Scene 1:

Things have remained basically the same, ever since the group's trip to Kiandra. It's now mid-September. Holly and Chase are holding hands, on their way to school. They're sharing earphones, playing "Move Along" by The All-American Rejects.

Chase: ... Ouch!

Holly: What's wrong?

Chase: Nothing, just this weird headache again.

Holly: Bruh, you still haven't got that checked out?

Chase: Nope. It's not that painful. It's just persistent.

Holly: Okay, but it doesn't seem to be going away. If I were you, I'd get that checked out, just to make sure it isn't something dangerous.

Chase: ... Alright. I guess I will. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

Holly: Yep. I just want the best for you, babe.

Chase: I know. I'm so lucky to have you.

[They get to the school, and run into Greg and Kate, holding hands too]

Greg: Hey babe, they're copying us.

Holly: Bullshit, we started dating first.

Kate: And? It's about who does it better, not who does it first.

Chase: And that's us.

Greg: Haha... All jokes aside, I'm really happy about all of us.

Kate: Same.

Holly: So am I.

[Mark and Gemma show up]

Gemma: Hey guys, guess what? Mark and I have big news.

Kate: Victoria finally shared her secret?

Greg: The 1% of bacteria died?

Mark: What? No. Remember that checkers tournament Gemma and I entered?

Chase: Not really.

Gemma: How can you not remember? We literally have been talking about it for weeks, now.

Holly: Guys, I just wanna say that, whenever you two start rambling about boring board games, we're not really listening.

Gemma: Well, you're gonna listen now.

Mark: We won 7 tickets to Florida.

Greg: (surprised) What?

Kate: Holy shit.

Gemma: You fuckers are welcome.

Chase: ... Florida, huh? Not so sure about that.

Mark: C'mon, dude. It will be cool.

Kate: We definitely have to go. That place is a lot like Australia.

Holly: Meh. I guess.

Greg: ... But you have 7 tickets. And there's 6 of us. Who are we taking with the extra ticket?

[Abby shows up, out of nowhere]

Abby: I suppose you could take someone like me, who kinda helped your school win the school wars.

[They are all happy, yet surprised to see Abby]

Holly: Abby? Holy shit, what are you doing here?

Abby: I got transferred again. I was tired of Black Storm. They all hated me there. This is where I belong.

Greg: Welcome back.

Abby: Thanks. It's good to be back to the beautiful White Lightning High.

Kate: Why did they hate you? Jeremy is the one they should hate.
