*****continued from previous chapter*****
The next day Elin and Jessica are in a park.
ELIN: I hate my life!
JESSICA: You're such a fool. Why'd you break up with Johan.
ELIN: I'll never be with anyone.
JESSICA: He's far too good for you.
ELIN: I'm going to be celibate.
She steps off the chair.
JESSICA: Don't stand there. A-drain.
ELIN: Grow up.
JESSICA: Acne, abortion, alcoholism, anorexia...
ELIN: You still at nursery school?
JESSICA: Anal sex, asthma, AIDS...
ELIN: Hello, you're standing on one too.
JESSICA: This is a C-drain.
ELIN: You think that means cupid. You know what it means? It means crap...
JESSICA: Move off it.
ELIN: And condyloma and cancer.
JESSICA: You irritate me. Must you always do the opposite?
ELIN: We'll test it. Do this.
She wiggles on top of the drain, rubbing her feet on it.
ELIN: Abortion… acne… anal sex… No I don’t feel anything. No anal sex…
She storms off.
JESSICA (shouts after her): You’re not normal. You’re not fucking normal!
In her room Elin picks up the telephone.
ELIN: Hi... It's Elin.
JOHAN: Hi.
ELIN: I just wanted to say... I think you are really nice and things, but... It's just that I'm... I'm in love with someone else.
JOHAN: Who is it?
But she doesn’t answer.
Agnes is lying on her bed thinking.
In Elin’s flat Jessica is asleep, but Elin isn’t. She leans over and picks up the school yearbook and looks at Agnes’ picture for a while. Then she leaves the room.
Elin is outside Agnes' house looking up at Agnes' window. She picks up a pebble and throws it at the window.
Agnes has her music on and doesn't hear. Or just doesn't hear.
Maybe she's just thinking or is ignoring it as when the stone crashes through the music stops.
Elin throws another pebble. It’s too big and she throws it too hard and it smashes the window.
ELIN: Shit!
She beats a hasty retreat.
Elin sits at the cafeteria with the other girls. They are talking but she cannot hear them. Agnes sits at a table alone, since Viktoria has stopped hanging out with her. Agnes leaves. Elin follows her.
CAMILLA: Where are you going?
Agnes goes out into the corridor, and you can hear Elin running after her. She grabs Agnes.
AGNES: Stop it! What are you doing!
ELIN: I must talk to you.
Elin bundles Agnes into the cubicle.
ELIN: I must talk to you… It’s really important. Please, please. I'm just going to say one thing. Please!
Agnes leaves Elin’s grasp and retreats into the corner looking defensive.
AGNES: What do you want to say?
ELIN: I was the one who threw the stone. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break it. I wanted... I wanted to talk to you. I didn't mean to... Because you probably think... I think you are a bad person, but it's not like that. It's completely the opposite. Actually I think that you're... you're good.
AGNES: Are you winding me up?
ELIN: No! I'm serious. I have... I have been thinking and things...a lot... about you.
AGNES (shocked): Have you? (Menacingly) If you trick me again I'll kill you!
ELIN: I'm not. I'm not tricking you. And, yes... Is it true that you..? Viktoria said that you were... in love with me. Because... if you are, then I am too. In you, that is.
CAMILLA (from outside: knocking): Hello?
ELIN: Are you?
Agnes nods.
CAMILLA: Hurry up!
ELIN: I'll just...
Elin slides out the door keeping it closed so as not to expose Agnes.
ELIN: It's broken.
CAMILLA: What?
ELIN: There's something wrong with the flushing. Use another.
CAMILLA: Are you on you're period?
We see Agnes in the toilet waiting.
ELIN (we hear from inside): Is that the only joke you know?
Agnes sits down and waits for her, not believing what was just said.
We see Elin struggling to keep Camilla out.
ELIN: Use another one, I said.
CAMILLA: Okay, I've got it.
ELIN: Got what?
CAMILLA: Jessica!
JESSICA (in distance): Yeah.
ELIN: What're you doing?
CAMILLA (smiling): Come!
JESSICA: What?
CAMILLA: Elin's with a guy in the toilet!
ELIN: What the hell are you talking about?
CAMILLA: But that's why, isn't it?
ELIN: Not at all!
CAMILLA: Come on, Jessica. Elin!
Elin slides back in again.
ELIN: Idiots! What the hell are we going to do?
CAMILLA (struggling with the door): Elin. Let us in so we can see who it is! Open up! We want to know!
JESSICA: Elin, come out.
GIRLS: What's going on?
CAMILLA: Elin's with a guy in the toilet.
GIRLS: Who is it?
CAMILLA: No one knows. I think it's Johan.
JESSICA: No, that's over.
CAMILLA: Over? Hurry up, we can't wait.
ONE OF THE GUYS FROM THE PHOTO SCENE: What's going on?
CAMILLA: It's Elin with a guy.
GUY (shouts): Hey!
JESSICA: Come on, stop it.
ELIN (to Agnes): Maybe if we said that we were just going to... No, I don't know...
People congregate around the toilet, chattering excitedly.
CAMILLA (from outside): Is it Tomas?
ELIN: Tomas?! Is that the best you can do?
AGNES: We can't sit here all day, this is totally weird.
ELIN: What should we do?
AGNES: We walk out, of course.
Elin sighs.
The guys outside begin chanting and banging on the door.
JESSICA (pleading): Elin…
