High School Possession Page #2

decide to walk through it.

Thanks again for letting me

be a fly on the wall tonight.

I don't really know what

there is to write about.

We're a pretty boring group.

Boring? With all of your youth

missions and volunteering?

I'm really glad I came.

I think it's good for people to

see a different side of things.

Hey, there's a party at

Kendall's house tomorrow night

if you're not busy.

I don't think I've spoken to Kendall

since like the second grade.

Well, she's my friend, so

if I invite you, it's cool.

You can bring your boyfriend, uh...

- Brad?

- Yeah.

Actually, things aren't going so

well with Brad and me right now.

Well, in that case,

maybe it'll help you

get your mind off things?

Maybe.

I should go. Thanks again.

Yeah.

My phone.

[distant scream]

[distant scream]

[screaming continues]

[screaming]

[scream]

No!

No! No!

No!

[whimpering]

No!

I sought the Lord,

and He answered me, and He

delivered me from all my fears.

[screams]

If you believe in Him

and all of His heavenly host,

the demons that are tormenting your body

will be cast out and

will plague you no more!

[screaming]

[screaming continues]

Late night, huh?

Apparently those church

kids know how to live it up

on a Friday night.

Hmm.

Well, how'd it go?

Um, fine.

Oh, no. We're not back to that

monosyllabic 14-year-old Lauren,

are we?

I thought it was interesting

and informative. Better?

Was that so hard?

So you ever think about,

you know, going back?

To church?

It's been a long time.

Those youth group kids

convert you last night?

No. I was just wondering.

I don't know.

Church was always more of your dad's thing.

After he died, you seemed to lose interest.

So do you have any plans for today?

Umm, I thought I'd go by the school paper.

You realize it's a Saturday, right?

I just, I want to catch up on my article.

Don't work too hard.

Okay.

[typing]

"Recently I had the opportunity

to attend one of the meetings

of the church youth group

to find out what being

a member of The Chosen

is really all about."

I adjure you,

every unclean spirit,

every satanic power,

in the name of Christ,

to cease your assault

upon the soul he made

- for his own...

- [knocking]

Don't tell me you got nothing

better to do on a Saturday

than to hang out here.

Uh, I'm just working on this article.

Yeah? How'd that go anyway?

- Uh, you mean The Chosen?

- Yes.

You know, it really wasn't that bad.

They actually help people.

You know, it's not gonna

be the same without you.

I mean, NYU, that's... that's...

that's across the country.

Um, I'm gonna actually

finish this up later.

Look, Lauren, I, uh...

I'll see you at Kendall's party.

Okay.

[rock]

I bet you need one of

these after last night.

Did you sit around and

drink orange Kool-Aid

and sing "Jesus Loves Me?"

Um, "Kumbaya," actually.

All right, seriously, how'd it go?

Did something happen?

Are we interrupting

anything? Please say yes.

- We'll talk about it later.

- All right.

Mrs. Brady looking stunning, per usual.

Oh, and they say chivalry is dead.

Well, uh, drink up.

- I don't drink.

- I know. Try it.

- Mmm!

- Virgin mojito.

No-jito.

No-jito.

Well, it's my specialty.

Oh, being a virgin or making no-jitos?

- Ohh!

- Ouch!

It sounded cooler in my head.

Yeah, I bet that happens to you a lot. Huh?

You know, it's my adorable bad boy thing.

It's why you find me totally irresistible.

Or like not at all.

One of these days I'm gonna

stop being so damn charming.

Then where you gonna be?

Hey!

Quality shindig, princess.

So where are the parents this time? Brazil?

Seattle. Two weeks.

Can I please send my mom up there, too?

Absolutely. Mase, I've been

looking for you all night.

Come here, I want you to meet somebody.

All right, would you please

get your head out of the sand

and get on that before it's too late?

What? No.

Wow. I can't believe she actually came.

Olivia!

Hey!

What are you doing?

You guys are besties, right?

Stop it.

Hi, guys.

All right, well, um,

I'm gonna go break some commandments,

and you two crazy kids have a good time.

Hey, you made it.

I made it.

Not really my style,

but here I am, seeing

how the other 99.9% sins.

That was a joke.

Oh, yeah. Totally.

Um, well, let me show you around.

- Yeah.

- Come on.

Oh, hey, guys. How'd

the rest of the game go?

As if you care.

VOICE:
You're very bad.

What's that supposed to mean?

You didn't seem to care when

you cost us our best shot

at winning district.

You want me to mess up that

pretty little face of yours,

just say the word.

You're crazy.

Get off of me!

No! Stop it!

Get off!

I think you broke my nose!

Did she break my nose?

[continues]

Hey, has anyone seen Chloe?

Oh, not since she went all

WWE on Erin in the kitchen.

Thanks.

Hey, if you find her,

tell her maybe we can get a

little mud wrestling going on.

Funny.

Did you see what just

happened in the kitchen?

Your friend is out of control.

You haven't seen her, have you?

I think she went upstairs.

Hey, Chloe, you up there?

Lose your friend?

She's probably passed out somewhere.

- Are you leaving?

- Yeah.

You know, it was really

sweet of you to invite me,

but this really isn't my scene.

I think I'm just gonna head home.

Okay, well, I'm glad you

came. I'll see you around?

Sure. And I'm really looking

forward to that article.

Thanks.

Brad?

Olivia, what are you doing here?

I suppose I could ask

you the same question.

Hey Brad, where are you going?

Chloe.

Olivia, I can explain.

Hey Mother Teresa, don't let

the door hit you on the way out.

Hey, wait.

Wait for what? More humiliation?

- I just wanna make sure you're okay.

- Oh, yeah, I'm great.

Glad I finally got to see

what I've been missing.

How could she do that to me?

I know that Brad and I have

been having some problems lately,

but I just... I don't understand

Chloe's not like that,

okay? She's a good person.

- Yeah, obviously.

- Look, she's had a lot happen to her.

And she's just not herself.

I know she's been a little out of control.

A little?

[scoffs]

Good night, Lauren.

VOICE:
Look at you.

Already?

Do you really think that

drink is gonna help you?

Everyone's looking at you.

It's all your fault.

Everything is your fault.

[laughter]

Come here.

Um, it's, uh...

Come on.

I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to...

Just... Just go.

How's Olivia?

Upset.

I don't even know why I did that.

What's happening to me?

Let me drive you home, okay?

I don't have a home.

- Chloe, we can get through this.

- We?

- Yeah.

- We are nothing alike.

Chloe...

You are this, like, perfect person,

and I'm...

this.

Let's just go, okay?

VOICE:
You're bad.

[multiple voices whispering]

You're a bad person.

You'll always be, Chloe.

[coughs]

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Hey, you okay?

So how was the big party?

Relax. I'm still 17 minutes

under the curfew wire.

Now, Chloe's mom is worried sick.

She said that Chloe's

been acting very strange
