EXT. CAMPUS – FOOTBALL ARENA – LATER

Megan is sitting at the side of the field.

The others, both cheerleaders and football players, have resumed their practices.

One of the quarterbacks is standing over her:

QUARTERBACK: Babe, what you doing lying on top of that guy?

MEGAN: He saved me! I messed up my tumbling!

QUARTERBACK: Well, why didn't you just get up? Why hang around on his chest for so long?

MEGAN: I was unconscious!

QUARTERBACK: Oh... (beat) But I don't want you fooling around with that guy, you hear me?

Silent tears paint Megan's cheeks with mascara.

The quarterback turns and looks toward the cheerleading team.


A CHEERLEADING GIRL

sees the quarterback coming toward them.

CHEERLEADING GIRL: Oh, no...

Matt looks at her.

Then, the quarterback steps in front of him.
