Scene One
[Jenna Biesen has come up a decision; she has to travel two hours to UCLA to pay a surprise visit to her boyfriend Logan. He still hasn't returned any of her messages and patience has run thin. She isn't planning on going alone, so here she is getting out of her car which is in the drive-way of nemesis and crush, Lucky Spencer. The time of day is Seven AM and Jenna is planning on talking Lucky into going with her so that she doesn't have to go alone. She gets to the front door and rings the bell, waiting for an answer. Lucky answers after a couple minutes. His bedroom is the only one on the first floor of the house, so he's probably the only one who even heard the doorbell. He's wearing a loose pair of cotton pants and no shirt, which Jenna can't help but notice. His hair is matted on one side of his head and he rubs his eyes and stretches as he pulls the door open.]
Lucky Spencer: Do you know what time it is?
Jenna Biesen: Yeah I do. I need you to get dressed though. [She folds her arms across her chest.] Like right now.
Lucky Spencer: Dressed? What the hell for?
Jenna Biesen: We're taking a road trip to UCLA to pay Logan a visit. I don't want to go by myself so I figured you being the loser you are has nothing of interest to do today.
Lucky Spencer: Actually, I don't, but I'm sure I can find somethig if this is the alternative.
Jenna Biesen: Come on Lucky...[She potrudes her bottom lip in order to pout.] Please? Do you really think a delicate little flower such as myself should be driving all that way alone? I need a big, strong, man to protect me.
Lucky Spencer: Then take your brother.
Jenna Biesen: I all ready asked Matty and he's too busy trying to pursue Teagan. [She sniffles in order to play on his sympathies.] Pwease Lucky? I really don't wanna go alone.
Lucky Spencer: Ugh...Fine. [He steps aside and lets her in.] I'll go shower.
Jenna Biesen: [She grins and steps in.] Thanks Buddy. [She shuts the door behind her.] You aren't gonna take too long are you?
Lucky Spencer: Just sit out here...I'll be ready in ten.
Jenna Biesen: All right...
[She takes a seat and crosses one leg over the other, resting her hands in her lap. The whole time her mind is racing with all sorts of ideas as to why Logan hasn't been calling her. Hopefully the trip would turn out good and she'd be happy with the outcome. Lucky rushes through a lukewarm shower and throws on a shirt and a pair of jeans. He walks back out to the living room and heads for the door.]
Lucky Spencer: You comin'?
Jenna Biesen: Yeah. [She stands up and jogs to the door following him out.] Could we take your car? I'm like really low on gas...
Lucky Spencer: You're kidding me right? You're trying to drag me on this thing and you wanna use up all my gas? It's like three dollars a gallon!
Jenna Biesen: Please Lucky? [She bats her eyelashes at him.]
Lucky Spencer: You owe me gas money...[He pats his pocket.] Hold on...I gotta go get my keys and my phone. [He goes back into the house. He walks into his bedroom and unplugs the charger from his phone. He's a guy, and as guys do, they cover for each other. He flips his phone open and sends a text message. "jennas draging me up there." less than a minute later, his text message is answered, "no u cant! i'm...u no. keep her there." He sighs. It's not right, but it's his friend. He puts his phone in his pocket and grabs his keys before walking back outside. Jenna's leaning against his car.] Are you sure you wanna do this today?
Jenna Biesen: [She nods, smiling at him.] Yeah I do, I really miss Logan and just wanna see him. Plus it's gorgeous out; it's like the perfect day to go.
Lucky Spencer: Yeah, I know...But what if he's busy. I'm sure he's got a bunch of college stuff to do.
Jenna Biesen: What else is new? He's been doing college stuff for the past two weeks. He's gotta make time for me. [She brushes some hair out of her face before pulling a black CD case out of her purse. She holds it up grinning.] By the way I made us a mix CD for us to listen to on the way there! Isn't that great!?
Lucky Spencer: Yeah, but really, Jenna, you should really, really rethink this plan. Next weekend would be a better idea, don't you think?
Jenna Biesen: [She takes a step forward and eyes him.] Is there some reason I shouldn't go see my boyfriend? Is there something you aren't telling me Lucky, something I should know?
Lucky Spencer: No, I just honestly don't wanna make this trip to LA. Not only are we gonna hit a shitload of traffic, but I really don't like you that much. And we'll get up there and he'll be busy and it'll be a waste of a day.
Jenna Biesen: Fine, if you're not going to go with me then I'll go by myself. [She takes her keys out of her purse and walks back toward her own car.] I thought you'd want to see Logan, but guess not.
Lucky Spencer: Fine! Come on. [He unlocks his car and gets in.]
[She grins and turns, walking over to his car. She opens the door and gets inside of it. She places her purse down at her feet and slides off of her sweatshirt to reveal a lowcut gray tank top that has a few buttons unbuttoned. She slides her sunglasses on and sits back.]
Jenna Biesen: I hope you love Bon Jovi because that's what we're listening to.
Lucky Spencer: Well, we're in my car, but I really don't think that it matter what I want...
Jenna Biesen: Of course it matters, it's your car. [She turns and looks at him.] Tell you what though, I'll buy you breakfast, lunch, and dinner; deal?
Lucky Spencer: Deal...[He starts the car and backs out of his driveway. He just hopes Logan's able to cover his own ass this time.]
Scene 2
[Jenna and Lucky have been in the car driving down to UCLA for the past two hours. Jenna and Lucky have been bickering back and forth with one another over every little thing which is no surprise. As they are driving down the highway Jenna spots a sign that says 'Los Angeles 20 Miles'.]
Jenna Biesen: Thank you God, only twenty more miles and then I am out of this hell on wheels with you.
Lucky Spencer: Shut up or you're gonna jinx it.
Jenna Biesen: You're so flippin' rude, I don't know what in the hell I ever did to you but no need to be snippy. [She shakes her head and sighs loudly.] So Gee-Dee rude.
Lucky Spencer: Listen, Blondie, you came knocking on my door at seven this morning begging me to go with you, not the other way around. THEN you made an excuse so we'd have to waste MY gas. So I will say what the hell I please, cause I don't even really wanna see Logan, I talk to him enough. [He stops. Now he's said entirely too much.]
Jenna Biesen: What did you just say? [She turns her head and slides her sunglasses on top of her head.] What do you mean you all readt talk to him enough? You said you haven't heard from him since he left.
Lucky Spencer: No, what I said was I hadn't heard from him "that much."
Jenna Biesen: That's not what you said Lucas.
Lucky Spencer: No, Jenna, that's exactly what I said.
Jenna Biesen: [She thinks for a minute, trying to recall exactly what he said. She finally sighs and shrugs her shoulders.] All right I guess if that's what you said then you said it. I'm not going to fight with you over it. [She looks out toward the window.] I just wish I knew why he wasn't calling me or calling you. I'm so worried about him Lucky, I can't even sleep at night.
Lucky Spencer: Well don't worry about him, he's great...
Jenna Biesen: [She smiles, nodding.] Yeah I know, I just get scared that I'm going to lose him to some really smart college girl. All I want is to finish up this year and go to UCLA next year so I can be with him all the time.
Lucky Spencer: Well, Jenna, I can honestly say, you're definitely not gonna lose him to a smarter girl.
Jenna Biesen: Okay well then just lose him all together. I mean if he ever cheated on me, I seriously don't know what I'd do Lucky. [She exhales and manages a smile.] Well thank God that's nothing I have to worry about.
Lucky Spencer: Yeah...[He turns back to the road.] Great...
Jenna Biesen: [She turns toward him, still smiling.] Sorry if I've been a bitch to you lately, I've just been so stressed about Logan. I know he loves me but I just get this really uneasy feeling that he's not being true. Pretty stupid huh?
Lucky Spencer: Not at all...It's...Understandable.
Jenna Biesen: Yeah I guess. [She shrugs her shoulders, not all together sure. She remembers something though.] Oh by the way, mark your calander, next Saturday Night is mine and Matty's party. Our parents are going out of town as they did last year and the year before and therefore are party is taking place as per usual.
Lucky Spencer: Yeah...Matt told me about it already.
Jenna Biesen: You're gonna be there right?
Lucky Spencer: Umm...I'm gonna try and make it.
Jenna Biesen: [She turns her attention back to the road.] Well good then, you can be my date and cater to my every need. [She laughs.]
Lucky Spencer: What makes you think I'm not gonna have a date? Or that I would want to go with you?
Jenna Biesen: Because I'm blonde, gorgeous, and have legs up to my armpits. Who wouldn't want me as their date?
Lucky Spencer: Me.
Jenna Biesen: Fine don't have me as your date then. [She shrugs her shoulders once again.] See if I care. Besides the girl you'll bring is probably a whore.
Lucky Spencer: What did I tell you about girls? I don't have time. I have enough to focus on.
Jenna Biesen: Then if that's the case there shouldn't be any problem with having me as your date.
Lucky Spencer: Whatever excuses you'r trying to make to be as close to me possible, they can stop now.
Jenna Biesen: Excuse me?
Lucky Spencer: You heard me...
Jenna Biesen: That is the funniest thing I've ever heard. [She starts laughing but there is a hint of nervousness to her laughter.] Yeah like I'd ever want to be close to you! Get your head out of your ass Spencer!
Lucky Spencer: Really? So that's why you were at my door at seven this morning, right? Because you just HATE to be around me?
Jenna Biesen: Hardly, I was at your front door at seven this morning because you are his best friend. Simple as that.
Lucky Spencer: Yeah...Right.
Jenna Biesen: I offered to make the trip by myself but you jumped at the chance to come with me. I think it's you who wants to be close to me.
Lucky Spencer: I'd rather chop my balls off with a rusty meat clever.
Jenna Biesen: Yeah, sure okay. I bet you'd rather chop your balls off then have me uhhh...[She smirks to herself.] Well I don't need to go there because it's never going to happen.
Lucky Spencer: Thank God. I saw Logan's rash last year.
Jenna Biesen: Haha you're funny you asshole. [They finally see the turn off for UCLA.] Yes, we're almost there! God I hate you so much.
Lucky Spencer: Really? Well, thenyou can walk back to San Diego, Peaches.
Jenna Biesen: I'll just steal your keys when you aren't looking.
Lucky Spencer: Out of my pocket? I'm sure.
Jenna Biesen: Don't doubt me Lucky, I have my ways. [They pull into a parking lot as the car is put into park on the college campus.] Do you know which dorm Logan is in? I can't remember.
Lucky Spencer: God, Jenna, I don't know. [They get out of the car and his phone vibrates. He pulls it out. It's Logan. "i c u guys...stall!"] I think it's the big one over there...
Jenna Biesen: [She squints her eyes to get a closer look.] I think that's the administrative building. [She sighs.] I'm gonna try calling him. [She takes out her phone and dials his number. After a few rings there is no answer. Jenna sighs disappointedly and slides the phone in her pocket.] Well maybe you should try him.
Lucky Spencer: Yeah...Uhh...Okay. [He finishes a text message to Logan. "i cant stall nemor." He pretends to dial Logan, then holds the phone to his ear.] No answer.
Jenna Biesen: Then how are we supposed to find out what dorm he's in? [She looks almost on the verge of tears as she looks around.] Why is he not taking my calls or yours? [She turns and looks at him.] Do you think I did something wrong?
Lucky Spencer: You need to take a deep breath. His phone is probably just dead or on vibrate. You know he's famous for forgetting to take it off vibrate. I'm sure he just can't hear it. [He looks up and sees Logan looking out his window. Unfortunately, so does Jenna.]
Jenna Biesen: [Her fave breaks out into a wide smile.] There he is!
[Logan Marshall cursed himself as he pulled his curtains together. He quickly changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt before leaving his dormroom. Within five minutes he is outside and walking toward them. Jenna quickly runs at him and throws her arms around his neck.]
Jenna Biesen: Baby I've missed you so much!
Logan Marshall: Yeah I've missed you to. [He mouths 'Thanks a lot Man' at Lucky while shaking his head.] I gotta tell you though this is a huge surprise, I didn't expect you to come down here this weekend Jenna.
Jenna Biesen: Neither did I but I haven't talked to you in like two weeks and I really missed you.
Logan Marshall: Well thanks...[He says through clenched teeth but with a smile.] Lucky for bringing her down here. I really apprieciate it, I owe you big time for this one.
Lucky Spencer: Yeah, well..[He smirks.] Anything for a friend. [He looks over as some girl slinks out of the building. He shakes his head and turns back to Logan.]
Logan Marshall: Remind me to return the favor some time Lucky. [He watches the girl for a moment while Jenna's still hugging him. He grins at Lucky, nodding while mouthing 'She was fucking awesome. Best by far'.] Baby I missed you to but...[He kind of pulls her off of him.] I've got a lot of stuff to do today. I've got a lot of studying and shit, not to mention laundry to.
Jenna Biesen: Oh well...[She thinks for a moment.] Wait what if I did your laundry for you, that way we could still spend some time together and you could get some studying done.
Logan Marshall: Sure...That'd be great. [He hands her his dormroom key.] Why don't you go on up and start to gather my stuff up and I'll be up there in a minute, it's dorm two twenty-three and it's on the first floor. I wanna show Lucky the new speaker system I just got put in my car.
Jenna Biesen: Sure. [She kisses him on the cheek, taking his keys.] No problem.[She walks off out of sight.]
Logan Marshall: What the fuck man? Couldn't you find her something to do today!?
Lucky Spencer: Listen, Bro, she's not my girl! She came knocking on my door? I tried to tell her you were busy!
Logan Marshall: [He sighs and shrugs his shoulder.] Oh well at least I'll get my laundry done in the meantime. I guess something good can come out of this.
Lucky Spencer: You're a dick, you know that?
Logan Marshall: And why's that?
Lucky Spencer: No reason, Man...Where can I get something to eat?
Logan Marshall: The dining hall's open, I'll call Jenna in a few minutes to have her meet us over there. [He slides his hands in his pockets.] Damn it I can't believe she actually came down here. That bitch doesn't understand the meaning of needing personal space.
Lucky Spencer: Do you really have to talk about her like that?
Logan Marshall: [He raises an eyebrow.] What do you care? You guys can't stand each other anyway. Don't worry you won't have to deal with her shit too much longer, I'm breaking up with her soon.
Lucky Spencer: How long have you been saying that?
Logan Marshall: I just decided like last night. I can't take all her calls, messages, and crying bullshit. [He shakes his head.] I'm too old for that crap.
Lucky Spencer: Dude, the second you break up wtih her, she's gonna be all over me with the crying and the, "Why would he do this to me? I don't understand it!" Basically five times all the bullshit I've bene hearing since you left.
Logan Marshall: Just tell her to fuck off then.
Lucky Spencer: Dude, I'm not an asshole.
Logan Marshall: Fine, I'll stay with her just so you don't have to put up with her drama. [He smirks to himself.] Not like she has to know what's going on here. [He thinks to himself and then nods.] Actually keeping her around isn't a bad idea, I invite her down here one weekend a month, get her to do my laundry, I still get to fuck her, and then still have my fun on the side. No harm done.
Lucky Spencer: Wow...No wonder chicks think we're scum. It's you.
Logan Marshall: I am not scum, I'm just keeping my options open. The girls here at UCLA are amazing, so far all the girls I've screwed have been amazing. You know what?
Lucky Spencer: [sighs] I don't have to, you're gonna tell me.
Logan Marshall: You should come down next weekend and stay with me. I could get you hooked up with so many fine broads, you won't even be able to see straight.
Lucky Spencer: I can't...Her and Matt's party's next weekend. I told Matt I'd go.
Logan Marshall: All right then what about the weekend after? Jenna wants me to come home for some dance but I ain't doing that shit. You come down here and we'll party all weekend.
Lucky Spencer: Yeah, sure...I'll come down Saturday morning, I have a game Friday night.
Logan Marshall: Sweet. I better call Jenna so she doesn't think we ditched her. [He rolls his eyes and takes out his cell phone, dialing Jenna's number.]
[Jenna had her phone on vibrate so while she was gathering up Logan's dirty laundry she didn't know she was being called. As she was throwing various articles into a hamper, she heard a knock on the door as well as a voice.]
Voice: Logan, Sweetie, you in here? [Walks into the room just in time to see Jenna.] Oh...hello, is Logan here?
Jenna Biesen: [She raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms across her chest.] No he's not. [Eyeing her.] If you want I can tell him you, whoever you are, stopped by.
Voice: Oh I'm Cheryl...I'm ummm his study partner...
Jenna Biesen: Oh well all right, I'll make sure to tell him you were here.
Cheryl: Thanks.
[Before Jenna can reply Cheryl has all ready left. For some reason Jenna had a very uneasy feeling about the girl she just met but she figured she would just forget about it. What else could she do?]
Scene Three
[Lucky and Jenna are getting ready to leave UCLA, in fact they are out at Lucky's car with Logan as Jenna's saying her goodbye. She is standing in front of him with her back against the car and her arms around his neck.]
Jenna Biesen: I really hate that I won't see you for a few weeks. [She looks down and then back at up at him.] Will you please come home for the dance in two weeks? I really want you there with me.
Logan Marshall: No Jenna, I told you that because I'm in college now, I'm not going back for some stupid dance. |
