NO ONE'S POV:

(We see Y/N, drenched in sweat, jogging down a sidewalk. It's a part of his training, working on his conditioning. He had been running all over town but now he's jogging.)

(Y/N): *spits*

(He stops to see Fezco's grocery store in front of him & decides to walk in.)

[STORE CHIME]

(Y/N): A/C...

Fezco: (Y/N), man, I know this may be hard for you but, please don't sweat all over the store.

(Y/N): [panting] I will definitely try not to.

Fezco: Okay. Can I help you with anything?

(Y/N): [deep breath] You have, uh, Gatorade or Powerade? Doesn't matter which...what am I talking about? You have both. Of course you have both.

Fezco: Yup.

(Y/N): Surprise me. Doesn't matter the color. Except blue.

(He tosses an orange Gatorade to Y/N which he catches.)

(Y/N): Thanks.

Fezco: Hey, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Yeah?

Fezco: I heard a rumor about you.

(Y/N): The rumor being?

Fezco: That you don't much care for Nate Jacobs.

(Y/N): That is true. I hate that dude.

Fezco: Cool, cool. Wanna help me fuck him up?

(Cut to Y/N at a party, standing in front of the drinks table.)

(Y/N): [sighs] I hate parties.

(As he takes a sip from his drink, he notices a girl hiding behind the table next to him.)

(Y/N): Rue?

(She looks up at him.)

Rue: (Y/N)? What are you doing here?

(Y/N): Getting something to drink. You mean why aren't I with Lexi right now. For starters, we took our own cars. And, well, I'm giving her some space. Apparently her and Cassie had an argument. So, why are you hiding?

Rue: Uh...

(He notices Jules.)

(Y/N): Oh. Gotcha. You-

Rue: I'm gonna stop you right there. I know you want to help me because you're like, the perfect gentlemen, am I right?

(Y/N): Yes?

Rue: I don't want nor need your help right now.

(Y/N): Fuck me, huh?

Rue: Yeah, fuck you. Bye.

(She crawls away.)

(Y/N): I fucking hate parties.

(Cut to Lexi running into Maddy.)

Lexi: Maddy, have you seen Cassie?

Maddy: I thought she was with you?

Lexi: No, we like got in a screaming fight and she got out of the car in the middle of the road.

Maddy: Wait, what? What were you fighting about?

Lexi: She was drinking while I was driving.

Maddy: How long ago was this?

Lexi: Like an hour and a half.

Maddy: Did you call her?

Lexi: She's not answering.
