Bobby
That sucks!
jake
Your birthday party is tomorrow night too!
mike
From the way my dad was talking, I’m surprised he didn’t call the cops on me.
Bobby
I’m just glad I can get trashed!
mike
We’ll still have the party; I just won't drink…or will I???
push me kid
Kevin, you seriously need to start sticking up for yourself, or you’ll have to find somewhere else to sit.

When are you going to start being the mom around here instead of me?
Heather’s mom slaps Heather.
Heather’s mom
Don’t tell me how to be a mom.
heather
Someone needs to.
heather’s mom
It’s not my fault that your father left us.
heather
When is this going to stop? What is it with you and alcohol? What is it with my friends and alcohol? I don’t understand. Why does everyone think that alcohol is the answer? It certainly hasn’t been the answer in this family.
Heather’s mother throws a chair at her.
Heather’s mom
Look Heather; I know I have a problem…do you think I’m proud…
Heather
Then get some help!
Heather’s mom
I don’t want it. I don’t need your help. I don’t need help from anybody. I’m going to bed.
Heather’s mom goes to her room. Heather cries.
fade in and out of black:

Get in the car!
Kevin looks down at his books.
kevin
Ok.
Kevin gets into his car.
Kevin
Thanks.
mike
It’s the least I could do.

Actually, the least you could do is throw your breakfast at me.
Mike
I know I’ve been a jerk to you, which is why I want to know why you did that for me last night.
Guy in car
Creepy.
Kevin
I don’t know. I just did.
Mike
What can I do to make it up to you? What do you want?
Kevin
I don’t want anything from you. I just want to know what makes you and your friends cool, and me a loser.
mike
So its popularity you want.
kevin
I didn’t say that…but what if that is what I want?
Mike laughs hysterically.
mike
Oh…you’re serious. Well…this is awkward. What if I could help you? How about I take you to a party this weekend.
kevin
Yeah right. All of your friends will be jerks to me.
mike
Then how about I take you out to Britney’s party.
kevin
The class president? Who is going to be there? Are people going to be drinking?
mike
Do you have a problem with that?
kevin
No. I just don’t drink because I don’t see the point.
mike
Hey, well that’s cool. So I will see you Friday.

I’ll think about it.

Chessboard kid
Checkmate. Pay up.
Choir boy hands chessboard kid $5.
Food kid
So Mike seriously invited you to go to a party with him?
Kevin
Yeah.
Chessboard kid
You know that the only reason they invited you is so that they can humiliate you.
Kevin
I don’t know.
Push me kid
I think it’s a bad idea. You are crazy!
Choir boy
Boy. Boy. Crazy boy.
everyone

Maybe I am being crazy.

Dew and throws cans into pile of 200. People drinking. Some guy stumbles and spills beer on Heather. Drunk guy laughs hysterically.
kevin
Dude. You jerk! Why are you laughing?
drunk guy
Because I didn’t get alcohol spilt all over me. HA HA HA
Drunk guy stumbles away.
kevin
Are you OK?
heather
I’ll be all right. I should have known not to come to this party.
kevin
I’m really sorry. Is there something I can do for you?
heather
Don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault. I’m just sick of all this. I don’t have any other clothes and it doesn’t look like Tiffany will be able to take me home for a while.
kevin
I would take you home, but I came with Mike. I feel really bad. Are you sure there’s nothing I can do for you?
heather
No.
kevin
This really sucks. Can I walk you home?
heather
You don’t have to do that.
Kevin
I really don’t mind. I’m not having much fun, and I would like to help you.
heather
Well, if you really want to…
kevin
Lets go.

Let me tell Tiffany I’m leaving.

DISSOLVE TO:

They walk silently for a brief while.

It’s freezing out here.
kevin
You want my coat?
heather
That’s all right.
kevin
Seriously. Take it. I’ll be fine.
heather
I don’t want you to be cold.
Kevin shoves the coat into her hands.
(pause)
heather
So what’s up with you and Mike?
kevin
What do you mean?
heather
I thought you guys hated each other.
kevin
I don’t know. He used to be a jerk to me, but now…
heather
Now what…?
kevin
I don’t know.
(pause)
heather
Anyway, I’m glad you were there tonight. I didn’t want to be the only sober person there.
kevin
I was surprised by how many people were drinking.
heather
Everyone drinks. It’s ridiculous.
kevin
A lot of people do.
heather
I don’t understand what makes so many different people want to do it.
Kevin
Peer pressure.
heather
I don’t believe in peer pressure.
kevin
Some people will do anything to be accepted.
heather
It tears me up to see so many good kids ruining their lives with something as temporary as alcohol.
kevin
I don’t know. I don’t drink or anything, but I also don’t see what is so destructive about alcohol. I mean, all sort of people drink. It’s not just the jocks and it’s not just the C students. It’s also the honors students, art students, choir kids…even the chess club drinks.
heather
That’s what I hate. So many people drink, even while most of them know what could happen. They think that there is no way it could happen to them.
kevin
Haven’t you wanted a chance to be someone else? To do something crazy without worrying or being afraid? Doesn’t it sound like freedom when your actions can be blamed on something other than yourself?
They sit down.
heather
I don’t know. I have felt like that before, but it’s not worth it to me. Alcohol isn’t freedom; it’s slavery. Alcohol ruins people’s lives. I have a friend whose mom is an alcoholic. The alcohol controls her. She can’t help my friend; she can’t even help herself. And being a mom is completely out of the question.
Heather starts crying.
Why does she have to suffer because of a mom’s dependence?
kevin
I know you’re right. I see your point. Maybe you should focus on the good of people. There’s people like you and me who don’t drink. There’s people who do drink. That doesn’t reflect on who they really are.
Kevin puts arm around Heather.
Heather you are a wonderful person. You’re smart; you’re artistic, and fun. You’re beautiful and I’m having a great time tonight. Now let’s get you home. It’s cold out here and you should get some rest.
heather
Thanks you so much Kevin. You have been wonderful tonight. I’m really glad we could talk tonight.
They arrive at the house.
This is my house.
(pause)
So I guess this is goodnight.
Heather gives him a big hug and gives him his coat. Heather walks to her door.
kevin
I guess I’ll see you Monday.
heather
Yeah, I’ll see you at school.
Heather goes inside and Kevin walks away. Heather walks into her house and finds her mom passed out on the couch with a beer bottle next to her.
heather’s house-next day
Heather wakes up early and is really happy. She can’t decide what to wear. She takes extra time getting ready. She leaves.

Kevin walks up to Chessboard.
kevin
What’s up?
chessboard kid
You jerk. You missed my chess tournament.
kevin
Sorry. I guess I slept in.
chessboard kid

Kevin
Actually I did.
Chessboard kid
You can’t be serious.

I thought you weren’t going to go.
kevin
I wasn’t going to…

Kevin walks out of the shot.

britney

tiffany
I think he’s kind of cute.
britney
So did your friend Heather.
tiffany
Well, we’ll make sure she’s not invited to this party.

There sure are a lot of people here.
mike
I told you I’d take care of things. Besides, I can’t stand Brad. Wait until Brad hears everyone came to your house instead of his.

Brad walks over to the alcohol.
brad

DISSOLVE TO:
kevin
So, where did you get all this alcohol? Did you steal it from your parents?
Mike
Are you kidding me?
Mike pulls out a fake ID.
mike
I didn’t bring all of it. Habib brought the majority of it.
kevin
The foreign exchange student from the Middle East? I thought his name was Abu.
mike
Whatever. That kid’s dad is a millionaire or something. Hey Ali, come here!

kevin
Thanks. I’m glad you came.
Tiffany
I’m glad I came too.
kevin
You’re friends with Heather, right?
tiffany
Yeah. Sure. I never thought of you as much of a partier. I guess I thought of you as …
(pause)
well… a loser.
kevin
Thank you?
tiffany
But now I realize what a great guy you are. Do you drink much?
kevin
Actually, I’m not a big drinker.
tiffany
Oh come on, don’t you ever have a little fun. Here, try some of this.

Kevin, I’m so disappointed in you. How could my son be so irresponsible?
Preacher
Kevin, repent of your sins. Thus sayeth the Lord:

kevin
It’s easy. I do it all the time.
heather
All right. Lets hit the ice.
They start skating. Kevin falls down. Heather laughs at him.

chessboard kid
He stopped hanging out with us as soon as he started hanging out with that jerk Mike.

kevin
I don’t need this right now. Talk to me when you cool down.
chessboard kid
You know what I don’t need right now? I don’t need a jerk for a friend. We’re through.
Chessboard kid throws chessboard at him.

Heather is at home crying. She looks at a picture of Kevin and cries.

kevin
Who needs nerds for friends anyway!
party scene#3
Chessboard kid throws a party. A plethora of nerds are hanging out. Oodles of Star Wars cards are involved. Bucky is playing with them.

Greetings fellow nerds! I would like to welcome everyone to my party tonight. I would like to officially start this party out with a toast. Here’s to graphing calculators, Star Wars deluxe edition episode 1 battle cards, polynomials, and gansta rap!
Everyone hits their glasses together.
Also I would like to thank the good people at Budwieser for bequeathing unto us tonights refreshments. You may now commence in the consumption of our nectar of fermented barley.
Everyone takes a little sip, and quietly plays cards. Bucky appears out of nowhere. Bucky throws all his cards into the air. Everyone is running around in circles completely crazy screaming and throwing chairs and riding bucky.

Kevin is by a phone debating whether he should call Heather or not. The phone rings.
kevin
Hello?
Mike
What’s going on?
kevin
Not too much. I’m not feeling too good. Heather’s pretty mad at me.
mike
That sucks. Hey! How bout you come out with me and try to forget about things for a while.
Kevin
I don’t think that’s going to help my situation much. Thanks for asking, but I think I’m just going to stay in tonight.
Mike
No, you are definitely going to hang out with us tonight. You can’t mope around all weekend
Kevin
No, I think it would be better if I took a rain check on that. Anyway, I’m having my car painted tonight.
Mike
Dude, Kevin, you don’t have a car. You can’t even drive!
Kevin
Oh, right. I guess I was thinking that I was a different person.
Awkward silence
mike
All right. I will be right over to pick you up.

Tiffany
What’s up with you and that skank anyway?
kevin
HAHAHAHAHA. Hey! She’s not a skank!
Jake staggers up to Tiffany and puts his arm around her.
Jake
So, Tiffany…
(pause)
Tiffany
What? (Disgustedly)
jake
You want to…
(pause)
Tiffany
Are you going to finish your sentence?
Jake
Oh. Right.
Jake suddenly falls onto the floor.
Kevin
I have to pee.
mike
It’s over there.
Kevin gets up and stubbles up the stairs. He finds the bathroom door, and opens it. He sees Bucky sitting on the toilet. He shakes his head and turns around. Tiffany is standing there. She tries to seduce him.
tiffany
Find the bathroom?
kevin
Occupied.
tiffany
Kevin, you need someone to talk to.
kevin
I need to talk to Heather.
Tiffany
Talk to me. I have what you need.
kevin
You have a toilet?
tiffany
No! You need a good friend.
kevin
Heather is my friend.
tiffany
You need a friend that accepts you for who you are and what you do.
kevin
Is this really who I am?
tiffany
I like who you are. Come in here and talk to me.
Jake
I’ll talk to you!
Kevin
I need to go.
Kevin walks out the door. Kevin wobbles down the street. Police enter the house. They handcuff everyone.
long emotional scence
Kevin is sleeping. His mom opens his door and wakes him up.
kevin’s mom
Kevin, It’s two o’clock. You need to get up. I need to go run some errands. I’ll be back in a couple hours. Besides, someone is here to see you. You may want to clean up a little. I’ll see you when I get home.
Kevin walks downstairs and finds Heather.
kevin
Hi, Heather.
heather
Hey.
(pause)
Kevin
I’m surprised to see you.
Heather
I’m surprised I came too.
kevin
I…
(pause)
heather
I’m sorry I blew up on you. I didn’t even give you a chance.
kevin
I didn’t really deserve one.
heather
So it’s true?
kevin
Look Heather, I can’t lie to you. I got mixed up in the situation. Mike told everyone I was having a party. I went along with it. I’m not sure why. Actually I am; I guess it just felt good to be accepted. I guess you wouldn’t understand. It’s easy for you. Everyone already accepts you for who you are and you don’t have to do anything.
heather
I accepted you for who you were.
Kevin
Maybe I didn’t accept myself. It seems like I have finally found the person I want to be. But it’s not complete without you.
heather
I don’t want to give up our friendship, and I may not understand how you feel, but you don’t understand how much pain I’ve felt.
Kevin
I don’t understand. What pain are you talking about?
heather
But it’s so hard to talk about.
kevin
You don’t have to tell me if you don’t feel comfortable, but I can’t relate to you until you talk about it.
heather
For now, lets just say that I have been deeply hurt by alcohol and I’m not sure it is possible to maintain a relationship with you drinking.
Kevin
Is there anyway you can accept me now? Drinking hasn’t changed me or turned me into a bad person. I’m still the same person that you liked before. I’m not asking you to drink.
Heather
I don’t like it. I don’t think I could suppress my feelings about drinking to be with you. I don’t know, I want to be with you, but I just don’t know… I like you a lot.
kevin
Maybe there isn’t an easy solution, but I think we could work on it together and find a way to understand each other.
heather
I would really like to try.
They hug. They cry.

The doorbell rings. The door opens as Daler Mehndi music starts. Habib is standing in the doorway holding beers in each hand.
habib
The party has now arrived.
He walks into the house followed by multitudes of hot chicks. Habib hands beers to Kevin. He then starts to dance with chicks dancing behind him. Mt. Dew kid falls from ceiling screaming.
choir boy
It’s raining men! Hallelujah!
Mt. Dew Kid continues to run around everyone in circles.
Habib
Hey Kevin. In my country, when a man turns eighteen, it is customary for him to take off all of his clothing, cover his entire body with honey, and dance like a bumblebee until the wee hours of the morning.
Toby
Man, you are whack!
Heather
Well, Kevin will definitely not be doing that tonight.
Habib
In my country, women know to hold their tongue.
Toby walks into other room where nerds are hanging out. Chessboard kid is listening to rap music.

Random shot of people partying with loud music.
Food kid gets hit with more food.
food kid
I’m sick of this!
Puking kid
I’m sick of this too!
Heather is off by herself not having much fun.
Random shoots of people partying with loud music. The music stops with a record scratch. Choir Boy is sitting at the piano. He plays a few chords. A few people gather around him. He plays some more and other instruments are heard. He starts singing along. He jumps up from piano bench and music continues. He starts dancing and singing. Everyone joins in singing and dancing. He jumps back on the piano and begins playing again. People are still dancing and singing. His hands are playing the piano, but he is singing and dancing. When the music ends, everyone spreads out and continues partying as if nothing has happened.
Heather is still standing by herself.
Kevin is listening to Habib telling lots of hot chicks a story. Kevin is laughing a lot and having a great time.
Heather looks jealously at them. She looks at a beer bottle. She looks back at Kevin. She picks up the beer and opens it. She smells it. She takes a sip. Kevin walks up to her.
kevin
What are you doing Heather.
heather
I was thinking…
Kevin
Don’t feel like anyone’s pressuring you to do something you don’t want to do.
Heather
I just thought I might try something new…have some more fun.
kevin
Well, if you are going to try something, I would suggest you drink this instead.
She takes a drink. They both drink together while talking.
Kevin
What do you think?
Heather
I think this stuff is definitely over-rated!
Kevin
HaHaHa..over-rated! You just finished your first beer.
Addresses everybody. Stands on table.
Kevin
Hey Everybody! It’s my Birthday and I would like to give a toast. This goes out to

That, and all my nerds, homiez, and foreign exchange students. But most of all I would like to put this one up for my beautiful and wonderful girlfriend who has just drank her first beer.
Everybody downs the alcohol.
The party is dying down. People are sleeping on couches and floor. Others leave. Mt. Dew kid is having a seizure in pile of 300 Mt. Dew cans. A couple people are still drinking and partying. Kevin goes to the bathroom. Heather starts stumbling around. She runs into things and falls. She gets back up and continues walking. She stumbles and falls down the stairs and dies.
fades to black:
funeral
preacher
We are gathered here today to mourn for the loss of our dear friend Heather Myers.
DISSOLVE TO:
Kevin
I don’t think there’s anyone from our high school that could say that Heather had never shown them some gesture of kindness. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. I only had a short time to spend with Heather, but she made a great impact on my life. I enjoyed every minute that I spent with her, and regret not appreciating her more.
Kevin starts crying.
What are we doing?…Each one of us is some way at fault for Heather’s death. I’ve seen a lot this past year. Friends of mine have been arrested; they have hurt themselves physically, as well as mentally. I think we often pass off alcohol as being harmless and accept it as a normal part of life. The thing is that it was always fine as long as the consequences didn’t happen to us. Sometimes, even if they did, we just shrugged them off and continued. It is horrible that it had to come to this to get through to us. And is it even enough? An amazing person has died because of us. Even if you didn’t know Heather, you are still at fault for every time you condoned drinking or even didn’t take a stand against it. I know that I am just as guilty as anyone else if not guiltier. I knew Heather better than anyone else, and I knew that she hated alcohol more than anything, and yet I still didn’t place my friendship with Heather above my own desires to be someone. What hurts me the most is that the problem is so bad that a person with such high values and a very strong stand against alcohol could be convinced to try it. I’ve heard that you can’t solve this problem by telling others it’s fine as long as they don’t do it around you, or as long as they don’t get caught. Heather once told me that the consequences of drinking far outweigh any gratification that it may bring, and I think that this shows her point better than anything anyone could say or do. So instead of raising a glass, and proposing a toast, I would like to give you my vow to Heather that I will never drink again, I would like you all to join me. I can’t think of anything that Heather would want more.
