READY, SET, GO! By Grace Raufer SCENE ONE: RAIN Each of the following appear as nearly still shots, like photographs. Rain patters and slides down a large glass window in a basketball gym. A few basketballs lay idle in the corner. Ellie, (14 y/o) sits with her knees to her chest against a wall, reading. In the first non-static shot thus far, Sam, (14 y/o) walks over. When she sees him, Ellie puts her book down. Sam sits next to her, his back sliding against the wall. His legs are extended straight in front of him. Close up, they sit next to each other. Sam has blonde hair to his shoulders, it is wet and rung out, slightly tangled. Ellie has long brown hair, and we can tell it also has been wet. SAM You ready? ELLIE Yeah. SAM You're sure you don't want to change? ELLIE I'm sure. SAM Okay. ELLIE I kinda liked the rain. It was nice. Harder to row in, but exhilarating. SAM Yeah. ELLIE And cooling, really. Here, turn around.
