## Full Chapter

SUPERIMPOSED: 10 YEARS LATER

EXT. JOHNSON RESIDENCE - backyard/patio/pool - night

A TEEN PARTY is occurring at the large house that obviously belongs to a family with money. The house is three stories, with a large separate garage, and a pool, including a pool house. The owner definitely has more money than most people in this town.

Hosting the party is NIKKI JOHNSON (16), an obvious rich bitch, who gets what she wants when she wants it. Attending the party is her friend NINA RIVERS (16), who is hanging out with other popular teens. Nina is very pretty and somebody that you would see with the popular kids. But she doesn't exactly like to identity herself as one.

As Nikki talks with the other girls about something, trying to make herself all cool and "all that", Nina moves away to see her best friend, ALYSSA RICE (16), who sitting at the pool with her feet in the water. Alyssa is a nerdy girl with glasses. Not the popular type.

NINA: Hey. You having fun?

Alyssa smiles at her best friend.

ALYSSA: I'm doing okay. Just relaxing and looking out at everyone getting themselves drunk.

Nikki notices that Nina is talking with Alyssa instead of her. This offends her. She does not like Alyssa, who she doesn't see as worthy due to being an average nerd. She marches over to Nina, pulls her away from Alyssa, and up to her.

NIKKI: What are you doing with that nerd?

Nina becomes frustrated with Nikki's attitude over Alyssa.

NINA: Alyssa is my best friend. Where I go, she goes. You just need to accept that.

NIKKI: I don't allow nerds at my cool party.

NINA: Fine. If she has to leave, then I leave, too.

Nikki is not liking that. She cannot allow someone to willingly leave her party. It makes her look bad. So she immediately changes her attitude.

NIKKI: Fine. She can stay. But if she does something nerdy that makes people leave, I'm holding you responsible.

NINA: She'll be just fine.

NIKKI: (smarmy): We'll see.

Nikki walks away. Approaching Nina is her boyfriend, SEAN ABBOTT (16), who puts his arms around his girlfriend.

SEAN: What was that all about?

NINA: Oh, Nikki thinking that Alyssa is going to ruin her party with her nerdyness.

Sean scoffs over this and shakes his head. He also doesn't like the way Nikki treats Alyssa. They go sit with Alyssa by the pool. But she doesn't notice. That is because she's staring at -- DAVID MILLER (16). He is very tall, handsome, friendly, and vibrant. Anyone who crosses paths with him at the party greets him with respect and admiration. He is just too friendly and cool not to.

SEAN: So you like David Miller?

Alyssa blushes over this. She cannot hide it. She clearly likes him.

NINA: You should talk to him.

ALYSSA: I don't know. I mean. He's the latest guy that Nikki is going after. I don't stand a chance.

NINA: Maybe he's not interested in her.

SEAN: Yeah. I know David. He's not the type of guy who will go for someone as conceited and self-centered as Nikki Johnson.

ALYSSA: Nikki gets what she wants rather they like it or not.

From his distant position, David turns to see Alyssa. He smiles and nods at her directly. Alyssa is shocked. Did her crush just acknowledge her?

NINA: Oh, my God! That was towards you.

SEAN: I think he likes you.

Alyssa is speechless. She doesn't know how to react. Was David really doing that to her or someone else nearby?

From her position, Nikki sees this happening. She is furious. First the nerdy girl is attending her party. Now the guy that she has her eye on shows interest in the nerd instead of her.

NIKKI: Calvin!

Nikki runs over to her friend, CALVIN WILKINS (16), and takes him by the arm as they walk off.

NIKKI: I need your help. Hear me out.

They both walk off screen.

CUT TO:

EXT. JOHNSON RESIDENCE - BACKYARD/PATIO/POOL - NIGHT (LATER)

As Alyssa, Nina, and Sean are chilling by the pool, Calvin is running over to the shed. Meanwhile, Nikki approaches David by the garage.

NIKKI: Hey, David. Think you can do me a favor?

It's obvious that David isn't her biggest fan. But he is too friendly and kind to just reject her.

DAVID: What do you need?

NIKKI: There some beers in fridge in the garage. Think you can get some and bring them out?

DAVID: Sure.

David goes inside the garage. With David gone, Nikki turns to find Calvin waiting for her signal by the shed door. Nikki nods to him. So Calvin turns his body, facing the door. From behind, he looks just like David.

Nikki approaches Alyssa.

NIKKI: Hey, Alyssa!

Alyssa is confused by Nikki's sudden communication to her. Nina and Sean go into protective mode.

ALYSSA: (confused) Yes?

NINA: Looks like you've won.

This confuses Alyssa, Nina, and Sean.

NIKKI: It turns out that David has no interest me. But he likes you. He even told me so. In fact...(turns to the shed)...he's going into the shed right now to meet up with you.

Alyssa, Nina, and Sean turn to see Calvin, thinking that he's David, going inside the shed. Alyssa is excited and shocked by this. Is this for really happening?

NIKKI: You should go to him. No point in resisting it.

Alyssa smiles and heads for the shed. Nikki smiles and goes to walk off. But Nina and Sean know something is up.

NINA: (protective) What are you up to?

NIKKI: What are you talking about, Nina?

NINA: If David had interest in Alyssa, he'd come over and tell her himself. He wouldn't make you tell her. What are you playing here?

NIKKI: Are you fucking kidding me? I just got my heart broken. Over that nerd of all people. I don't care about her.

NINA: If Alyssa leaves this party crying, it's over between us.

Nikki chuckles and walks away. She doesn't believe Nina's threat.

INT. SHED

Alyssa is looking around in the dark shed for David.

ALYSSA: David? Where are you?

There is a no response. So she continues to look around the large dark shed for her crush.

A BLACK FIGURE passes behind her, which she is oblivious to.

EXT. JOHNSON RESIDENCE - BACKYARD/PATIO/POOL - NIGHT

David comes out of the garage, which Nina and Sean see. They follow him as he approaches Nikki.

DAVID: I didn't see any beers in the garage.

Nikki laughs.

NIKKI: Yeah. I sent you off on a wild goose chase.

NINA: You did that to get to Alyssa. Who did you really send into the shed?

NIKKI: Oh, just Calvin. And the best part is about to happen.

David is so confused.

DAVID: What the fuck is going on here?

Nina and Sean are pissed off now. They know something is about to happen with Alyssa.

INT. SHED

Alyssa is still searching for David but cannot find him. As she looks around -- A CLOWN JUMPS OUT OF NOWHERE. The Clown is holding a butcher knife. Alyssa SCREAMS in horror as the Clown chases her.

EXT. JOHNSON RESIDENCE - BACKYARD/PATIO/POOL - NIGHT

The entire party has heard Alyssa's screams. She storms out of the shed and trips onto the ground. The Clown jumps at her and roars at her with the knife up in the air. Alyssa screams in front of everyone.

Suddenly, the Clown starts laughing as he removes his clown mask to reveal himself to be -- CALVIN. Nikki proceeds to laugh and point at Alyssa.

NIKKI: PRANK! LOSER!

Other party attendees begin to laugh along with Nikki and Calvin. Everyone except for David, Nina, and Sean, whom are disgusted and furious with Nikki.

Alyssa is embarrassed and humiliated. She gets up and runs off crying.

NINA: Alyssa! Wait!

Nina turns to Nikki with anger.

NINA: I'm done being your friend. You're nothing but a bitch with no soul.

NIKKI: Oh, please. Like I care if we're friends or not. I'm the most popular girl in school. You're nothing without me.

NINA: I'd rather be a nobody with Alyssa than a "somebody" with you.

Nina runs off to catch up with Alyssa. Sean follows, giving Nikki an ugly glare.

DAVID: Yeah. You're pathetic, Nikki. I have no interest in you. Nor do I want to be your friend.

David leaves. This hurts Nikki. Now she's not only lost a friend. But she's also lost the man that she likes. This pisses Nikki off. How dare they abandon her, the most popular girl in school.

CUT TO:

INT. NINA'S CAR

Nina is driving Alyssa home. Alyssa is still crying and depressed over the cruel prank by Nikki and Calvin.

NINA: I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

ALYSSA: Why are you friends with her?

NINA: After what she did to you tonight, I'm not. Not anymore. Nobody hurts my best friend like that and gets away with it.

This makes Alyssa smile.

NINA: I love you, Alyssa. You're my best friend. And nobody will ever come between us. Not even someone as popular as Nikki can ever do that.

ALYSSA: I love you, too, Nina.

They hug each other before Alyssa gets out of the car.

INT. RICE RESIDENCE - FOYER

Alyssa walks into the house and passes by the living room, where her big brother, GARRETT RICE (25), is waiting for her.

GARRETT: How did it go?

Alyssa can only take a few steps up the stairs before her emotions explodes. She collapses to the step, sobbing. Garrett, who is tall at six-foot-one, and is built, approaches his baby sister and holds her.

GARRETT: Alyssa? What happened?

ALYSSA: Nikki. She...

That is all Garrett needs to hear to know that Nikki Johnson has done something to hurt his sister. He hugs and kisses her. He picks Alyssa up, showing how tiny she truly is. She's five-foot-two. Very tiny next to her large brother. He carries her upstairs to her bedroom.

Ever since their parents died earlier this year, Garrett has been Alyssa's guardian and protector. He cares for her like she were his own daughter.
