Setting: The Cheshire Academy Prom at Anthony’s Ocean View. Ryan and Jessica have not come together. Ryan comes alone but intends to see Rebecca and Jessica is with Peeta. Ryan attends Suffield, Cheshire Academy’s biggest rival.
DJ: Welcome Cheshire Academy! Are you ready to dance? Don’t be shy! The dance floor is big and I want to see all of you on it!
A teacher gets on the dance floor and starts to dance. They dance very strangely.
Come on everyone! There should be more people dancing. Show this teacher how it’s done!
More students join including Rebecca and Peeta. Ryan and Jessica stay behind.
Ryan: (to a student who passes by) Do you know that girl over there? Who is she?
He points at Jessica.
Student: I don’t know. Ask someone else.
Ryan: I will!
(On the other side of the dance floor)
Toby: What is he doing here? How did he get in? I can’t believe he has the nerve to show up here.
Mr. Chapman: What happened? Who is here? Slow down.
Toby: He is our enemy. He’s that guy from Suffield who tackled the ref.
Mr. Chapman: Is it really? Why is he here?
Toby: Yes I swear it’s him. Are you going to make him leave?
Mr. Chapman: Calm down, Toby. Just ignore him. He shouldn’t bother you. Now, go have fun with someone your own age!
Toby: Okay, I will try not to react, but if he comes near me-
Mr. Chapman: Go on, have fun. Don’t let your prom be ruined by someone standing in the corner.
Toby sighs and walks away. Ryan meets Jessica.
Ryan: You are beautiful.
Jessica: You are not so bad looking yourself.
Ryan: Why have we never met before? …. Oh well, now that we have I just want to be with you.
Jessica: I want to be with you too.
Ryan kisses her.
Jessica: Wow..
Jessica kisses Ryan back. Jessica’s friend interrupts.
Nora: Peeta is looking for you. He says he wants you to hurry.
Jessica: Oh yeah. I forgot.. Thank you.
Jessica leaves Ryan without saying goodbye.
Ryan: Who is she?
Nora: She goes to Cheshire Academy.
Ryan: Oh, no. What did I just get myself into?
Ben (Another student from Suffield who hasn’t been noticed up until this point.): We should leave. People are starting to stare.
Ryan: Tell me about it.
Outside Jessica talks to Nora.
Jessica: Who was that? He was so hot.
Nora: I do not know his name, but I don’t think he goes to CA.
Jessica: Oh no! What have I done? I’m so stupid. I should get out of here.
