Part 17 Scene 1 English class. Angela is drawing something on a piece of paper while Ms.Chataval is droning on in front of the class. Ms. Chataval: Class, come on now! Didn't anyone read the chapter? silence. Brian hesitates...then slowly raises his hand halfway. A paper airplane hits him in the head from the back of the room and he lowers his hand again. A few people laugh. Angela smiles a little and rolls are eyes, and goes back to her sketch. Ms. Chataval: Alright...everyone open your books to page 45 and start reading (sighs) Angela VO: I can't stand biology anymore. I have Brian Krakow on one side of the room, who won't even look at me...which I...I can't even begin to understand why it bothers me. I have Jordan Catalano on the other side of the room who like, passes me notes about his band. Not that I'm sick of hearing about it. At all. He just always signs the notes with "sincerely, jordan". Sincerely is usually spelled wrong. But I guess Brian hasn't like covered that in tutoring or something. Ms. Chataval: Angela! Angela Chase! Angela looks up Angela: Huh? Ms. Chataval: It's good to see your still here on planet Earth, Ms. Chase. Who are you working on the project with? Angela: Umm...(eyes widening with an "what the hell is she talking about??" look) The...that project we...were discussing...in class? Ms. Chataval: (sighing) Angela, pay attention from now on. You'll be teamed up with...(scanning the room) Brian Krakow. (a few people either snicker or whistle) Angela: (to herself) Oh god. Ms. Chataval: Now everyone read til the end of the period. Angela takes out her book and leaves it on her desk unopened for a few minutes. Girl #1 (sitting behind Angela) Hey (tapping her with a note) Here Angela takes the note. She turns around to look at Jordan. He motions at her to read it. She unfolds it and reads it. Angela VO: Dear Angela, we're having rehearsal after school. Can't drive you home. Sorry. Tell Brain I can't have him tutor me. I'll call or something. Bye. Sincerely, Jordan. Angela gets a dissapointed look on her face and slowly folds the note. The bell rings. Ms. Chataval: Read chapter six!! Jordan: (walking over to her desk) Hey. Sorry about that. Angela: Oh, it's okay. I'll just take the bus or something. Jordan: Okay cool. akward pause. Jordan kisses her quickly on the cheeck. Jordan: I gotta go. Later. Angela: Yeah, later (he leaves) Angela gets all her books together and starts putting them in her backpack. Rayanne: (in the doorway) Psssst!! Aaaangela! Angela: Hi, come here Rayanne: (coming in and sprawling out on a desk) What's shakin' girlfriend? Angela: Ugh, you will not believe this. Not only do I have to work with Brian Krakow on some...report or something...but Jordan keeps writing me these..these notes. These weird little notes about his band or whatever and he signs them "sincerely"! Like he's my pen pal or something. No...pen pals even sign "love"... Rayanne: And you're with him because...? Angela: It's not like I don't feel anything for him...okay forget it. This is driving me crazy already (walking out) Rayanne: (walking out after her) Alrighty...Hey can you come over after school? Angela: Yeah probably. Rayanne: Cool. Amber got this fortune telling thing and she figured you're into that... Brian: (walking towards them) Chase! Angela: Ohh god... Brian: Uh, hi Angela: Hi. What? Brian: Well the project...it's due like on Friday, so... Rayanne: (pulling out a lollypop) So start it. Brian: Yeah, normally I would, but see...she's gonna know...if like...you don't help. Because...I'm not even supposed to like be in this class. It's just...the other class was full and... Rayanne: Did I ask for a biography? No.... Angela: Okay! Fine, whatever. When are we supposed to work on it? Brian: Well, today is okay..I mean... Angela: I'm busy. Brian: Well I have calculas homework like every other night of the week and it'll take like 8 hours, but you wouldn't understand that... Angela: (rolling her eyes) Fine! Come over at 6 or something. Brian: Fine! (leaves) Rayanne: (pulling the lollypop out of her mouth) The sexual tension between the two of you is amazing Angela glares at her, and Rayanne widens her eyes and puts the lollypop back in her mouth as if to shut herself up. |

Part 18 Scene 1 Angela's living room. Brian is sitting in a chair almost clear across the room. Angela is reading from the book while Brian is writing something down. The room is tensely silent. Brian: So how's the reading going? Angela: Fine. pause Brian: So...so what did you and Rayanne do? Angela: Nothing. pause Brian: Okay, so you're like ignoring me? Angela: What? Please, my life does not like revolve around ignoring you. Brian: Jeez. Fine. silence Angela: I just...I don't--(stopping herself) I'm just....working. Brian: Yeah well me too.

I wanted to know 'cause I can't give her her saxaphone lessons anymore. Angela: Oh. She's gonna like tear her hair out and lock herself in her room. Brian: Uhh...I... Angela: (laughing) She likes the saxaphone, Brian. The saxaphone. Brian: What?? You think I like..thought...god, just shut up. Angela: (pause) Okay nevermind. I tried to bring a joke into your dark life, and that's what... Brian: God! So I have to like know when I can laugh around you now? I have to like set my watch to when I know you won't pounce?! Angela: (pause) Okay Brian. Fine. You don't want to stay. Leave. It's not like I need you here. Brian: (walking over to her to get the book Angela was reading) Fine! Angela: (stopping him from leaving, and standing face to face) Brian, we had like a serious talk today! We had an actual conversation. And I still couldn't get through to you! Something always happens! If you have something to say, say it. Now. Before the house collapses or something. Brian: Fine! (seriously hesitating as if he's going to spaz) Angela: (suddenly concerned) Bri-- Before she can finish, Brian kisses her! She desperately tries to push him off, not understanding what's going on. Brian: There! Bye! (grabs his books and leaves, stumbling and almost falling. He slams the door shut) Angela stands with her eyes wide with what seems to be terror. Her mouth is dropped open. She screams and runs up the stairs. |
Scene 2 Angela's room. Her face is buried in a pillow. Rayanne and Rickie are sitting on the floor. Rickie is flipping through an issue of Seventeen. Rayanne is staring at Angela. Rayanne: Angela, come on. You gotta talk. Angela: (stifled by the pillow) I can't! It's too horrible! Rickie: Why'd you call us over? It's gotta be important. Angela: (bearly audible) I had to have you here. I can't even describe... Rayanne: Uggh! Just tell us what the hell is going on! The Ray-gun doesn't have all day. Angela: (pulling her face out of the pillow with a terribly distressed look) I...I...aagghh! It's too weird and...not real! (plopping her face down again) Rayanne: Oh that is it! (walking over to Angela. She grabs her by the hair) Angela: Ooooow!! What are you doing?! Rayanne: Speak! I'm trying to get you to speak! Now come on girl, what's wrong? Is timmy in the well again? (Rickie laughs) Angela: Shut up! Okay! I'll talk, but...you're gonna like convulse, I swear. (sitting up) Rickie: Come on Angela, if you can't tell us, who can you tell? (Rayanne and Rickie bat their eyelashes sadly with pouted lips) Angela: Okay, okay. Just...sit down. You'll like, definitely want to be sitting. Rayanne: We're sitting, we've got front row seats, and we're ready babe. Spill it. Angela: Okay...okay. Brian...Brian...(her face scrunches up, trying so hard to get it out) Krakow...he...he was here...helping with that...that... Rayanne: (motioning with her hand for Angela to get on with it) Project. It's a project. We know. Get to the damn point! Angela: Okay! Okay! Umm...so...he was here...and we like..got in this stupid fight about...something..and he was about to leave, and he....he...(looking like she's about to collapse onto the bed again) Rayanne: He...? Come on Angela, help me out here. Fill in the blanks, he...passionately groped you? (Rickie laughs) Angela: (looking even more distressed) He...he...he kissed me! (collapses back onto her pillow) Rayanne lets out a small burst of laughter, and then bites her lip to keep it in. Rickie looks at Rayanne with wide eyes, nearly laughing, but knowing he shouldn't. Rayanne: (still stifling laughter) Well...(pushing Angela's hair away from her face, gently) Come on...it....well...at...at least he didn't passionately grope you. Angela screams into her pillow. Rickie: Hey, wait a second. I thought something almost happened between you and Brian. Angela: No, no, no. What could have happened existed for like a grand total of five minutes. He is just way too immature, and I have Jordan. What would I need Brian Krakow for? Ugh, the thought of it like sickens me! Rayanne: Man, I thought Brian dug me! Angela: Rayanne, shut up! Could you for once, like take my life seriously? Rayanne: Listen Sunshine, this isn't the end of the world. I mean, come on! How long have you known Krakow has had the hots for you? For like ever! So it's not a big deal, he's just living out his "ultimate fantasy" which is pretty mild, cause you know...he's Krakow...you know...in my humble opinion. Angela: I didn't think he would like...act on it. Now I feel all...gross. Rickie: I think it's flattering. You have two guys after you. Angela: Flattering?? This is Brian Krakow! I've known him since he was 5! This is so beyond wrong! Rayanne: Okay look girlfriend, I gotta go meet Tino. He's buying a car. Yeah...right, like Tino could like ever decide on an automobile...but try not to spaz or anything, because it's not worth your time! Wow...you need to dye your hair again. Those roots are showing bad...but anyways, I'll call. Stay here...don't pop any pills, okay? Angela: My roots are showing?? Rayanne: (kissing her on the cheek) Bye hon. (kissing Rickie) Bye sweety Rickie: Bye Rayanne (she leaves) pause Rickie: I don't think your roots are showing...that...bad. Angela collapses again on the bed and makes a few whiny sobbing sounds. |
