College Season 4 Episode 2: A Newer Lease On Life

 

INT. PIZZA PALACE - NIGHT

 

Edison and Brittaney sit across from each other in a booth. Brittaney is now somewhat pregnant. On the table is a large pizza which is more than half finished.

 

BRITTANEY

Should we get a cheesy bread to go?

 

EDISON

You just had six slices of deep-dish pizza.

 

BRITTANEY

Yeah, so? I’m eating for two now FYI.

 

EDISON

(Sigh)

Okay.

 

Edison gets up.

 

BRITTANEY

See if they can add peanut butter.

 

EDISON

I don’t think a pizza place will have peanut butter.

 

BRITTANEY

Well, just ask just in case.

 

EDISON

Man, pregnancy is weird.

 

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

 

Andrew, Megan, and Paige sit on the couch watching TV. Edison and Brittaney enter. Brittaney is carrying a cheesy bread. 

 

BIRTTANEY

Hey guys, is there any peanut butter in the pantry.

 

ANDREW

Uhhh I don’t know. 

 

BRITTANEY

I’ll check. Brittaney goes into the kitchen.

 

Edison sits on the couch.

 

MEGAN

Are you okay?

 

EDISON

Uhhh yeah. Why wouldn’t I be?

 

ANDREW

Well, it’s been a couple months since Brittaney told you she was pregnant with your child. We’re just checking in on you.

 

EDISON

Thanks. We’re great. 

 

MEGAN

So, are you all dating or not? I’m still not clear on that.

 

PAIGE

I was wondering that too.

 

EDISON

We’re not dating. We’re… friends who are having a baby. 

 

ANDREW

You know, you’ve really matured since this whole thing.

 

EDISON

I know. I’ve even started eating raisin bran. I really am growing up. 

 

MEGAN

Uh huh.

 

EDISON

Oh, by the way, Britt’s staying the night again.

 

MEGAN

Is it just me or is this apartment feeling smaller now? 

 

ANDREW

No, it does. Brittaney and Paige practically live here now. No offense.

 

PAIGE

None taken.

 

EDISON

Wait, are both of y’all saying we need a bigger place.

 

Andrew and Megan look at each other and then nod at Edison.

 

EDISON

This is great. We can rent a house. That way Britt and I will be together more and be able raise the kid. What do y’all say. 

 

ANDREW

I’m down.

 

EDISON

Great, I’m gonna go tell Britt.

 

Edison gets up and enters the kitchen where Brittaney is putting peanut butter on a slice of cheesy bread.

 

BRITTANEY

Want some?

 

EDISON

No, listen, what do you think about us renting a house.

 

BRITTANEY

Uhhhhhh.

 

EDISON

With the others of course.

BRITTANEY

Sounds great! 

 

Brittaney takes another bite of peanut butter cheesy bread.

 

BRITTANEY

Sure you don’t want some?

 

EXT. HOUSE - DAY

 

The group stands in front of a one story rental house.

 

ANDREW

How did you find this place?

 

EDISON

Scarlet Brown.

 

ANDREW

The real-estate mogul that bought our apartment?

 

EDISON

Yep. She was desperate to rent this place. Apparently it’s haunted. That’s how I got the rent cut in half.

 

MEGAN

I’m sorry, did you say haunted?

 

BRITTANEY

Well, I think it looks great.

 

A car pulls up and Sarah gets out.

 

ANDREW

What is she doing here?

 

EDISON

Look man, you and Sarah may not be a couple or even friends anymore, but she is Brittaney’s best friend. This is only gonna work if she moves in with us. You two are just going to have to get along.

Sarah reaches the group. She and Andrew avoid each other’s gaze.

 

SARAH

So, this is the place?

 

BRITTANEY

Yeah, we were about to go inside.

 

SARAH

Great.

 

INT. HOUSE - DAY

 

The group walks into the house. It is spacious with a large living room and narrow hallways.

 

EDISON

Four bedrooms. One for Megan and Paige, one for Sarah, one for you Britt, and one for me and Andrew.

 

ANDREW

Wait, you and I are sharing a room?

 

EDISON

Well, I just thought Brittaney would want some privacy. 

 

BRITTANEY

I’m okay with us sharing a room.

 

EDISON

You are?

 

BRITTANEY

Unless you’re not.

 

EDISON

No, I… I’m cool.

 

BRITTANEY

Great.

 

EDISON

Great. Shall we check out the backyard?

 

They head outside. 

 

SARAH

Andrew.

 

Andrew stays behind.

 

SARAH

Can we talk?

 

ANDREW

About what?

 

SARAH

We haven’t talked at all over the summer and whenever we’re around each other, we don’t acknowledge each other’s existence. Now we’re going to be living under the same roof together. 

 

ANDREW

What do you want me to say?

 

SARAH

I don’t know. I just think we need to… bury the hatchet.

 

ANDREW

Okay. 

 

SARAH

Friends?

 

ANDREW

Yeah. Friends.

 

The former couple smile at each other. A forced smile.

 

EXT. BACKYARD - DAY

 

Brittaney is checking out the backyard. Edison is standing with Megan and Paige.

 

EDISON

Remember when I said Britt and I were just friends. I think… I want to be more.

 

MEGAN

What’re you gonna do?

 

EDISON

I don’t know. I… honestly don’t know. 

 

Edison walks over to Brittaney and admires the yard with her.

 

PAIGE

Is it just me, or are we the only stable couple in this group?

 

MEGAN

Oh no, we are.

 

END.
