Tragedy Girls Page #7

---

They've never been fantastic.

[Sighs]

It's like a thousand degrees

in here.

Um, um, listen,

there's something

that I have to tell you.

Come on, you got this.

I have something

I need to tell you, too.

Okay.

Um, you want to go first?

I don't think

that's a good idea.

- You go.

- Okay.

Um, something McKayla said

the other day...

My mom's death has

never been ruled a murder.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that I think

she knows more than she lets on,

about what's happening,

about who's killing people.

But she was just a kid

when your mom passed away.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

I-I know it sounds crazy,

and I know that you want

to protect her,

but maybe she knows the killer.

What makes you say that?

Okay, the morning

after Syl's death,

she had splatter stains

on her shoes.

And to be fair, I didn't get

a good look at it, but...

Oh, you'll get

a good look at it.

In the town meeting,

she sent a text, like,

right before everyone got

a picture of Big Al dead.

People text all the time.

Okay. All right?

Does everyone have

a second unregistered

cellphone in their backpack?

- I f***ing knew it!

- What?

- Yeah. [Sighs]

- What did you see on it?

Nothing yet. It's locked,

and I haven't finished

cracking it.

I probably shouldn't be

telling you this,

but I kind of broke

into the school

and I got her psych profile

while everyone

was doing the march.

- Those are private!

- I know, I know,

I must seem insane right now,

but I think

there might be something

seriously wrong with her.

She's got, like,

a lot of red flags.

That doesn't mean anything.

Just stop defending her, okay?

Look, if she has something

to do with this,

or if she's working

with someone,

I think they might be

ramping up to something big.

- You're being crazy, J.

- No, I just...

I know what it's like

to lose someone

that you really care about.

And I don't know

if I could live with myself

if anything happened to you.

- [Sighs]

- You don't mean that.

No, I do.

I mean, I think

you're pretty much

the most amazing, brilliant,

unique person I've ever met.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I think you're special.

To me, at least.

And you have really good taste

in obscure movies,

and, like,

your hair is, like, super cool.

And I...

[Thud]

[Moaning]

Ugh. Vom.

Lehmann?!

- Did you hear that?

- No, what?

Listen.

[Footsteps approaching]

- [Knock on door]

- Sh*t.

Uh, one second, Dad.

Shh!

- What the...

- [Grunts]

[Sighs]

[Breathing heavily]

- Jordan!

- [Snoring]

[Sword shings]

Aaaah!

Sh*t!

Aaah!

Aaaah!

[Thud]

[Moaning]

Jordan.

Hold on there, son.

[Breathing heavily]

What you doing here?

She saved my life.

[Breathing heavily]

Thank you.

Yes, uh, I need an ambulance

at 461 Cedar Lane.

We have one person bleeding

from a large knife wound.

[Breathing heavily]

In the two weeks since

the attack at my home,

there have been no new sightings

of the so-called

Rosedale Ripper.

I'd like to acknowledge

the bravery and forthrightness

of Rosedale's

very own Sadie Cunningham.

[Cheers and applause]

Sadie!

I was humbled to witness

her courage firsthand

as she fought off her attacker.

I am eternally indebted to you

for saving my son's life.

[Cheers and applause]

Go, Sadie!

Hi. Trish, Channel 5.

I just want to know,

what's next for

the Tragedy Girl?

Uh, actually, it's...

I mean...

I'm going to continue

to fight for what's right

and really work to make

the community a safer place.

You know?

[Crowd cheers]

Madam President,

can I speak to you for a moment?

Sure.

- What's up, M-Kay?

- We need to talk.

- Not now. We're at school.

- Who cares?!

Lower your voice.

They're watching me.

[Scoffs]

B*tch, you love it.

I saw you

up there on that podium.

What, are you jelly?

I am so not jelly.

Is this about

the Tragedy Girl thing?

[Sighs]

Look at you, dude.

Hooking up with that loser

out of pity.

See, I thought you were

the one with the plan.

The vision? A night to remember?

Not just cut and run

when sh*t gets real.

Okay, last I checked, it was me

who had to mop up your mess.

We'll discuss this later.

We wouldn't have

a mess to mop up,

had you had the guts to...

had you had the guts

to buy the gold balloons

like we had talked about.

See, I for one,

don't want my prom

to look like the inside

of your ratchet-ass trailer.

[Scoffs]

You're such a clich!

Don't blame me because

your part of our plan

is always boring and uninspired.

Okay, there is nothing special

about what you do!

You only hold me back!

Well, I've never needed you.

We don't need you.

[Scoffs]

F*** you, Sades.

[Metal clatters]

F*** these stupid f***ing stars!

What the f***

are you looking at?!

What?!

It's over

You're lying

on a cold shoulder

Let's do whatever

to forget her

She's leaving you,

just let her

'Cause you're better off

[Cheers and applause]

Come over

If you don't want to,

then we won't stay sober

Penny's working at the bar

We can go dressed

just how we are

Forget that girl

who broke your heart

Oh-oh-oh, I don't want to see

you waste another day

Your heartbreak,

your heartbreak

I don't want to see you

waste another day

I've seen you

Be the life and soul

of every party that you go

I know it's dark

inside your head

Replaying

everything she said

So come out with me instead

Oh, I don't want to see

you waste another day

I know it's sad, baby

Come on, we can dance it off

Everybody's feeling lost

[Tires screech]

[Engine shuts off]

[Knock on door]

Uh, hi, Mr. Cunningham.

Uh, just here to pick up Sadie.

Uh, uh, J-Jordan.

Jordan Welch.

Uh, we've met a couple times.

My dad's the... sheriff.

[Clears throat]

Uh, one time in middle school,

you told me, like,

"Stay away from my daughter."

[Chuckles]

Uh, I'm here...

I'm here for prom.

- Um...

- Sadie!

[Sighs]

It's a great house

you have here.

- [Chuckling] Hey.

- Hi.

Uh, could we get a picture

real quick if that's okay?

There you go.

[Sighs]

You got to tap the screen.

It's just a little...

little tap on the screen.

- Uh...

- Here.

- [Camera shutter clicks]

- [Chuckles]

- That's great.

- [Chuckles]

- Dinner's in the fridge, Pop.

- Thanks, sweetheart.

Bring her home safe.

Yeah. Yes.

[Chuckles]

[Engine sputtering]

[Engine starts]

There we go. Okay.

And...

There we go.

It really is an art form.

Easing off the clutch.

Ease off the clutch.

- Ease off the clutch!

- [Laughs]

[Chanting] Prom! Prom!

Prom! Prom!

- Prom! Prom! Prom!

- Your ride's here!

Don't rush her.

- Oh! Look at my baby girl!

- Aww, look at that girl!

Angelica ain't got nothing

on my baby.

- [Laughs]

- Look at you.

- Cut it out, guys.

- Oh, you only go to prom once.

And I cannot believe

those boys at your school

were too afraid to ask you out.

- Why you got to bring that up?

- I'm just saying,

they shouldn't be afraid

of a beautiful woman.

Well, it's just, you know,

things got a little crazy,
