FADE IN:

INT. BADER'S HOUSE - DAY

Bader is sitting at the kitchen table with his siblings and babysitters, looking dejected.

BADER:
Tashi Anderson is such a bully. She gave me a whole bunch of "I hate you" cards.

ANNIE:
Aw, that's terrible. But don't worry, we're here for you.

SHAIKHA:
[happy] I want Valentine's card too!

CALEB:
[chuckling] Don't worry, Shaikha. You'll have plenty of Valentine's cards in the future.

SLIM Z:
[action movie style] Speaking of Valentine's cards, I got a date with Emily Dobson!

EVERLEIGH:
[excitedly] That's amazing, Slim Z! I'm so happy for you.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
[still in shock] Wow, didn't see that coming. You're more of a ladies' man than I thought.

BADER:
[awkwardly] Um, guys, can we focus on me for a minute?

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[sympathetically] Yeah man, what's going on?

BADER:
[holding up card] Everleigh gave me a Valentine's card.

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[Shocked] And you didn't tell me? I know I go to bed early but you can still Wake me up and call me when something this important happens.

BADER:
[smirking] I wanted to tell you in person. I broke up a fight between her and this other dude

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[shocked] You broke up a fight? This is huge! Girls don't just give out Valentine's cards for no reason.

BADER:
[shrugging] I don't know, it's just a card.

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[laughing] A card is like saying "I'm yours for the taking". How in there do you have to be?

BADER:
[rolling eyes] Okay, okay. But why is it that when it comes to me, you know so much about girls, but you freak out when one gives you a card?

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[grinning] It's like not being able to cut your own hair. You know how it's supposed to look, but you can't do it yourself.

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY

Everleigh is standing with her friends when Bader comes up to her nervously, holding a Valentine's card.

BADER:
[clearing throat] Hey, Everleigh.

EVERLEIGH:
[turning around] Oh, hey Bader! What's up?

BADER:
[holding out card] I, uh, got you something for Valentine's Day.

EVERLEIGH:
[taking card] Aw, Bader, that's so sweet of you!

BADER:
[sweating] It's nothing much, really.

EVERLEIGH:
[reading card] "To my best friend". That's so cute!

BADER:
[smiling] Yeah, sorry I didn't put anything else on it.

EVERLEIGH:
[looking up] You know I'll always love you, Bader. But next year, don't just give me a card. Bring me everything!

Suddenly, Tashi and her friends walk in and see Bader and Everleigh.

TASHI:
[disgusted] Oh, look who it is. The loser and his clingy girlfriend.

EVERLEIGH:
[angrily] Excuse me?

TASHI:
[mocking] You heard me. You think you're so special, but you're just a pathetic little girl.

EVERLEIGH:
[defensive] I am not! And Bader isn't my boyfriend, he's my best friend.

TASHI:
[laughing] Yeah, right. He's obviously in love with you.

EVERLEIGH:
[confused] What are you talking about?

TASHI:
[smirking] The card, stupid. He's been pining over you for months.

EVERLEIGH:
[shocked] Bader, is this true?

BADER:
[frustrated] No, it's not! Tashi's just trying to cause trouble.

TASHI:
[scoffing] Whatever you say, loser.

Everleigh tears up the card and throws it in Bader's face.

EVERLEIGH:
[angry] I can't believe I trusted you!

BADER:
[reaching out] Everleigh, wait!

But she storms off, leaving Bader alone and humiliated in front of everyone.

CUT TO:

INT. BADER'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Bader is lying in bed, feeling sorry for himself. Caleb Johnston enters the room, looking concerned.

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[sitting down] Hey man, how you holding up?

BADER:
[groaning] Not great.

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[sympathetically] Yeah, Tashi really messed with your head.

BADER:
[bitterly] And Everleigh thinks I'm in love with her. How can I be in love with someone who hates me now?

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[smiling] Hey, don't worry about it. This is just a little speed bump on the road of life.

BADER:
[rolling eyes] Thanks for the inspirational speech, but it doesn't really help.

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[laughing] Okay, how about this: tomorrow, we're going to make things right with Everleigh.

BADER:
[perking up] Really? How?

CALEB JOHNSTON:
[smirking] You'll see. Just trust me.

FADE OUT.
