Boseman High School Shenanigans: Episode 1

Outside Emily's House

Emily waits in frustration as Steve doesn't answer, and as neither of her parents respond to her texts.

In Bentley's Police Cruiser (Lily)

"Officer Bentley, what is this about?" Lily's father asks, nodding at his daughter in the back seat, through the mesh divider.


"I don't know," the woman admits. "There's something going on tonight, some investigation, but I haven't been part of it. But you heard the Sheriff, he believes you have information that can help, Lily."

Lily's mom isn't satisfied. "Officer, you're not talking us -- not taking our daughter somewhere dangerous, right?"

Bentley shakes her head. "I won't do that, ma'am. You have my word. To Serve and Protect, right?"

Emily's House

After arming themselves, Emily and Fred let themselves into the house quietly. It's mostly dark as the pair creeps into the kitchen wielding rock and axe. The sound of a television playing is noticeable instantly, no surprise given the scene Fred spied through the window.

Emily is frowning at the open and empty pizza box on the counter. A big one, extra-large, from Vinny's... and next to it, a handwritten note from her mother.

Emily! Your father and I have had a really stressful week, and need to start the weekend early. We're headed to Soaring Eagle for a long weekend. I left some gas and food money in the envelope on the fridge -- share it with your brother. I know school has been stressful this week as well -- treat yourselves! See you on Sunday!

Kisses and Squeezes!

-Mom

Fred's phone buzzes while Emily reads.

Lily: In cruiser with Bentley and parents. "Developing situation" at school 🫠
Lily: you guys need to see this!

Emily's House
Emily says, conveniently forgetting about all the times when her parents have done exactly this.

Following her axe-wielding boyfriend (?!) into the living room, she finds... her brother Steve, dozing on the couch. Pizza crusts are scattered around, there are a bunch of rolling papers on the coffee table, there's some kind of spring break college girl trash on the television, and the boy is snoring away in his tighty-whities.

It's a lovely scene.

Emily's House

Startled awake by his angry sister, Steve just sits there dumbly and takes it as she admonishes him. He tidies up a little in the living room, then pads, barefoot, into the kitchen.

"Hey! We're supposed to split that money! Don't take it all!" he complains, smelling of farts, pizza, and pot. Then he notices Fred, and leans casually against a kitchen cabinet, acting as if all this is no big thing. "Oh. Hey Fred. Good to see you, man. Rock on, man."

Neither teen is paying particular attention to Steve, as they are watching Zach's shocking and violent video with open mouths...
