LIBRARY
(Later. Jeremy puts a record on and then the music starts. They all start dancing around the library. This goes on for the duration of the song)
HEATING DUCT
(Rich is crawling back through the heating duct)
LIBRARY
(Jake, Brooke, Jenna, Christine, Michael, Chloe and Jeremy are sitting on the railing)
Chloe: Jeremy?
Jeremy: Yeah?
Chloe: Are you gonna write your paper?
Jeremy: Yeah, why?
Chloe: Well, it's kinda a waste for all of us to write our paper, don't you think?
Jeremy: Oh, but that's what Reyes wants us to do...
Christine: True, but I think we'd all kinda say the same thing.
Jeremy: (Smirks) You guys just don't want to write your papers, huh?
Jake: True, but, you're the smartest, right?
Jeremy: (With pride) Oh, well...
Jenna: We trust you...
(Jeremy glances over at Michael who nods in approval)
Michael: Yeah...
Jeremy: All right, I'll do it.
Brooke: Great! (She looks at Michael who looks back)
Brooke: Come on. (She drags him along)
Michael: Where're we going?
Brooke: Come on!
(In the back of the library, Brooke is cleaning the dark makeup from around Michael's eyes)
Michael: Don't stick that in my eye.
Brooke: I'm not sticking it, just close... just go like that...
(Brooke closes her eyes. Michael mimics her)
Brooke: Okay... (She puts the bronzer on him and he squeals)
You know you really do look a lot better without all that black crap around your eyes...
Michael: Hey! I like that black crap...
Brooke: But this looks a lot better...look up.
(Jeremy is still thinking about what he's going to write. Jake is just thinking, Chloe paints her nails, and Christine braids Jenna's hair. Brooke is still fixing up Michael)
Michael: Why're you being so nice to me?
Brooke: (She smiles) 'Cause you're letting me.
(Jeremy begins to write)
(Rich is in the closet, smoking. Jake opens the door and enters)
Rich: (Smirks) … You lost?
LIBRARY
(Jeremy is still busily preparing the essay. Chloe looks up from her nails and sees Michael with neater hair, a red hoodie, and is impressed. Michael walks towards Jeremy who is staring at him with his mouth hung open)
Jeremy: Wow.
Michael: ... Thanks.
CLOSET
(Jake kisses Rich, then he breaks the kiss)
Rich: Why'd you do that?
Jake: 'Cause I knew you wouldn't.
Rich: You know how Michael said before, how you can't think for yourself? (He nods) You, my friend, just thought for yourself.
Jake: (Chuckles) Shut up.
LIBRARY
Jeremy: So. What happened to you?
Michael: Why? Brooke did it. What's wrong?
Jeremy: Nothing's wrong, it's just so different. I can see your face.
Michael: Is that good or bad?
Jeremy: I-it's great!
(Brooke laughs at their awkwardness. Chloe puts an arm around her)
HALLWAY
(The eight are walking down the hall with their respective partners where they are met by Eric, sweeping up. Jeremy nods at him)
Eric: See ya, Jeremy...
Jeremy: Later Eric...
Rich: (to Eric) See you next Saturday...
Eric: You bet!
PARKING LOT
(Jake kisses Rich on the lips, gets into his dad's car and leaves. Jeremy and Michael kiss. Jeremy rips a patch off of Michael's hoodie and gets into the car. Michael's mom arrives and looks at Jeremy, then at Michael, and smiles.
Michael gets into the car and they drive off.
Chloe takes out one of her diamond earrings and puts it into Brooke's hand. They kiss and she gets into her car. Once she leaves, Brooke puts the earring in her ear. Jenna and Christine are kissing. Jenna smiles at her, gets on her bike, then rides off, and Christine walks in the opposite direction)
LIBRARY
(Mr. Reyes pick up Jeremy's essay and begins to read)
Jeremy: (voiceover) Dear Mr. Reyes, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.
FOOTBALL FIELD
(Rich walks off the field as Jeremy's monologue continues)
Jeremy: (voiceover) But what we found out is that each one of us is a geek...
Jake: (voiceover)...and an athlete...
Michael: (voiceover)...and a gamer...
Chloe: (voiceover)...a princess...
Rich: (voiceover)...and a dick...
Christine: (voiceover)...an actress…
Brooke: (voiceover)...a girl who likes PinkBerry…
Jenna: (voiceover)...and a gossip girl.
Jeremy: (voiceover) Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the SQUIP Squad.
(Rich walks across the football field as he thrusts his fist into the air and freezes there)
