Life, and Average Story (part one)
INT.CAR-DAY 
 The (next) group we follow are a brother, his younger sister, and his girlfriend...
 
 The guy (BRIANT, 16), and his girlfriend (KARA, 17) wait in a BLUE car (make it an 90’s Oldsmobile!)
 
 A few seconds later, Briant’s sister (JESSICA,14) comes, she tries to open the door, but it’s locked, Briant has to open it manually (because, yes, his car is THAT old- it may not even have air bags). Kara throws her backpack into the car (it looks like it’s in rage)
 
 KARA
 (to Jessica)
 How was you day?
 
 JESSICA
 Moved like a narwhal. How ’bout
 you?
 
 KARA
 Like a Chupacabra.
 
 JESSICA
 Well that’s highly improbable,
 figuring that I AM the Chupacabra
 and it’s impossible for a day to
 work like me.
 
 KARA
 Interesting.
 
 JESSICA
 Yes it is. I know.
 
 Briant is trying to pull out of their school parking lot,
 but no one’s letting him in, this puts him into an "all
 caps" rage.
 
 BRIANT
 Why are people so stupid?
 
 KARA
 Maybe it’s because your face is
 stupid.
 
 JESSICA
 OOOOOO!
 
 BRIANT
 (sarcastic)
 Oooo, oooo, that one hurt.
 
 Briant palms Kara’s face (Briant is a lot bigger than both
 Kara and Jessica, his hand covers Kara’s entire face- it
 looks funnier than it sounds, trust me)
 
 Briant has an opening, he pulls out really fast, almost
 hitting the car that was going to pull up.
 
 BRIANT
 Ha! Take that b****!
 
 KARA
 Hey, watch your language, we have a
 little freshie in the car.
 
 BRIANT
 It’s my mouth, I’ll do what I want
 with it.
 
 JESSICA
 Based on your size, haven’t you
 done enough with your mouth
 already?
 
 KARA
 OOooohhh!
 
 JESSICA
 Oooohhh!
 
 BRIANT
 I would throw you out of this car
 right now if that wasn't one of the
 best comebacks I have ever heard.
 
 JESSICA
 Who, Kara or me?
 
 BRIANT
 Both.
 Jessica and Kara high five.
 
 Briant keeps driving.
 Kara turns on the radio.
 
 BRIANT
 (directed to Jessica, but he
 can’t look at her)
 Are we dropping you off at your
 little media thingy?
 
 JESSICA
 Yeah.
 
 KARA
 Shut up! I love this song!
 
 Kara turns up the song. She starts singing to it (really out of tune and just as loud as the radio is)
 
 (If it ends up being the song Some Nights, Jessica and
 Briant will join in with her singing- and be just as off tune as she is, if it’s Fallin to Pieces then Kara is going to add her little twist to the song - like saying "I’m all choked up- because I have a dime in my throat,but you’re okay, I’m falllliiiin to pieeeeeces- because a serial killer chopped me up, yeah I’m faaaaallliiin to pieeeeeces....." and so on)
 
 EXT. 8-18 MEDIA-DAY 
 
 Briant pulls into a parking spot, parallel parked.
 
 BRIANT
 Oh, look at that skill right there.
 
 JESSICA
 Like magic, Briant, like magic.
 
 Jessica grabs her backpack.
 
 JESSICA
 Thank you Kara for making my day
 with that wonderful song. (fake
 crying) goodbye, I’ll miss you.
 
 KARA
 (said obviously)
 I’m going to your house today, I’ll
 be there when you get back.
 
 JESSICA
 Oh..... well then!
 
 Jessica leaves, Briant manually locks the door, they pull away and Jessica walks inside the 8-18 Media building.
