( school bell ringing )
Daphne: ( scoffs ) Fine. I'll just skip to the main part. Well, guess what, Velma? If you want my boyfriend, you can't have him.
V: Boyfriend? You think I like Fred? I haven't properly talked to the guy, and he can't even be bothered to remember my name.
V: Also, we've all heard the rumors. Fred is so self-conscious about his body, he's kicked everyone out of the bathroom at Amber's diner when he had to use it on more than 1 occasion. You can keep him.
V: Oh, my God. Norville!
N: Hey, I was rethinking some things and I...
V: No time! Drive me to Fred's house! I'll get my windbreaker.
Some time later when driving
N: Why would Fred kill Brett just because she photographed him in the bathroom?
V: Why wouldn't he? He has anger issues and the power to get away with it. If he just had 1 extra bad day and Brett set him off the edge, his parents can cover for him!
Velma steps out and sneaks around the property before attempting to jump the fence.
( grunts ) Ahh! ( rustling )
N: Velma, did you fall?
V: No, I dropped my shirt!... And I was still in it.
N: Okay, 'cause it really sounded like you fell.
( owl hooting ) ( creaking ) ( cell phone ringing, it's N ) ( gasps in surprise)
V: All the sounds are overstimulating N, can you please just come with me.
N: I love ya Velma but I'm not breaking and entering for you. I know! Have you seen any good movies lately?
V: Why would I? Movies are only fun when there's people. Mumbles: I'm weird and no one likes me.
N: That's not true. I like you.
( siren wailing )
Velma smiles and is determined to get in and out
She enters the window to Freds room and snoops around.
V: Fidget toys, books on traps? This isn't what I need right now. Bingo. Well. These are just Krista hooking up with... Damn, Krista. Get it. But why does Fred have the camera? Because Velma... ( gasps ) .. Brett also recorded this.
( gasps )
Fred walks out of the shower with only a towel covering him, walking closer to Velma without noticing. Unlike his usual walk that takes up space, is obvious and obnoxious. This time he's walking with a reduced stride length, with 1 arm holding his phone looking down and the other like a t-rex. Once they're about 6 feet away, Fred notices.
Freds eyes widen and he jumps back.
V: Wait, Fred? I-I thought you weren't-! I was just-sor-I... Um, I just came because I was curious about Brett.
V: Your room is not what I expected from the typical jock. Sure, it has a lot of dumb stuff on the surfice but it doesn't fit your personality at school.
F: What are you doing here Velma?
V: I thought you were pretending you didn't know me?
F: Uh I mean. Who are you and what are you doing?!
V: Looks at him confused
F: *Sighs.*
F: Look at school it's different, different place different me. Because if people know, they'll laugh, and never respect me as a man. They'll question the leader that I am meant to be. So to avoid embarrassment, I'm the school athlete.
V: What's all this about Brett then?
F: First of all, the rumor I kicked people out of the bathroom is wrong. And secondly, Brett with his stupid camera wouldn't leave me alone. I had no choice.
V: ( gasps ) ( breathes heavily )
Fred walks closer and Velma is backed into the bookshelf along the wall. He takes out a cheque book from behind her.
Suddenly they hear a knock at the front door. Velma uses it as a chance to escape out the window with what she has.
Fred notices but doesn't bother. He gets dressed quickly and rushes to the front door. The police talk to Freds parents and arrest him on the suspicion he had motive to harm Brett.

Velma rewritten
Misteri / ThrillerI got bored and wanted to see if Velma could be salvaged. Turns out there was some decent stuff that just needed a few tweaks! I'll re-write more if anyone comments asking for more. Also, I don't fully read over the source material bc of obvious rea...
