Cherry Falls Page #9

Jody heads toward the main school entrance. She starts noticing a lot of

kids are outside, a few more hidden from sight, having sex. Something's

up.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL

Jody opens her locker. Sandy comes running up to her, very excited.

SANDY:

You ok?

JODY:

(noticing Sandy's attire)

FINE. Are you?

SANDY:

Hurricane Hormone. it's flattened the

whole school. Guess what?

JODY:

What?

SANDY:

(whispering)

Mark invited me to the party.

JODY:

What party?

SANDY:

Shh. Ben's party. Tonight.

Haven't you heard?

JODY:

No.

Sandy notices that a teacher is nearby. Sandy pulls Jody into a stairwell.

INT. STAIRWELL

Jody is now really intrigued.

SANDY:

(whispering)

You can't tell your parents.

JODY:

Ok.

SANDY:

Especially not your dad.

JODY:

I won't.

SANDY:

(whispering)

It's like a pop your cherry party.

Everyone's saying it's 'F*** or Die' time.

JODY:

You're thinking of sleeping with Mark

tonight?

SANDY:

Unless he makes a move during

seventh period.

JODY:

Didn't you have something a little

more romantic in mind for your first

time?

SANDY:

(very excited)

I kind of like the idea that we can all

lose it together, on the same night.

It'll be a lot less scary. You have to

go.

JODY:

Stag?

SANDY:

Kenny'll want to go with you.

Cindy's holding a Q and A

session at the bleachers.

Come on.

JODY:

I can't right now.

SANDY:

Jody, you have to go to the party.

For your own safety.

Sandy takes off.

EXT. BLEACHERS

Cindy is setting with a group of girls, the center of attention.

CINDY:

You all are such hypocrites.

All year long you sit on your

judgmental little butts and

call me the slut from hell.

NOW YOU RUN TO ME, quaking in fear,

BEGGING for advice...

HYPOCRITE GIRL 1

Yeah. SO?

HYPOCRITE GIRL 2

What were we supposed to call you

Cindy?

GIRL 1

The slut from heaven?

GIRL 3

Just answer our questions please?

Sandy runs up.

CINDY:

(loving the role)

What do you want to know?

GIRL 3

What to do.

CINDY:

You have to do everything

Boys are totally clueless when

it comes to sex.

This answer terrifies the audience.

CINDY(cont'd)

It starts with them trying to

unhook our bras, fumbling around,

and never changes. Wait until they try

to put their d*cks in you.

GIRL 2

Please don't say they need our help

with that.

CINDY:

Always. Unless you want them to just

poke around endlessly.

The girls had no idea.

INT. CAR

Three stoners are smoking a bowl in their car. They are not nearly as

collaborative or supportive of one another as the girls were.

BOY 1

Romeo here asked me if chicks has two

holes or three.

BOY 2

I did not.

BOY 1

You did so.

BOY 2

I was kidding.

BOY 3

Were not dude.

BOY 1

I know it's a total bummer

that three kids are dead, but, I'm sorry,

this is kind of great.

BOY 3

I'm way into this. This may be the best

of all possible worlds.

BOY 2

No. The killer could be offing

chicks who haven't given head.

They all laugh again and nod, slapping hands, Beavis and Butt-head style.

BOY 2

Then I'd only have to worry about

one.

They all laugh again.

EXT. PARKING LOT

Two HOMELY GIRLS, one rail thin, the other slightly overweight, walk back

towards the school.

HOMELY GIRL 1

We'll meet someone at the party.

HOMELY GIRL 2

You don't know that.

HOMELY GIRL 1

If we don't, we sit back and watch

everyone else camel.

That's got to be better than

hanging at your house.

HOMELY GIRL 2

I'm not going.

They notice a group of kids huddled around a car.

HOMELY GIRL 1

What's that?

They walk up.

'VIRGIN' has been written in blood on one of the windshields. A mutilated

boy looks out of the driver's window of the car. The girl's faces go

white. IT'S ANOTHER BODY!

More and more kids gather around the murder site. The kids are all

freaked, giving each other the eye. No one wants to be next.

All of a sudden the body moves, screaming to the heavens, freaking all the

kids out. The dead body leaps out of the car and runs away as other kids

and teachers run over. Everyone heard the scream.

Homely girl 2 whispers to her friend.

HOMELY GIRL 2

(whispering)

Ok. Pick me up at seven.

INT. CORRIDOR

Chaos has taken over the school. Hardly anyone is still going to classes.

Kenny is standing in the hallway, looking for Jody. He knows her class

schedule and that she'll be passing by.

Jody appears from her classroom. She starts toward Kenny, at first not

noticing him.

Jody looks up and she sees him. She stops. She knows what he's there to

talk to her about. He runs over to her.

KENNY:

(very concerned)

Are you O.K.?

JODY:

I'm fine.

KENNY:

I heard you got attacked.

JODY:

I did.

KENNY:

I was worried about you.

Did you hear about the bash?

JODY:

Yeah. I think it's really sick.

KENNY:

Why?

JODY:

Three of our classmates are dead.

That's not really the occasion

for a party.

KENNY:

Nobody wants to be the fourth.

Please go with me.

JODY:

Did Sharon say no?

KENNY:

You know I want to go with you.

JODY:

I'm so flattered but I can't.

I'm grounded.

KENNY:

Everyone's grounded. There's a

killer on the loose.

JODY:

No I'm really grounded.

When I got in late the other night,

my father was waiting up for me.

He grabs her passionately.

KENNY:

If you don't want to go with me just

say so. Say 'Kenny, I DON'T WANT TO MAKE

LOVE TO YOU' but don't use your dad as an

excuse. I'm so sick of it.
