(Setting: Canesvalley, NY, 2022)

(Our scene opens on the face of a plus sized young women with black hair, dressed in a red and black flannel tank top covered by a black leather jacket and jeans)

(the camera pans out to reveal she is sitting in a small room with tan shaggy carpet and robin egg blue walls, she sits on a couch with her heavy white combat boots resting on a beautiful wood coffee table, the camera pans back to the young girl fiddling with a rubber band around her arm)

(a feminine voice off screen): Jodie? I know this is difficult to talk about. But you need talk to someone.

(the camera turns revealing a middle-aged women dressed in a pantsuit sitting across from the young female in a lounge chair holding a pen and pad)

Jodie: Sorry..I got lost in my thoughts again.

the women: That seems to happen a lot these days huh?

Jodie: Just a lot to think about and process, I guess.

the women: I know, and maybe it's time we start talking about those feelings? You know like what your plans are going forward? Have you started looking into going back to college? Jodie: Not really..college just isn't for me I guess.

the women: Okay well what about jobs? Have you found or thought of any jobs that may interest you?

Jodie: I don't know their was this guidance counselor position at the church's support camp for young girls that looked interesting..but I-I don't know It just seems to..

the women: Too what?

Jodie: I don't know..I just can't see myself doing that right now.

the women:(sighs): Look Jodie, we've known each other for about 4 years now and I know a lot of shitty things have happened for you in that time..but you have to believe that there's more to life then this right? You do believe that don't you?

Jodie: (scoffs): This is such a load of crap.

the women: Why? Because it's true.

Jodie: No because even after these all these years. You still believe that I'm that gullible. I know what I feel. Okay? I know that better than anyone. It's just...how do you expect me to go out there and light up the world when I can't even get my own shit together. the women: Look Jodie..I know it's hard but-

(Jodie gets up from her chair pacing the room as she speaks)
