written by Joie
added on: 03 Nov 2000 - based on characters created by Winnie Holzman
(RICKIE sits on bench outside GUIDANCE OFFICE. RAYANNE comes out, smiling.)
RICKIE: Hey.
RAYANNE: Uh (laughing) God, that woman! She makes me laugh, I swear.
RICKIE: I thought she was, like, supposed to be counselling you, not working her stand-up routine on you.
RAYANNE: Yeah, well. What's the difference? (gets lollies out, puts one in RICKIE's mouth)
RICKIE: Have you talked to Angela?
RAYANNE: (shrugs) Mm mm.
RICKIE: I'm starting to feel like every structure in my life is falling apart.
RAYANNE: (looks at roof) School's still hanging in there.
RICKIE: (stops, looks at her) Rayanne, sort this out. You want to be her friend, she wants to be your friend. I want you both to be friends. Say the magic words, and mean it.
RAYANNE: Yeah, yeah. Catcha later!
RICKIE: Rayanne!
RAYANNE: Later! I'm late for 'Our Town'.... (Exits)
(RICKIE continues walking. He spots BRIAN at his locker)
RICKIE: Hey, Brian.
BRIAN: Oh. Hi.
RICKIE: Listen, Brian. I know you this isn't really my business, but I need to know. Do you, like, seriously intend to, like, try a relationship with Angela?
BRIAN: (looking round nervously) You think I haven't been trying?
RICKIE: No, seriously.
BRIAN: Why?
RICKIE: Because I happen to know that someone else really likes you, and I want to know how things are, before, I, like, give them my evaluation.
BRIAN: What, is that what happens in the girls room? (RICKIE shrugs) Wait...uh. Who is this?
That you're talking about, I mean...it's just....you know.
RICKIE: It's just...it's just a friend, right?
BRIAN: Oh my God...it's, like, not Rayanne is it?
RICKIE: (sniggers) Rayanne? Uh, no. (looks around) Look, it's Delia, right?
BRIAN: (disbelief) Delia? But, she...um, that is. I mean, she, like
RICKIE: Hates you? Yeah, I thought so too. But, apparently not. I mean, think about it. Why would she hate you so much if she wasn't so hurt by what you did?
BRIAN: Don't analyse things, please. My parents do it to my all the time. It drives me crazy.
RICKIE: Hey, be glad they bother. Anyway, that's the deal Brian. I, like, seriously, do not want to see Delia get hurt. Or Angela, for that matter.
(RICKIE goes. BRIAN stares after him)
