[We’re presented with a black screen]
[The screen fades into color]
[The camera focuses on the face of a young girl around 9 years old with short neck length jet black hair , blue-ish hazel brown eyes and light tan skin wearing a long sleeve white shirt with yellow sleeves and royal blue gym shorts along with calf high white gym socks and white sneakers as well as glasses and a blue burette on the right side of her hair and who at this moment is staring at the camera with her head resting in her left arm while her right hand is resting on her lap as she is sitting on of the seats of the bleachers]

[We can’t hear what she’s saying though]
[The girl turns her head back to her peers on the court]
[The camera cuts to the girl looking in her locker wearing something different ; she’s wearing a pair of loose jeans and a blue and white short sleeve collared striped T shirt and white sneakers]

Riley : So , are you ready for your party tomorrow?
Penelope : Mm. I guess so.
Riley : You guess so?
Penelope : I mean…The party isn’t necessarily for me to be honest. It’s more like a pity party that Mom and Dad decided to throw because they don’t want people to think I have no friends. Which I don’t.
Riley : Then what am I? An onion?
Penelope : You’re my brother. That doesn’t count. At least not to Mom and Dad. I still can’t believe they invited everyone in my grade.
Riley : It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.
Penelope : You’re right…I shouldn’t worry. Because I doubt anyone’s coming.
Riley : Of course they will.
Penelope : Believe me. They won’t.
Riley : Why not?
Penelope : Because everyone in my grade thinks I’m weird.
Riley : No they don’t!

Penelope : If a bunch of people started making fun of you and called you pathetic at your own party, in your own home, you’d be doing the same thing I am!
Mrs.Bloom : I’m sure they didn’t mean any of it. Now stop crying , clean yourself up and come into the living room
Penelope : They meant every single word! The only reason they’re here is because they were forced to. They don’t want to be here! I don’t even wanna be here! I didn’t ask for this party! The only reason you planned one is because you wanna prove to all your snotty friends that I'm not some desperate loner ! And who cares if I am? The only reason I don’t have friends is because everyone would rather hang themselves than be within 3 ft of me. Do you even know how that feels?! No!

[Elijah looks over at Penelope]

Elijah : You know, being covered in cake and frosting suits you.
Penelope : You know what would suit you?
Elijah : What?
Penelope : Duct tape.
Elijah : Is that any way to treat your future husband?
Penelope : [looks at Elijah confused] Husband?
Elijah : Yes. While you were gone , I chose to Kiss Jennifer Aniston . Make out with Halle Berry. And Marry you.
Penelope : Me? Married to you? As if! I’d rather catch mange from Sophia’s poodle….(beat) Then again…I’m not his type either.

[Elijah is unsure of what to say]
[The two don’t speak - they just stare out of space]

Penelope : You’re no better.
Elijah : I know..but my mom won’t be picking me up till 10. So I guess you’re stuck with me.
Penelope : [sighs]

Penelope : Why? Are you jealous? [ teasing]
Elijah : Pfft! Please! It’s your life. You can like whoever you want to.
Penelope : Well…if it makes you feel any better. He wasn’t exactly the first one on my crush list.
Elijah : Okay.
Penelope : He’s kind of crossed off of it as of today.
Elijah : Okay…
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdGLnjDgyQ
[Silence takes over yet again]
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAAcoWXuaG
Elijah : But just out of curiosity. Who was?
Penelope : Who was what?
Elijah : At the top of your…”crush list”
Penelope :Hmm.. Leonardo DiCaprio.
Elijah : [disappointed] Oh. I see. Is it because of the hair?
Penelope : No.
Elijah : Mmm.
Penelope : You sound disappointed.

Penelope : Why did you say you wanted to marry me anyways ?
Elijah : Why do you wanna know?
Penelope : No reason…There’s just a lot of other people you could’ve picked.
Elijah : [blushes slightly but turns away a little more so Penelope doesn’t see] Yeah, well, I picked you….You were the safer option.
Penelope : Glad to know I was even an option in the first place.
Elijah : Why wouldn’t you be?
Penelope : No one wants to be with someone with glasses , has no friends , likes scrabble and ate a cake with her bare hand on her 10th birthday while she cried and wished she was never even born.
Elijah : Who wouldn’t want someone like that?
Penelope : Theo , apparently.
Elijah : Theo only cares about himself and video games. His opinion doesn’t count. And I don’t know about you but you’d always be an option..for me at least..in a hypothetical [clears throat] situation.
Penelope : I just know they’re all gonna talk about this on Monday.
Elijah : We’ll cross that bridge when the time comes. Until then-
