EXT: Football field.
Paramedics are on the field and surrounding someone lying on the ground. Cheerleaders are off the field sitting down looking on as the crowd behind them falls in a hush of silence.....
One cheerleader in particular is pacing...Her name is Celina and another cheerleader walks to her...Her name is Beth.
Beth-
Celina.
Celina-
What’s going on?
Beth-
It’s bad.
Celina-
What he’s going to be out for the rest of the game?
Beth-
Worst.
Celina-
Is he coming to?
Beth-
Even worst.
Celina-
What?
Beth-
He’s not breathing.
Celina-
Check back there...He might be breathing now!
Beth runs back over there and Celina staggers around sitting next to an chain fence.
She sits there staring out in space trying to make sense on what’s going on. She’s trying to figure out if this is true or not.
1
Celina-
This can be....This can be happening.
Voice-
(Softly)
He’s dead Celina.
Celina-
Who’s that?
Voice-
You didn’t know.
Celina looks around
Celina-
Who said that?
Voice-
He’s dead.
Celina-
No!
Celina stands up and screams very loud everyone turns to see what she is doing.
Beth walks back over to her.
Beth-
He’s dead.
Celina-
Oh my good.
Celina faints
INT: Celina’s bedroom
Celina wakes up thinking this was just a dream and walks to the mirror. She looks into it and closes her eyes. She remembers kissing her boyfriend and then watching the same person getting hit by a linebacker who wears the number sixty. She looks in the mirror and sees a black figure then transforms into a woman...Celina has blonde hair, this woman has black hair...Celina is wearing a cheerleader outfit that’s red and white and the woman’s cheerleader outfit is black.
1
The woman-
Hello.
Celina-
Who are you?
The woman-
I’m you.
Celina-
Am I dreaming?
The woman-
You know that’s the first thing that came through your mind as you woke up.
Celina-
Why are you...
The woman walks up to Celina
The woman-
I’m here because you have finally pissed me off.
Celina-
What did I do?
The woman-
What didn’t you do? A lot.
Celina-
What business is it of yours?
The woman-
I remember the time where you had this insane thought to bash our step-father’s head with a dish he said was dirty. I remember when you were lying on your back trying to get the nerve to finally have sex. The way he would touch you near your.....
(Snickers)
All you had to do was allow it. You loved him and it meant everything in the world to you that he saw you in the same way.
Celina-
How do you know all of this?
1
The woman-
I know you because I am you. I’m your shadow.
Celina-
What do you want?
The woman-
A ride in your body.
The woman walks into Celina and she drops down on the floor. She grips her own body and let’s out a scream. Glenda who is her mother runs in....
Glenda-
Are you okay Celina?!
Glenda walks to where “Celina” fell down at. We look in the mirror and see that Celina is in the reflection of the mirror and the woman is where Celina fell down at..
Celina-
I’m fine mom. Celina Willa...Willa I like that “middle” name. I’m fine.
Celina smiles.
Celina-
I’ll meet you downstairs.
Glenda walks out of the room. The woman walks to the mirror...
Willa-
I like the name Willa.
Celina-
What are you going to do?
Willa-
Find the killer.
INT: Hotel room- 5 months later
Willa walks into a hotel room dressed in a mini-dress and knee-high boots. The man who is next to her is named Matthew who’s wearing the jersey number sixty and is wearing blue pants.
1
Willa-
I’m glad you pick the nearest hotel.
Matthew-
I’m glad you came.
Willa-
Baby, I wouldn’t miss this for the world.
Matthew-
Oh really.
Willa-
I thought you might need a little release after all those “tough” games you had in Baseball and football.
We see that Willa has on her gloves and different eye contacts on.
Matthew-
What do you want to?
Willa-
Don’t ask questions.
(Pauses)
Are you up for that?
Willa and Matthew starts to kiss and they get really into it...Willa pushes Matthew onto the bed and climbs up on him. As they kiss some more, Willa pulls out a set of handcuffs and quickly cuffs Matthew onto bed...Matthew screams as Willa bites Matthew’s tongue. She let’s go and then punches Matthew right in his chest.
Matthew-
You bitch!
Willa-
No.
(Slaps him in the face)
I’m a bitch who justice for the one who you killed.
Matthew realizes who she’s talking about as Willa tapes her mouth.
Willa-
Payback!
1
Willa walks into the bathroom and pulls out a sledgehammer. She climbs onto the bed.
Willa-
I will strike down upon you for murder!
Willa stops in the midst of slamming that sledgehammer down on Matthew and she drops it. She is on the floor and screams in pain. Willa then changes into Celina and she slowly gets up then looks around trying to make sense of it.
Celina-
Where am I?
Matthew-
Are you crazy?
Celina-
(Dirty look as she remember why she’s there)
Oh.
Celina walks to the bed and picks up the sledgehammer. She puts it towards Matthew throat and applies pressure..
Celina-
You don’t say a word or she won’t be there to help you next time.
Celina stumbles out of the hotel room.
EXT: Car
Celina walks into her car and sits down.
Celina-
I look so...
Willa appears next to her.
Willa-
Yummy.
Celina-
You could have kill him.
Willa-
1
You actually had enough balls to stop me.
Celina-
The last thing I remember was being back in my room
Willa-
Five months ago.
(Pauses)
You missed a lot
(Pauses)
High school graduation, senior prom and a bunch of fights.
Celina-
What?
Willa-
We learn lots of money beating people up.
Celina-
I can’t believe you.
Willa-
It’s like keeping a dog indoors forever after a while he’s going to pee all over you.
Now you better start listening to me or next time, it will be worse.
Celina starts driving and the car pulls away.
Int: Football Field- Few years later
A car pulls in and stops to park the car. Celina is banging her head on the steering wheel. She gets out of the car and sits on the floor.
She looks through some pictures of Josh and her. She starts tearing them up one by one.
She’s wearing a red lowcut top with leather pants and boots. Her hair is hanging over her face and her name is Celina. We recognized that the football field she’s about to walk in is the same one that her boyfriend died on. We knows this from the flashback that she has.
Celina
Why did I wait?
(As Willa)
(mocking)
It had to be a special night.
(Pauses)
(Say out loud)
1
Shut up Willa!
Celina is walking on the football field
Montage:
When she looks around she sees:
A) Football seats
B) Announcer’s booth
C)Celina stands in the middle of the fifty yard lane
Celina stands there as a pained expression falls over her face
Celina
(CONTD.)
I can’t be here. Whenever someone breaks my heart, I end up here! I’ve got to move on.
Celina hangs her head down and turns around to see her shadow, her other personality, Willa. She‘s wearing the same thing as Celina but has brown hair and her clothes are different colors. Her hair is tied in a ponytail.
Willa
Are you ready then?
Celina
Why are you asking me if I‘m ready?
Willa
This Song and Dance, I’ve heard before. Are you ready for life? Celina, if I were you and I am, don’t bullshit me.
Celina
What do you mean by life?
Willa
(Annoyed)
The very thing that you have denied us.
Celina
I’ll start!
Willa
You have to mean it.
1
Celina
I do.
Willa
I’m still not buying it.
Celina
I can’t hurt anymore!
Willa
(Pauses, convinced and sympathizes)
When Dylan died on this football field, I blamed you. I was tearing you up over and over again because I was so upset at you for not having the night we should have had.
(Pauses)
You cost me that night!
Celina
You were mad at me.
(Willa shakes her head and then remembers)
You mean the attitude change, the smoking and the fights.
Willa
It was you who did all those things and that includes tonight’s activities of breaking up with Josh.
Celina
You did.
Willa
Same thing.
Celina
Go on.
Willa
I was impressed and rewarded you with memories.
Celina
(Pauses to remember)
We use to be in a fight circuit and fought for money.
Willa
Through senior year.
1
Celina
There was a hot guy.
Willa
You ruined that.
Celina
I didn’t like him!
Willa
It doesn’t matter.
Celina
(Gets up)
If we are going to coexist, let’s get something straight. I will have to give up things but as for the first time we have sex, it’s a mutual decision.
Willa
Your not the....
You are.
Agreed.
Celina
I’m glad we broke it off with Josh but that girl...
Willa
Are you mad Celina?
Celina
(Feels angry)
I mean, she did me a favor, but still!
I wanted to hurt her!
Willa
Do you know what we are capable of in that department?
Celina
What?
Willa
(Snaps her fingers)
This.
(Celina tips her head back and as a reaction on her face of pure fear)
1
Celina
(Shocked)
We could do that!
Willa
Yes.
(Pauses)
We could even kill and make it look like selfdefense!
Celina
No! I don’t want kill, I want to hurt her. Promise me you won’t get us in trouble!
Willa
(Laughs)
To the plain eye, they saw you in the fight circuit, they saw you smoking and getting into fights. They never saw me, they saw you.
Celina looks around and is looking at her clothes thinking "I would never buy this".
Willa-
(Pauses)
We keep the clothes.
Celina
We keep the clothes and give up smoking.
Willa
What!
Celina
Come on!
Willa
(Doesn’t really want to)
Agree.
Celina
As for love.
Willa
You pick him and it better me good.
1
Celina
Or what?
Willa
(walks to Celina and shows her fist)
(threatening)
They will see you with your fist through our stepfather’s heart.
Celina
Just work with me.
Willa
Agreed.
Celina
(Shake hands with Willa)
All right.
As Celina and Willa stare each other down
Willa disappears and Celina looks around then starts to walk off. Celina goes to her car and climbs in
Celina
(CONTD.)
(sarcastic)
Yes, you can have split personalities and live a "normal" life.
Celina shakes her head and then backs up to drives away. We see someone lurking around. She steps out. See smiles. Her name is Victoria.
Victoria
Just keep telling yourself that.
Int: Living room
Perry’s house
Patrick is sitting down reading a newspaper on a recliner couch he’s a heavy set person with faded overalls and black shoes. Fortyfour years old and has a beard. Stepfather to Celina/Willa and husband to Glenda. Glenda walks in with a red house dress and barefeet. Attractive woman at the age of fortyfour, she walks over to her husband to kiss him on his head
1
Patrick
Good breakfast.
Glenda
Thank you.
Patrick
Sorry I came home late last night.
Glenda
I figured you were out.
(pauses)
Was that a call from one of your people?
Patrick
(Changes subject)
Where’s your "Spawn"? Did you ask why she was so late coming home?
Glenda is annoyed when he says anything like that.
Glenda
Just leave her alone.
Patrick
This wouldn’t happened if she was dating real men from church.
Glenda
Get off her back!
Patrick
Another thing. Why do you let her wear those whore clothes? It’s a bad example.
Glenda
For whom?
Patrick
(Dodges question)
It’s not right for our daughter to dress like a highclass hooker. If she wants to model, do it in "The right" clothes.
Glenda
(Hits the newspaper out of his hands)
Shut up! She’s mine!
1
Patrick
(Threatening)
I’m sorry.
(Pauses)
What did you say?
Glenda
She’s mine! (Patrick moves closer) Do you want to hit me? You don’t speak about my baby that way. (Deep voice) She knows how to defend herself and how boys act. She learned all that from her mother and not her good for nothing father. (Proud)
My father is a twotime boxing champion and he taught me how to hurt people, I taught my baby everything I know. She’s twenty years old and mature enough to do what she likes, understand!
Willa coming out of the kitchen and smiling at her Mom. She hugs her Mom and whispers in her ear.
Willa
Watch this.
(Whispers)
As Willa walks towards Patrick, Glenda grin and walks over to Patrick
Willa-
(Sarcastic)
Sorry about not coming in on time and disappointing you because I’m not a church going person.
Glenda tries not to laugh
Willa-
(Sarcastic)
I swear I’ll do a Hail Mary and plead with God to forgive me.
(Looks to Glenda)
Good morning Mom.
(Kisses mom)
(Picks up her bag from near the door)
Patrick
Your not funny.
Willa
(Turns around to him)
I thought I was.
1
Patrick
You are so....
Willa
(Drops her bag and Glenda steps inbetween)
What?!
Patrick
Why do I waste my time?
Willa
You married my mom because you love her and you like to believe I need saving!
Patrick
You do!
Willa
(Stern)
I don’t!
(Patrick back off and sits back down)
Patrick
(sits down)
(Knows it gets to her)
Have you thought about what I proposed?
Willa
(Sits on the couch and looks him dead in the eye)
Don’t push me.
(Answers Patrick)
My answer is still no.
Patrick
It would be a good...
Willa
Convent. No. I’m going to be me and this pain of finding out my ex was freaking some twobit, bottomfeeding, can’t get a man for herself, bitch, will go away.
Glenda
(Gets inbetween Willa again)
What are you going to do about Josh?
1
Willa
I wish I could tell you exactly what I intend on doing but you’ll try to talk me out of it....
Patrick
Why waste your time when there are perfect men in church like Donnie?
He’s the pride and joy to church and he could change anyone, even you stepchild!
Glenda
Patrick!
Willa
(Laughs it off)
I got this Mom.
(Glenda walks out of the scene)
I don’t need to change myself for nobody.
(Pauses)
Now getting back to Donnie.
Was he a church going boy when he had a fight with my black friend? Then had the nerve to call him that really bad racial slur. As for a church boy, please. He would like the women to scream God’s name when he actually does get some.
Excuse me. I have to go to the bathroom.
Willa walks to the bathroom and then the Doorbell ring. Glenda walks over to the door and let’s Bryan in.
Bryan
Is Celina ready to go?
(Patrick looks over to Bryan and leaves)
What’s wrong with him?
Glenda
It’s nothing.
Bryan
(Doesn’t believe her)
Right?
Glenda
It doesn‘t matter anyway.
Bryan
How true.
1
Willa comes back in
Willa
Hey!
Bryan
You’re ready.
Glenda
I’ll see you two later.
Glenda hugs Willa as she exits.
Bryan
Are you okay?
Willa
(Changes the subject)
Where do you want to go first?
Bryan
Gym.
Willa
Good.
Bryan
The workout will be two hours today.
Willa
Good
Bryan
You’re going on the punching bag.
Willa
What’s with the twenty question?
(Pauses and realizes she was being a bitch)
I want to break something.
Bryan
That would cost money.
1
Willa
I know.
Bryan
How are you really doing?
Willa
I want to find out why I got screwed over for this girl.
Bryan
She sounded like she was a woman.
Willa
If she’s going to mess with another woman’s man, she’s a girl.
Bryan
Don’t cause a scene.
