INT. BEDROOM

"What are we doing in someone's bedroom," asked Harry confused.

Veronika SCREAMS...pulling away from the FIGURE...breaking free,
falling back onto the floor.

"Damn why don't you just scare her to death why don't you," said Sirius.

VOICE
(o.s.)
Hey... it's just me.

Nika looks up to see...

BILLY LOOMIS

"Why you scare her like that," asked Randy.

"Why you care," asked Billy glaring at Randy he always knew Randy had a crush on his girlfriend which he didn't like at all cause Veronika was his only his and wouldn't let anyone else take her from him.

A young, strapping boy of seventeen. Handsome and alluring. A star quarterback/class president type of guy. He sports a smile that could last for days.

VERONIKA
Billy? What the...

BILLY
I'm sorry. Don't hate me.

"Well she has the right to be mad," said Lily glaring at Billy.

Which Billy just rolled his eyes tired of these weird people and their opinions.

VERONIKA
What are you doing here?

BILLY
You sleep in THAT?

"You have a problem what I wear to bed, Billy," asked Veronika.

"Of course not you look amazing in it that's all," replied Billy pulling his girlfriend into his chest.

Billy pulls himself through the window.

VERONIKA
(whispering)
My dad's in the other room.

BILLY
I'll only stay a sec.

Suddenly...

The bedroom door BURSTS open. The doorknob catches on the
open closet door behind it jamming it, holding it in place.

VOICE
(from behind door)
What' a going on in there?

"Haha her dad almost came in," laughed Stu at his best friend.

Billy quickly rolls out of sight behind the bed. Veronika unjams the door to reveal...

MR. PRESCOTT, late 40' s, a severe presence. A distracted
man, nervous and pre-occupied.

"That's your dad," asked Remus.

"Yes I love very much he's a great dad couldn't ask for anyone better," replied Veronika smiling softly thinking about her dad.

MR. PRESCOTT
Are you okay?

VERONIKA
Can you knock?

MR. PRESCOTT
I heard screaming.

VERONIKA
No you didn't.

"Liar," said Tatum smirking at Veronika.

MR. PRESCOT
No? Oh, well... I'm hitting the sack. My flight leaves first thing in the morning. Now the expo runs all weekend so I won't be back til Sunday. There's cash on the table and I'll be staying at the Raleigh Hilton...

VERONIKA
..out at the airport...

MR. PRESCOTT
..so call if you need me.
