He raises his eyebrows
Sharon: I need you to help me with this year 2000 dance!
Brian looks at her with disgust and turns his back on her to his locker
Sharon: What! I need your help
Brian: did you know that there are like 500 other people in the school that actually might want to help?
Sharon: but why would I go and try to find them when you're here?
Brian just looks at her
Brian: I don't even want to help
Sharon: why not!!! It will be fun
He looks at Delia
She gives him a dirty look

Scene cuts to rickie and Angela
Rickie: Angela! Are you going to the dance?
Angela VO: that's the one question I have been trying to avoid. Because I know rickie will tell me that I should go with nick. And its like I would go with him its just that if I did that would mean that things were really over between Jordan Catalono and me. And I don't think i'm ready for it yet.
Angela: I don't think so. Why?
Rickie: well I want to go. But I don't want to show up alone and look stupid. –He laughs- so will you come with me?
Angela: what about Delia?
Rickie: she's working that night.
Angela: and she can't get it off?
Rickie: no…why don't you want to go?
Angela: I don't know…I just- I don't want to deal with it.
Rickie: do you mean like…obsessing over whether nick is going to ask you?
Angela: What! –She was caught by surprise at the end of his sentence. She thought he was going to say Jordan- oh…no…its not that.
-Rickie looks at Angela weird-
Angela: what? –She says defensively-
Rickie: nothing… I got to go to English. See ya. –He kisses her cheek and leaves-
