Ruby Sue looks back at them, making accusatory eye contact at

Seth. He quickly averts his gaze.

CHEMISTRY TEACHER (CONT’D)

We’re gonna be switching seats in a

minute to pair up for lab partners

so it really doesn’t matter where

you sit right now.

Seth looks back at Odie. Odie winks at him, knowingly.

The chemistry teacher walks back up front. The kid jabs Seth

in the ribs with the knob of his crutch.

KID ON CRUTCHES:

F*** you, Novacelik. F***ing creep.

Seth takes the shot and cringes. We fade out as the teacher

starts his count.

INT. CHEMISTRY CLASS - LATER

Seth, now sharing a desk with Ruby Sue spots Odie at a desk

with Brie. The plan worked. They silently celebrate, flashing

heavy metal horns to each other.

They stop as soon as the girls look up. Once the boys put

their heads down, the girls make gag faces at each other.

SETH:

Some of these assignments might

require us to meet up outside of

class. So you’ll have to pick me

up. Still working on the license.

RUBY SUE:

Look, I don’t know what kind of

scam you and your weirdo friend

pulled back there to get partner’d

with me and Brie... but it tells me

you’re pretty smart.

SETH:

Guilty.

RUBY SUE:

This chemistry stuff probably comes

really easy for you doesn’t it?

SETH:

I mean, yeah. I don’t drink or

smoke or go to parties or anything

like that so my brain is like, you

know, laser focused.

RUBY SUE:

You’re really amazing like a little

bit. I’m terrible at science.

She touches his arm. A jizz rocket shoots down his spine.

RUBY SUE (CONT'D)

Get me an A in this class and I’m

gonna owe you a lot of favors.

All Seth hears is handjoes. He fumbles with a beaker,

catching it just before it falls off the table.

RUBY SUE (CONT’D)

Yeah, another bad grade is gonna

kill my GPA. I’ll probably be stuck

in this town forever.

7.

SETH:

Not on my watch. And my watch has

Dave Mustaine on it.

He flashes his Megadeath watch. He’s that clueless.

RUBY SUE:

I don’t know how to interpret that.

SETH:

Have no fear. Chem-master Seth is

here.

MOMENTS LATER:

Seth and Odie, sitting next to each other, working on the

assignment while...

RUBY SUE (O.S.)

Everybody’s eyes naturally go to

the top of the pyramid.

Ruby Sue and Brie sit together bullshitting.

RUBY SUE (CONT’D)

So I do this vogue thing then

transition into something like...

Hiyah! Sporty Spice.

Ruby throws a kick.

BRIE:

So much girl power.

The girls high five.

Seth works on the assignment while Odie brags.

ODIE:

See man? Chicks like these, they’re

begging for bad boys like us.

SETH:

Oh yeah, no doubt. Hey, can you

check my math on this?
