.001 Pilot
Caroline Forbes is new to the town of Forton, so she doesn't know anyone, nor she has friends. Her mother Elizabeth is a sheriff, so she usually isn't home all the time. You would think Caroline would be throwing parties, like a normal teenager, but instead she babysits her neighbor's children because her mother forces her to do such. She is not used to her school's schedule because she goes to school at 5:00 am, but she gets out at 1:00 pm, so it makes better sense.
Caroline: (Narration)
(Alarm clock sounds off when clock reads 4:00 am)
I don't like my brand new schedule as much, but you know, I just got to go with the flow. (Caroline gets out bed and starts to prepare for school)
My mom refuses to drive me to school, yet forces me to ride the bus. Being seventeen, I would love to drive myself to school, but I just can't convince her to let me.(Caroline puts on jacket and heads downstairs)
Oh, that's not all my mom forces me to do, she also makes me babysit as soon as I get back from school.
Caroline: Good Morning! Mom.
Elizabeth: Good Morning Sweety, Did you sleep okay last night?
Caroline: Um... (thinks briefly) Sure, whatever.
Elizabeth: Someone didn't get enough sleep last night
Caroline: (starts to sit-down, but stops herself) LAST NIGHT! You might as well say tonight because it is only four-something! (begins to walkaway)
Elizabeth: NO! (Stands up, and Caroline stops) We will not start this, this time!
Caroline: (apologetically) Mom I...
Elizabeth: (Interupts her) No! Listen to me! (Caroline looks concerned as her mother walks toward her) The main reason why I moved was to start all over and I do not want all of this nonsense starting again! When I come back home today I will unpack all of these boxes.
Caroline: (Before Elizabeth finishes the word "boxes") No Mom, You don't have to...
Elizabeth: (Interupts her once more) You already have to babysit, so I will unpack everything, okay?
Caroline: (Generously) But Mom...
Elizabeth: (Demanding) Okay!
Caroline: Okay...
(Bus sounds are heard by Elizabeth)
Elizabeth: You should be heading to the bus stop now
Caroline: (Hears sounds too) You're right!, Bye Mom! (Runs for the door dodging as many boxes as possible, when she reaches door she opens it and begins running to the bus stop as fast she could)
(Caroline is at the bus stop, hanging on for dear life and notices a group of students that seem to go to her school)
Caroline: (Panting) What!
Girl: What, What?
Caroline: (Confused) Where is the bus?
Girl: Well, Our bus doesn't come until 4:30, but if you are in Elementary School your bus just left.
Caroline: (Beginning to laugh, but stops) I thought...
Girl: You thought, what?
Caroline: Nothing, so what is your name?
Girl: Bettie, yours?
Caroline: Caroline
Bettie: (Thinks Briefly) Caroline... Caroline Forbes!
Caroline: (Confused) Yea...
Bettie: Your my babysi..., well my brother and my sister's babysitter anyway
Caroline: Oh!, well nice to meet you
Bettie: You too!
Caroline: (Thinks Briefly) How old are you exactly?
Bettie: Seventeen, why?
Caroline: And why can't you babysit your own siblings?
Bettie: Well truth is, my dad believes I need to be babysat because he doesn't trust me.
Caroline: Oh!, well anyway, the good thing now is... I have a new friend!
Bettie: (laughs, as bus pulls up) There's our bus, C'mon!
(Bus arrives at Forton High and students get off bus and prepare for classes. Caroline and Bettie walk to the main office to go get their schedules and new locker numbers both arrive at their lockers)
Bettie: So what do you think so far?
Caroline: Um... This school is, is something. (begins enter lock combination)
Bettie: (Recalling) Ohh... locker 219, I hear about that locker a lot some people can't even get that locker open.
Caroline: (Trys locker combo again) You hear a lot about it, how come?
Bettie: You might want to get a new locker because that locker is so creepy, because they say whoever opens that locker is the strongest person in the school.
Caroline: (opens locker without any effort on the second try) Didn't seem so hard to open up...
(Her sentence is interrupted by an uproar and commotion of everyone talking about what just happened)
Caroline: (Notices spider webs) Ewwwwww...
Bettie: Do you know what you just did?
Caroline: What?
Guy: (Butting in conversation) You just got the "everyone thinks you're a freak" rep.
Caroline: (Over Reacting Furious) If anyone calls me a freak I will... (Faints, and falls on floor)
Guy: Hey!
Bettie: Caroline... Caroline!
