Daze of Summer
A short film by Everett Champion
1. QUEEN OF THE WAVES
FADE IN:
EXT. BEACHSIDE OF LAKE CATHARINE - rochester valley - EARLY MORNING
the waves lightly crash against the shore of lake catherine, as the sun shines down upon the beach. small boats fill the marina next to the beach, the sounds of the waves mixed with the sounds of seagulls fill the space around the beach as the tropical smell of pineapples and mangos fill the air. the tide slides up the beach as it reaches a teenage girl sleeping on a mama mia towel, waking her up

So how’s things going with that guy you’ve been seeing?
jennifer
Really well actually! He’s great, I think this summer is going to be great for us
LUCY
Ugh, if you only knew. That’s great and all, but you know he’s not as great as you think he is
jennifer
I don’t get why you don’t like him, you’ve barely even talked to him
LUCY
I just don’t like him okay? But look, let’s enjoy the sun and the waves today, no boys, no stress

FADE to:
EXT. bonfire pit - BEACHSIDE OF LAKE CATHARINE - rochester valley - night
the girls sit in wood adirondack chairs around a stone fire pit with a bunch of other teens. everyone is drinking, roasting marshmallows and chatting about life. backpacks full of ALCOHOL lay next to all of the teen’s chairs. the sky is full of stars and a full moon is reflected off the lake water
LUCY
C’mon let’s go! I need this tonight! His house is huge, it’s that red brick one on 1st Avenue
jennifer
Ah I can’t, I already made plans
LUCY
Ugh, let me guess, it’s with him again isn’t it? I swear you guy are together every single night!
jennifer
He’s my boyfriend Lucy, but c’mon it’s the summer. There’s a party every night, it almost seems like it’s endless some times
LUCY
Fine, but you’re coming to the next one, promise?
jennifer
Promise, I’ll be there…
