Scene 1: The Everett's House. Night

Adrian and Kristin are sitting on the bed. With a heated tremble, Adrian grips her arms and pushes her back onto the bed. He kisses her, softly at first, and then with a swift progression of intensity that made her cling to him. Kristin is nervous and hesitant, but she begins to become more comfortable and kisses back. Adrian begins to caress her body and begins to feel around her waste. He moves up to her chest and slowly begins to unbutton her shirt.

Adrian (whispering): If you want me to stop, tell me now.

Kristin (nervously): I'm fine.

Adrian continues to feel on her. Kristin turns her neck trying to hide how uncomfortable she really is. This allows Adrian to kiss on her neck, but she then sits up. Adrian looks confused.

Kristin: I'm sorry. We can't do this. I'm not ready.

Kristin springs from the bed and buttons her shirt. Adrian rises from the bed. He grabs his book bag and leaves out her room. Kristin can tell that he is upset. She flops onto the bed and falls back feeling humiliated.

Dev: You're right. I knew you could do it. You're going to past this test with flying colors.

Ivy: I'm sorry about my sister. I didn't think of this as a date if that mattered.

Dev: It's cool. I have my eyes on another girl. I think she's cool, but I might have messed it up.

Ivy: Don't worry. I think she might be more forgiving then you think.

Dev and Ivy smile at each other. Ivy looks down at her book and continues to take notes.

Dev: I'll go get us something to drink. I'll be right back.

Adrian: It's you again. How's the studying going?

Ivy: I wish I did not have to study, but it's going okay. You're here without your girlfriend?

Adrian: Yeah. She's busy with student council stuff as usual.

Ivy: If I were your girlfriend I would always make time for you.

Adrian begins to speak, but Dev returns to the table and hands Ivy a drink. Ivy glances at Adrian and collects her things.

Ivy: I should get going. My parents are somewhat strict about making it before curfew. It was nice talking to you Adrian.

She smiles at him and leaves out of the Dot. Adrian takes a seat.

Dev: So what's really going on with you and Kristin?
