TEASER
FADE IN:
INT.MINKUS HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
Stuart and Jeniffer are standing,fighting a bit.
STUART
If you don't love me,why did you marry me,anyway?
JENIFFER
Do you really have to make problem about everything?
STUART
I'm not the one who's making problem,Jeniffer.
JENIFFER
So...all this is all of sudden my fault?
STUART
I want to talk and make things clear,but you...
JENIFFER (interrupts)
Of course.It's always women's fault...men's are all angels and inoccent.
STUART
Just don't yell.Farkle might hear us.
JENIFFER
Are you really worried about it?Or you just don't wanna end up divorced?
STUART
Of course i'm worried about what he might think.He's my son!
JENIFFER
Your son?Suddenly,he's just your son?It's mine too!It's our son!
STUART
Sorry.I never meant to say it that way.
JENIFFER
Maybe...we should split.
STUART
Jeniffer...
JENIFFER
I always had my doubts,but now i know this wasn't quite good idea as it seemed years ago.
STUART
Nobody pushed us to this.
JENIFFER
It was me.
STUART
What?
JENIFFER
I end up pregnant,remember?
STUART
We didn't just marry because of child.That would be mean,mad and very unpolite.
JENIFFER
Listen to me,Stuart.Whatever happens...promise me you wouldn't keep me away from Farkle.
STUART
Nothing's gonna happen!
JENIFFER
Just promise me that!
STUART
Okay.He won't be involved in this and...you will always be by his side.
Than,we notice Farkle's head,in the hallway of Minkus house,a bit angry,sad,apparently had been listening to all conversation.
JENIFFER
He was the only reason i did this.
STUART
We will figure this out.I promise.

ACT ONE
FADE IN:
INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HALLWAY – DAY
Farkle is closing his locker.He has sad face,quiet,sleepy.
Riley comes,gives him kiss on the cheek.
RILEY
Hi.
FARKLE
Hey.
Farkle,keeps quiet,in his own world provocated by his parent's fight last night.
RILEY
Isn't it interesting that we are starting Sophomore year of high school.
FARKLE
Sure.
RILEY
I used to think it's me and Lucas...that we were supposed to be together and be happy through high school.But than...i understood who i wanted to be with.
Farkle,nods,still in his own problems.
RILEY (CONT.)
What's the matter with you?
FARKLE
You don't longer have feelings for him,right?
RILEY
Why are you asking me that stupid question?
FARKLE
I don't know.You started with the topic.
RILEY
Something is wrong with you.
FARKLE
What?
RILEY
I know you and this is not you.This isn't the Farkle i know and i want to know why and i want to know now.
FARKLE
Oh,god.Why am i having this feeling that bullies are chasing me all over again?
RILEY
Are you bullied?
FARKLE
No.
RILEY
Than?
Farkle,keeps silent,his phone bips.
RILEY
It's your phone.
FARKLE
It's nothing important.
RILEY
How do you know?
FARKLE
I just know!
Riley,becomes a bit frightened,while the rest of students turn around.
FARKLE
I'm sorry.Please forgive me...for yelling.
RILEY
Okay.
Riley turns around,about to enter the classroom,but he stops her,taking her hand.
FARKLE
It's not about you.It has nothing to do with you,believe me.
RILEY
It's hard to believe,when you are not oppening to me.Why?
FARKLE
I kinda...have...insomnia.I mean,i don't have it,but i didn't sleep well last night.
RILEY
Just that?
Farkle nods.
RILEY
You scared me.
FARKLE
Sorry.
Farkle puts his hands at Riley's face,they kiss.
FARLKLE
Let's go.
On the other side,there is Maya,like she's spying on them both,than Lucas comes.
MAYA
Looks like Frankenstein did something wrong again.
LUCAS
He's right.Stop mocking him.
MAYA
It's me,it's who i am and i will never stop.
LUCAS
I don't think their relationship is falling apart again.
MAYA
Wanna bet?
LUCAS
I wanna do something else.
MAYA
Win the bet?
LUCAS
You were right and...we should do it.
MAYA
Are you sure?
LUCAS
I wasn't scared,okay?I just needed some time to think about this big step we are taking.
MAYA
You know how they say it should be with someone special?You are special to me.
LUCAS
And i'm glad it's you who I wanna spend the rest of my life with.
MAYA
Just to make it clear...we are not getting married.
Lucas laughs.
LUCAS
I just...can't be more happier,i think.
They kiss.
MAYA
Let's go,Huckleberry.
LUCAS
Huckleberry,really?
MAYA
It's who i am!And...you accepted me that way,right?
LUCAS
Fine.Blonde beauty.
The both of them laugh,enter the classroom.
INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – ENGLISH ROOM – DAY
Harper teaches a lesson.We notice Zay's not in class.
HARPER
I suppose everyone have heard about author named Avery Corman.
MAYA
Is that the one who wrote that famous movie...Kramer vs Kramer?
LUCAS (to MAYA)
You are close enough.
HARPER
He wrote the same book,movie is adoption of book.
LUCAS
She doesn't read books that much.
MAYA
What are you suddenly,my lawyer?
Lucas and Maya keep mocking each other,a bit,Riley turns around,faces Farkle,who is still sad,smilling a bit.
FARKLE
That book is about divorce,right?
HARPER
And...about what happens to father and son after the mother leaves them.
FARKLE
It must be very hard,I imagine.
MAYA (to FARKLE)
You don't know a thing,Frankenstein.It's a bad thing to happen,even to some child.
FARKLE (to MAYA)
What's it like,Maya?
RILEY (to FARKLE)
Seriously?
FARKLE
What?This is still discussing,right?
HARPER
Things like that are common today.And in many cases...the children are the one who suffer more.
FARKLE
But...how to make it not happen?How to make things better and cheat on divorce?
LUCAS
It's not like we are in Final Destination,you can't make things better if they are destinated to be like that.
MAYA
It's freakin fate.
LUCAS
Wow.That's something Zay would often tell.
MAYA
Where the hell is he,anyway?
HARPER
The movie is very dramatic.Most people can identify with it.
FARKLE
Okay,so divorces happen.How to choose the side?Him or her?
LUCAS
You don't choose,Farkle.
FARKLE
What?
LUCAS
It's their divorce.You never have the vote.
HARPER
Let's just get back to the book and think about it a bit.
Than,Cory knock the door and enters.
CORY (to HARPER)
Sorry to interrupt the class,Harper.I just need Farkle for a moment.
HARPER
Is something wrong?
CORY (to FARKLE)
Your mother is here.
FARKLE
My mom?
Farkle stands up,a bit frightened,leaves the classroom.
HARPER
I want all of you to think about this.What provocates divorce?How to survive it?How to get back to the life we had before,things similar to it?

JENIFFER (interrupts)
Nothing bad will happen.
FARKLE
So...you are leaving him?
Jeniffer,keeps quiet,silent.
FARKLE (CONT.)
I always thought he was the one to love you more.
JENIFFER
I loved him too...at some point of life.And i still do.
FARKLE
Did i destroy your life?
JENIFFER
Of course not!How can you think about that?
FARKLE
You didn't marry because of your pregnancy?

FARKLE
You really think that?
STUART
Everything's fine and everybody's fine.
FARKLE
You can keep saying that,but it doesn't mean that it will be that way.
STUART
Couples...and especially married couples have fights sometimes.I mean...you are sixteen,i don't need to explain this to you.
FARKLE
I know,but your fights...it's so much bigger issue than an ordinary fight.
STUART
Nothing is gonna change.We are not getting divorce,we are not separating and we are one happy family.

CORY
I may have been a bit strick with you.
AUGGIE
A bit?

I am worried.I was a bit slacker when i was a kid,it's bad to grow up being some lame student who skip classes and do the things other collegues don't do.
AUGGIE
You me...joint and that stuff?
CORY
You need to stop watching that rap films a bit.
AUGGIE
I skipped one class,i liked it and it's never gonna happen again.And it's not because of this punishment.
CORY
Wow.I'm glad you understood it.And i can't believe you beat me in this maturity conversation.
AUGGIE
That's why your punishments suck.
Auggie goes back to bed,leaving Cory there alone,thinking.

Damn.I sometimes talk too much in front of kids.
INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HALLWAY – DAY
Lucas and Zay enter the school.
LUCAS
What's going on,buddy?I thought we tell each other everything.
ZAY
I can't tell you until i am sure.
LUCAS
I don't know if you realize it,but it sounds like you killed someone.
ZAY
There is a slight possibility that i'm going back to Texas.
LUCAS
What?
ZAY
I don't know what to do.
LUCAS
You can't go.We need you.
ZAY
And i need you,guys.But...
LUCAS
We will make up something,you need to stay.
On the other side,there is Farkle near lockers,Maya comes.
MAYA
You and i will talk,Minkus!
FARKLE
Minkus?So...now you are calling me like that?
MAYA
Minkus,Frankenstein,what's the point?It's the same for me...creepy.
FARKLE
What have i done?
MAYA
Why don't you talk with Riley?
FARKLE
This is personal,okay?
MAYA
Than...talk to me.
FARKLE
And than...you will tell Riley.
MAYA
Of course.
FARKLE
Look,this is my personal thing.I need to deal with it...myself.
MAYA
Family problem?
FARKLE
How did you know?
MAYA
Maybe...because my father left my mother and me.I see it clear in other people's eyes.It's easy to notice it.
FARKLE
They could get divorce in any moment.I don't want that to happen.
MAYA
If not now...it could happen later.
FARKLE
What's the best solution?
MAYA
Just deal with it.
Farkle nods.
Than,Riley exits classroom,going towards Maya and Farkle,but stops,as she hears Farkle speaking.
FARKLE
Why can't I talk with Riley like this?She wouldn't understand him.
Maya,notices Riley.
MAYA
Farkle...
FARKLE
I don't know why.She's not like you,it just wouldn't work.Thank you for listening to me.
MAYA
Riley is...
FARKLE
I don't wanna push her aside,but...she doesn't understand me as much as I wish for.
RILEY
Really?
Farkle turns around,faces Riley.
FARKLE
Riley?
RILEY
That was...so honest.You were honest...first time.
FARKLE
I didn't meant...
RILEY (interrupts)
You said what you meant.It seems that i don't understand you after all.
