LAKEHURST
(172. "POKER FACE")
Sarah is sitting in the car with her mother outside of Lakehurst. "So sweety have a great day" her mother tells her. "Mom I will trust me" Sarah states, adding a giggle at the end. Her mother then sighs, "Jeez mom I really don't need your negativity ruining my day" Sarah adds, still laughing and her mother is laughing with her as well. "It's not that sweety it's just..." her mother begins. "Mom, if this is about dad and you taking a break...it's okay" Sarah tells her mother as she makes her way out of the car.
Vanessa is sitting down in her class as she is tapping on her desk, she's thinking about all of the things her family has been through, financially. Vanessa then notices someone typing something on a phone, "Hey what's that?" Vanessa asks him as he turns around, "Oh, I'm keeping up with all my bets on my games, any ideas?" the guys asks her. "Um...the Bulls" Vanessa takes a guess and the bell rings.
Sarah is walking in the hall, she has a lot of books in her hands and then she drops them, "Crap!" Sarah shouts as Kim bends down to help her pick up the books. "Here" Kim whispers. "Thanks, Kim right?" Sarah states. "Yep that's me we have like the same classes" Kim reminds her. "I know...it's just I try not to think about socializes with people" Sarah informs her.
"I know how you feel, but sometimes I think we all need a friend" Kim tells her. Kim then is about to walk away, "Hey" Sarah calls to her as she turns arounds. "What's up?" Kim asks. "You maybe wanna work on the project for Chemistry together?" Sarah asks her and Kim smiles and accepts the offer, "Sure" she then starts to walk away from the scene.
Vanessa is about to walk into her next class, but the guy from her first period class comes to see her, "Hey Vanessa...here" the guy tells her as he hands her $500. "What's this for?" Vanessa asks. "It's for betting on the Bulls, they won, and since you basically helped me I wanted to congratulate you" the guy tells her. "Wait is this betting thing...does it pay good?" Vanessa asks him. "Only if you bet and in order to do that you have to be lucky as hell and if I were you I'd do it, because you're lucky as hell" the guy states as he and Vanessa both laugh.
Vanessa makes her way to the phone booth and dials a number. "Hi...my name is Vanessa and I was wondering if I could place a bet on tonight's game...yeah I'd like to wager $200" Vanessa states as she fills the money in her pocket.
Sarah makes her way into her mother's car and then she closes the door, "So how was your day?" her mother asks her. "It was great...but mom there's something I want to know" Sarah begins. "Why did you and dad split up anyway?" Sarah whispers. "Because..." her mother begins, "Sweety I'm gay" her mother tells her. Sarah then stares at her mother, shockingly as there is silence...her mother then begins to drive away.
