NICOLE
(Angry and aggressive, emphasising mother)
Well mother, the bisexual part means both men and women turn me on; and the sadomasochist part means I find it incredibly erotic to have someone to own me as their own personal slave and property. Understand?
LAURA
(Nearly in tears and totally shocked)
Nicole just go, get out of my sight.
NICOLE
(Angry and very defensive)
Fine.
PAN RIGHT MS – Nicole gets up and storms out of the living room and slams the door behind her. Meanwhile Laura is in tears resting her head on her hands her hair flowing over and slightly covering her red face and the tears.
O.S – The sound of Nicole storming up the stairs is heard; minutes later heavy metal is heard coming from above.
MS – Laura meanwhile leans over and rests her head on the arm of the sofa. Laura then turns to look up at the ceiling and then with a look of determination on her face, gets up off the sofa and walks out the door.
CUT TO:
INT. HALLWAY/STAIRS – NIGHT
MS – Laura coming out of the living room manoeuvres round the green collection box that is there to allow recycling of rubbish. Laura places her right hand on the banister and steps up the stairs heading for Nicole’s room, where the music is getting louder.
CUT TO:
INT. LANDING – NIGHT
MS – Laura has just reached the top of the stairs, Laura heads toward Nicole’s room and knocks at the door. Laura receives no reply from Nicole. Laura cautiously turns the door handle and steps in she looks around, she finds Nicole lying on the bed face down crying. Laura then goes to sit at the end of the bed.
TWO-SHOT – Laura is sitting at the end of the bed, while Nicole is laying face down trying to hide her face with Laura massaging her bare feet.
LAURA
(Calmer and less angry)
Look, I was a little shocked and upset to see my seventeen-year-old daughter in bed with another women and then to find out that you’re a bisexual sadomasochist. Well it’s a little too much to take in at the same time.
Nicole turns round still laying on the bed resting on her elbow with a bright red face as though she had been crying all the time.
NICOLE
(Wiping the tears off her face)
I thought you were meant to be my mum. I thought that you loved me and protected me?
LAURA
(Still sitting on the edge of the bed)
I do but when you announce something as underground as sadomasochism, I’m bound to be shocked.
Nicole then sits up and moves towards the end of the bed to join Laura.
NICOLE
(Still upset)
But at least you could have been a little understanding towards my sexuality.
LAURA
(Looking up with her face as her body language gave away that she was thinking)
I’m a lesbian too you know. Did you think that I was about to give my only daughter a hard time about being bisexual?
NICOLE
(Wiping some tears off her face still)
I mean about my sadomasochism sexuality or didn’t you know that sadomasochism or SM as it’s known is sexuality?
LAURA
(Upset)
All right I didn’t know that SM is classed as a sexuality but I’m willing to try and understand.
NICOLE
(Blowing her nose)
At least that’s a beginning

A black car with slightly tinted windows enters the street; slowly the car drives up the street and pulls up opposite a house still in the middle of the road. A women driver gets out dressed in a black trousers and a black tight top wearing a black sunglasses and a trench coat, leaves the car with the driver’s door open and holding a white rose walks over to the wall of the house and places the white rose on the pavement. The women stands there with head dipped for two minutes after which she walks back to the car, gets in and drives off. Her mobile telephone RINGS and she answer’s it.

TWO-SHOT – Nicole wearing a tight black top, with black jeans and underneath a black lace bra with a black boots and Anna wearing a long denim skirt with a khaki coloured short sleeved shirt with pale coloured sandals are sitting in the classroom with River who is wearing blue jeans and a black shirt with doc martins. Nicole is eyeing Anna up after sleeping with her in the afternoon the day before.
NICOLE
(Looking at Anna)
You look exceedingly attractive in that outfit
ANNA
(Smiling)
Thanks
RIVER
(Looking at both Nicole and Anna)
I’ve got an idea why don’t you two sleep together
ANNA
(Looking at River and smiling)
What makes you think we haven’t already slept together?
RIVER
(Sarcastically)
Maybe I already know you have
NICOLE
(Giving a puzzled look to River)
Really?
RIVER
(Giving an evil grin)
Yeah! Besides everyone knows that you two want to get it on with each other
ANNA
(Curious)
And how would you know?
RIVER
(Leaning back in his chair)
I have contacts
NICOLE
(Sarcastically to River)
Contacts? Don’t you mean your pecker!
RIVER
(Placing his head on his folded arms and doing a mocking laugh)
Were you at Piccadilly Circus last night?
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM – DAY
MS – Nicole is sitting at her desk in her bedroom while listening to heavy metal/rock music, while writing in her diary about the day’s events. Nicole is writing in black ink in a hardback A5 diary with a fluffy white rabbit by her side with the curtains directly behind her drawn while the other curtains are closed.
VOICE OVER - NICOLE
I went shopping today, after having River insinuated that Anna and I were sleeping together. I wonder if he actually knows that that’s the truth? That’s beside the point of why I’m writing, I got to the shop in question and entered as usual went strolling around or browsing depending on how you look at things.
Nicole takes a pause from writing as we see her lean backwards chewing her pen and twiddling it between her fingers.
VOICE OVER - NICOLE
When I saw the most gorgeous pair of eyes imaginable, along with an attractive body and looks. Her tanned skin shined in the artificial light of the fluorescent tube lights like the moonlight on a crystal clear lake, with her long sensuous jet-black hair flowing over her shoulders and down her back, along with her puppy brown eyes. Just sitting there at the check out doing nothing in particular. I should have really gone to her check out and started chatting to her but her looks were amazing a bit like Anna’s really, she could have had an amazing seductive voice but I didn’t get the chance as I was shy and I didn’t want to ruin my relationship with Anna. Then again I don’t have a relationship with Anna, I just slept with her the once. But is that enough to warrant a consideration of her feelings? I mean I do like her but I also have a relationship with River and it’s unfair to him. I’m going to have to make a decision.
MS – Nicole gets up from the desk and heads out of the room.
CUT TO:
INT. STAIRS – DAY
MS – Nicole is heading down the stairs; Nicole looks to her left as to see if Laura arrived home earlier, she stops and types in a code for the alarm and dashes out the door. The door slams shut and a BANG is heard.

The door CREAKS open as River is revealed, wearing black jeans and a dark blue top which looks to be a industrial in its construction.
RIVER
(Surprised)
Hi Nicole
NICOLE
(Nervously)
Hi River, look can I come because there’s something I have to tell you
RIVER
(Puzzled)
Okay, you better come in
(Nervously stepping out the way)
My parents are out at the moment, so we can talk wherever you feel comfortable
NICOLE
(Trying not to make eye contact with River as she passes)
Thanks, I think the living room

CUT TO:
INT. LIVING ROOM – DAY
TWO-SHOT – Nicole and River enter the living room River is the first to enter the room. The living room ceiling is white, as the walls are painted blue as the contrast is vibrant which makes the room look bright and spacious than it actually is. The sofa is made out of textured cloth that gives the sofa an uncomfortable feel as Nicole sits down running her hand across the sofa. Nicole looks at the curtain, they’re dark blue to contrast with the walls along with this there also hung on rails that are stainless steel.
NICOLE
(Nervously pointing)
I see your parents are into the industrial look
RIVER
(Puzzled)
What?
NICOLE
(Playing with her fingers)
The curtain rail is stainless steel indicating an industrial look
RIVER
(Not interested)
Oh
NICOLE
(Looking at River)
River, You know that I love you and that you’ve been a great boyfriend but I think we should spend sometime apart
RIVER
(Upset and beginning to cry)
What? You’re dumping me? I mean I saw you walk hand in hand with Anna the other afternoon
NICOLE
(Nervously)
I kind of guessed that when you started making those remarks. You’re a great guy but I have some issues which I have to sort out now and it means some people are going to get hurt and I don’t want anyone to be led on.
RIVER
(Upset and crying)
So it’s over all the times we’ve been together and all the things we’ve shared, it means nothing to you?
NICOLE
(Upset)
Look River, it isn’t easy for me either, I mean I like you but it’s not going to work out between us. Trust me.
MS - Nicole gets up from the sofa and heads towards the door, while River is sitting on the sofa leaning onto his hands that are being supported by his arms resting on his legs.
RIVER
(Crying)
Where are you going?
NICOLE
(Looking at River)

Nicole then places the earplugs into her ears and walks round the corner at the top of River’s street.
CUT TO:
INT. KITCHEN – DAY
MS – Nicole is back at home in the kitchen opening a bag of Java Coffee that Laura bought recently from the local supermarket. Nicole grabs a teaspoon from the draw and takes out one spoonful of coffee and places it in a jug, after which Nicole then boils the kettle and grabs a mug off the stainless steel shelf and places two spoon full of sugar and a little bit of mineral water out the stainless steel fridge. Nicole looks at the kettle after it automatically switches itself off; Nicole waits thirty seconds before pouring a mug full of boiling water into the jug with the coffee in it. Nicole switches the TV on which is on a mounting on the kitchen wall, the news comes on. Nicole looks at her watch, as time seems to pass more slowly than ever. Taking out another spoon Nicole stirs the mixture of boiling water and Java coffee for a final time before letting the coffee settle to the bottom of the jug before pouring the water into the mug. Nicole then stirs the mug of coffee in a clockwise fashion and then changing direction to go anti-clockwise and back again before throwing the spoon into the sink and going into the living room.
CUT TO:
INT. LIVING ROOM – DAY
MS – Nicole is sitting on the sofa holding the cup of coffee in her hands while watching a programme on satellite TV. When the phone rings, Nicole leans over the arm of the sofa and checks the caller ID on the display. It’s River, Nicole leans back over the sofa and carries on watching the programme. The phone stops ringing as Nicole takes a sip of the coffee and puts her feet up on the sofa so her whole body is now strewn across the sofa. Nicole leans over the arm of the sofa and picks up the handset of the phone that is on the wooden floor, resting in the black plastic holder. Nicole then places her cup of coffee next to the holder on the floor and dials the number into the phone and then presses the dial out number to dial. The number that Nicole dialled is Anna’s. The dial tone is heard and then the ringing tone is heard, Anna’s mother answers the call. Her name is THORA.
FILTER for Thora:

Hello
NICOLE
Hi, is Anna there please?

THORA
She’s just coming.
NICOLE
Thank you.
ANNA
Hi Nicole, how are you?
NICOLE
I’m fine, just had to dump River
ANNA
What!?
NICOLE
I had to, I mean I couldn’t exactly lead him on knowing what I feel and that I’m trying to find my footing
ANNA
I just didn’t expect it.
NICOLE
Why?
ANNA
I thought you two would stay together forever, it was like you two were soul mates.
NICOLE
Yeah, things change and people change as well.
ANNA
(Puzzled)
Suppose, you didn’t dump River to come after me did you?
NICOLE
(Turning to face the ceiling on the sofa and resting her head on the arm of the sofa)
Why are you asking that?
ANNA
Because I’m curious.
NICOLE
Is it because you just want me?
ANNA
Maybe
NICOLE
(Fidgeting on the sofa)
I’ve got the house to myself, why don’t you come over?
ANNA
You’re a bit upfront aren’t you?
NICOLE
Hmm… Not really, not that upfront.
ANNA
So you want me to come over to your house to keep you company? Aren’t you a bit old for that stuff now?
NICOLE
Not really, I mean, I always like someone to cosy up to.
ANNA
In bed or on the sofa
NICOLE
Both, if you want.
ANNA
I can’t get that sexual over the phone; my mum can hear what I’m saying.
NICOLE
Really, so I can’t really say that I want to kiss your smooth silk like body all over and then hold you in my arms.
ANNA
(In a slightly shocked voice)
Nicole!
NICOLE
(In an inquisitive voice)
What?
ANNA
Okay, I’ll come over.
NICOLE
(In an enthusiastic voice)
Thank you.
