Chapter 1: Feelings
Alex: Well, I feel accomplished. Another day of pouring cheese onto peoples nachos complete.
Paige: It wasn't that bad. I guess people are getting tired of the movies.
Alex: It doesn't surprise me. I never understood how you humans could stand to be in a theatre with complete strangers and watch a movie that more times than not has a corny storyline.
Paige: That's not true there have been some pretty good movies this year.
Alex: Aaah spoken like a true human.
Paige: So what are you doing after we leave?
Alex: Oh, nothing probably go home and listen to my mom and Chad argue. My usual.
Paige: Or you could hang out with me and Matt bring Jay if you want.
Alex: Me and Jay aren't together anymore and since when do we call our yoga teacher by his first name?
Paige: (blushes) Shut up. Why aren't you and Jay together anymore?
Alex: Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter.
Paige: So are you coming or what?
Alex: I'll walk you to where you guys are meeting then I'm heading home. I'm not really third wheel material.
(The girls leave the locker room through the back exit into an ally)
(Paige's cell phone rings)
Paige: Hello. Oh hey Matt. You can't make it. I understand, bye.
Alex: Prince Matt can't make it huh, to busy slaying the town's dragon?
Paige: Yeah, guess you won't have to worry about being the third wheel now.
Alex: So where to my disappointed friend?
Paige: Let's go by my place and hang out.
Alex: Wow, I get to step foot into the castle.
Paige: Shut up.
(The girls arrive at Paige's house and goes to Paige's room)
Paige: So what do you want to do?
Alex: Barf. How can you stand being surrounded by so much pink?
Paige: Whatever.
Alex: No honestly, how can you/
Paige: You want something to drink?
Alex: No I'm good. So Ms.Oleander, how are you guys doing?
Paige: I'm not telling you anything until you tell me why you and Jay broke up.
Alex: You don't give up do you?
Paige: Nope. But don't change the subject.
Alex: I just wanted something more than the partying and sex.
Paige: Understandable. But you and Jay have been together since the beginning of time it's just weird. So you have anybody in mind?
Alex: Yeah, believe it or not.
Paige: Oooh really, who?
Alex: I'm not ready to tell you the persons name but I can tell you that they are really special to me.
Paige: Hmm, well that's good. But please don't leave me hanging who is it? The least you could do is tell me if they go to Degrassi.
Alex: If you must know yes they do.
Paige: Alright then I get to guess. Uh, Craig?
Alex: Don't play with me Paige.
Paige: Jimmy?
Alex: No.
Paige: Spinner?
Alex: Eww, he's your type not mine. (sigh) Paige it's not a dude.
Paige: Oh, Alex I didn't know.
Alex: its ok I didn't expect you to. This is not the way I planned in telling her. Who am I kidding I wasn't going to tell her, this isn't going to end well.
Paige: So who's the lucky girl?
Alex: Paige, I don't think I can tell you.
Paige: I don't see why not unless – Oh, I get it. Wow, I'm shocked and yet flattered at the same time. So, for how long?
Alex: Awhile. Paige I didn't want to tell you because I don't want things to become awkward between us.
Paige: Hon, I get it really I do. I get where your coming form but, have you met my brother. How can you expect things to get awkward?
Alex: (smiles a little)
Paige: So Jay got jealous of me huh?
Alex: Yeah. Pathetic isn't he.
Paige: No not really. I mean who isn't jealous of me.
Alex: (laughs) Whatever.
Paige: So this is why you put up with my bullshit.
Alex: Yeah. But you're not that bad.
Paige: Yeah, I know.
(Alex throws a pillow at Paige)
Paige: Oh really.
(Girls start to play fight. The girls stop and Alex is on top of Paige, Alex kisses Paige.)
Alex: Oh my god Paige, I'm sorry I don't know what happened. Maybe I should go—
Paige: Shh. (Paige kisses Alex) You talk too much.
Chapter 2 – Reputation
Setting: The next morning in Degrassi's hallway
Alex: Paige!! (Alex runs to catch up with Paige) Look about last night—
Paige: Don't worry about it, I know it was just us caught up in the moment.
Alex: Umm—
Paige: (smiles) See you at work.
(Paige walks away)
Alex: I can't believe that's all it was to her. I know it was more, if it wasn't why'd she kiss me back?
(Later in at the movie theatre)
Paige: Here you go one large popcorn and soda. Whew! I'm tired.
Alex: Yeah, I hear you there.
Paige: Alex are you ok? You've seemed distant all day today.
Alex: Huh, oh yeah I'm alright.
Paige: You sure you know that you can always talk to me.
Alex: Alright, look to be honest with you I was thinking about last night.
Paige: Alex I thought we agreed that we were caught up in the moment.
Alex: No you agreed to that. If that is the case then why'd you kiss me back?
Paige: Alex, hun look I didn't mean to lead you on it just happened. I'm not gay or bi. I love Matt. What happened last night was just a mistake, it can't happen again.
Alex: Whatever. I got to get back to work.
(After that it was quiet between the two girls)
Paige: I don't mean to hurt her, its just we're from to separate worlds and we could never happen. There would be too much talk plus there is Matt.
Alex: I can't take this every time I open up a little I regret it.
(Next day at school)
Jay: Ay yo Paige.
Paige: Yes Jay.
Jay: Lexi, wants to speak to you.
Paige: Where is she?
Jay: Girls washroom.
Paige: Alex, are you here?
Alex: Yeah, Paige I'm here
Paige: Jay said you wanted to see me?
Alex: Yeah. (Alex locks bathroom door) I want you to tell me honestly that you felt nothing when I kissed you.
Paige: Alex don't do this.
Alex: come on just tell me that and I'll never bring it up again.
Paige: Alex, come on just drop it.
Alex: You can't can you? Why Paige? Why can't we be together?
Paige: Alex, I told you –
Alex: You told me a bunch of crap.
Paige: I have a boyfriend
Alex: That you don't give a damn about.
Paige: I love Matt.
Alex: And I love you. You can't tell me the truth about how you feel because you're worried about your reputation. You're worried about what everyone is going to say which I really don't understand.
Paige: I know that you couldn't give a damn about whether or not people talk about you but Alex you aren't cheerleading captain, you aren't –
Alex: Oh, I get it, well I'm sorry Paige if you being seen with me is cramping your style.
Paige: Alex, listen to me I think that you're pretty, smart, and funny it's just that I'm not attracted to you the way you are to me so I'm sorry.
Alex: You know what, whatever be with who you want. But Paige do us all a favor and stop lying to yourself.
(Alex leaves Paige in the bathroom to be wrapped in her sadness)
