Ep. 7 Barracuda
(In school, Kendra's locker)
(J.T. runs up to Kendra)
J.T.: Hey! How are you holding up?
Kendra: Fine. Hey I can't hang out today. My mom's finally seriously thought about the fact that I'm pregnant, and she's not too happy.
J.T.: Do you want me to talk to her for you?
Kendra: No... really, J.T. Just don't.
J.T.: Oh... ok.
(Bell rings)
J.T.: Have a good day, hon-
(She walks away)
J.T.: -ey.
(Paige and Spinner are walking to Math Class)
Spinner: So what'd you do yesterday?
Paige: Shopping with Mom. Enough said.
Spinner: Cool. Look, I'm sorry about everyone being so immature.
Paige: It's not your fault. They'll grow up someday. Just like you said.
(In Math)
Ellie: So you wanna stop by the gallery today?
Jimmy: I'd love to.
(Craig looks over)
Craig: Hey! Do you mind if I tag along? Haven't talked to you guys in a while, and every time I call, you're always at the art gallery. I want to know what all the excitement's about.
Ellie: Aren't you busy with Ash or something?
Craig: Ash can wait. Some things are more important.
Jimmy: Ok. Meet us there at 6.
Craig: (Smiles at Ellie) I'll be there.
(At the hospital)
Kendra: Mom, I can't do this. Not without telling J.T. He was so happy!
Mom: I know, but you cannot have a baby. You're too young.
Kendra: But weren't you happy for me not too long ago?
Mom: Yes, but I wasn't myself at the time.
(Kendra sighs)
Mom: Kendra, you told me at 3 in the morning...
Kendra: I guess... maybe... you're right.
(A doctor comes out and walks up to them)
Doctor: I'm guessing you're Kendra Mason?
Kendra: Yes.
Doctor: Are we all set?
Kendra: I guess.
Doctor: Well here you can't guess. You have to be sure.
(Kendra looks at her mom, her mom nods)
Kendra: Yes. I'm sure.
(On the phone)
J.T.: So how are ya, Little Van Sandt?
Danny: Good. How's the baby?
J.T.: Great. We're so happy.
Danny: I'm happy for you too. I'm just surprised that her mom isn't making her get an abortion.
J.T.: Yeah... Me too.
Danny: Hey, I gotta go. Lib's gotta use the phone.
J.T.: Bye.
(They hang up)
J.T.: (To himself) I least I hope her mom isn't.
(At the art gallery)
Ellie: This stuff is amazing... Pure genius.
Jimmy: Yeah, my favorite is the-
Craig: Yeah! Genius! I love art so much. Thanks for letting me come.
Ellie: Yeah... no problem, Craig. I'm gonna go look at the sculptures.
Craig: Ooh, me too! I love sculptures! Love em, love em.
Jimmy: Ok... I gotta go outside and call my dad quickly. Be back soon.
(Ellie gives him a hurried look)
Craig: Let's go!
(He grabs Ellie's hand and pulls her to the sculpture section)
Ellie: So... is everything ok with Ashley?
Craig: Yeah, great. So how about this one?
Ellie: It's great.
Craig: Just like you, El.
Ellie: Um... thanks?
(Craig moves closer to Ellie)
(Jimmy comes in)
Ellie: Jimmy!
Jimmy: Ellie! (Chuckles) What's up?
Ellie: Just happy to see you.
(She kisses him)
Jimmy: Hmm... I'm happy to see you too.
(They kiss again)
Craig: Uh... guys, I think I might...
(He leaves quickly)
Jimmy: Oh well...
(Next day at school)
(Kendra is walking down the hall looking down)
(J.T. walks up to her)
J.T.: Hey honey... are you ok?
Kendra: Yeah, I'm fine.
(Bell rings)
Kendra: Talk to you later, J.T.
J.T.: Ok, but Kendra-
Kendra: Bye.
(She walks away)
(In homeroom)
Ellie: Do you have any idea why Craig was being so weird yesterday?
Jimmy: No... but...
Ellie: But what?
Jimmy: He told me he wants to break up with Ashley.
Ellie: Oh. Makes sense now.
Jimmy: Yeah... but I think he wants to break up with Ash...for you.
Ellie: What! But, Jimmy, he knows we're together.
Jimmy: Yeah... but at the gallery...
Ellie: Oh yeah. I see your point. Well... maybe I should talk to him.
Jimmy: No, I will. Don't worry. It'll be ok. I promise.
(Bell rings)
(At lunch)
(Kendra is sitting alone)
J.T.: Kendra? Will you please talk to me?
Kendra: Sure. What's wrong?
J.T.: What! I should be asking you that question!
Kendra: J.T., I have to tell you something.
J.T.: Ok, what?
Kendra: My mom... made me get an abortion...
