HOMECOMING CELEBRATIONS
Lyla, Dakota and the other cheerleaders walks off the stage after doing their routine. Dakota kneels down picking up her duffel bag as Lyla approaches her.
Dakota: Waste of figging time, huh?
Lyla: Look I know you hate me right now and I understand.
Dakota: I don't hate you, Lyla. It'll be a lot easier if you I did. It'll be a lot easier if you were just honest and see that it meant something.
Lyla: I don't know how to talk to you when you're like this. I mean, God, it's not even 7 00 and you're wanting to do get wasted. I want you to blame me, Kota. Blame the whole world, for all I care but if you think being drunk and ending up like your brothers is gonna make this easier, you're wrong
Dakota runs her hand though her brunette hair.
Lyla: It's not cool or charming. You're better then this and we both know it. I'm sorry. I really am
She turn and leaves. Dakota watches her go with tears forming in her eyes. Matt and Landry are nearby looking between them
Landry: Wait a minute........Kota and Lyla?
Matt: No. That can't be, can it?
Landry: What do I look like?
Matt: A dumbass.
He walks away
Landry: HEY!!!
LATER
Everyone is dancing around to the music that's playing. Dakota is dancing wildly with Matt and Landry while Lyla is dancing with her dad
RIGGINS HOUSE
A sweaty and panting Dakota enters the house seeing Tyra sitting on the couch.
Tyra: Hi look who it is.
Dakota closes the door
Dakota: What are you doing here, Tyra?
Tyra smiles, shaking her head
Tyra: Nothing. Sitting.
Dakota: Billy took a sick day. I guess it's not a big deal.
Tyra: Look, all we're doing is planning a party, honey. Not that it's any of your business.
Dakota: Yeah, whatever.
Tyra stands up grabbing a flyer
Tyra: Since when did you quit drinking?
Dakota: You know what? Keep your flyer, you guys have fun.
She turns and heads down the hall towards her bedroom, Tyra watches her go with a sad expression

Dakota glances to the side staring at Lyla before looking back towards the field, not noticing Lyla is now staring towards her.
DILLIAN HIGH
Lyla is walking down the hallway as Tyra follows her
Tyra: Garrity. Yo Garrity hold up.
Lyla stops and looks at her.
Lyla: Hi Tyra.
Tyra: So I heard........
Lyla: What'd you hear?
Tyra: Jason punched out Tim.
Lyla: Oh right.
Tyra: Yeah, yeah. I heard you were there.
Lyla: Yeah. I was.
Tyra: So why'd he do it?
Lyla: I don't know. Maybe just a misunderstanding. You know guys.
Tyra: Oh yeah, misunderstanings. That's funny
She places her hand on her stomach stopping her from leaving.
Tyra: The rumors are flying, just so you're aware.
Lyla: Yeah, well, I'm sure they're not true.
Tyra: Right, well, I didn't even tell you what they were.
She places her hand on the wall
Tyra: I know. You and Kota has been spending a lot of time together. I also know before you, she was a virgin.
Lyla: I got a-----I got ethics class so I gotta go.
Tyra: I just want you to know if Lovebug gets hurt in this crap, I'll kick your perfect little ass.
Lyla: Bye
She walks away
Tyra: Bye.
