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.
