INT. OCEAN & COLLINS NIGHTCLUB – NIGHT

Lydia walks towards Jack and Alex who are on the dancefloor. She passes Batty Patty who is sat down, her leg in agony.

Bouncer: Can I get you an ambulance?

Patricia: **** the ambulance! Get me another drink sweetie!

Jack and Alex and dancing, smiling at one another.

Alex: Jack, I want to tell you something…

“Scream” by Timbaland plays as Lydia hits the dancefloor. She interrupts Alex before she gets a chance to reveal her feelings to Jack.

Lydia: Sweeties! How you feeling it!?

Alex: Yeah it’s good!

Jack: You wanted to tell me something?

Lydia: You can talk anytime, now’s time for dancing!

Lydia begins to dance provocatively, showing off her slim figure. She rubs her hands over her breasts trying to get Jack’s attention.

Lydia: I loooove this song!

Before long Lydia is practically rubbing herself up and down Jack, to Alex’s horror. Jack steps aside from her.

Jack: What are you doing Lydia?

Lydia: Dancing baby, you like?

Jack: No…what’s wrong with you, you’re acting like a tart!

Lydia: But I thought you liked me!?

Jack: Liked you? In what way…

Lydia: Oh come on, you’ve been giving me the eye long enough!

Alex is lost for words, feeling completely betrayed by Lydia.

Jack: You’re so wrong Lydia! I don’t like you that way…

Lydia: What!?

Jack: I’m sorry, but you’re just a friend.

Alex begins to smile as he says this, her hopes raised. Lydia pretends not to be bothered.

Lydia: Well whatever, you’re loss ennit?

Lydia walks off, back towards the VIP area. Liam hands her a glass of champagne. He has a smug look on his face.

Lydia: Not, a, word. Alright?

Liam: Babe, that was some fierce rejection there!

Lydia: I just don’t believe it, is he gay or something!?

Liam: No way, he’s too much into that girl. It’s obvious that he likes her.

Lydia: Well I don’t get what he sees in the little skank. I am that bad!?

Liam: I wouldn’t know darling, I’m gay.

Lydia: He as good as called me a tart…

Liam: The way you were dancing, I think he’s got a point…

Lydia sips her drink, giving Alex and Jack daggered looks.

Liam: Just forget about him, and find someone else babe.

Lydia: Oh no, he’s not going to fob me off that easily. I always get what I want, don’t you worry…

Lydia watches as Jack and Alex laugh with one another, she grinds her teeth, seething with jealousy.

:( Oh dear, I wouldn't like to get on Lydia's bad side. Scary lady.

I dont like her.. know a far too many people like her.. always wants to get "her man", splits up a couple and then dumps the guy... :angry::angry: if she only wants a bed buddy, get it on with Mickey

Grrrr don't like Lydia! Can't believe she did that!

Oh we have a touch of the old gay/confussed issues coming out with Reece. Lydia has a lot of skeletons in the cupboard she's been starved off affection by her Dad all her life and the only way she thinks she can get it is by having sex with every guy with a pulse.

Marcus: Easy now…

Jess: I’m fine.

Marcus: You look it.

Jess: I’m just a little tipsy, that’s all.

Marcus: A bit more than that I’d say…

Jess: Speaks the alcoholic, you’ve been in there since three o clock…

Marcus: Ah, I blame you, you’re a bad influence on me…

Jess: Don’t you go blaming me matey, I didn’t force you to drink them pints!

Marcus: No but you gave me an incentive to stay…

There is a moments silence between the pair as they walk back towards halls.

Marcus: I’d have never have thought it, drinking with one of my students…

Jess: What, you think you’re too cool to hang with any of us?

Marcus: No, not at all. I just never thought I’d have so much in common with someone so young…

Jess: Yeah well, I’m mature for my age.

Marcus: You certainly are, and very beautiful too…

Jess: Oh shut up, you drunken fool.

Marcus: No, honestly.

The pair stop for a moment, Jess looks into Marcus’ eyes, to suss out what he’s trying to say.

Jess: You wouldn’t be coming on to me now would ya?

Marcus: Maybe…

Jess: What would the principle say about that?

Marcus: **** the principle…

Marcus leans in and kisses Jess, she responds and the pair share a passionate kiss in the middle of the street.

Jess: This is crazy!

Marcus: What is!?

Jess: You’re twice me age!

Marcus: I want you so bad!

Marcus buries himself in Jess neck, kissing her passionately once more. Jess succumbs and grabs hold of him.

Jess: Come on, let’s go back to halls.

She grabs his hand and the pair run back to her halls, giving one another lustful looks along the way.

Lydia, Reese, Liam and several others are sat in the VIP area.

Liam: God this place is dry, why don’t we liven things up a bit…

Lydia: Another round of drinks?

Liam: **** drinks, let’s have some fun, how about truth or dare?

The group seem to liven up at the prospect of playing the game.

Lydia: That’s what we’re talking about!

Liam: Up for it Reese?

Reese: Oh I dunno…

Liam: Go on, you might enjoy it :p

Reese is a bit put off by Liam’s flirtatious nature.

Liam: Lydia, you start, truth or dare?

Lydia: Truth…

Girl: Have you ever had anal?

Liam: Bloody hell gal, you don’t waste no time do ya!? Skip to the dirty questions or what!?

Girl 2: Come on, we’re all friends here…

Lydia: Ok yeah I have…

Liam: Dirty cow!

Lydia: What can I say? I was drunk? Try everything once!

Girl 1: Sick!

The group laugh at Lydia’s openness.

Liam: How about you Reese, you done it doggy style?

Reese: No…of course not…

Liam: Yeah sure, I’ll believe you…

Reese: I haven’t!

Liam: We’ll get the truth out of you one way or another.

Reese begins to feel uneasy around Liam.

Lydia: Who’s next?

Liam: Reese! Truth or dare!?

Reese suddenly looks worried, and does anything to avoid further questioning.

Reese: Dare.

Girl 1: Ooooo!

Liam: I dare you…to get off with me…

Reese: What the ****!? No way!

Liam: Oh come, where’s the harm?

Reese: I’m not gay man, it’s sick!

Liam: If you aint gay, then what’s the problem? It’s just a kiss!

Reese: Fine!

Reese leans in for a brief kiss, but Liam grabs hold of him and lowers him onto the sofa, launching himself in for a full on snog. The group are speechless, some amused, some horrified.

Reese: Get the **** off me man!

Reese runs off, to the entertainment of the others.

Lydia: What the **** was that about Liam!?

Liam: I wanted to see if he was gay…

Lydia: And!?

Liam: He’s gay alright, no doubt about it.

Liam has a look of satisfaction on his face, as she sees a worried Reese run off.

Alex: Reese, are you okay!?

Reese: Just leave me alone!

Reese hurries out of the club. Alex looks at Jack, concerned.

Alex: We’d best go with him…

Jack: No, leave him, he probably wants some space…

Alex: I hope he’s okay…

Jack: He’s probably just a little drink.

Alex takes a sip of her drink, and stops worrying about Reese.

Jack: So, what were you gonna tell me earlier?

Alex: Eh?

Jack: Before Lydia interrupted…

Alex: Oh it doesn’t matter…

Jack: It sounded important…

Alex: Forget it, it’s nothing…

Jack: I think I know what this is about…

Alex: You do?

Jack: You like me don’t you?

Alex: Who told you!?

Jack: No one, but you do don’t you?

Alex: Yeah…I kinda do…

Jack: Well I like you too…

Alex’s face lights up, hearing this.
