I hope you like it. It all just came into my head so I had o write it down! This is in modern times, more or less, and everyone has been out of high school for a year or so (good ol' Spence Academy for young men and ladies). What happens when they meet up again and some new characters are thrown into the mix? Lets find out…
GEMMA enters her room, expecting to find Simon there. Even though he is her fiancé, he insists on sneaking around.
GEMMA: Hey, Simon! You know, you really don't have to sneak through my bedroom window anymore. We're engaged, in case you haven't noticed. (She rolled her eyes at him)
SIMON: I know, but your grandmother creeps me out! She's always staring at me, like I have antennae growing out of my head!
GEMMA: She likes you, though! She really likes you! Maybe she's afraid you'll disappear! Like poof! (She waves her hands in his face)
SIMON: Wait! I hear her coming! I have to hide!
SIMON scrambles around her room, searching for a hiding place. Finally, he decides on the closet, sending GEMMA into a fit of giggles.
GEMMA: Really, Simon! This is ridiculous! She was just going to the bathroom! She's probably…what the?
A head starts to appear over GEMMA's windowsill, which she quickly recognizes as KARTIK. When he finally gets over the windowsill, she walks over hits him on the back of his head.
GEMMA: What is wrong with you! You nearly gave me a heart attack! And I haven't seen you for more than a year! You're lucky I didn't push you out of the window! Two stories would not be a nice fall for you! You better talk fast because it is not too late for me to push you! (she grins)
KARTIK: Please, Gemma, I just came back to tell you that I still love you.
SIMON is looking on the situation and is furious. GEMMA is trying to convince herself that she's not there and this isn't happening. When she looks up again, she finds that she is still, in fact, there. She is on the verge of tears.
GEMMA: But I'm getting married!
KARTIK: (looks indignant) To who!
SIMON steps out of the shadows, smirking.
SIMON: To me.
KARTIK: (snorts) To you, Middleton? Gemma has better taste than that! Don't you Gemma?
GEMMA is looking around, silently pleading with the Earth to just swallow her whole.
GEMMA: Well…um…
SIMON: (looks smug)She said that she loves me.
GEMMA smacks his arm.
GEMMA: Simon!
KARTIK: Yeah, well…I've touched her-
GEMMA smacks his arm before he can complete his statement.
GEMMA: Kartik!
KARTIK: I was only telling him of our past endeavors, dear.
GEMMA: Don't call me that!
KARTIK: But you are a dear! And you're my sweetie pie and my sugar cakes and-
GEMMA: We are not together anymore!
KARTIK: Don't forget, you're still my honey-buns!
GEMMA: You left me, remember?
KARTIK: Does it matter?
GEMMA: Yes it matters! It matters a lot! Why don't you just go away!
KARTIK: Well, fine! If you insist on having your little dramatic outbursts, I will! Ignore me. I'm not even here. In fact, let's pretend that I'm a figment of your imagination.
GEMMA turns away from KARTIK. Suddenly, she squeals, as she feels a pinch on her rear.
GEMMA: Kartik!
KARTIK: It wasn't me. I'm just a figment, remember?
GEMMA: Simon!
SIMON sheepishly looks up at GEMMA.
SIMON: Sorry! I just had to see if you were really honey-buns.
GEMMA glares at him, her cheeks blazing, when she is suddenly distracted by another head appearing over her windowsill. GEMMA runs over one she realizes who it is: One of her friends from college, GEM.
GEMMA: Hi!
GEM: Hi Gemma! Are you busy?
GEMMA: Thank goodness you're here! I mean...no…I'm not busy. Boys, say hello to Gem.
KARTIK/SIMON: Gem!
GEM: I know! It's weird, right? We are so twinnies!
GEMMA: I know! Twinnies!
GEMMA and GEM grin, while the boys look on with confusion etched all over their faces.
SIMON: But your nickname is Gem! What am I supposed to call you now?
KARTIK: (grinning)You could call her honeybuns
GEM: (smiles) Gemma! So you were busy before I came!
GEMMA: Well, yes. But not in that way! You think I would with those two?
SIMON/KARTIK: Hey!
SIMON: You're engaged to-
GEMMA: Shut up Simon!
GEM: Engaged? What do you mean, engaged?
SIMON: Well you see, when a man and a woman love each other, they want to make a commitment in the form of marriage and so-
GEM: Shut up Simon! I know what it means! (to Gemma) I knew you two were serious, but I didn't know it was that serious!
GEMMA blushes.
GEMMA: Can we please just talk about this later?
GEM is about to argue, when yet another head appears over GEMMA's windowsill. SNICKERS climbs into the room and looks up, confused.
SNICKERS: Am I interrupting something?
EVERYONE: (shouts)Yes!
SNICKERS: Fine. I'll leave.
SNICKERS sits in the window, prepared to climb back down.
GEMMA: No, Snickers, don't leave. We were just in the middle of something, but its over now, right everyone? Right?
There is a general mumble of discontentment, but GEMMA ignores it.
SNICKERS: So, what's up?
GEMMA: Not much. Just having a discussion with everyone. So, Snickers-
KARTIK: Just hold on! Who the hell is he!
SIMON: And what kind of a name is Snickers!
Once again, the attention is on GEMMA, who is wishing that they will just forget about it and move on, which, of course, does not happen.
GEMMA: Um…I…Gem, help me out here!
GEM: Me! Fine…We've shared an apartment for the last year, me Gemma, Snickers and another girl, Novel.
SIMON: Will someone please explain to me why he is the only guy in the apartment?
SNICKERS: You know, I've been wondering that myself.
KARTIK: Maybe he's gay!
GEMMA: Believe me, he is not gay.
SIMON: And how do you know that!
GEMMA is wondering why she keeps getting into situations where she is the center of attention.
GEMMA: I…um…Look over there!
GEMMA is saved by yet another head appearing over her window. It is NOVEL, another friend from college.
GEMMA: I am really going to have to start locking my window!
NOVEL: Hey Gemma! What's going on? I am so happy that we're on summer break! We can do all kinds of stuff now that…
NOVEL trails off as she finally realizes that there are other people in GEMMA's room.
NOVEL: Not to be rude or anything, but, why are you all here? (she pins Kartik with a glare) Especially you. Why are you still here?
KARTIK: The only reason that I haven't stormed out of here yet is because I think that Gem is cute.
GEM/GEMMA: What?
KARTIK walks closer to GEM, until he is standing right next to her and looking into her eyes. GEM's eyes widen and she breaks eye contact. Now, she is looking at Gemma.
GEM: Gemma? Help me!
GEMMA does not answer; she is too busy glaring at both GEM and KARTIK.
SIMON: Gemma! That better not be jealousy I see in your eyes!
NOVEL: Shut up, Simon! It's not like you own her! She can be jealous whenever she wants to!
SIMON: I may not own her, but I do own that ring on Gemma's finger, seeing as she is my fiancée!
NOVEL/SNICKERS: What? Fiancée? Gemma?
GEMMA: Well, you see, what happened was, at that place at the time, we were doing stuff and he-
NOVEL: Why wasn't I informed of this!
GEM: I didn't know either!
NOVEL: You know what? Guys, you need to get out!
GEM: Yeah! We need to have a girl talk!
Both NOVEL and GEM look extremely menacing as they advance on the boys, driving them toward GEMMA's bedroom door. Once KARTIK, SIMON and SNICKERS have been locked and barred out of the room, they look at one another.
SNICKERS: This is and odd situation.
KARTIK: Here we are, three big, strong men, and we just got forced out of a room by three girls.
SIMON: I feel slightly wimpy. Wait, I hear her grandmother coming! Hide!
The guys quickly scramble for the nearest door, which, unfortunately, happens to be a closet.
SNICKERS: Is it just me, or is there something wrong with this situation?
They were waiting for some sign that Gemma's grandmother was leaving the area. So there they were, three guys, in a dark closet, waiting.
