INT. APARTMENT - DAY

Edison and Brittaney sit up in Edison’s bed staring at each other in shock. Brittaney slides out of bed and uses the sheets to cover her body.

BRITTANEY

Did we-?

EDISON

Well, you're naked, and I’M naked, I think it’s fair to assume that yes, we did.

BRITTANEY

Oh… my… gosh.

EDISON

What?

BRITTANEY

What do you mean what? Edison, we slept together!

EDISON

And that's bad why?

BRITTANEY

I’m with Mario! Oh my gosh, I cheated on Mario. I was cheated on and now I’ve become the cheater.

Brittaney begins breathing fast.

EDISON

Okay, let’s take nice slow deep breaths.

BRITTANEY

How did this even happen?

EDISON

I don’t know. We drank a lot last night. I think I shot a guy last night or punched him, I don’t remember.

Brittaney sits on the bed. Edison sits next to her. Brittaney rubs her head.

BRITTANEY

Ohhhhhh I think I’m hungover.

EDISON

Same.

BRITTANEY

Great, first I commit adultery and know it feels like someone is drilling into my head.

EDISON

We could go get breakfast before our classes.

Brittaney gets up and starts getting dressed.

BRITTANEY

No. No you and I never slept together and we are never talking about this again. Understand?

Brittaney finishes dressing and heads towards the door and stops.

EDISON

What?

BRITTANEY

I think I hear Andrew out there. Damn it.

EDISON

Don’t worry, I’ll distract him.

Edison gets up and walks to the door.

BRITTANEY

Edison, you're naked.

EDISON

Exactly. I’m gonna distract him.

Edison opens the door and walks into the living room.

ANDREW

Edison what the fuck, you’re naked!

Brittaney exits Edison's room. Andrew's eyes are covered and Edison is looking away from Brittaney who leaves the apartment.

In Megan's room, she and Paige are listening from the door.

MEGAN

Okay, looks like they're distracted. Now’s your chance.

Megan opens the door and Paige slips out. Andrew throws dish towels at Edison. Unknown to them, Paige walks through the living room and exits the apartment.

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY

Andrew and Edison walk into a classroom. Andrew is wearing sunglasses.

ANDREW

How are you not hungover?

EDISON

I’m Mexican, we know how to drink.

ANDREW

Listen, I don’t think I can pay attention today. I need you to take notes for me.

EDISON

But you always take the notes and I just copy off you.

ANDREW

Edison, my head feels like it’s been hit by a sledgehammer. This one time, you’re going to have to pay attention and take good notes.

EDISON

Fine.

The class begins and the professor begins lecturing. Edison scribbles down barely legible notes. Andrew is half asleep. His sunglasses barely perched on his face.

EDISON

Hey, can I ask you something?

ANDREW

Sure.

EDISON

What if you… did something with another person that you thought was great but they didn't.

Andrew lowers his sunglasses.

ANDREW

Edison, I’m not in the mood for riddles. Either keep taking notes or be clearer.

EDISON

Brittaney and I slept together.

ANDREW

What!

The professor goes silent and looks at Edison and Andrew.

ANDREW

Sorry.

The professor resumes lecturing.

ANDREW

Are you serious?

EDISON

Yes.

ANDREW

What the hell Edison?

EDISON

What?

ANDREW

I knew your birthday was some ploy to get Britt back.

EDISON

Andrew, I swear that's not what I intended. We were drunk.

ANDREW

Okay. So I’m guessing Britt was freaked out.

EDISON

Yeah. She says we have to act like it never happened.

ANDREW

Wow. Wait, is she going to tell Mario?

EDISON

I don’t know. I think she should. If he stays with her, then he stays but if he breaks up with her, then…

ANDREW

Then you and her can get back together. Well, the only advice I can give you is to just talk to her.

EDISON

That’s what I was thinking.

ANDREW

Good. Now, keep taking notes.

INT. LIBRARY - DAY

Megan sits at a table reading a textbook. Paige walks over to her.

PAIGE

Hey.

MEGAN

Hey.

PAIGE

Mind if I join you?

MEGAN

Not at all.

Paige sits down.

PAIGE

Can we talk? About last night.

MEGAN

Yes. I was hoping you would want to.

PAIGE

What are we? One night stand? Friends with benefits. A couple?

MEGAN

I don’t know. Look, I’m still having issues with trust thanks to Samantha.

PAIGE

I know. Listen, whatever you want, I’m fine with it. I just also wanted to thank you for helping me… be me.

MEGAN

Of course.

Paige and Megan smile at each other. Paige gets up and leaves.

EXT. CAMPUS - DAY

Andrew is leaning over a bush throwing up. Edison is standing nearby.

EDISON

Are you doing good buddy?

Andrew gives him a thumbs up.

Nearby, Brittaney is walking. Edison sees her and walks towards her.

EDISON

Britt.

Brittaney stops.

EDISON

Can we talk?

BRITTANEY

Uhhhhh-

EDISON

Don’t worry, I won’t make things awkward.

Brittaney nods.

EDISON

Look, what happened last night… I don’t regret it. I know you do but I don’t. I won’t tell anyone and you don’t have to tell Mario. You should but it’s your choice. And whatever happens… just know I’m here for you.

BRITTANEY

Thank you. Really, I really appreciate it.

The two smile at each other. There is a brief pause. Brittaney hugs Edison who hugs her back. For a moment, they embrace each other as if they are the only two people in the world. Andrew heaves into the bush. Edison and Brittaney break their hug.

BRITTANEY

Is he okay?

EDISON

Probably not.

Edison and Brittaney smile at each other and she walks away. Edison walks over to Andrew.

EDISON

Okay buddy, I’m gonna help you get over this hangover. The Mexican way.

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

Edison puts a piping hot bowl of Menudo on the dining table in front of Andrew and Megan.

EDISON

This is an old Mexican hangover cure. Eat up.

Andrew and Megan eat the soup.

ANDREW

Fuck this is good.

MEGAN

Oh yeah.

ANDREW

Did you talk to Britt?

MEGAN

Did he try another stupid plan?

ANDREW

No, they slept together.

Megan chokes on her soup.

MEGAN

What?

EDISON

Thank you, Andrew, now more people know. But yes, I did talk to her. We’re cool now.

MEGAN

So are you two gonna be a thing?

EDISON

No. I don’t know. I just know that for the first time in a long time, I’m happy.

ANDREW

Good for you man.

Megan stares at her bowl contemplating what Edison has just said. She gets up and leaves the apartment.

EDISON

What’s her deal?

Andrew shrugs.

EXT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

Megan knocks on Paige’s door and she answers.

MEGAN

Last night… talking to you was the happiest I’ve felt all year. I can’t promise that this'll work out but… I do have feelings for you.

The two smile at each other and embrace each other and kiss.

END.
