Buffy the vampire slayer, "Reality Bites."
SCENE TWO-SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL, BEFORE SCHOOL.
[It is the following morning and Buffy is walking along the corridors of Sunnydale High School with another girl. The other girl has long brown red hair and is wearing a simple skirt and sweater. Buffy is wearing a shorter skirt and a tank top, and the other girl is talking excitedly about homework from science.]
Girl:
"And I never knew we were going to do dissection this year but-"Buffy:
"Dissection? You mean like cutting things up?"[The other girl nodded happily.]
Buffy:
"Ew, that's gross. I can't believe you're actually excited about that Willow."Willow:
"How can you think it's gross? You see worse things than that most nights when you slay vampires and stuff!"[Buffy puts her finger to her lips.]
Buffy:
"A few decibels less Wil, we don't want the entire school to know."[A boy comes up and puts his arms around the two girls. He is tall with dark hair.]
Boy:
"The whole school to know what?"Willow:
"That you still sleep with your teddy."Boy [embarrassed]:
"I don't sleep with it thanks Willow; it's just on the end of my bed."Buffy:
"Relax Xander, we were just talking about me being the slayer."Xander:
"Oh that. So did you waste any vampires last night?"[Buffy looks thoughtful before replying.]
Buffy:
"Well there was one, but this was really strange- he knew who I was because I've tried to kill him before. Apparently he was one of the vampires when I burnt the gym down back at my old school."Xander [frowning]:
"And what was he doing here?"Buffy:
"He said he came to join the master, and he also said he was the only one who survived the fire, but I don't know."Willow:
"Maybe we should go to the library?"Xander:
"That's your answer for everything- go to the library."Buffy:
"I think she means to see Giles Xander."Xander:
"Of course, I knew that, I was just…never mind, we'll have go in our break though. You can't keep cutting class already Buffy or you'll be out before you know it."[Buffy sighs, but before she can say anything a few girls walk past. One, who is clearly the leader of the group, is pretty and obviously rich from her outfit.]
Rich girl:
"Oh I love that sweater Willow, where did you get it?"Willow [shocked]:
"You do? I mean I got it in-"Rich girl:
"Isn't sarcasm in your dictionary?"Xander:
"Isn't pain in the butt in yours Cordellia? Oh wait, you wouldn't be able to read it anyway."Cordellia:
"You know Buffy you would have been better off sticking with me than with these nerds."Xander:
"I resent being called a nerd."Cordellia:
"Resent away, it's a fact. Come on girls, let's get going."[They begin to walk off, but Buffy, Willow and Xander can still hear them.]
Cordellia:
"You know she's really weird- she bailed me up with a stick once, I thought she was going to kill me."Willow:
"Come on, we better get to class, we're late all ready."Xander:
"I wish you had staked her Buffy. Do you think that maybe she's some kind of demon or something? I mean, you can't tell me she's not evil."Buffy [shrugging]:
"Who knows? I mean our teacher turned out to be a praying mantis, so it's not outside the realms of possibility."Xander [shuddering]:
"Can we not talk about praying mantis lady please?"[The gang reached the classroom.]
Buffy:
"Sure Xander, no more insect talk. Welcome to the hellmouth."[End of scene.]
