EXT. THE MARSH — DAY
The pogues lounging on the H.M.S. Idle chatter. John B steering. Another boat passes, putting the H.M.S to shame.
A kook — RAFE — 18, 6"4 with a backward baseball cap on his head, eyeing the Pogues from the other boat scoffing in disgust.
JOHN B (V.O)
And the kookiest kooks take form in the trio of death. When there's one of them, the other two aren't far behind.
That one death glaring like we've killed his pet dog, Rafe Cameron.
The Kook king. College drop out. Hater of all things of that come from The Cut. Total jackass. Pretty sure he doesn't have friends his own age. No surprises.
MATILDA, 16, long silky blonde-hair, adorned in a yellow bikini and sunglasses, leans back against the railing beside Rafe.
MATILDA
What are we doing for Halloween?
JOHN B (V.O)
The Kook queen herself Matilda Shoupe— niece of the bane of our existence, JJ's first l- ouch dude
John's B (V.O) cuts off, muffled arguing sounds through.
JOHN B (V.O) CONT'D
JJ's mortal enemy who has a- a what?
JJ (V.O)
A mouth that could make any sailor turn around, she's like one of those mermaid things that sit on a rock and lure sailors to their deaths I swear-
Muffled fighting continues, background microphone feedback, the camera pans to a shirtless brunette boy, 17, curtain bangs, notable bruising along his jaw.
CHARLIE
Summer just started dumbass, why are you thinking about that?
JOHN B (V.O):
That is Charlie Hudson. Douchebag number two. Matilda's—
JJ (V.O), CUTTING OFF JOHN B
Pussy jackass of
JOHN B CONTINUED, IGNORING JJ (V.O)
Runs The Boneyard fight club. No kidding— he's always starting fights.
Rafe draws his attention to the short blonde, bringing a beer bottle up to his lips.
RAFE
Nothing can top last year
MATILDA
I still think we should have been the Power Puff Girls
The two boys gave her incredulous looks. Not impressed. Still fighting smiles
CHARLIE
You're not conning us to have matching costumes again
RAFE
More like blackmailed
MATILDA
Well, I don't want to be a victim again. I'm a final girl you guys
Charlie laughed at the thought. Moving to drop the anchor. His attention diverted. Rafe shuffled closer to the girl, eyes full of amusement.
RAFE
You liked being my helpless victim
Matilda ignored Rafe. Face filled with annoyance, eye remained on Charlie. Rafe moved behind the girl, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling back into his chest, flush, face pressed into her shoulder.
MATILDA
What do you want?
RAFE
(deepened voice)
To see what your insides look like
Rafe's laughter rang out as Matilda elbowed his abdomen, slowly fading away as the camera panned.
JOHN B (V.O)
If there was anyone to avoid this summer, it would be the three of them. There's a reason they lead the death squad
—— &&. NOTE
