[Fade In on Tuesday morning, Nik Garison is wearing jeans and a black tee shirt that says 66 in white letters. He knocks on the door of the Rodericks. Ada answers the door she's wearing her regular work clothes which consits of a straight black skirt and a nice button up red blouse, she's wearing light make up on her already beautiful face. She looks at Nik.]

Ada: "Good morning, Nik. You're here to talk to Blake before school?"

Nik: "Sort of, Mrs. Roderick, I was going to pick her up."

Ada: "I'm sorry, she has plans after school. She has a doctors appointment. But why don't you come in, have a bagel or something?"

Nik: "Yes, ma'am. I'm not really hungry, i've already eaten this morning."

[Nik follows Ada into the kitchen of the three bedroom, two bathroom, two floor home. He shuts the front door as he follows.]

Nik: "Is Blake still getting ready for school?"

Ada: "I beleive so."

[Ada says walking by the island and applying strawberry cream cheese onto a bagel. ]

Ada: "So when's the first big basketball game?"

Nik: "This friday. Will you be coming?"

Ada: "Actually I am. Kyle loves basketball so we're both going."

Nik: "My dad will be there as well."

[Ada takes a bite out of her bagel. Blake walks downstairs into the kitchen, she's wearing straight leg jeans with a black top that has short pink sleeves coming from the arms and Princess written in pink on the chest. She's also wearing black heels and light make up. She looks at Nik.]

Blake: "You didn't tell me you were coming over."

Nik: "I wanted to surprise you. Pick you up."

Blake: "Sorry, I can't. I usually get Paige before picks a fight with her sister in law. And I have an appointment this afternoon."

Nik: "Your mother told me. Well I guess we can talk tonight, we are having dinner together, right."

[Ada gives her daughter a look and speaks before Blake can.]

Ada: "Nik, we're having dinner at the house tonight. A family member of mine is coming. Your welcome to attend."

Nik: "Thank you, Mrs. Roderick. I'll be here around 7."

Ada: "Perfect. C'mon, we should get going."

[Ada says noticing the time and begins to walk towards the door.]

[Paige Swan is in her bedroom which is painted all black and has drawings on the walls that she drew herself and quotes that she either made up herself, found online, saw in a movie or heard in a song. She's wearing black slacks and a black loose fitted tee shirt that hangs off her shoulders and shows her black bra. She's wearing dark make up as well, she has her door locked and she has one of her windows open. She has an astray with a lit joint in it. She smokes it while looking into the front yard. There's a knock on her door, it's Loretta, her sister in law.]

Loretta: "Paige, open up."

[Paige puts the astray onto the roof where it won't fall and sprays some air freshener, she walks by the door and opens it. Loretta is a beautiful girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes, she looks liked she stepped out a magazine, which she did seven years ago. She used to model and act as a kid and teenager and still does when she's not working as a kindergarden teacher. She's twenty five and loves Paris more than anything in the world that's why she's trying to deal with Paige as a sister in law.]

Loretta: "What were you doing?"

Paige: "Getting ready for school. What does it look like?"

Loretta: "To me it looks like you were smoking pot again. Paige, don't you see your heading down the wrong path."

Paige: "Your not my mother so stop trying to mother me."

Loretta: "I'm sorry that I don't know what its like to loose a parent but i'm doing my best to sympothize with you, but your being hard to deal with."

Paige: "Just leave me alone."

[A car honks and Paige begins to walk downstairs. Her brother, Paris stops her at the bottom of the steps. He's a nice looking adult with light brown hair and is wearing jeans and a tee to go to work as a writer in the basement.]

Paris: "Where do you think your going?"

Paige: "School."

Paris: "Don't forget that we're going on a trip to visit Loretta's family this weekend. And by we, I mean you, me and Loretta."

Paige: "Why do I have to go? Her parents hate me."

Paris: "Because your apart of this family. And her parents hate you because you were going down on her cousin at her uncle's funeral. Go to school and make sure you come straight home."

Paige: "Just because you tell me something doesn't mean i'll do it."

[Paige says walking to the front door and opening it.]

Paris: "My house, my rules."

[She looks at her brother.]

Paige: "This is our parents house."

[She grabs her bag from by the door and heads outside to Blake's car and gets into the passenger seat. Blake looks at her friend.]

Blake: "What's the matter?"

Paige: "Nothing. Loretta's just being a bitch."

Blake: "She always seems nice when i'm around."

Paige: "Thats because you don't live with her."

Blake: "Why is it you two don't get along?"

Paige: "Have you not seen her? She always looks like she just walked out of one of those fashion magazines. I hate her, she hates me."

[Blake sees Loretta getting into the driver side of her red Cadalac and then pulls out of the driveway and drives to the school. Paris walks out of the house before Loretta could start her car. He looks at his wife by leaning on the window thats rolled down.]

Paris: "Can I talk to you for a sec?"

Loretta: "It's gotta be really quick. I can't be late for work."

Paris: "It's about Paige. I'm not trying to stand up for her. But you have to understand her and my mother were close."

Loretta: "Baby, it's been over four years. I know the stories. But she can't keep acting this way. I've seen it happen mllions of times with models I worked with they started smoking marijuana and that led to crystal meth or cocaine. She might think that's going to be it, but its not. I care about Paige a lot. And i've been trying my best for her to like me. There's nothing I can do."

Paris: "Have you tried maybe taking her shopping?"

Loretta: "I've tried. I even tried asking her if she wanted Blake to come with us. She's not putting her foot forward. I'm not giving up on her."

Paris: "Please don't."

[He kisses her on the lips and then steps back. Loretta starts up the car and heads off to work when she remembers something. She picks up her cell phone and presses speaker.]

Loretta: "Call Brooke."

[Her phone calls Brooke. She answers on the second ring.]

Brooke: "Hello."

Loretta: "Hey, Brooke. It's Loretta, I have a huge favor I want to ask."

Brooke: "Ask away."

Loretta: "I need to borrow your store for like 4 hours this Saturday. Can I do that?"

Brooke: "What will I get in return?"

Loretta: "Besides my money. I'll do some runways or print ads for Clothes Over Bros."

Brooke: "Sounds like a plan. I'll give from noon to 5, how does that sound?"

Loretta: "Great. But its not going to be just me. It's going to be my sister in law and possibly her friend."

Brooke: "What are you trying to do, get on her good side?"

Loretta: "Exactly. She hates me for no good reason. And she's an embarrasment. Didn't I mention the story about my uncle's funeral to you?"

Brooke: "Oh yes. I remember. I swear kids these days. Hey look I get going but i'll see you saturday."

Loretta: "Thanks again, Brookie."

Brooke: "Your welcome."
