Chapter 3
SCHOOL OF FILM - LATER
Mitchie moves down a hallway. Not your typical school building. Through open doorways, film equipment is glimpsed. Editing bays and the like. She's in the Film Department. She comes upon an open door and peers in. A large room, a class is in progress. She slips in quietly. Mitchie takes a seat at the back of the room. A hundred of film students sit around on torn couches heavy in discussion. Mitchie goes unnoticed as she watches a whirlwind debate.
-Sequels are too handicapped. By definition alone, they're inferior films-says one of the students . Caitlin sits on a couch next to Justin Russo , 20's, athletic and cool .
-That's Bullshit . Many sequels have surpassed their original.
-Name one.
-ALIENS Far better than the original.-
-Hard point .-says Justin .
-Life's hard… -The conversation overlaps, everyone arguing... making their point about different movies . As the teacher , a young artsy type, speaks up. - How about THE GODFATHER PART II? Ooooohhh. The whole room goes worship silent. All in agreement. -The almighty exception. Name another. -says the previous student .
A young man , handsome and smooth, jumps into the conversation. He's Shane Grey , ex rockstar , survivor of life .
-EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Smarter story. Improved effects.- he says a drops his rucksack dramatically , some of the girls in the room try to fix their hair , Justin sighs , and Caitlin rolls eyes .
From the back of the room, Mitchie watches him. Fixated.
-I liked JEDI but I'm pretty sure that's the only movie you have seen in your entire life Grey- she mocks at him .
-Gotta admit Geller he has a selling point right there - added Justin sizing up with Shane of course .
-I got. I got it. FRIDAY THE 13TH .
-Case in point. The entire horror genre was destroyed by sequels.-says the previous student . -Really? And why do you think that is?- asks the teacher .
-Simple it's all about the money and zero quality.
-It's more than that. Horror films are only as good as their villains. How can Freddie and Jason possibly be scary after they've been diluted through five or six sequels.-says Shane .
-So if you people would have a chance to make a sequel of the most horrible experience in your life . What would you do differently?and remember it cannot "suck"- says the teacher.
Some of the students think hard about this question , Caitlin looks at her best friend , she's lost in thoughts and Shane just looks everywhere but someone's eyes .
The class stews on this. Finally Shane turns, spotting Mitchie in the back of the room. She gives a half wave. He starts for her, excusing himself.
-The point is - I made my point. Sequels suck.
CORRIDOR
Shane and Mitchie move out into the hallway. Shane throws his arms around her protectively.
-How are you? You weren't in class. I called as soon as I heard...
- I skipped. Too many "That's her" looks.
-I'm sorry, baby. What can I do'?
-First of all don't call me baby here -she drops his arm off her -…Don't ask what you can do -
He looks at her with bedroom eyes.
-I can do that. And I can also do this.- He moves on her, wrapping her in his arms and kissing her passionately. She breaks away, laughing.
-Shane! No PDA.- But it's a failed objection. He kisses her again and they're soon devouring each other like two people in love. Right in the middle of the hallway.
STUDENT UNION - LATE AFTERNOON
The place is a circus. The front steps of the student center have been roped off to form a platform. A podium and mike have been placed center. Crowds have gathered for the press conference that is being held by the university. Reporters and cameras have been roped off to
the side. On stage, Dean Fisher a sharp looking woman in her forties is talking to spectators.
- ... and we feel this unfortunate isolated tragedy in no way reflects upon our fine school and we should trust that the authorities and FBI are acting quickly to bring us answers... -
Beside her stand uniformed COPS, the local SHERIFF, FBI AGENTS. She continues on...
Renee walks through the crowd, listening to the Dean.
-Renee? Can I have a second? - Renee spins around to find Denise Stevens , the flashy reporter who she decked earlier, standing in front of her.
-Look, I'm sorry about the face.
-Job hazard. Denise Stevens, stringer - NEWSWEEK. Answer a few questions? -
-Fair enough. -
-What are you doing here? I thought you had retired from field reporting?- The woman has immediately put Renee on the defensive. Other reporters have taken notice. Suddenly, cameras are on her . -Well, you know I'm dear to the subject matter.
-And much richer as a result.
-Do I know you? You look familiar.
-I took your vulture seminar at Berkeley last year.
-Good for you.- in seconds the vultures are upon her as Renee Skeeter is besieged by reporters . The questions spew forth. "Why are you here?" "Is this the work of a copycat killer?" "Have you talked to Shane and Mitchie ?" etc.
-Guys, you're missing the show.- and with that Renee wanders off into the crowd.
On stage the local sheriff a guy in his 50's is fielding questions.
-No, we have no evidence of a serial killer. We think the killer acted deliberately and not at random... -
Students and concerned faculty stand. Among them are Shane, Mitchie , Caitlin and Justin . Next to them stand is Barry, 20's, black, sensible and friendly. A very intelligent face.
-Shit , they are doing it again? He's talking but he's not saying anything.
-Sounds like they don't know anything.-added Barry .
-Do you think they'll cancel Hell Week?- ask Caitlin concerned .
-You're getting nailed - you're not getting out of it. - says Justin .
From across the way, two pretty well known girls approach them , Peggy and a clueless Ella stand there like they really cared about the situation , they probably don't know everything .. All looks and attitude. Their eyes are on Mitchie who they haven't talked since the accident on high school as they huddle in a conspiratory stance.
-Have they questioned you yet, Mitch?- asks Barry .
-This has nothing to do with me, Barry. There's an estimated 270 serial killers currently active in the US at any given time. I can't control that. Who's hungry? - she says as she share a glance with Shane .
- I have rehearsal.- says Caitlin .
-I have to watch rehearsal.- says Justin and Caitlin kicks him. Barry moves to Mitch.
-I gotta hit the library. Anatomy. Some of us have real majors. You gonna be okay, Mitch?
-You're not allowed to ask that.
-I'll stop by the Deltas tonight.
-Thanks, Barry.- Barry smiles, heading out as the two girls, Peggy and Ella saunter over.
-Hello, pledges. Enjoying yourselves? - Instantly, Caitlin stands at attention. MItchie joins begrudgingly.
-Yes, sister Peggy. Very much so. Thank you for asking.
-Good. We need your help, pledges. Are you familiar with the Deltas TP fundraiser?- asks Ella . The pledges shake their heads. Suspicious. Peggy withdraws two rolls of toilet paper from her book bag and passes them out.
-In our efforts to raise money for our favorite cause...
-... this week's TKE kegger...
- No ask that you sell individual squares of toilet paper for a mere nickel a piece.
-We've set you each at a five dollar quota.
-Come on, guys. Uncool.- says Justin .
-Am I getting fraternity interference, Justin?-asks Peggy .
-It's okay. I can peddle toilet paper.- says Mitchie .
-Mitchie, you don't have to.- added Shane . The girl takes her toilet paper.
-No special treatment. I can do this. C'mon Caitlin.- She throws Shane a comforting glance. She's okay with this. She heads off with Caitlin.
Shane watches and ask out of his trance . -How do you put up with this Greek shit?
-Hey, it's cool. Caitlin's into it, I'm into Caitlin…-says Justin smirking .
-You are unstoppable dude -says Shane .
