Freshers (New 10 Part Drama Series)

INT. HALLS (JACK’S ROOM) – DAY

Jack Bevan is sat in his room, playing his guitar. Slowly he plays “Under the Bridge” by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Every chord is played to perfection, he is clearly talented.

Jack: (Sings) I don't ever want to feel, Like I did that day. Take me to the place I love, Take me all the way.

Alex appears in the doorway, having heard his singing.

Alex: The chillis eh?

Jack stops playing and looks up at Alex, pleased she knows who they are.

Jack: You a fan?

Alex: God yeah, one of my favourite bands.

Jack: Thank god, I thought I’d be stuck with a bunch who love R&B.

Alex: No, rocker girl at heart me.

Jack: Glad to hear it. Come on in. I’m Jack.

Alex: Alex…

Alex sits down beside Jack.

Jack: So who else you into then?

Alex: God loads, Elliot Minor, Fall Out Boy, Led Zep…

Jack: Oh my god! Led Zep is like my favourite band ever!

Alex: Yeah, my dad brought up on their songs.

Jack: Well he raised you well.

Alex: Yeah. I’m gonna miss him.

Jack: Hey, don’t worry, he’s only a train ride away…

Jack grabs hold of her hand, Alex looks at him, and smiles.

Alex: Yeah, ‘suppose. I take it your doing music here then?

Jack: Yeah, how about you?

Alex: Psychology.

Jack: Ooo, wanna get into all our mind’s do you?

Alex: More like my own, let’s just say my life is…

Jack: Pretty ****ed up? Who’s isn’t man? I’d be concerned if it wasn’t…

Alex: God I don’t know if this is the right decision, what if I don’t fit in?

Jack: Hey, of course you’ll fit in.

Alex: Yeah but Lydia…

Jack: She’s just showing off, she’s all front, but she’ll be alright given time.

Alex: I know but…

Jack: Look it’s new times for all of us, you’re not the only one to have second thoughts, just stick with it though, see how it goes. And if all goes tits up we can just whack on a Led Zep record and forget about the world, how’s that sound?

Alex: That sounds great. Thanks :)

Jack: No worries. Now how about we go meet the others. Come on.

The pair get up. Alex smiles at Jack, grateful for his words of support.

I sense some chemistry between Alex and Jack.

INT. HALLS (JESS’ ROOM) – DAY

Jess is sat at her desk, checking her emails on her laptop. All she can hear from next door is the noise of a bed frame banging against the wall, and a lot of moaning and groaning.

She bites her lips in annoyance, and tries to ignore it, but the noises continue to get louder. She gets up, clearly angry at being disturbed.

She storms out into the coridoor and bangs fiercely on Micky’s door.

INT. HALLS (MICKY’S ROOM) – DAY

Jess: Open the ****ing door!

A few moments later Micky opens the door, dressed in only his underpants, his hair is ruffled and he looks flustered.

Micky: Jess isn’t it?

Jess: Yeah…

Micky: You kind of caught me in the middle of something…

Jess: So I heard, keep it down will you?

Micky: Eh?

Jess: They can probably hear you in Portsmouth; have some ****ing respect for everyone else yeah?

Micky: Easy on girl, I’m only having a bit of fun.

In the background the two girls from earlier shuffle around in Micky’s bed, agitated.

Jess: Yeah well, do it quietly or something…

Micky: You can’t control the sounds of passion…

Jess: It’s called a gag.

Micky: Look I don’t know what you get up to in the privacy of your own room, but…

Jess: Just cut the wise remarks and give it a rest yeah?

Micky: What’s your problem exactly?

Jess: Stop being a prick and just do what I ask!

Micky: God you’re a fiery one, I like it. You sure you don’t want to join us? I’ve never had a manage et quatre before, but I’m open to new things…

Jess: I’d rather eat my own faeces…

Micky: Ooo kinky, you’ll have to tell me what it’s like sometime…

Jess: Threesomes? You’ve only been here five seconds!

Micky: What can I say, I move fast.

Jess: More fool them.

Micky: Oh come, on, can you blame them eh?

Jess: Jesus Christ, you’re so full of it…

Micky: Well technically I’d say they’re the ones full of…

Jess: Enough alright!? Sexist pig! You think you can just give the patter and lead anyone to bed?

Micky: Pretty much yeah…

Jess: There’s words for people like you?

Micky: Stud?

Jess: Pervert.

Micky: Harsh!

Jess: Keep it down, or I’ll call security.

Micky: If you can’t beat them, join…

Jess: Oh shut up!

Jess storms off back to her room, Micky has a grin on his face, enjoying winding her up.

Micky: Deny it all you like, you know you want me!

Jess: **** off!

Micky returns to his room, rubbing his hands together.

Micky: Right ladies, where were we?

Micky jumps onto the bed, and starts to ravage them. The scene returns to Jess’s room as she hears the loud laughter and screaming, she grinds her teeth in annoyance.

INT. HALLS (KITCHEN) – DAY

Alex, Jack, Lydia, Reese and Ash are sat in the kitchen getting to know one another.

Lydia: So you play the guitar then?

Jack: Yeah been playing since I was seven…

Lydia: Sweet, nothing hotter than a musician. I’m doing performance here, you know acting and all that…

Ash: Ah we’re sat with the next Keira Knightley then.

Lydia: God no, hope to aim higher than that stick insect.

Alex and Ash look at one another, noticing that Lydia is just as thin as Keira Knightley is. Jack looks over at Reese, who is still looking down.

Jack: You alright mate? You look down…

Reese: I’m alright I suppose, just missing my girlfriend…

Jack: Love eh? Is it worth all the trouble?

Alex: Course it is, all you need is love.

Jack: Beatles. Love it.

Alex and Jack look at one another, smiling at their musical connections. Lydia tries to turn the conversation back to her.

Lydia: Man we’re too young to be falling in love. It’s all **** anyway, people fall in and out of love all the time, men are like fashions, they change.

Alex: Oh I dunno about that…

Lydia: No offence sweetie, but you’ve as good as said you’re not expert with that. Look we’ll all young we might aswell just play the field and enjoy being single. Give it ten years, we’ll have rings on our fingers and a swarm of little brats, make the most of the time we have now.

Jack: Forever the optimist eh?

Lydia: All I’m saying is I’m not at uni to learn, I’m hear to ****ing party. Starting tonight, it’s gonna be well good.

Reese: Don’t know if I’m feeling it…

Lydia: Oh it’s just what you need, get ****ed off your face and forget all your worries! Eh Ash, you like one of them strict Muslims?

Ash: How do you mean?

Lydia: Like can you do things, or are you meant to give up all the good stuff?

Ash: Well my parents have always stopped me, but…

Lydia: Well you’re parents aint here now girl, don’t you worry I’ll show you a good time tonight.

Ash: Oh I don’t know, I’ve never drunk before…

Lydia: You dunno what you’re missing darl’!

Ash looks a little worried, Alex notices this.

Alex: Don’t worry, I’m in the same boat, we’ll just go at our own pace, don’t let anyone force you to do anything…

Lydia: Oh listen to the pair of you! We’re eighteen not eighty!

Jack: Give it a rest eh Lydia?

Alex smiles at Jack for standing up for her. Lydia realises she’s overstepped the line.

Lydia: Look I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…it’s just partying is all I know. I’ve been doing all this since I was fourteen…

Jack: Yeah well, that’s the beauty of university, we’re all different…

Lydia: Yeah, but you seem my kind of guy Jack.

Before anyone can comment, Jess walks into the room, annoyed.

Alex: Hey Jess, you alright?

Jess: No, ****ing Micky turning his room into a knock in shop, can’t hear myself think!

Lydia: Don’t blame him, make the most of it’s what I say.

Moments later Micky walks in, the usual grin on his face.

Micky: Afternoon all :D

Jess: Finished?

Micky: For now…

Jess: Well don’t make a habit of it, alright!?

Lydia: Oi guys, let’s not argue eh? It’s only day one, we’ve gotta get on…

Jess: Have we now?

Jack: Nah, Lydia’s right for once, we’ve got a year together. No good falling out is there?

Micky: Of course not! Come here Jess, give Micky a big old friendly hug!

Micky tries to grab hold of Jess but she pushes him away, annoyed. He smiles, enjoying winding her up.

Alex: Well, hear’s to a fun year together eh?

Lydia: Amen to that one darl’, bring on tonight’s all I say :D

Lydia is full of enthusiasm, but there’s mixed emotions amongst the group at the thought of a night out.

EXT. STUDENT HALLS – NIGHT

Nightfall. “Get The Party Started” By Pink plays over a montage of the gang getting ready to go out.

INT. HALLS (LYDIA’S ROOM) – NIGHT

Lydia tries on several designer dresses and shoes, and styles her hair elegantly, looking like a supermodel.

She takes a swig from her champagne bottle, and snorts a line of cocaine. She then pouts in the mirror as she bronzes her face.

INTERCUT:

INT. HALLS (ASH’S ROOM) – NIGHT

Ash looks through her wardrobe, with all her modest clothing. None of it is trendy or revealing, she agonises over what to wear.

She looks at herself in the mirror, and realises how unattractive she looks without make up, she looks over the coridoor to see Lydia glammed up and ready for a good night out, and ends up feeling disheartened.

INTERCUT:

INT. HALLS (MICKY’S ROOM) – NIGHT

Micky prances around his room shirtless, looking like Ricky Martin. He has a spring in his step, reading for a night on the pull.

He sprays a can full of deodorant over himself, before putting on his legendary pulling shirt – a hideous stripy Hawaiian design. He douses himself in aftershave and checks himself out in the mirror, full of confidence.

INTERCUT:

INT. HALLS (REESE’S ROOM) – NIGHT

Reese sits in his roomed, dressed in the same clothes as early. He sits at his laptop and looks at a picture of him and Kelly, and another lad “Josh”, he agonises over the picture. He’s clearly not in the mood to have a fun night out.

INTERCUT:

INT. HALLS (JESS’S ROOM) – NIGHT

Jess digs out the most alternative pieces of clothing she can find: fishnet tights, torn denim skirt and a black corset.

She applies a ton of black makeup to her face, and hairsprays her wild and frizzy hair. She looks like something out of a punk rock video. She is pleased to stand out from the crowd.

INTERCUT:

INT. HALLS (ALEX’S ROOM) – NIGHT

Alex throws all her clothes over the bed, trying to decide what to wear, she holds a series of different outfits against herself, looking into the mirror, deciding what to wear. Nothing seems to suit her.

She starts to apply make up and straighten her hair, trying to make herself look impressive for Jack.

INTERCUT:

INT. HALLS (JACK’S ROOM) – NIGHT

Jack jumps around his room, air guitaring to one of his rock anthems. He scruffs up his hair in the mirror. He grabs the first thing at hand, a who t shirt and puts it on, always mr chilled, he doesn’t give what he’s wearing a second thought.

He looks over the coridoor into Alex’s room, she is unaware he is watching. He looks over at her and smiles to himself. She suddenly terms and sees him, she smiles back.

INTERCUT:

INT. HALLS – NIGHT

Their moment is short lived, as one by one the gang step out of their rooms, dressed up and ready for a night out on the tiles.

Lydia: Right then, cab’s waiting, everyone ready!?

Micky: Where we gonna go?

Lydia: Dunno, Alex where’s best?

Alex: Junk’s suppose to be good.

Lydia: Junk it is then! Come on people, let’s get this party started!

One by one they filter out of the flat. Reese steps out of his room, a bit down. Alex holds his hand and smiles at him.

Alex: Come on, it’ll be a laugh.

Reese locks his door, and the pair follow the rest out of the flat, ready for a night out on the tiles...

I love this. Jack and Alex suit each other. Are they going to get it on?

I think I saw a spendaholics program on 'Lydia' last year. She must be racking up the debt, or is she a 'trust fund' babe?

I'm loving alex she is sweet, i think there will definitly be something between her and Jack. I am likeing Jess as well.

INT. JUNK NIGHTCLUB – NIGHT

Junk, a trendy nightclub is full of first-night freshers, all having a good time. “Wearing My Rolex” by Wiley is blasting out in the background, as the gang enter.

Jack: Great, RnB :rolleyes:

Alex: Give it a chance, it might not be too bad.

Jess: (To Micky) Hey Micky, aren’t they the girls you had in your room earlier?

Micky looks over to see the same too girls, all over another boy in the VIP area. Jess delights in Micky’s embarrassment.

Jess: Can’t have been that great eh?

Micky: Plenty more fish in the sea, the night’s young yet…

Jess: God help us all.

Lydia, a pro at the clubbing scene, leads the gang to the bar.

Lydia: Right, let’s all get some shots down us! On me!

The gang cheer, Ash looks uncomfortable.

Ash: I’m just gonna go to the toilet…

Alex: (Concerned) Are you ok?

Ash: I’ll be back in a bit.

Ash scurries off, Alex is left without her fellow drink virgin.

Lydia: Screw her then! Don’t mean we can’t all have a good time, eh!?

Jack detects that Alex is a bit nervous.

Jack: Hey, don’t worry, it’s only a bit of vodka…

Alex: I know…

Jack: Don’t feel forced to drink it…

Alex: No I want to. God I bet you think I’m a right looser.

Jack: Not at all, you’re the soundest person I’ve meet yet.

Alex smiles at Jack’s compliment. The barman lines up six shot glasses and fills them each with vodka. Lydia gathers the gang around the bar, as they all pick up the shot glasses.

Lydia: Come on! Three, two, one! Down the hatch!

They all neck their shots, and pull their faces at the aftertaste.

Lydia: Wooo! That’s what I’m talking about!

Jack: (To Alex) See, not too bad was it.

Lydia: (To barman) Keep them coming darling!

Reese: You sure you can afford all these?

Lydia: I’m not paying, daddy is. Hell, if I can’t treat my new friends, who can I treat eh?

Jess begins talking to Micky, presuming he still beside her.

Jess: Can’t wait to see you fail with your cheesy chat up lines.

She turns to face him, but sees that he is already getting off with some random brunette beside her. Jess pulls a face in disapproval.

Lydia gestures for the remaining guys to take another shot.

Lydia: Come on, get another one down you!

They follow her orders and shot down some more vodka. Lydia turns to Alex.

Lydia: See, you’re a natural to this! Knew you would be!

Jack: You make sure you pace yourself alright?

Lydia: Pacing is for losers, Alex knows how to handle herself. Think I’ve got myself a new drinking buddy here! You and me girl, we’re gonna be the next Paris and Nicole!

Alex: Who?

Lydia: Never mind sweetie! Come on! Let’s dance!

Lydia drags herself to the dance floor. Alex looks slightly horrified, gesturing for Jack to come with her. The others follow on.

INT. JUNK NIGHTCLUB – NIGHT

Half an hour later “Gimme More” by Britney Spears is playing. Lydia is full of energy, dancing provocatively in the middle of the dance floor, trying to get Reese to cheer up.

Lydia: Come on darl’, let’s see a smile on your face!

Jess is talking to another punk rocker in the corner, they seem to be getting on well. Alex and Jack are dancing with one another, despite it not being their kind of music they are enjoying each other’s company.

Jack: How you feeling now?

Alex: Good yeah.

Jack: See, told you you’d be alright in the end…

Alex: Yeah, thanks.

Ash finally remerges from the toilets, she tries to avoid Lydia seeing her, as she tries to sneak out of the club, but Lydia spots her.

Lydia: Oi! Ash! Over here babe!

Ash comes over, flustered.

Ash: Look, I think I’m gonna head back to halls, this aint my scene really…

Lydia: Nonsense darl’, the night’s young yet! You aint going anywhere!

Ash feels compelled to stay; she begins dancing with Lydia and Reese. The camera moves over to Micky who is in his element dancing with anyone or anything.

He stumbles over to a girl who is dancing raunchily.

Micky: Yeah, that’s It baby, just like that, you work that booty!

She looks at him like he’s a pervert and continues dancing with her friends.

Micky: Oh don’t be like that! I’m just admiring the view!

Girl: **** off!

Micky staggers over to a couple of girls who are sat on a sofa.

Micky: Ladies! Sexy ladies! How are you all tonight?

Girl 1: Good thanks…you?

Micky: I’m absolutely bloody brilliant! Can I get you all drinks?

Girl 2: We’re good thanks!

Micky: Oh come on! Don’t play hard to get! What you drinking?

Girl 2: I’ve think you’ve had enough!

Micky: Never! I’m a Irish boy, I can handle my drink!

Girl 3: Doesn’t look like it!

Micky: Wanna bet!? You girls get yourself up to that bar now, and I’ll just show you!

Girl 1: Go and bug someone else!

Micky: Rude!

Micky staggers off, bumping into Jess.

Micky: Look who it is! Jessica!!!

Jess: Micky…

Micky: You’ll have a drink with me won’t you!?

Jess: What? Ran out of girls to chat up…

Micky: Don’t know what’s got into them all. They don’t wanna know…

Jess: So much for the charms of Micky Murphy eh?

Micky: Meh, they have no taste, Junk by name, Junk by nature eh!?

Jess: You tell yourself that…

Jess walks away from Micky.

Micky: Oi, where are you going?

Jess: Away from you!

Micky: Charming!

Micky shouts out to the club.

Micky: Come on! Who wants a quickie with Nine Inch Nigel!? Anyone!? Come one! I’ll throw in a kebab!

Everybody stares at Micky, and begins laughing at the state that he’s got himself into it.

Micky: Fine! You’re slags anyway! It’d be like throwing a sausage down a coridoor anyway!

Micky staggers to the bar, falling over and grabbing hold of a bar stoll as he lands.

Micky: Barman! A shot of your finest vodka please!

As Micky gets up, he sees a group of bouncers surrounding him.

Micky: Time to go? (They nod) Thought so! Ah well, you can’t blame a guy for trying!

INT. JUNK NIGHTCLUB – NIGHT

Jess returns to the group, who are dancing away to the latest club anthem.

Alex: Hey Jess! Where’s Micky!?

Jess: Dunno, think I saw some bouncers chuck him out!

Alex: What for?

Jess: You shouldn’t seen the state of him! Off his face!

Lydia: Jess, come dance girl! Show these boys your moves!

Reluctantly Jess joins in dancing with Lydia, who is showing off to a group of boys.

All of a sudden the song changes to “I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor” by Artic Monkies. Jack’s face suddenly lights up.

Jack: Wehey! Now we’re talking!

Jack and Alex get lost in the music as they dance away happily to the Monkies. Reese sees that Ash isn’t enjoying herself.

Reese: You alright Ash?

Ash: Not really.

Reese: What’s up?

Ash: If tonight’s anything to go by, I dunno if I’m gonna fit in!

Reese: Of course you will! You’re fab! You’ve just gotta get use to all this!

Ash: Yeah, it’s just a lot to take in y’know?

Lydia returns to the pair of them, wrapping her arms around them.

Lydia: What you too standing around for!? Dance already!

Reese: Not really feeling it Lyd’…

Lydia: What you like, you moody buggers eh? Come on, let’s get some drinks down us…

Lydia drags the pair of them to the bar.

Ash: I really don’t know about this Lydia…

Lydia: Oh don’t be so silly Ash, you’ve gotta try it sooner or later.

Reese: She hasn’t gotta do anything…

Lydia: God’s sake! Lighten up a little and live! What person our age don’t drink!?

Ash: If my parents found out…

Lydia: They aint gonna find out darling, unless you tell ‘em!

Ash: I dunno Lydia.

Lydia: Come on, one drink, that’s all I ask. If you don’t like it – I’ll leave you alone. What d’ya say eh?

Ash: Ok then…

Lydia: Great! How about you Reese, anything?

Reese: Suppose, can’t make me feel any worse!

Lydia: That’s the spirit! Barman! Three Kyrptonites!

Ash: (Worried) What’s a Kryptonite?

Lydia: Oh they’re lush babe, 1 shot of abysinth, 3 shots of vodka and some port!

Reese: Jeeze! You tryna kill the girl!?

Lydia: Relax! It’s like fizzy pop! It might kill Superman, but it’ll take a damn lot more to kill me!

Lydia hands them all their drinks.

Lydia: Come on, down the hatch! Cheers!

They all drink their Kyrptonites.

Ash: This is actually quite nice!

Lydia: Wehey! Get it down you then girl! That’s more like it! A few more of them and you’ll be ready to party!

Ash continues drinking her drink.

Lydia: I know it’s hard darl, finding your feet and all, but we’ll help you out! Starting tomorrow!

Ash: Why? What’s happening tomorrow?

Lydia: You think I aint seen the clothes you’ve got in that wardrobe of yours! I’m taking you shopping girl! On me!

Ash suddenly looks a lot more relaxed, Reese smiles at her encouragingly; she begins to feel as though she could enjoy herself at university.

If it doesn't taste of it, it will certainly induce it - I though abysinth was illegal?

sound like you are speaking from experience.. mind you in UNI you try everything and don't ever think of the morning after

Ha! Went right through Uni without once drinking alcohol, or touching drugs.

I didn't drink until I moved to London and didn't have a car - up til then I had to drive everywhere, lol

absinthe, like you say she'll definitly regret that in the morning. I certainly did!

Man I had four pages to catch up on: Anyway poor Ash you can just imaging any parent going on like that. Sparks are flying between Mickey and Jess, he'd better hope he doesn't catch anything with all that bed hopping. As for Lydia I can't make up my mind if she's a little rich girl using Daddy's money like Demi Moore in St Elmo's Fire or is she on the game to feed her habit.

You think Lydia is a dock fairy? I hadn't considered that before :hmm:

She's either been tossed off to uni by Daddy so she's out of the road so he can spend time with his girlfriend who's not much older than Lyida so she's hitting the drink and drugs as a cry for help and attention or she is on the game.

INT. JUNK NIGHTCLUB – NIGHT

A while later. Jack and Alex are still dancing with another, clearly enjoying one another’s company. Alex stops dancing, looking tired.

Jack: You alright? D’ya need some air?

Alex: No I’ll be alright (To Jess) do you think we should go after Micky?

Jess: No, he’ll be fine, he’s probably chatting some girl up in another club as we speak…

Jack: (Jokes) Lucky girl…

The club goes mental as “Ayo Technology” by 50 cent & Justin Timberlake plays. Everyone starts to dance with one another. A group of lads start checking out Jess as she dances.

Lad 1: Alright sexy.

Jess ignores them and continues to dance with Jack and Alex.

Lad 2: Oi, wanna dance babycakes?

Lad 1: “Babycakes”? What the ****!? ****!

Jack: (To Jess) They talking to you?

Jess: Just ignore them.

Lad 1: Yo, punk bitch, I’m talking to you!

Jess turns to face the group of lads, annoyed at being insulted.

Jess: What the **** did you say!?

Lad 1: Wanna dance?

Jess: With you!?

Lad 1: What’s wrong with me!?

Jess: What’s right with you!? Chav!

Lad 2: Yo, ya wanna shut up ennit, tramp!

Jess: You ****ing what!?

Jess goes mad and starts pushing one of the lads. They react badly, ready for a fight, Alex looks scared as Jack intervenes.

Jess: You wanna ****ing say that again!? Moron!

Lad 1: ****ing frigid bitch!

Lad 2: Dyke!

Jess pushes Jack aside and launches herself at the lads, grabbing their hair and clawing at their face.

Lad 1: **** off, psycho bitch!

Alex: Jack! Do something!

Noticing the commotion, the bouncers head over to the dancefloor and try and separate them all.

Bouncer: Oi! Cut it out! Now!

Lad 2: Dirty little sket man!

Jess: Let me at them! ****ers!

One of the bouncers grabs Jess but she smacks him around the face.

Bouncer: Right. That’s it. Out.

Jack: You what!? She didn’t start it! It was them twats!

Bouncer: And we’re finishing it, come on, out, all of you!

The bouncers grabs hold of Jack, Alex and Jess, and escort them out of the club.

Jess: Get the **** off me!

On the way out they pass Lydia, Ash and Reese at the bar.

Lydia: What’s going on?

Jack: They’re throwing us out!

Lydia: What for!?

Reese: Come on Lyds, we’ve gotta go with ‘em…

Ash: But we can’t man! What about drinks!?

Lydia: Don’t worry, I’ve got loads back at halls, come on.

The three of them get up and follow Alex, Jack and Jess out of the club.

Ash: But the night’s young…

Reese: There’s plenty more nights Ash.

Reese wraps his arm around her as they leave the club.

Lydia: So much for 3am! :rolleyes:

EXT. JUNK NIGHTCLUB - NIGHT

The group are thrown out of the club by the bouncers.

Bouncer: Don’t think coming back here any time soon!

Jess: Stuff your poxy club! £2.50 a shot!? Rip off!

The group walk down the street away from the club.

Lydia: I don’t think I’ve ever left a club that early in my life.

Jack: Oh, how will you live it down?

Alex laughs at Jack’s attempt to lighten the mood.

Jess: I canny believe they didn’t throw out that perves! ****ing patriarchal society!

Reese and Ash follow behind, Ash is tipsy, with Reese helping her walk straight.

Ash: I was having so much fun, I wanted to stay! Can we stay?

Reese: It’s best we go Ash, we came together, we leave together…

Ash: But I want another drinky…

Reese: I think you’ve had enough for tonight love.

Up front, Jack walks between Lydia and Alex.

Lydia: So, you guys have a good night?

Jack: Yeah, it weren’t too bad.

Jess: Yeah, until them twats ruined the night!

Lydia: Hey isn’t that Micky?

At the end of the street is Micky. He sits on a bench next to an old Chinese man, who can’t speak a word of English. The pair are staring at a bottle of mineral water on the pavement.

Micky: You see, it’s like…life…it’s just so…confined you know? It’s like someone is bottling us up, and selling us life at £1.50 a bottle, and if you want to live you’ve gotta pay it! You know!? It’s like…paying for life! And that’s like…so…totally wrong?

Jack: Micky?

Micky: Jack! My main man! What you doing here!?

Jack: I could ask you the same question.

Micky: Why aren’t you in the club!?

Lydia: We got kicked out! So we’re taking the party back to halls!

Micky: Sounds like a plan to me!

All of a sudden “Weed” staggers out of an alleyway and hugs Micky.

Weed: Dude!

Micky: Dude!?

Weed: Wanna buy some weed!?

Lydia: God yeah! That’ll help us wind down! Nothing like a spliff to get the party started!

Weed: Sweet. Where’s the party at!?

Lydia: Drake block, come along.

Weed: Coooool.

Jack and Jess help Micky up. Micky looks at the Chinese man.

Micky: Care to join us Wu?

Bewildered, he gets up and follows the group, as they head down the street.

Micky: I’m forever blowing bubbles! Pretty bubbles in the air!

Before long the group all begin chanting along with Micky as they head back off to halls.

Lydia: How about you Al’, you enjoy yourself?

Alex: Yeah. I really did, I think I’m gonna fit in well around here.

Jack: That’s great to hear.

Jack grabs hold of Alex’s hand; she looks up at him and smiles.

Alex (Voice Over): I never imagined my first night at uni would involve us all stoned in a coridoor with a pot dealer and some random Chinese man, but for all it was worth, I’d made a great set of friends. It looked like I was going to enjoy university after all.

Fades out to “Time To Pretend” by MGMT.

Episode 2 - Rules Of Attraction

INT. HALLS (KITCHEN) – MORNING

The morning after. Alex, Ash and Micky are sat in the kitchen, each feeling the effects of the previous night.

Alex (Voice Over): Alcohol – the staple part of any Student’s diet. Who ever invented it has a lot to answer for – the biggest being the unpleasant feeling known as a hang over…

Micky: Never…again…

Alex: Until the next time eh?

Micky: No, I swear, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so rough in my life! And it was the first time I’ve not pulled in a club! I must be loosing my charm!

Alex: I’m sure it was just a blip Mick’.

Micky: Better be, don’t want to send mr porky into retirement just yet.

Alex: (laughs aloud) “Mr Porky”!?

Micky: Don’t ask.

The kitchen door opens and in staggers “Weed”, stoned as usual.

Micky: Dude! What you doing in our flat!?

Weed: Breakfast man.

Weed gets a carton of milk out of the fridge and starts drinking some.

Micky: What you doing!? That’s my milk man!

Weed: Sweet…

Micky grabs the milk off Weed.

Micky: No, not sweet! You try it you buy it!

Weed: It’s just milk dude…

Micky: No, it’s 88p for 2 litres, now come on, sod off out of our flat!

Micky ushers Weed out of the flat, as they leave Jack walks into the kitchen.

Jack: Morning…

Alex’s face lights up at the sight of Jack.

Alex: Morning, sleep well?

Jack: Yeah, that was some lethal weed last night…

Alex: Was my first time…

Jack: I don’t make a habit of it, it can **** your head up.

Alex: Yeah, I saw it with my brother…

Jack sits down, and looks over at Ash, who has her head buried in her hands.

Jack: You alright Ash?

Ash barely manages to let out a groan.

Alex: Get some aspiring down you Ash, that should make you feel better…

Jack: Where is everyone?

Alex: Reese and Jess have gone to enrol, I think Lydia’s still sleeping…

Jack: She doesn’t strike me as a morning person…

Alex: Just us then…

Jack smiles, their moment alone is cut short when Micky returns.

Micky: I tell ya, that Weed, off his head…

Alex: You ready to head into uni with me Mick?

Micky: In a bit yeah, but we have a problem…

Jack: What’s that mate?

Micky: What we gonna do with Wu?

The camera pans over to the other side of the kitchen where Wu, the old Chinese man from the night before, is crawled up asleep hugging a bottle of vodka.

The three look at one another, and then burst into laughter.
