He leaves as Angel walks over to Ms. Childs
Ms. Childs: What's going on Angel?

Later That Day...
Angel goes over to Ethan's place holding a present. He answers
Ethan: Angel what a surprise
Angel: I wanted to thank you for yesterday so I got you this
Ethan: Aw Angel you didn't have to
He takes it from her
Ethan: Come on in. I was just making dinner
She smiles and enters. He closes the door behind her
Ethan: Have a seat at the table
She goes over to the table and sits down. He sits across from her
Ethan: Let's see what we have here
He opens her present. It's a cup
Ethan: A cup that says...
He looks at the writing
Ethan: Write like a motherfucker
He starts laughing
Angel: Just a little boost for when you write your books
Ethan smiles at her
Ethan: This is a very lovely gift Angel thank you
Angel: Your welcome
The timer goes off
Ethan: Ah dinner is ready; will you be staying?
Angel: Whatcha having?
Ethan: Spaghetti
Angel: Spaghetti sounds delicious
Ten minutes later...
They finish eating. Ethan takes both their plates and puts them in the sink
Angel: Where's your bathroom?
Ethan: Down the hall to the right
Angel gets up and goes to the bathroom while Ethan starts washing the dishes
Couple of minutes later...
She dries her hands and leaves the bathroom. She gets ready to walk back to the kitchen when she hears something from one of the rooms. She stops and looks at the door. It's the door Ethan told her was off limits. She hears another noise. She hears Ethan still doing dishes so she goes over to the door, grabs the knob, opens it and goes in while slowly closing the door behind her. She didn't expect her surroundings to be dark and creepy looking. The noise is louder so she goes down the steps and sees the trunk Brian helped Ethan with. Something is moving inside of it and making the trunk move
Angel: What the hell. Books don't do that
She goes up to it. It moves again making her jump. She looks closely at it and she it's locked. She unlocks and opens it
Ms. Childs: I know it's not in until next month but whose excited for prom?
