Scene 1:
It's the following day. Eddie and Linda just woke up, next to each other in bed.
Linda: (yawning) Did we... Did we do it, or was that just a dream?
Eddie: Nope, we did it for real.
Linda: Ugh, I can't believe I let this happen.
Eddie: It wasn't bad, was it?
Linda: No... It was good... Great... Excellent... Perfect. If I'm being honest, it may have been the best ever.
Eddie: (excited) Really?
Linda: Don't get too excited just yet. We can't do this again!
Eddie: Why not?
Linda: Because it's you and me, Eddie. It's fucking cursed. Imagine what your brother, or Clive, or anyone from our past would think of this.
Eddie: What? You don't think they already know, on some level?
Linda: No.
Eddie: They know I left. They know you left. Leo knows I came with a girl. It's not that hard to put two and two together.
Linda: You told Leo there was a girl? Bruh, of course they're gonna figure it out eventually.
Eddie: Yeah, I might have told him some unnecessary details as well, that will further help him figure it out.
Linda: (sigh) You know what? We don't have time for this. Today is our first day of school.
Eddie: Right. I almost forgot.
[They get up, get dressed, and go to the kitchen, to have breakfast. They're now discussing the plan, while having cereals]
Linda: Now, remember, we have to look like a real couple.
Eddie: Based on what happened last night, I don't think we're gonna have problems.
Linda: Right... Now remember, we have to be a part of the cool kids.
Eddie: Pfft, why?
Linda: We didn't go through all this trouble to be losers, right?
Eddie: Linda, would you relax? Let's just be ourselves. It's most likely our last semester in any high school, ever. So fuck the labels, let's enjoy life.
Linda: B-but... Nevermind, you're right. Now c'mon, let's finish this.
[They finish their breakfast, get everything they need, and head to the bus stop, which is still empty]
Linda: Did we get here too early?
Eddie: Nah... We could just rent a car, though.
Linda: And what's the fun of that? I miss the legendary yellow school buses.
Eddie: Well, I don't.
Linda: That's because you went to Sacred Falls, and Sacred Falls fucking sucks.
Eddie: Yeah. But a bus is just a bus.
Linda: We'll see.
[More people join in. Eddie and Linda hold hands]
Eddie: (whispering to Linda) These kids seem kinda quiet.
Linda: (whispering back) Yeah. And they don't seem to know each other that well. You know what this means, right?
Eddie: (whispering) Nope.
Linda: (whispering) The back of the bus is probably unclaimed.
[The bus arrives. All of the students get in, and none of them are headed to the back of the bus, which is completely empty. Eddie and Linda sit there]
