Brian watches as Angela whom he loves gets into Jordan Catalano’s car. Angela follows Jordan into his car, rarely looking back.

ANGELA VO: I’m just torn. Brian Krakow is in love with me and Jordan Catalano, who I love, wants me. I have to go with Jordan; right now I have to play this out.

The two in the car stop near the loft. Jordan puts his arm around her they both sit in silence.

JORDAN: So you liked the letter?

ANGELA VO: Yeah except you didn’t write it.

ANGELA: I guess.

JORDAN: I had some help on it....

ANGELA: I know.

JORDAN: Well, actually that tutor guy Brain kinda...

ANGELA: Wrote it for you. I know Jordan

JORDAN: Wrote it for me... wait, you know? How? Did Brain tell you?

ANGELA: No Brian didn’t tell me, Rickie did.

They turn and look at one another Jordan holds her hands in his.

JORDAN: I just asked him to help me because I’m not good with words. Everything he wrote I felt. I swear.

ANGELA VO: WOW! What am I supposed to say to that? (Aloud) You both did.

JORDAN: (confused) Huh?

ANGELA: Nothing, you could have written the letter. You could have just said you were sorry without so many words.

JORDAN: So are you mad?

ANGELA VO: Was I mad? I should have been, but he did tell me, himself. (Aloud) No. But can you take me home?

JORDAN: Okay.

He starts the car and drives her home. And in front of her house he kisses her passionately. In front of a hiding Brian Krakow.

JORDAN: Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow for school?

ANGELA: (lovestruck) Yeah.

He kisses her again through the open car window.

JORDAN: See you tomorrow.

The Next Day: Int. Hallway.

Rayanne, Rickie, and Sharon stand in the hall; Brian is a few lockers down and all of them are looking at Angela and Jordan who have just walked in hand, in hand.

RAYANNE: So she forgave him and not me. That sucks!

SHARON: She’ll forgive you. Just talk to her.

RICKIE: It’s the only way, your gonna have to apologize to her.

RAYANNE: Speaking of stuff people have to do... Sharon you have to stop using Kyle.

RICKIE: That’s true.

RAYANNE: Enrique, Isn’t there a certain young lady who wants your affections. Have you told her that you don’t exactly swing that way.

RICKIE: Delia. Well I’m going to tell her, I just don’t know how.

SHARON: I have a way to work out all of our problems: Truth or Dare.

RAYANNE: What? How will that help?

SHARON: It’s a great way to get everything out in the open. We have the three of us; Kyle, Delia, and Angela and Jordan come over to my house, under false pretenses of course.

BRIAN: Me too. I mean can I come I have stuff to get out in the open.

RICKIE: Sure.

Angela, Jordan and Kyle sit on the couch as Sharon answers the door. Rickie and Delia are on the other side. They come in Rickie rushes to Angela.

RICKIE: Hey sweetie.

They hug.

ANGELA: Hi.

The doorbell rings again, this time Jordan jumped up to answer it.

JORDAN: (as he opens door) How many more people are we....

Rayanne and Brian stand at the door.

RAYANNE: Hello all (she looks strait at Angela)

ANGELA and JORDAN: What are they doing here?

SHARON: I invited them. We can start now.

KYLE: Start what?

RAYANNE: Just a little game.

JORDAN: What little game? (He steps back from Rayanne and Brian; he then puts his arm around Angela)

RICKIE: We are gonna play truth or dare everyone please sit down.

They all sit several faces are uneasy.

RICKIE: I’ll start... Angela, truth or dare?

ANGELA VO: Kill me now! It’s ether gonna have something to do with Rayanne or Brian. (Aloud) Truth.

RICKIE: Okay, Name the people in this room that you love, the ways you love them and name those that love you, and the ways.

ANGELA: (whispers to Jordan) Do you love me?

JORDAN: (says as he kisses her) Yes, I love you.

ANGELA: (smiling) Okay I love Jordan, in a boyfriend way. Rickie and Sharon in a friend way, and I guess Brian and Rayanne in that way, too.

RAYANNE: Really?

ANGELA: Yeah I guess (they smile and hug) Jordan loves me in a boyfriend way. And Sharon, Rayanne Rickie, and Brian love me in a friend way.

She falls back into Jordan’s arms; they sit in an embrace.

RICKIE: Good, there was only one non-truth in there.

ANGELA: What?

RICKIE: Brian, he doesn’t love you like a friend, he is in love with you, the way you’re in love with Jordan.

Everyone in the room looks uncomfortable. They all are staring at Brian. They all look confused, but Jordan looks pissed off.

JORDAN: (to Angela and Rickie) What?

ANGELA: What are you talking about Rickie?

RICKIE: And you knew it, Angela. He told you the night you left with Jordan.

Jordan squirms he takes his arms away from Angela.

JORDAN: What?

ANGELA VO: Why can’t things just stay good? (Aloud) It’s true.

JORDAN: (near tears) What? Brain? Do you want him? Do you love him?

BRIAN: My name is Brian! I have been in love with her for, like ever.

JODAN: Do you love him?!

ANGELA: No. I love you, Jordan. Brian I wish you had just kept your damn mouth shut! I don’t love you; sometimes I don’t even like you!

Jordan hugs her as she lightly cries he kisses the top of her head. Brian looks at her shocked.

SHARON: Angela it’s your turn.

ANGELA: (wipes her tears) Okay, Rayanne truth or dare?

RAYANNE: Truth.

ANGELA: Okay, this is important to our friendship, so when was the last time you had a drink?

RAYANNE: Not since that night. I swear.

ANGELA: That’s great.

RAYANNE: Okay, it’s my turn. Sharon?

SHARON: Truth.

RAYANNE: Do you love Kyle?

KYLE: What the hell kind of question is that Graff?

RAYANNE: The kind she has to answer stupid!

SHARON: NO! I don’t love you Kyle and that’s why we have to break up.

KYLE: WHAT? WHY?

SHARON: Cause I don’t want to use you anymore!

KYLE: This is all your fault Graff!

He grabs her and goes to punch her but Jordan intercepts and hits him.

JORDAN: I think you better go.

KYLE: Fine (he walks out)

Jordan turns and put his hands on her shoulders and looks into her eyes.

JORDAN: Are you okay?

RAYANNE: Yes, thank you (She hugs him)

Angela sits there watching this, with her arms folded and an angry look on her face. Jordan sits Rayanne between Angela and himself, not noticing the look on his girlfriend’s face.

SHARON: (near tears) Rickie truth or dare?

RICKIE VO: I’m gonna have to tell her sometime. (Aloud) Truth.

SHARON: Who do you have a crush on?

RAYANNE: What? Leave him alone Cherski!

Delia just smiles dumbly.

RICKIE: It’s okay I’ll answer.... I have had a crush on Jordan for a while.

JORDAN: WHAT?!

ANGELA: HUH?

DELIA: What? What about me? You’re gay?

RAYANNE: Really now! Duh! I didn’t know about his thing for Jordan but anyone with half a brain could tell he was gay!

RICKIE: (crying) Shut up! Did you ever think that I might not want to let everyone know! I’m sorry Angela, and Jordan.

ANGELA: It’s okay.

JORDAN: (still uneasy) Yeah.

DELIA: I still don’t understand.

RICKIE: I’m gay, so I’m not attracted to you, but we can be friends.

Delia hugs him.
