Swimfan Page #4

Synopsis: New Jersey high school senior Ben Cronin is a former juvenile delinquent, whose past criminal behavior was fueled by and for drug use. He credits the support of his now long time girlfriend Amy Miller and getting into competitive swimming as the primary reasons for turning his life around, which includes working part-time at the hospital where his single mother works. He has become the star swimmer of his high school team, so much so that scouts from Stanford University are coming in a week's time to watch Ben swim. Ben has a new swim fan in Madison Bell, a recent transfer student to Ben's high school. Despite Ben making it clear that he is in a committed relationship, Madison seduces him, the seduction to which he succumbs. They agree afterward that their encounter was a one-time only event, but Ben slowly comes to the realization that despite Madison's assertions to the contrary, she has more in mind with him. He feels her constant unspoken threats to expose their tryst and ultimatel

I'll put these in water.

Surprise!

Can you excuse me for a second?

How long has she been here?

About 20 minutes. Who is she?

It's great to finally

meet your mother.

What do you mean "finally"?

You just met me.

It doesn't feel that way.

How did you know

it was her birthday?

You told me.

At the party, remember?

Madison? I think you're

misunderstanding our relationship

in a fundamental way.

- We're friends?

- Right.

Friends. Exactly.

Friends see each other and are happy

when they stop by with flowers.

What's the problem?

You're coming on strong, you know?

You didn't think so when

we were in the pool.

I have a girlfriend.

I told you I had a girlfriend.

What are you saying?

Making love to me was a mistake?

I guess I am. I'm sorry.

You want to forget about it?

Pretend it never happened?

Maybe I was wrong about you.

Madison?

You won't tell anybody, right?

Tell anybody about what?

Ben, it's not good for him.

It's not good for me either.

Yeah, but don't crap on the carpet

every time you're sick.

Got a point. Sorry, buddy.

- You going into work later?

- Yeah.

- I'll see you.

- Okay. Bye.

Ben!

Now what?

How many times have I told you

to club lock this car?

I guess I forgot. I'm sorry.

Sh*t, Cronin. Get a grip.

Please enter your password.

You have 81 new emails.

Picture received.

Gotcha!

So here's what I think.

When school's over, we should

go to my empty, parentless house...

I have work.

Maybe afterwards.

My shift starts at six.

Tomorrow?

Is it the meet?

I thought a little release

was supposed to help you sleep.

I just got work. I'm sorry.

I'll let you get back to it.

I'll give you a call.

- I'm Randy, a friend of Josh.

- Right.

- He's told me about you.

- Really?

- Yeah, he did.

- Cool.

Well, I'll see you.

So you and Josh? That's cool.

Could we just sit down?

I want you to know that I know.

- You know?

- I know how freaked out you are.

I know why. It's because of

the other night, right?

Yeah.

I was pushing because

it's senior year.

I was afraid of losing you, but...

but we don't have to make plans now.

We can take everything one step

at a time. I'm fine with that.

I am.

That was my whole speech.

I practiced it and everything.

I don't deserve you.

- Thank you.

- It's true.

I've been looking all over for you.

What are you doing in here?

What's going on?

You're not returning my calls.

Are you mad about Josh?

I'm late for work.

He doesn't mean anything to me.

When I'm with him,

I pretend it's you.

Wow!

Did I do something wrong? Talk to me.

I have a lot going on right now.

Maybe too much.

What don't you get?

I'm trying to drop you.

You don't mean that.
