Episode 15

The next morning (Thursday), Madison is getting ready for school when she sees Pauline in the kitchen.

Pauline: Have you got everything ready for school?

Madison: Yes, I do.

Pauline: That's good, sweetie.

Madison: Mum?
Pauline: Yes?

Madison: Would I be able to stay with Imogen this weekend?

*Pauline looks angry*

Pauline: If you want.

Madison: Please?

Pauline: Okay, but get her to pick you up!

Madison: Thanks Mum.

Pauline: I better tell your father about it before he leaves for work. When do you plan on leaving?

Madison: Saturday morning. I'll be home Sunday night.

Pauline: What time on Sunday night?

Madison: Around 5 o'clock.

Pauline: Sounds reasonable. You better hurry along, sweetie. I don't want you to be late.

Madison: See you when I get home.

Pauline: You coming straight home after school?

Madison: Yes.

Pauline: Okay, sweetie.

*Madison leaves the house for school*

Later that morning, Imogen is out applying for jobs. She isn't having any luck as they are either not hiring or the jobs have already been given to someone else. She is about to give up when a chance encounter with her old high school friend, Bridget Cameron approaches her at the bus stop.

Bridget: Well, well. If it isn't Imogen Miller? *smiles*

*Imogen looks at Bridget*

Imogen: Bridget Cameron? Oh, how have you been?

*Imogen hugs Bridget*

Bridget: I've been great. I haven't seen you since high school. You look really fantastic.

Imogen: Thanks. Finding a job is so hard these days.

Bridget: Spent the morning job hunting?

Imogen: Unsuccessfully! I need a job to pay the rent on my flat.

Bridget: Well, my work is looking for someone to hire.

Imogen: Where do you work?

Bridget: I work at Pizza Patrol in Blair Athol.

Imogen: What would I be doing?

Bridget: You'd be making pizzas obviously. *laughs*

Imogen: I don't know how I'll get there. I don't have a car.

Bridget: Have you got a licence?

Imogen: No, I lost my licence because I was speeding. This was about two years ago.

Bridget: I could take you to and from work.

Imogen: You would do that?

Bridget: Yes.

*Imogen lets out a smile*

(That afternoon, Imogen returns to her flat with a huge smile on her face. Christina happens to come out of her flat as Imogen is about to enter her own.)

Christina: You look cheerful today, Imogen.

Imogen: Good news! I've got a job!

Christina: You do?

Imogen: Yes, I'll be working at Pizza Patrol in Blair Athol from Monday.

Christina: Imogen, that's fantastic! I'm so proud of you! *gives Imogen a hug*

Imogen: Thanks.

Christina: How many days are you working?

Imogen: I'll be working Sunday to Thursday.

Christina: Cool! That means we can rage on Friday and Saturday night!

Imogen: I can still come to the Le Rox Nightclub with you tomorrow night.

Christina: Awesome! I can't wait for it.

Imogen: I'll see you later, Christina.

Christina: Yeah. I'll pop by later this evening to have a chat with you.

Imogen: Sweet.

*Imogen enters her flat to find the phone ringing*

Imogen: Hello?

Madison: *over the phone* Hey sis. It's me.

Imogen: Madison! How are you?

Madison: I'm great. Are you going to be home this weekend?

Imogen: Of course. Why do you ask?

Madison: I want to stay over this weekend. Mum and Dad already said yes.

Imogen: I'm surprised they did.

Madison: I can't wait to see you.

Imogen: Me too, sis.

*Imogen gets teary-eyed*

Imogen: I love you, Madison.

Madision: I love you too. So, I guess I'll see you on Saturday then.

Imogen: You will.

Madison: Sweet. Okay, I have to go eat dinner now. Love you lots, Imogen.

Imogen: Love you lots too.

Madison: Bye.

Imogen: Bye-bye.

*Once Imogen hangs up the phone, she looks at a photo of her and Madison and sighs*

Episode 16

On Friday night, Imogen and her friends are waiting outside the Le Rox Nightclub.
Imogen: Look at the line to get in. It’s huge.
Christina: I go here every Friday night. This place has got heaps of talent.
Whitney: It better be our money’s worth.
Jen: I’m not too sure about this.
Christina: You’ll be fine, Jen. Trust me.
Imogen: Christina will keep us all safe.
Krista: I hope we have a good time.
Sonya: Same here.
*Imogen and her friends approach the bouncer*
Bouncer: Tickets please.
Christina: Hey Jimmy. How’s it going?
Bouncer: Oh, hey Christina. These your friends?
Christina: Yes.
Bouncer: Straight through this door, ladies. *opens the entrance*
*Imogen and her friends walk in*
Imogen: How’d you do that?
Christina: I know the bouncers pretty well here. I even…
Sonya: Let me guess? You bonked one of them?
Christina: Yeah, pretty much.
*Imogen laughs*
Krista: This music is so loud!
Whitney: Techno?
Christina: That’s right.
Whitney: Sounds chat.
Jen: I agree.
Imogen: Come on, girls. Let’s just enjoy the night.
Krista: Okay.
Christina: Let’s dance!
*As Imogen, Christina and Sonya start dancing, Krista, Whitney and Jen just stand there*
Jen: I’m getting a drink.
Whitney: Me too.
Krista: They better play some good music later on.
(At around 8:30pm, Imogen and Christina decide to take a break from dancing and go outside to the smoking area.)
Christina: I need a hit.
*Christina snorts some cocaine*
Imogen: Give me some.
Christina: You sure?
*Imogen takes some cocaine*
Imogen: That’s good.
Christina: I didn’t want your friends seeing us take coke.
Imogen: They would freak out, especially Jen.
Christina: I’m sorry if I sound bitchy, but Jen’s a coward.
Imogen: What do you mean?
Christina: She’s always timid about everything.
Imogen: She can’t help having anxiety.
Christina: Still, she shouldn’t let it suffocate her.
Imogen: Give me another.
*Christina hands Imogen the cocaine packet*
(At 10:30pm, Imogen and Christina are so high that they don’t even know where they are. As for Krista, Whitney, Jen and Sonya, they are less than impressed.)
Sonya: I cannot believe Imogen!
Jen: Blame Christina, not her!
Krista: Imogen is off her f***ing face!
Whitney: I wouldn’t be surprised if her and Christina took something to make them so high.
Krista: Drugs, obviously.
Sonya: Imogen has just sunk to a new low!
Jen: I don’t think Imogen would ever touch drugs unless encouraged.
Whitney: Jen, have you forgotten what she took at Noleen Marshall’s 18th birthday?
Jen: What?
Whitney: She took LSD.
Jen: Oh.
Sonya: That was like two years ago.
Whitney: Still, Imogen is being influenced by that slag to take drugs. I won’t stand for it!
Krista: Me neither!
Jen/Sonya: Same here!
*Imogen and Christina go over to them*
Christina: Come dance with us.
Jen: We’re leaving, guys.
Imogen: Already?
Krista: Yes!
Sonya: Let’s just hope the next time we go out, you and her aren’t so high.
Whitney: That’s right. Come on, girls.
*Krista, Whitney, Jen and Sonya leave the nightclub*
Christina: And what’s their problem?!
Imogen: Who knows? Let’s just dance!
*Imogen and Christina resume dancing*
(Imogen and Christina arrive back at their apartment block at 2 o’clock in the morning, high and laughing like lunatics.)
Imogen: We HAVE to do that again!
Christina: I had such a good time. Pity your friends are such party poopers!
Imogen: I know right.
Christina: Bye, honey. I love you.
Imogen: Love you too, precious!
*Christina and Imogen crack up laughing before they return to their respective flats*

That Saturday morning, Imogen wakes up at 10:15am to loud knocking on her front door.
Imogen: *groggily* Who is it?
Madison: It’s your little sister.
*Imogen quickly gets changed out of her clubbing clothes and slips on her blue nightie before opening the door*
Imogen: Hey Madison.
Madison: Did you forget I was coming today?
Imogen: Of course not. *gives Madison a hug*
Madison: You look tired.
Imogen: Last night was epic. Anyway, how long have you been outside for?
Madison: 5 minutes. Mum dropped me off on her way to the supermarket.
Imogen: I see.
Madison: Go take a hot shower, while I unpack. You need it.
Imogen: You sure?
Madison: Of course.
*Imogen goes to take a shower*
(At David and Pauline’s, the phone is ringing just as Pauline arrives back from the supermarket.)
Pauline: I’m coming, I’m coming. *picks up the phone* Hello?
Roxy: Hi Mum. It’s me.
Pauline: Oh, hello Roxanne. How are you, sweetheart?
Roxy: Yeah, I’m okay. Just trying to comfort Luke over his younger brother.
Pauline: No trouble?
Roxy: No, no. He’s just worried about him. How are things in your side of the fence?
Pauline: Maddie’s staying with Imogen this weekend. *sighs*
Roxy: You make it sound like it’s a bad thing.
Pauline: Roxanne, whatever relationship I had with Imogen has gone down the tube.
Roxy: What’s happened now?
Pauline: We had an argument and I said that I sometimes wonder why me and your father adopted her. It was in the heat of the moment and I just…*starts to cry*
Roxy: Don’t cry, Mum. I know you didn’t mean it.
Pauline: I just feel so guilty.
Roxy: Do you want me to come and visit you?
Pauline: No, I’ll be fine sweetheart.
Roxy: You sure?
Pauline: Yes. Anyway, I’ll get your father to ring you later. He’s at the TAB.
Roxy: Okay. Love you, Mum.
Pauline: I love you too, sweetheart. Bye now. *hangs up the phone before sighing*
*Pauline looks at a photo of her, David, Roxy, Imogen and Madison all together*
Pauline: I just want my family back how it used to be. *starts to cry*

Episode 17

Later that morning, Imogen and Madison go shopping at Westfield Marion.
Madison: This is so nice. I get to spend the weekend with my lovely sister and go shopping with her.
Imogen: I wanted us to have this time together.
Madison: Where shall we look first?
Imogen: Jeanswest.
*Imogen and Madison enter Jeanswest*
Madison: Let's shop til' we drop, sis.
Imogen: Yes!
(Meanwhile, Christina is smoking at a bus stop in Sturt Street. Krista, Whitney, Jen and Sonya happen to see her.)
Whitney: Pull over, Krista.
Krista: Right.
*Krista parks the car before her, Whitney, Jen and Sonya get out of the car*
Sonya: Christina!
*Christina looks at them*
Christina: Stalking me, are you? *pulls a sarcastic face*
Whitney: What did you give Imogen last night at the nightclub?
Christina: She had a few drinks.
Jen: Now THAT is a lie! You and her were both high as kites!
Christina: So, I gave her some coke. What's the big deal?
Krista: THE BIG DEAL IS THAT IMOGEN NEVER TOUCHED THE STUFF UNTIL SHE MET YOU!
Sonya: You're a bad influence on our friend!
Christina: I didn't make her snort it. She did that on her own.
Whitney: You little bitch! You were responsible for giving the cocaine to Imogen!
Christina: Imogen doesn't need friends like you anyway. I'm cool and you lot are uncool. *smirks*
*Jen throws water in Christina's face!*
Jen: Let's go, girls.
*Krista, Whitney, Jen and Sonya leave as Christina dries her face*

When Imogen and Madison return to the flat later, they see Christina outside having yet another smoke.
Christina: Hey girls. How was shopping?
Madison: We had such a great day. First, we bought some trendy clothes and then we had lunch before watching a movie.
Christina: Nice. Can we talk for a minute, Imogen?
Imogen: Sure. *to Madison* Why don't you put your bags in the guest room and try on that new sweater.
Madison: Good idea. *heads inside*
Imogen: What's up?
Christina: Your friends are upset with me over last night. One even threw water in my face while I was at the bus stop this morning.
Imogen: What?! Oh, that's mean!
Christina: I just thought I'd let you know.
Imogen: Thanks, Christina.
Christina: I'll talk to you later. You spend time with that little sister of yours. She's adorable.
*Imogen returns inside*
Madison: Sis?
Imogen: Yes, Maddie?
Madison: I just want to say that I'm having a great weekend with you.
Imogen: So am I, little sister.
*they hug*

NEXT TIME
- Imogen talks to her friends about the incident with Christina, while she continues to bond with Madison
