-[Angelita]

Hey.

-[Crybaby]

Hmm?

-[Celeste]

You there?

-[Crybaby]

Yeah

- [Angelita]

(painful sigh)

-[Crybaby]

You ok?

-[Angelita]

Ahh, I feel so sick. Like this is the worst stomach pain I’ve ever experienced.

-[Crybaby and Celeste]

Ohhhh...

(The three of them enter the bathroom.)

-[Angelita]

Ugh, why right now!?

-[Celeste]

Well... I mean it had to happen sometime.

-[Crybaby]

It says there’s one tampon left. Do either of you have any change?

-[Celeste and Angelita]

No...

(Crybaby sighs. She then opens the machine by herself.)

-[Angelita]

Yes!

-[Crybaby]

It’s f***ing empty. Whatever. Who knows what kind of crazy sh*t’s in them anyways.

-[Celeste]

I mean yes, toxic shock is real, but still tampons should be free.

-[Angelita]

What do I do now?

-[Crybaby and Celeste]

Toilet paper.

-[Angelita]

Mmmph.

-[Celeste]

You good in there?

-[Angelita]

Yeah

-[Celeste]

You sure?

-[Angelita]

Yeah, I’m almost done

-[Celeste]

Need me to get you another roll of toilet paper?

(Crybaby laughs)

-[Angelita]

That’d be great, yeah.

-[Crybaby]

I think I’m going to be late for class.

-[Angelita]

Empathize with me a little!

-[Crybaby]

I’m sorry.

-[Angelita]

Okay. Ummm...

-[Crybaby]

Cute sweater. Where’d you get that from?

-[Angelita]

Just whipped a little something up. What? I wasn’t going to walk around looking like I sat in raspberries all day.

(The door opens and one of the nurses enters. She looks at everyone, and then heads into a stall.)

-[Nurse]

Get back to class! You little b*tch

-[Angelita]

You guys. I don’t know how long I can go using this toilet paper method. It’s so annoying. It keeps moving around down there

-[Crybaby]

Well, good thing you won’t have to deal with it much longer.

(Crybaby reveals that she stole a tampon from the nurse that walked in.)

-[Angelita]

Thank the Goddess!

-[Nurse]

Sh*t. Are you serious? F***!

(The scene changes to the lunch room.)

-[Boy]

Uhh... You go ahead. Let me know how it is

-[Girl]

Ok, I’ll cut you

[“LUNCHBOX FRIENDS”]

-[Crybaby]

Hey.

-[Celeste]

Thank God you’re back! I thought you were busy becoming a plastic carbon copy.

-[Crybaby]

This is Magnolia. Say hi.

-[Magnolia]

Nice to meet you ladies.

-[Celeste]

Welcome!

-[Angelita]

Hi...

(They glance at another girl sitting with the popular girls, but she appears to have the same powers as the rest of them.)

-[Crybaby]

Holy sh*t!

-[Angelita]

Is she—

-[Celeste]

One of us?

-[Crybaby]

But, how do we even go up to her? She’s sitting with Kelly!

-[Magnolia]

Food fight, anyone?

-[Crybaby]

Hmmmm.

-[Angelita]

Hmm

-[Celeste]

I like this girl.

(All of them laugh.)

-[Angelita]

Hmm?

-[Crybaby]

What? So I just throw it?

-[Angelita]

Pretty sure that’s how food fights go down.

-[Celeste]

Yeah, take it, take it, take it.

-[Crybaby]

Ok, fine. Ok. Three... Two... One... I don’t know.

-[Magnolia]

Just do it already!

-[Crybaby]

Okay!

(Crybaby throws a plate of food, and it hits Maya.)

-[Maya]

Oww!

-[Blue boy]

Food fight!

-[Kelly]

You’re f***ing kidding me! You’re all heathens!

-[Magnolia]

I’m gonna get in on this!

-[Celeste]

Uh uh, not with this hair. I just had wash day.

-[Crybaby]

Okay, so should we go up to her?

-[Kelly]

Get out of my way!

-[Angelita]

She’s leaving with Kelly. Let’s go after them

-[Celeste]

Yea, let’s just start a parade. No. Crybaby, I think you need to do this alone

-[Crybaby]

Okay. Wish me luck.

-[Magnolia]

Alright, good luck b*tch.

-[Celeste]

So barbaric.

-[Magnolia]

Are you sure I can’t?

-[Celeste]

If you don’t put that floor spaghetti down...

-[Magnolia]

Man.

[“ORANGE JUICE”]

-[Crybaby]

Wanna know something I’ve learned about bodies? They don’t define us. We aren’t our bodies. They’re just temporary. I know it seems impossible, but try not to expect shallow people to love you. They don’t even have the capacity to understand how amazing you are. And we all have to learn to love ourselves without the approval of others

-[Fleur]

I know. It’s just extremely overwhelming when everyone around you is making you feel like you aren’t good enough. As if you’re not deserving the same kind of love if you’re different

-[Crybaby]

Everyone is deserving of love. Everyone

(They both go back to the cafeteria, where the food fight is still going down.)

-[Angelita]

Crybaby, over here

-[Kid yelling]

Banana! Eat it! Nanananana!

-[Crybaby]

This is Fleur

-[Kelly]

Lucy! What did we talk about? Don’t touch me!

-[Lucy]

I know, I’m sorry. Isn’t that Crybaby with Fleur over there?

-[Kelly]

Ugh!

-[Celeste]

It’s crazy over there!

-[Crybaby]

It’s chaotic!

(The door opens to reveal the principal's son, Leo. Everyone freezes.)

-[Kid]

It’s Leo... It’s the principal’s son

-[Leo]

Who started this?

-[Kelly]

It was that b*tch, Crybaby. Behind the counter!

[“DETENTION”]

-[Teacher]

Shut up!

-[Celeste]

Okay, guys, I think I have a pretty good plan to get us out of this shithole. Angelita, I need you to keep everyone in the gym. Keep them in one place and try to keep them quiet—

-[Crybaby VO, reading a piece of paper in her locker]

I caught a sparkle of light in your eyes that day. I bathed in it, was transported to heaven’s gates by it, but I fall at my feet. My words shall only be composed. I can’t speak. My inner voice calling my outer self weak admiring from afar secretly—

-[Celeste]

Crybaby? Earth to Crybaby. Are you in?

-[Crybaby]

Yeah. Sorry!

-[Celeste]

Your job is to manipulate Satan himself into letting you into his office so we can hijack that loudspeaker and get everyone out of here.

-[Magnolia]

What’s that?

-[Crybaby]

I think it’s a love letter.

-[Magnolia]

A love letter from who?

-[Crybaby]

I don’t know. It doesn’t say.

-[Celeste]

Okay guys, back to the plan. We already got rid of the principal, so that just leaves Leo.

-[Celeste via monitor]

We walk into his office, make a run for it and then—

-[Angelita]

Set this place on fire?

-[Celeste]

Exactly

-[Fleur]

I don’t know about that guys

-[Crybaby]

I agree. Fire’s too cliché

-[Celeste]

I mean yeah, but at this point, what other options do we have?

[“TEACHER’S PET”]

(The scene shifts to the courtyard, where Crybaby and Angelita are smoking a joint.)

-[Angelita]

I hope we don’t get caught

-[Crybaby]

We should be fine.

...Do you ever wonder who we were to each other in a past life?

-[Angelita]

Oh, for sure. We’ve probably had hundreds of lives together.

-[Crybaby]

You could’ve been my mom.

-[Angelita]

Yeah, or we could’ve been...

-[Together]

Conjoined twins!

-[Crybaby]

And our parents sold us to a f***ing freak show!

-[Angelita]

That would explain a lot.

-[Crybaby]

That would. It’s crazy how many medical benefits mary jane has.

-[Angelita]

I know, and no one gives her any credit.

-[Crybaby]

We don’t deserve her.

-[Angelita]

Wow.

-[Crybaby]

Speaking of magical plants.
