Crazy Night

Everyone at Sterling Court was getting ready for the big party on the roof. Geneva, Kim, Peyton, Spencer and Abby all gathered at Geneva and Kim's apartment to get ready. Peyton had just finished telling Kim all of what Reed has said to her, Josh and Landon after she left that morning to go shopping with Geneva.

Kim: That bastard.

Spencer: Language!

Geneva: Spencer, if profanity is what bothers you the most right now, I suggest you leave because we're about to lay in to the possessive scumbag AKA Reed in about 3 seconds.

Spencer: Continue on.

Abby: I say we all jump him in the parking lot!

Peyton: (Gets up) Hell yeah!

Kim: Stop! I'll deal with this my own way.

Geneva: (Puts her arm around Kim) Kim, sweetie, I'm going to be perfectly blunt with you right now, you are not good in these types of situations.

Kim: No, Geneva I have to face him. I was waiting for a sign and now I think I got it.

Spencer: A sign?

Kim: That I was doing the right thing by getting back together with Reed.

Geneva: If this is a sign, it couldn't be any plainer than Barbra Streisand's nose.

Peyton: Kim, you are attractive, smart and sweet, you're going to find someone way better than Reed.

Spencer: I know how you feel, Kim. I've grown up in politics and that's all that was around me, lies. My first impression of Reed when I first met him was that he'd make a great politician.

Kim: Spencer, you're totally right. All of you are right. I'm just going to have to cut him lose.

Geneva: Okay, come on Kim, lets show them the dresses we bought today!

Kim: Oooh! Me and Geneva had to flip a coin to see who'd get the dress I bought!

Meanwhile, at Ethan's apartment, Reed and Ethan sit and sip brandy.

Reed: I think you were right about Landon. I think I might have underestimated him.

Ethan: Never underestimate your opponent.

Reed: I didn't think he was my opponent until this morning!

Ethan: There are multiple things we can do to eradicate the situation.

Reed: Not yet. Kim hasn't fallen for his act yet. Lets wait.

Ethan: If that's what you want.

Reed: It is. Maybe we could get to him a little...

Ethan: In what way?

Reed: I have a couple of ideas...

Later on that night, the roof party was underway.

Peyton, Abby and Spencer are in the middle of the dance floor dancing with a bunch of people.

Abby: (Dancing) DAYUM! This party is hot!

Spencer: (Dancing next to her) You're right, I am a little sweaty.

Peyton: Spencer, she means the party is awesome.

Spencer: For goodness sake! I can't understand slang now days.

Peyton: (Rolls her eyes) You never have Spence.

Zach and Josh get to the middle with the girls and start dancing with them.

Peyton: Hey baby, you drunk yet?

Josh: (Laughs) Getting there!

Peyton: (kisses him)

Abby: (pulls Zach towards her and they dance dirty)

Zach: You've learned some new moves.

Abby: Hell yeah I have, boy. You better catch up.

Spencer: (Rolls her eyes and gets off the dance floor)

Kim and Geneva enter the party, fashionably late

Kim: (Spots Reed) He's over there.

Geneva: Okay, remember, stay strong and give it to him!

Kim: I've got this.

Geneva walks away from Kim and Reed approaches with two drinks.

Reed: (Hands Kim a drink) Hey, I've been waiting for you.

Kim: (Takes the drink and throws it in his face) You listen to me Reed! you don't own me, and you don't tell people not to talk to me! Especially my friends! (Turns to walk away)

Reed: (Grabs her arm) Wait a minute! What the hell are you talking about?

Kim: Peyton told me the way you talked to her, Josh and especially Landon!

Reed: He was moving in on you.

Kim: My god Reed! He is one of my best friends! We've known each other pretty much all our lives. You're going to have to deal with that!

Reed: Kim...

Kim: (Cuts him off) Look, I don't want to talk about this anymore tonight! I'm here to party and that's what I'm going to do.

Kim walks away toward the bar where Geneva is waiting with two martinis. She walks up to Geneva and takes one of them.

Kim: Thanks

Geneva: You really gave him hell.

Kim: Yes, yes I did, I am proud of myself!

Geneva: (Holds up her glass) Cheers!

They laugh and clink their glasses.

A furious Reed quickly finds Ethan at the party and pulls him aside

Ethan: What is it?

Reed: It's time we teach our buddy Landon a lesson.

Ethan: What are you thinking about doing?

Reed and Ethan step aside and discuss things privately.

Meanwhile Chase and Cassandra arrive at the party. The two had just moved in to Sterling Court.

Chase: Look Cassandra, I don't want you getting too wild tonight, okay.

Cassandra: Fine, just keep your distance from me, last thing I need is my big brother following me around.

Chase: Alright, just check in with me.

Cassandra: (Walks away) Yeah right.

Landon and Josh see Chase and walk up to him

Landon: Chase! Dude! Whats up?

Josh: Hey man! How do you like the place?

Chase: It's an awesome apartment building.

Geneva and Kim walk by and Landon grabs them

Landon: Hey you two I want you to meet a friend of ours.

Geneva walks over with Kim, but doesn't look up because she's adjusting her pantyhose.

Josh: This is Chase DeLozier, he's on our baseball team.

Kim: (puts her hand out) Chase it's wonderful to meet you.

Chase: (Shakes her hand and smiles) Nice to meet you Kim.

Geneva: (Finishes adjusting her hoes and looks up and smiles warmly) I'm sorry I was just trying to fix a run in my hoes... (Stops and looks at Chase) You! What the hell are you doing here!

Chase: Nice to see you too, Mercedes.

Landon: Uhhh... do you two know each other? Because dude, her name isn't Mercedes.

Geneva: No Landon, we don't know each other, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

Kim: Geneva! What's wrong?

Geneva: This is the bastard who insulted me the other day.

Chase: Yes I am, and you're even more charming now then you were in the parking lot.

Geneva: As are you, except you look even more nauseating at night.

Chase: Why thank you my dear, you look better without that wrecked Mercedes in front of you.

Josh: Okay you two, wow. Can we just let it go?

Kim: Yeah, I mean, it was just an accident that got carried away.

Chase: Both of you are right. (Puts his hand out) Truce?

Geneva: (Looks down at his hand) I have an idea, why don't you take that hand and do what you do best with it, because I highly doubt that any woman has ever shared a bed with you. (walks off)

Landon: Dude! You really pissed her off!

Josh: Yup, Chase, I'd stay far away from her until she cools down.

Chase: (Looks after her as she walks away) Yeah... maybe. (He smirks)

Meanwhile Spencer is sitting at a table across the party watching everyone dance. Ethan swoops in and sits beside her.

Ethan: Having fun?

Spencer: Not particularly, these kinds of parties aren't really my style.

Ethan: No, you're right, it's a bit rowdy isn't it?

Spencer: To say the least.

Ethan: How about I get us a drink?

Spencer: Make sure it doesn't have alcohol in it.

Ethan: Of course.

Ethan gets two cups of punch. He opens a small bile a pours something into Spencer's drink

Ethan: (Hands her the drugged drink) Here you are.

Spencer: Thank you.

Ethan: I'm going to go mingle a bit.

Spencer: (Smiles) Have fun.

Spencer drinks her punch... all of it.

Meanwhile, at the bar Reed doing shots. Cassandra walks up and sits next to him.

Cassandra: Hi there.

Reed: (Notices how attractive she is) Can I order you a drink?

Cassandra: (Eyes him up and down.) It's a little noisy in here... maybe we could go somewhere a little more private.

Reed: (Looks around and makes sure Kim isn't looking) Sure, lets go.

Reed and Cassandra leave the party together.

Average Morning

Every one at Sterling Court was getting ready for the big roof party, a party thrown every year to get to know new residents of Sterling Court. While may be the 'official' reason, it's really just a way for people to get together and get drunk and party.

At Josh and Landon's apartment, Zach and Geneva sit at the kitchen table eating cereal waiting for Josh and Landon to get back.

Geneva: So what do you call these things?

Zach: They are called, Froot Loops. I can't believe you've never had them!

Geneva: Me neither, they're wonderful! So, you're saying that they sell these at grocery stores?

Zach: (Laughs) Geneva, you do realize that you're actually going to have to go shopping at other places other than malls and boutiques right?

Geneva: What do you mean?

Zach: Well, you're going to have to start going to places like grocery stores to get food now that you're on your own. You and Kim are both going to have to.

Geneva: Yeah, okay, I always see them, there's just never been a reason for either me and Kim to go into one.

Zach: I can't believe that you are both 18 years old and neither of you have been into a grocery store.

Geneva: Well, excuse me for not being all... I can't talk right now, this stuff is just too good! (Pours more Froot Loops into her bowl)

Kim walks in

Kim: Hey, there you are, what are you doing here?

Geneva: (Gets up with the bowl) Here taste this! (Stuffs a spoon full of Froot Loops in Kim's mouth)

Kim: Oh my god! What is that?

Geneva: They're called Froot Loops! Are they delectable!

Kim: (Takes the bowl) Mmmhmm!

Zach: My god, this is worse than watching that Paris and Nicole show!

Geneva: (Throws a Froot Loop at Zach.) Shut up Zach!

Kim and Geneva sit down at the table as Landon and Josh walk in carrying kegs

Landon: Beer delivery!

Josh: Budweiser express coming through!

Geneva: (Rolls her eyes and turns back to her cereal)

Landon sits down at the table

Landon: So what are y'all doing here?

Geneva: (Chewing) Shhh! I'm eating!

Landon: What?

Zach: Dude, it's the first time they've ever eaten cereal.

Josh: Why am I not surprised.

Kim: (Turns to Josh and points at him with her plastic cereal spoon.) Let those without plastic silverware as their main utensil cast the first insult.

Josh: Ouch! Hitting me where it hurts most! My home decor! Ouch!(Laughs)

Geneva: Really Kim, what do you expect from guys who use milk crates as nightstands?

Landon: Well excuse me, some of us don't have an unlimited amount of money at our disposal.

Josh: Plus, those milk crates kick ass!

Landon: Yeah they do!

Abby enters

Abby: So y'all ready for the party tonight?

Zach: You know it!

Abby: By the way, Geneva, I didn't see your car outside when I went running this morning. (Opens the fridge and pours some orange juice)

Geneva: Oh! Some ass crashed into me, so I took it to the auto people so they can fix the paint job.

Kim: Did you get his name? Maybe you can get his insurance to cover it.

Geneva: No, believe me, he wasn't worth my time.

Landon: Have you ever wondered why Goofy wears clothes, yet Mickey's dog, Pluto, doesn't wear any clothes and yet they're both dogs...

Zach: Where the hell did that come from?

Landon: Come on, doesn't it ever bug you?

Geneva: You bug me.

Kim: I for one have always wondered why Donald Duck puts a towel around his waist when he gets out of the shower, yet he never wears any pants.

Landon: Nice one Kimmy!

Geneva: Oh! Josh! You need to teach me how to work the air conditioner in me and Kim's apartment.

Josh: Okay, lets go.

Geneva follows Josh out of the apartment.

Zach gets up and goes over to Abby

Zach: You looking all fine in them workout clothes.

Abby: (Smiles) You think so?

Zach: Hell yeah

Landon: Get a room you two!

Zach: Fine, we'll go back to my apartment and chill, you wanna?

Abby: Actually, I've got to get me a quick shower and then skedaddle to work.

Kim: Where did you get a job?

Abby: At that recording studio a couple of blocks over.

Kim: Wow! That sounds nice!

Abby: Not really, I'm just answering the phone, but at least I got my foot in the door somewhere.

Landon: Abs! If you see Brice Springsteen...

Abby: You'll be the first one I call.

Landon: Sweet!

Abby and Zach leave.

Kim: Landon, do you realize we haven't gotten a chance to talk since I've been back. Whats been happening with you?

Landon: Nothing much, just the norm.

Kim: How's training going?

Landon: Sucks! Just like training should.

Kim: Awww, but you should be having fun.

Landon: Trust me Kim, I'll have some fun tonight!

Kim: Landon, I wish you wouldn't drink so much. I really worry about you.

Landon: Kim, I'm fine!

Kim: Don't tell me your fine, Landon, you've been drinking a lot lately. It really worries, me, you don't want to jeopardize your future. You really have a shot at the NFL, at least that's what I think.

Landon: (Smiles) You really think so?

Kim: Of course I do. (Takes his hand and smiles) You know I believe in you.

Landon: You really do don't you.

Kim: Oh sweetie, yes.

Reed hears them talking and cracks the door of the apartment and sees them holding hands.

Landon: Kim, you know, I really need to tell you something.

Reed walks in abruptly

Reed: Kim! There you are darling, I've been looking for you. (He leans down and kisses her.)

Kim: Hi, me and Landon we just chatting.

Reed: (Doesn't even look at Landon) Hey, I thought we could go on the yacht today, maybe forget about this lame party tonight and have our own party on the lake.

Kim: (Looks at him oddly) Reed, I thought we agreed to take it slow, besides, I really want to go to this party tonight, I think it'll be fun.

Reed: Oh come now darling, it'll just be a bunch of delinquents getting hammered and dancing like idiots.

Landon: I don't know what kind of boring ass parties you go to, but thats pretty much what makes a party.

Kim: (Laughs) Plus, Landon and Josh are two of the honored guests, they are the only ones to recieve a full ride to Hotchkiss.

Reed: (Looks at Landon and smiles) Congratulations.

Landon: Thanks man, I really appriciate that.

Reed: (Turns back to Kim) Come on lets go off today.

Kim: No, me and Geneva are going shopping for party dresses and make up, then we're going to the liquer store to try out our fake ID's! (Giggles) My name is Jael Cossi and Geneva is Zelda Ferry!

Landon: Thats awesome! Me and Josh are Amerigo Enestas and Bruno Hardcrush!

Kim and Landon laugh and Reed rolls his eyes

Reed: What ridiculous names!

Kim: Oh it's fun!

Josh and Geneva walk in with Peyton following.

Peyton: Geneva, I still can't believe you didn't know how to work a thermastat.

Geneva: Well now I know, and thanks for telling her Josh!

Josh: Hey, I'm proud of you. For someone who's never used one before, you really got in there and took charge.

(Everyone laughs)

Geneva: Alright, alright! Everyone laugh at the dumb little rich girl!

Peyton: Aww, no one thinks you and Kim are dumb, just a little sheltered

Josh: Or... reality impared.

Kim: How did my name get into this conversation?

Peyton: Kim, to be fair, you did ask me where I could buy cupcake mix yesterday.

Kim: Yeah, and I'm still waiting for an answer, all you did was laugh and walk away.

Geneva: (Puts on her sunglasses and tugs at Kim's arm) Come on Jael, lets get some liquer illegally.

Kim: Coming Zelda! (Laughs and grabs her purse) See y'all later.

Reed: (Waits for Kim and Geneva to be out of sight and then turns to Landon) Landon, I would greatly appriciate it if in the future, you'd keep your hands off my fiancee.

Josh and Peyton look at each other in shock and then turn back to Reed and Landon

Landon: Dude, seriously... what?

Reed: I walked in on you two holding hands. Thats not going to happen again.

Peyton: I'm going to interupt this little pow wow here for a second, now Reed, Kim was telling us that you and her had a talk and that you are not engaged anymore.

Reed: So?

Peyton: So, wouldn't that mean that she's not your fiancee?

Reed: Peyton, thats not the point, the point is Landon she keep his hands off what is not his.

Landon: Wow, you are really paranoid. Me and Kim are just friends.

Reed: Maybe I don't want you to be her friend anymore.

Landon: Maybe we should let Kim decide that.

Reed: She doesn't have too, I've made the decision for her.

Josh: You know Reed, last time I checked, Kim was her own person.

Reed: Josh this doesn't concern you.

Josh: I'd say it does, Kim and Landon are two of my best friends.

Reed: (Ignores Josh and turns back to Landon) I just want you to keep your hands off her, do I make myself clear?

Landon: Okay, how about this, I'll do whatever the hell I want, do I make myself clear?

Reed: (Smirks and turns to leave) Just watch your back.

Reed leaves.

Sucker

It was a beautiful summer morning. Some residents of Sterling Court were out in the courtyard playing ball, others were just relaxing in the sun, others, like Ethan were marching to their best friend's apartment to let him in on something he had heard the night before. 

Ethan: (Walks in to the apartment) Reed! Are you here?

Reed: (Steps out of his bedroom sleepily) Yes, yes, why are you here so early!

Ethan: I thought you'd like to know a few things I overheard last night. 

Reed: (Sits down at the dining table) Go on...

Ethan: (Sits down smugly) It turns out Kim has another admirer.

Reed: (Looks at him suspiciously) Who?

Ethan: Landon

Reed: (Looks at Ethan in amusement) What?

Ethan: Landon, yes, it seems he's been carrying a torch for her for quite sometime. 

Reed: And you think I'd care because...

Ethan: I just think you should be a little worried, considering that you and Kim are not on the best of terms at the moment. 

Reed: We weren't on the best of terms, that is until last night.

Ethan: What happened? Did she finally give it up?

Reed: Unfortunately no, which is quite annoying because I like to test drive a car before I buy it, if you know what I mean(Begins making a mimosa.). 

Ethan: So what changed?

Reed: Simple manipulation, I had fake papers made that looked identical to my bank papers. I told her money meant nothing to me and I burned them.(Sips his mimosa smugly)

Ethan: Good show old boy.

Reed: Why thank you, thank you very much. So you see why I'm not worried about that sniffling little jock, Landon. He's nothing compared to me. 

Ethan: I wouldn't say that, he is extremely caring for Kim and he always seems to be there for her when something goes wrong, plus he always out-shined you in the athletic department. 

Reed: (Looks at Ethan) Maybe, but I have Kim and he doesn't. 

Ethan: I'm just trying to help you keep your guard up, thats all. 

Reed: Ethan, Kim is a lady of breeding. She has grown accustomed to the finer things in life, Landon can not give her these things, I can. Believe me, Kim is head over heels for me. 

Ethan: The only reason she's head over heels for you is because she think she knows you. She doesn't know about all your devious little habits. I suggest you play it clean for a while. 

Reed: Perhaps your right, I should definitely keep my bases covered, especially now that I'm in a very fragile place with Kim. 

Ethan: That means no sleeping around. If you want Kim to think that you love her and that you're saving yourself for her, I suggest you keep it zipped. 

Reed: Lets not get too hasty Ethan. 

Ethan: Reed, I mean it, and the drinking and drugs has to stop too. Kim will start watching you very closely, mainly because her friends are advising her too. 

Reed: Damn them, you're right, I do need to be more careful. 

Ethan: Don't worry, just keep playing your 'all American boy' act and you'll keep Kim and your millions. 

Reed: (Hands Ethan a mimosa and holds up his glass.) To our little sucker, Kim!

They laugh and clink their glasses together

Meanwhile, outside in the parking lot Geneva has returned from Krispy Kreme with a box of donuts and some coffee. She's driving along in the parking lot, when suddenly a car in a parking space backs right in to her. Geneva gets out of her car in fury. The other driver gets out of his car, his name is Chase DeLozier. 

Chase: What the hell do you think you're doing?

Geneva: What I was doing? What about you? You're the one who backed into me! Did you lose your rearview mirror?

Chase: I don't know, did you lose your sense of sight all together?

Geneva: Hey, I was the one with the right away!

Chase: Oh thats right, you're one of those rich girls who thinks that the world revolves around them! What were you doing when I was backing out? Counting your money and playing with your diamond tiara? 

Geneva: Where the hell do you get off? You don't even know me! How dare you judge me!

Chase: Well it's not too hard for me to come to my conclusion, considering your car. 

Geneva: (Looks back at her car and then at him) What about my car?

Chase: A 2010 Mercedes E-Class, not even released yet, not a car an ordinary person of our age drives, I bet you bought it with daddy's money.

Geneva: Not that it's any of your business but it was gift, my father knows the owner. 

Chase: Of course your daddy knows the owner. You're a little rich bitch who could care less about anyone else's car, and if your's gets dinged, so what! You'll just have your daddy fix it. 

Geneva: (Completely in rage) How dare you make assumptions about me and my life, when you know nothing about me! You don't even know my name, so lets keep it that way! You're a judgmental, pinheaded jerk, who probably thrives upon arguments like this because it distracts you from how little your dick is!

Chase: (Gives her a cocky grin) 

Geneva: (Turns to get back in her car and then turns around at him) Oh and by the looks of your brand new Armani blazer and your 2009 Porsche, I'm guessing that not only are you a very wealthy person and a complete asshole, but your also a hypocrite! 

Geneva gets into her car and speeds off as Chase watches her smiling.
