19: Best Friends Fight

The Lakeside Festival is around the corner and Tom and Andrew have their first big fight so the Crew try to figure out what's up.

Lakeside High: Entrance

Darcy: It’s time for the Lakeside Festival again.

Michael W.: Lakeside Festival? What’s that?

Kyle: Oh right, this is your first year in high school. Pretty much once a year, around May, Lakeside High spends an entire day doing an event.

Darcy: The event is different every year and pretty much everyone participates.

Sarah: Classes freshmen to junior participate while the senior class and faculty members supervise.

Kim & Tim: The event is done in pairs and the school normally selects them at random.

Michael W.: So we are all gonna be separated?

Kyle: That’s normally how it works.

Sarah(graceful): Remember our first year Kyle? We were lucky enough to pair up and almost won.

Marie: I bet you lost it for Kyle.

Marie and Sarah get into an argument.

Darcy: I knew this conversation was too good to be true.

Kim & Tim: Hey, where are Tom and Andy?

Kyle: Yeah that’s odd. You and Andy normally get here at the same time right Mike? And Tom gets here before you do.

Michael W.: Andy got a ride from his mom today but odd enough here they come.

Tom approaches the Crew from the left and Andrew approaches the Crew from the right.

Kim & Tim: About time you guys showed up.

Tom(mad/direct toward Andrew): Robot!

Andrew(mad/direct toward Tom): Crybaby!

Marie and Sarah stop arguing. Tom and Andrew cross paths, enter the school and separate.

Sarah(surprised): Whoa! When did Tom Cannon become such a loose cannon?

Kyle: Why did Tom call Andy a robot and Andy call Tom a crybaby?

Michael W.: This is just weird. Why would my little boy fight with his best friend?

Marie becomes extremely excited and Michael takes notice.

Michael W.(scared): Oh no! Please don’t tell me I’m thinking what you’re thinking.

Marie(excited): We’ll stage an intervention.

Michael W.(scared): Kim, Tim, run for it!

Michael, Kim and Tim try to make a getaway but are stopped by Kyle, Sarah and Darcy.

Michael W.(in unison with Kim & Tim): Crap!

Kim & Tim(in unison with Michael): Damn it!

Kyle: If we get sucked into this then you guys are in it as well.

Michael W., Kim & Tim(cry/shout): Nooooo!

Lakeside High: Room D118- Homeroom

Marie: Tom how’s it going? How was your weekend?

Tom(calm): It was pretty good. Nothing really happened though. What about you?

Marie: Same old, same old.

Tom(happy): Sounds like it sucked for the both of us then ha-ha.

Marie: So what was that with Andy? You…

Tom(mad/interrupt Marie): Nothings going on! Andy’s just an a*****e, so leave it alone.

Marie: Ok, ok, I was just curious about what happened earlier.

Instructor Kate: Attention class.

The class settles down.

Instructor Kate: I’m sure word about the Lakeside Festival has reached the freshmen class by now.

Student: Yeah, what is that anyway?

Instructor Kate: It’s an event that happens once a year involving the freshmen, sophomore and junior classes. A random event set up by the school that takes place all over the Lakeside area.

Student 2: What about the seniors? What do they do?

Instructor Kate: The senior class and faculty members look over the event to ensure there are no problems. Depending on the event, they can give hints or not.

Student 3: So do we do the event solo or in groups?

Instructor Kate: The events are done in partners. Normally the school randomly selects the pairs for the students but this year everyone is able to choose their own partner. Be happy for that, just submit your parings to the office.

The bell rings, the class exits and Tom slips away from Marie.

Marie: Damn! He got away.

Lakeside High: Room B110- 1st period

Kim: Andy, what’s going on between you and Tom?

Andrew: Nothing.

Kim: But what about earlier?

Andrew(mad): Nothing happened.

Lakeside High: Gym- 3rd Period

Sarah: Did you find out why they are fighting from Tom?

Kyle: No, we were working in separate lab stations in Chemistry today.

Sarah: Crap, I was hoping you did so we wouldn’t have to for that girl.

Kyle: Here comes Tom now. Let’s talk him into a game of soccer and get it out of him.

Tom walks by.

Sarah(uninterested): Tom, how about a game of soccer?

Tom: No thanks.

Sarah grabs Tom by the shirt stopping him.

Sarah: Great, let’s go.

Kyle and Sarah get Andrew and pair him up with Tom.

Tom(mad): Why do I have to work with this robot?

Andrew(mad): I could say the same thing crybaby.

Tom(mad): You know this is not worth it. I’m out of here.

Andrew(mad): Same.

Tom and Andrew leave.

Kyle: Well that was fast.

Sarah: Oh well, we tried.

Lakeside High: Cafeteria- 2nd Lunch

Michael, Kim and Tim get Tom and Andrew to sit at the same table. Tom and Andrew still ignore each other.

Michael W.: So why are you guys fighting?

Tom & Andrew(mad): We’re not.

Kim & Tim: Yeah ya’ll are. You two won’t even look at each other.

Andrew(mad): Ask the crybaby.

Tom(mad): Ask the robot if you want to know.

Tom and Andrew argue for the remainder of the lunch break.

Lakeside High: Entrance

Marie: Darcy, what did you find out?

Darcy: Nothing, we didn’t work together in Photo today.

Marie: Kyle?

Kyle: Same as Darcy for Chemistry and they didn’t say anything in gym.

Marie: Mike?

Michael W.: Nothing in World History.

Kim & Tim: Nothing at lunch either.

Marie: God! What’s wrong with those two?

Sarah: What now genius?

Andrew’s House: Kitchen

Dakota: Why have you been so mad lately?

Andrew: None of your business.

Dakota: It’s about your boyfriend Tom isn’t it?

Andrew(mad): NO!

Dakota(enjoying himself): It is cause you haven’t talked to him in the last couple of days. I like him better than you too. And how will this affect Drake?

Andrew chases Dakota and he runs away laughing.

Tom’s House: Living Room

Tom: It sounds like you’re not taking my side.

Drake(voice): You know you put me in an impossible situation. You’re my best friend and Andy is my lover.

Tom: Your not together you know.

Drake(voice): I still love him though.

Daisy: Maybe you’re going about this all wrong.

Drake(voice): Yeah, tell the story again.

Flashback- Los Angeles: Lakeside- A Few Days Ago

Tom: I don’t believe that someone as smart as you don’t have any honors classes.

Andrew: I guess my teachers don’t want me in harder classes.

Tom: Liar you just like taking it easy.

Andrew: Just because I don’t have any honors classes doesn't mean that I’m not overworked. Besides, having harder classes would just make me over emotional.

Tom: Eh? What are you saying?

Andrew: It’s nothing related to you since you’re always happy.

Tom(mad): At least I’m not an emotionless robot! I don’t block out people who are interested in me!

Andrew(mad): Your right. That way I don’t let them get close to me just so I can cry to them about my problems like a crybaby.

Tom(mad/shout): ROBOT!

Andrew(mad/shout): CRYBABY!

Tom’s House: Living Room- Present Day

Drake(voice): It sounds like you overreacted when he called you a little emotional.

Daisy: You did.

Tom: Maybe I did but he still called me a crybaby.

Daisy: Why don’t you try to see things from his point of view?

Drake(voice): Yeah, try talking to him. See if you two can come to an understanding.

Tom: I don’t think that is possible right now.

Tom exits.

Daisy: Tom left Drake. Thanks for trying though.

Drake(voice): No problem misses C. Can you keep me posted on the situation?

Daisy: Sure, bye Drake.

Drake(voice): Bye.

Lakeside High: Entrance

Michael drags Tom over to the Crew.

Tom: You know it’s illegal to drag someone somewhere against their will.

Michael W.: Trust me, it’s this or something worse.

Kyle drags Andrew over to the Crew.

Andrew: Hi all. Tom.

Tom: Andrew.

Sarah(snaps): You guys are seriously fighting over something so stupid. The thing is (point at Tom) you’re an emotional, overreacting crybaby and (point at Andrew) you’re a shy, emotionless robot. Your both complete opposites get over it.

Tom: Crybaby? Robot? You all talked to Drake didn’t y'all?

Marie: Drake had us on a three way call, we had the phone on speaker and we were getting to that.

Michael W.: You guys shouldn’t be fighting over something so silly.

Darcy: So really guys makeup and make things easier on everyone again. It’s really just come to a point of being ridiculous.

Andrew(direct to Tom): You know they are right.

Tom(direct to Andrew): Yeah so I’m sorry I called you a robot. I guess I was just overreacting to things.

Andrew: And I’m sorry I called you a crybaby. I should have taken your personality into consideration.

Michael W.(whisper to Marie): This is great. Maybe we won’t need plan two.

Tom: But…

Marie(whisper): But? Why a but?

Michael W.(whisper): Crap.

Tom: This past week got me thinking and maybe we shouldn’t hangout anymore.

Kyle: Tom what are you saying.

Tom: I just need some time to myself for a while. Seya later.

Tom leaves and the Crew stands in confusion.
