CLASSMATE 2

Was Stacy raped?

JODY:

I dunno. My dad never came home

last night.

Jody's POV - Kenny takes Sharon's hand for a second.

CLASSMATE 1(O.C.)

I bet she was. I heard someone

stuffed a tent spike up her ass.

CLASSMATE 2(O.C.)

Gives new meaning to the idea

of getting 'nailed'.

CLASSMATE 1(O.C.)

Ha-ha. So funny. Sickfuck.

Jody doesn't respond. She stares at Kenny.

Jody's POV - Kenny walks into school with Sharon.

CUT TO:

INT. HOMEROOM

Jody enters her homeroom, still upset.

Her teacher LEONARD MARLISTON is lecturing the class. Leonard is twenty-

five and quite hip looking for a teacher. He has long somewhat stringy

brown hair. He is a bit thin and is dressed casually, almost in hippy

attire. He wears wire-rim glasses and lace-up boots.

MR. MARLISTON

No one understands what leads people

to do irrational things. We only

know that unpunished violence

festers, then explodes.

Jody sits down in the back.

MARLISTON(CONT'D)

Witness the L.A. Riots. Years of

police brutality in forty-eight hours. Jody?

JODY:

Yes Mr. Marliston?

MR. MARLISTON

Your dad's in the principal's office.

He wants to see you.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

Brent is talking to TOM SISLER, the principal. Tom is a wiry, hard

featured man in his mid-forties. They have known each other for a long

time but are not really friends. Brent knows Tom too well. Tom's a cynical

bastard.

Tom is examining the photos taken at the crime scene.

TOM:

You aren't planning to tell these kids

that 'virgin' was tattooed into both Stacy

and Rod, are you?

BRENT:

No.

TOM:

Good.

BRENT:

But I am going to have to question

all of their past boyfriends and girlfriends.

TOM:

Fine, just don't mention the carving

This is going to be a tough enough day

as it is.

There's a knock at the door. Jody enters.

BRENT:

Hi honey.

JODY:

Hi Daddy. Hi Mr. Sisler.

TOM:

Hi Jody.

BRENT:

I just wanted to check that

you were okay?

JODY:

I'm fine. I've just never had

someone my age die before.

It's so weird.

BRENT:

How well did you know Stacy and

Rod?

JODY:

I've been in the same class

with Stacy for years but we

weren't tight or anything.
