Scene 1:

It's been almost 2 months. Right now, it's October 31st, and also a Saturday morning. Catrina is still asleep, and this is her last day of tutoring at Blue Fire's sister school, Purple Fire. Sam is about to wake her up.

Sam: Psst! Catrina! Wake up!

Catrina: (wakes up, and yawns) It's Saturday, no school.

Sam: Tutoring, remember?

Catrina: Oh, right... Fuck my life!

Sam: C'mon, it's the last day. You'll never have to do it again.

Catrina: ... Fine.

[Catrina gets up, gets dressed, and goes to the kitchen, to have breakfast. Sam, Stewart and Corey join her]

Stewart: Good morning, fuggins.

Catrina: Not for me.

Corey: Oh, right. You still have that tutoring thing... When will that end?

Catrina: Today is the last one.

Corey: Oh, well, at least there's that.

Stewart: It can't be that bad.

Catrina: It is. I have to be there for hours, trying to teach those kids how to do the most basic shit, and they somehow never learn... And the worst part, is that I have to run into that jerk, Gerard. The motherfucker tutors those students voluntarily, on Saturdays.

Sam: Damn, you two are always crossing paths.

Stewart: The universe wants you two to be together, fuggin!

Catrina: (slightly mad) No, it fucking doesn't! I can't stand that guy.

Sam: Hate and love are separated by a very thin line.

Catrina: That's the most bullshit thing ever said. Hate/love relationships don't exist in real life. You either like someone, or you don't. You can't have both.

Sam: You totally can, but whatever. If it bothers you that much, just act like he's not there. I'm sure Purple Fire wouldn't be so bad then.

Corey: By the way, what's Purple Fire like? Is it like a mix between Red Fire, and Blue Fire?

Catrina: Yeah, I wish. Looks absolutely nothing like Red Fire. Kinda like a cheap version of Blue Fire, and it's a bit dead... Well, to be fair, I go there on Saturdays, so I don't know how that's like on normal circumstances.

Stewart: Yo, what's Red Fire?

Corey: That school we went to, in Australia.

Sam: Oh, right. It's the one mom and dad say it's garbage, but uncle Noah seems to love it.

Corey: You guys have no idea, Blue Fire is so much better.

Catrina: Yeah, I agree. Blue Fire is the best, despite all the shit that has happened to me.

Stewart: Yeah, it really is the best. I'm glad we realized it, while we're still there. 

Sam: We still have a long road ahead... But yeah, it's been kinda fun.

Corey: You guys realize, the curse of the King bloodline ends with you, don't you?

Sam: Oh, yeah. I'm definitely not going back to high school. I've been there for too long now.

Stewart: Me neither. I know it's gonna end, but it's not the end of the world. I make sure to have the best time, just so that I look back, with no regrets.
