INT. APARTMENT - DAY

 

Edison stares in shock at Brittaney.

 

BRITTANEY

Hey.

 

EDISON

You’re back? You’re back!

 

Edison hugs Brittaney.

 

EDISON

Oh I’ve missed you. It’s been terrible ever since you left but now you’re back.

 

BRITTANEY

I’ve missed you too.

 

Brittaney enters the apartment and takes a seat on the couch. Edison joins her. He can’t stop smiling.

 

EDISON

You're back.

 

BRITTANEY


Yeah.

 

For good? Yes.


EDISON BRITTANEY

EDISON


Fantastic.

 

The two stare at each other.

 

EDISON


It’s been terrible without you.

 

BRITTANEY

Really?

 

EDISON

Yeah, everything went to hell. But now you're back. Everything is going to be great again.

 

BRITTANEY

So this is the apartment?

 

EDISON

Yeah.

 

BRITTANEY

Are you still friends with Andrew?

 

EDISON

Yeah. Oh my goodness, Andrew will be back any minute now. He’ll be glad to see you too. Oh and you can finally meet Megan.

 

BRITTANEY

Megan?

 

EDISON

Yeah, she’s our third roommate.

 

BRITTANEY

She?

 

EDISON

She’s a lesbian.

 

BRITTANEY

Oh.

 

EDISON

Yeah, they went out to get pizza. We almost got evicted cause we threw a lot of parties.

 

BRITTANEY

Dat part tho.

 

Edison is excitedly taken aback.


EDISON

How do you know about Dat party tho?

 

BRITTANEY

Social media.

 

EDISON

Oh yeah, duh.

 

BRITTANEY

Looks like you and Andrew have been having fun.

 

EDISON

Yes and no, this year has been rough though.

 

BRITTANEY

What happened?

 

EDISON

Well, he and I got in a fight, Megan got dumped, the Starquest movie got delayed, Biden won the election and there was this COVID business but thankfully, that didn't last long.

 

Edison takes a deep breath.

 

EDISON

But you’re here now. Everything is going fine now.

 

BRITTANEY

Well, I’m glad you think that.

 

EDISON

So, where should we go?

 

BRITTANEY

What?

 

EDISON

Our first date. Now that you're back, we can start dating again. I was thinking Italian but I bet you’re sick of that.


 

Edison-


BRITTANEY

 

EDISON


They opened up a new sandwich shop. We could try that.

 

BRITTANEY

Edison, I met someone. In Italy.

 

EDISON

I bet you met a lot of people in Italy. They’ve got a population of

60 million.

 

BRITTANEY

No, what I meant was… I met a guy. Who I’m dating.

 

Deafening pause.

 


 

Oh. Yeah.


EDISON BRITTANEY

EDISON


You’re… with someone?

 

BRITTANEY

Yes.

 

EDISON

Interesting.

 

BRITTANEY

I’m sorry.

 

EDISON

What? No, don’t be. We broke up, you moved on with another abroad student.

 

BRITTANEY

Actually, he’s Italian.

 

EDISON

Italian?


BRITTANEY

Yes, his name is Mario.

 

EDISON

Like the game?

 

BRITTANEY

Um, no.

 

EDISON

Do you love him?

 

BRITTANEY

Edison I don’t think we should talk abou-

 

EDISON

Oh, of course, you’re right. I’m sorry for pushing. Does he treat you right though?

 

BRITTANEY

Yes, yes he does.

 

EDISON

Good. That’s good, that’s all that matters then.

 

BRITTANEY

Are… are you with anyone?

 

EDISON

Oh, I’ve just had a few flings. I was with a girl that I really liked but we broke up.

 

BRITTANEY

Why?

 

EDISON

No particular reason. It just didn’t work out.

 

The two sit in silence.

 

BRITTANEY

So, did anything else happen while I was away?


EDISON

Mmmmm no. Nothing I can think of. Well, Andrew and Sarah are a couple.

 

BRITTANEY

What? For real?

 

EDISON

Yeah.

 

BRITTANEY

That’s fantastic!

 

EDISON

I guess.

 

The silence returns.

 

EDISON

How was Italy?

 

BRITTANEY

Oh, it was wonderful. I learned so much, got to see a lot of cool things and the food was just great.

 

EDISON

Cool.

 

Andrew and Megan enter the apartment carrying pizzas.

 

ANDREW

So some women don’t actually like it when guys use tongue on thei-

 

Andrew and Megan see Brittaney and Edison on the couch.

 

ANDREW


Britt?

 

Andrew!


BRITTANEY


 

Brittaney gets up and Andrew sets the pizzas down. They hug.

 

EDISON


Brittaney’s back.

 

ANDREW

Yes, I can see. I just hugged her.

 

BRITTANEY

And you must be Megan.

 

Brittaney extends her hand. Megan shakes it.

 

MEGAN

So you’re Brittaney. Edison’s told me a lot about you.

 

BRITTANEY

Hopefully all good.

 

EDISON

Don’t worry, it was.

 

ANDREW

Well, Sarah will be happy to see you. I invited her over.

 

BRITTANEY

Congrats on you two finally getting together.

 

ANDREW

Thanks. Hey, since you're back, I guess you and Edison can start dat-

 

EDISON

Brittaney met someone in Italy. His name is Mario.

 

ANDREW

Oh? Oh. Well, congrats Britt.

 

BRITTANEY

Thanks. Hopefully, you all can meet him soon.

 

EDISON

Can’t wait. Andrew, can I talk to you in my room. I- need to show you something.


Andrew and Edison enter his room.

 

ANDREW

Wow, I can’t believe she’s back. How are you doing?

 

EDISON

I’m doing great. Juuuuuuust great. She has a boyfriend now. Mario.

He’s Italian.

 

ANDREW

Yes, you told me a few seconds ago.

 

EDISON

Right, yeah.

 

ANDREW

Hey, are you okay man? You can talk to me.

 

EDISON

I’m fine. Just processing a few things.

 

ANDREW

Okay. Well, let's eat pizza. One last “Dat Party Tho”. Remember?

 

EDISON

Yeah.

 

Andrew and Edison enter the living room. Sarah and Brittaney are hugging.

 

SARAH

I’m so glad you're back.

 

BRITTANEY

Same girl. Same.

 

SARAH

You, me, and Megan need to do a girls night ASAP.

 

BRITTANEY

Yes!


The complete group eats pizza, talk about memories, and exchange new stories about each other.

 

BRITTANEY

So let me get this straight? Andrew took ecstasy and Edison jumped off a balcony to impress a girl?

 


 

Yes. Boys.


SARAH

SARAH & BRITTANEY SARAH


So, tell me more about Mario. Have you two… been together?

 

BRITTANEY

Maybe.

 

Sarah and Brittaney squeal in delight.

 

MEGAN

Okay, ladies settle down.

 

Edison stands up and storms out of the apartment. The room goes quiet.

 

ANDREW

I’ll talk to him.

 

EXT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

 

Edison sits on a bench near the apartment pool. Andrew walks over and takes a seat.

 

ANDREW

You’re not doing okay, are you?

 

EDISON

No.

 

ANDREW

That's perfectly okay.

 

Pause.


EDISON

I’m sorry.

 

ANDREW

For what?

 

EDISON

For everything that happened at the end of last semester and the beginning of this one. Us fighting.

 

ANDREW

We’ve moved on remember?

 

EDISON

No. No, I have to apologize. You said that Brittaney and I were just a fling and you were right.

 

ANDREW

Edison-

 

EDISON

Damn it! I waited for her. I broke up with a girl that I actually liked for her and now… now she’s got some Spaghetti head.

 

ANDREW

Edison!

 

EDISON

Sorry, sorry I didn’t mean that. I’m just…

 


 

I know.


ANDREW

 

EDISON


When Sarah was with Calvin, how did you get over it?

 

ANDREW

I never did.

 

EDISON

Even when you were with Gabby?


ANDREW

I liked Gabby. But I also think that I tried fooling myself into thinking I was over Sarah by being with her.

 

EDISON

How am I going to get over her Andrew?

 

ANDREW

You won’t. You never really will. You’ll just learn to forget her.

 

The two friends nod at each other. Brittaney appears nearby. They see her.

 

ANDREW

Well, I’m still hungry.

 

Andrew gets up and returns to the apartment. Brittaney sits next to Edison.

 

EDISON

I really am happy for you.

 

BRITTANEY

No you're not.

 

EDISON

Okay maybe not entirely happy but I am glad that you’re happy.

 

BRITTANEY

I am.

 

EDISON

That’s all that matters to me.

 

Brittaney smiles at him.

 

EDISON

I’m sorry.

 

BRITTANEY

So am I.

 

The former couple sits staring at each other with understanding and a tiny spark of their former love.


END.
