(Scene opens up on a bus stop in the city of Le Havre, France.
People are running through the streets, as if it were any
other day. Equi is sitting on her suitcase reading a book
about the male mind and how it works. Her friend Midori
walks up to her.)

MIDORI
You have got to be kidding me Equi!
Another book?

EQUI
Hey, I can't help myself. Its not my
fault that boys don't like me. I
have no idea what's wrong with me,
so I'm going to find out what's
wrong with them.

MIDORI
That doesn't make any sense!
Besides, plenty of guys like you!

EQUI
Yeah? Like who?
Midori sits next to Equi.

MIDORI
Um, like Raimond in our Math class.
He totally has a thing for you. He
comes over every day and hugs you!

EQUI
He has a girlfriend.

MIDORI
WHAT?! WHO?!

EQUI
Tess Ackerson...
Equi points to the other side of the bus stop where Raimond
and Tess are sitting together holding hands.

MIDORI
What about Adam? He is always
hanging out with you!2.

EQUI
Were partners in Drama. We are
writing a scene to perform for our
class.

MIDORI
SO?! Ohmygosh! Kent! He totally has
a crush on you. He sends you little
notes and practically pours his
soul out to you when you ask how
his day went!

EQUI
You have failed to realize that
Kent is attracted to the other
team.

MIDORI
What do you mean by other team?

EQUI
You know...the Other...the One that
we play...never Mind.
(Midori stands up.)

MIDORI
You know what? You're in denial.
You don't think any of them like you
because you don't like them back!

EQUI
You're the one who isn't making any
sense, Midori. Besides if someone
has feelings for me he will come
out and say it himself.

MIDORI
You are so picky! "He has to look
like this, he should act like that,
he will confess his love to me in
this manner"! Why can't you take a
chance on a regular boy?

EQUI
I wont do it because I don't want a
regular boy!3.
(The bus arrives. The students file into the bottom of the
bus. Midori is the last to board the bottom.)

MIDORI
Are you coming?

EQUI
I think I'm going to sit topside on
this one.

(Midori nods and enters the bus. Equi ascends the stairs to
the top level. She is the only one up there. The bus starts
to move out of town. She puts in her headphones and watches
the scenery go by. Eventually, a grand estate comes into
view. Equi sits up straight in awe of the beautiful manor.
As the bus pulls up next to the garden she sees a boy
standing in a gazebo. He has a gun pointed at his temple.)

EQUI
NO! DON'T!

(She looses her balance as the bus starts up. She falls over
the edge with her suitcase following. As she hits the
ground she hears footsteps running towards her. She knows
that she has been picked up and tries to look at who did
so. The only thing she finds is a pair of blue eyes. She
blacks out.)
