Bridgette was alone in Aftermath studios lunch room, part of her hated doing this show. Geoff has become uncharacteristic cruel to everyone that guest stared on the show. She was deep in thought as something distanced her, she could hear someone entered the the lunch room.
"Yo, yo, yo, Zeke is here dudes," Bridgette rolled her eyes, she never understood why he talked like this.
"Why do you do that!?" She said more loudly then she meant to.
"What?"
"Talk like that? Why do you do it?" She said more softly.
"This is my old naturally way of speaking, sissta."
"No it isn't," She looked serious. "You didn't talk like that at the island."
He sighed, and scratched the back of his head, "You'll just laugh."
"No, I won't."
"Well I didn't make a great first impression," Bridgette nodded, "I'm sorry about that, eh."
"Ezekiel, you already apologies to me, many times," Bridgette gave him a soft smile.
"Well, I still watch the show after I got kicked off, I saw how everyone loved Geoff and I thought if I talked cool like him. I'll make friends, and meet a sweet, but tough girl like you." This shocked Bridgette, she didn't realizes how badly the prairie boy wanted to fit in.
"Why do you like me?"
"What?"
"Why do you like me?"
"Well, " Ezekiel blushed, "Well... You're the first person to talk to me at the resort, eh. You're the first to be nice and give me a second chance, even thought I didn't deserve it. You're the kindness person on the show and pretty..." Ezekiel stopped when he saw her looking at him, and realized what he had just slipped out, he hit his forehead calling himself an idiot. "Sorry...Sorry...Wh...What I meant. Sorry, I... Just don't what to say. I'll just leave.
"No, it's okay," She smiled and motioned for him to sit next to her, she smiled at how shy he became, as he hesitantly took a sit next to her.
"Ezekiel, you don't have to talk like that to make friends," She said softly, "Just be yourself."
"But no one likes me." He said sadly, "I want to make friends, but every time I try everyone ignores me or in Eva or Courtney's case tried to hurt me, I don't blame them eh, I was pretty stupid that day." He looked down at the ground, "I just wish I could have other chance, eh."
"Well..." Bridgette smiled at him, "I do believe people deserve a second chance if they earn one. Ezekiel I was hurt at what you said, but I do believe that you change since that day. I'm willing to give you one."
"Really?" Ezekiel looked up, and Bridgette nodded.
"Yes, just do me one thing."
"Anything." He had the biggest grin on his face.
"Just stop talking like that."
