Chapter 30: Raised E yebrows
written by Huie
added on: 19 Oct 2004 - based on characters created by Winnie Holzman
Cut to-
Tutoring.
Jordan seemed a little happier throughout the session. It is now over, and he has already left- with a little more bounce in his step. Brian is packing up very slowly. He keeps making side glances at the honey-haired girl. She is talking to another girl. He finishes packing, takes one more glance at the girl, deeply sighs, and moves towards the door to leave.
Voice- Wait! Brian... Brain Krakow!
Brian turns around slowly in shock.
Brian- Um... how did, um... you know my ah, my name?
Girl- Um... (Laughs to herself) it's written on your marker package.
Brian- Oh... hmmm...
Brian-VO- Great first impression. How 4th grade of me to write my name on my markers. Typical.
Girl- Well, here they are... you know, your markers.
She holds out Brian's marker package.
Brian- Thanks.
He takes them from her.
Girl- No problem.
Brian-VO- Okay, this isn't Angela. You're finally thinking about *someone* other than Angela. So... don't screw this up.
The girl begins to walk away.
Brian- Wait.
Girl- (turns to face him) Yeah?
Brian- Since you know my name, I think I should know yours. You know, just incase any of my markers are missing... or something.
Girl- (Laughs a little) I'm Samanth- well, I'm Sam.
Brian- Are you new here?
Brian-VO- Krakow is carrying on a conversation? What the hell? Okay... stop referring to yourself in third person.
Sam- Actually... yes. I moved here from TN.
They begin to walk to the door.
Brian- You're not one of those country types... are you?
Sam- I love anything country- music, dancing, food- everything. If *that is* what you're asking.
Brian- (laughs) Cowboy boots and all?
Sam- (Southern Accent) It ain't country without them cowboy boots!
They laugh and walk down the hallway together- both are obviously comfortable and happy.
Cut to- That night at... LOUIE'S!!!!
Jordan and Jess are at their usual table. Jordan's mood has made a 180. He is "Happy- Drunk". He abruptly throws his hands up in the air.
Jordan- We had communication!
He smiles at Jess, and throws his head back.
Jess- That's (Sarcastic) great.
Jordan- (Arms fall down, but his head remains back) Hmm?
Jess- Nothing. (Changing the subject) You still coming next Friday?
Jordan- (Head rolls back- he rubs his eye) Do I *have* to?
Jess- Jordan... the least you can do is show up at a dance with me- I mean... (Fake cries) think of all the stuff that you have put me through?
Jordan- (Under his breath) It's not like I made you...
Jess- (Teary eyed) I *can't* believe you.
Jordan- (sort of rolls his eyes) Look- I'm going, okay. Just- just don't cry or anything.
Jess- Okay. (Recovers) So... any ladies tonight?
Jordan- Jess... you *know* I haven't been with anyone for weeks- (looks away) It's just screwing me up even more.
Jess- (Interested) How come?
Jordan- Because... (Chugs some beer) because... I can't believe I'm going to tell you this.
Jess- Don't worry, you probably won't even remember saying it in the morning.
Jordan- When I'm having sex with them... I like... imagine it's-
Jess- (Monotone) Angela?
Jordan- Yeah.
Jess rolls her eyes.
Jordan- And like... I *really* think I'm with her, but then, I open my eyes, and it's not her. It's like good for the first few minutes, but once I come back to reality, I remember that my life still sucks, and that I still don't have her. Overall (Rubs eye again), sex just makes me even more depressed.
Jess- (Shrugs) Maybe you're just not having sex with the right person?
Jordan- Yeah... *Angela* is the right person.
Jess- No. Like, *maybe* you just need to know the person. Maybe you need to have sex with a friend, rather than a stranger.
Long silence. Jordan looks like he is thinking. Jess looks hopeful.
Jordan- (breaking the long silence) I really don't have any friends that are girls.
Jess raises an eyebrow at him.
