxim: Yeah...[He grins.]

Lara: So why didn't you ask her to help you? Or, better, one of your faithful cheerleaders?

Maxim: That's simple.

Lara: Why?

Maxim: Ich mag Sie.

Lara: Good you know something. [She thinks and her face goes blank.] Wait...what?

Maxim: Ich mag Sie.

Lara: Ok, I got it the first time...[She blinks.] Why?

Maxim: Cause your not a bimbo.

Lara: You like me because I'm not a bimbo?

Maxim: Yeah. [Lara's phone rings.] I'll let you get that.

Lara: ::sarcastically:: Thanks. [She walks to her phone and picks it up.] Hello? ::pause:: Hey, Daze. ::pause:: Nothing, you? ::pause:: I don't think he'd apperciate you calling him that. ::pause:: Haha...your not funny. ::She looks over at Maxim and rolls her eyes:: Yes, that'd be nice. ::pause:: All right, I'll see you at nine. Bye. [She hangs up.]

Maxim: Nice facial expressions.

Lara: She's weird. [She sits back on the edge of the bed as far from him as she can.]

Maxim: I'm sorry, Lara...I didn't...[She looks at him and cuts her eyes.]

Lara: You didn't need help, did you?

Maxim: I got a 105 on the test yesterday.

Lara: So what did you want to come over here for?

Maxim: I to...

Lara: So you could get in my room?

Maxim: No, I...

Lara: To humiliate me?

Maxim: But I...

Lara: Maybe you thought I'd sleep with you...Huh?

Maxim: No...

Lara: Then what was it?

Maxim: I like you, Lara. But I didn't want to make you uncomfortable. So I guess I'll just go home...[He gets off of her bed and grabs his jacket. He walks to the door and opens it.]

Lara: Max. [He stops but doesn't turn around.]

Maxim: Yeah?

Lara: Max...I just don't get you. [She gets up and walks over to him.] You barely know me.

Maxim: And yet I know you're smarter, funnier and prettier then any of the girls I hang out with.

Lara: Thanks. Your a horrible liar, but thanks.

Maxim: Do you ever take any compliments?

Lara: No. It's a personal problem.

Maxim: Apparently. [He turns around.] I'm sorry.

Lara: Hey, you didn't do anything. I should be jumping up and down right now. Jeanene would be.

Maxim: But you aren't like Jeanene. That's why I like you.

Lara: It wouldn't work, Max. [She shakes her head and crosses her arms.] That happily-ever-after shit is fine on stage, but it doesn't have a lot to do with real life.

Maxim: Don't belittle it, Lara. It's not a plot from a movie. I'm not Freddie Prinze Jr. and your not Rachel Leigh Cook. This isn't a movie. [He looks at her.] You're not as tough as you pretend to be.

Lara: Yes, I am.

Maxim: I don't believe that. I think you like that "happily-ever-after" shit as much as I do. You're just afraid to believe in it anymore.

Lara: Not afraid, Maxim, just cautious.

Maxim: Been disapointed too many times?

Lara: Maybe.

Maxim: What are you thinking? [She doesn't answer.] What? Killing me because you know I'm right? [She grins.]

Lara: How do you know I'm not thinking about what you look like without that shirt on?

Maxim: Tease.

Lara: Happily ever after is just a lie, Max.

Maxim: Happily ever after can be the best thing in the world.

Lara: Or it can be hell.

Maxim: You can never know unless you try.

Lara: I don't want to try. [He grabs her hand.]

Maxim: Why not?

Lara: Because...[She turns and looks at him, and shuts the door.] Because...[He smiles at her.] Because I...

Maxim: You think I'm gonna hurt you, don't you?

Lara: Well, I...

Maxim: Lara, I promise...[He grabs her other hand.] I will never hurt you.

Lara: But all those other girls...

Maxim: Don't you get it? Lara, you're not like those other girls. You're different. You're special. You're unique. You're...

Lara: Not a dumb popular cheerleader...[He laughs.]

Maxim: That, too...But you're the type of girl I'm not used to dating.

Lara: What? Ugly?

Maxim: No. No, you're not ugly. You're beautiful. But unlike everyone else I've dated, you're beautiful on the outside and the inside...

Lara: Actually...my insides are probably bloody and disgusting.

Maxim: You know what I meant, Lara.

Lara: I know but...[She looks down at his hands.]

Maxim: Sorry...[He takes his hands away.]

Lara: Max...[She sighs.] I don't know what to do right now. I'm confused.

Maxim: I can help you figure it out. [He grins.]

Lara: I somehow think your a tad biased to my descision.

Maxim: Well, this could sway your descision, too. [He bends down like he's going to kiss her when her door opens. Her brother Sean Blake walks in. He looks at them. Max gulps.] Yeah, definitely a natural blonde.

Sean: Hi. [He looks at Lara.] Bells, what's up?

Lara: I'm helping Maxim with his German.

Sean: Ok. So I can leave and it's all good, right?

Lara: Yep.

Sean: If you need anything...lemme know. [He looks at her.] And tell Andrew thanks for the heads up.

Lara: Andrew can shove it.

Sean: Night, sis. [He walks out and shuts the door.]

Maxim: Your brother?

Lara: Who else? I'm gonna kill Andrew.

Maxim: Why?

Lara: He told Sean you were here.

Maxim: So?

Lara: Now when you leave I'm going to have to tell him everything.

Maxim: Good thing he walked in when he did, then.

Lara: Yeah. [She smiles.]

Maxim: Well, I guess I better go before I get you in trouble...

Lara: You don't have to...

Maxim: I don't want you to have to deal with yrou brother. I'll see you tomorrow, though...Ok?

Lara: Yeah, sure...[He smiles at her and leaves the room.]
