Chapter 12
Brad
Outside
Peter and Brad walk up to Cliff-hangers.
Peter: This is Brad O'Neil, please make him feel welcome.
(All the girls stare at him, he is really hot. Juliette smiles and walks up to him.)
Juliette: Hi! I'm Juliette!
Brad: Uh, hi. (She takes his hand and pulls him over.)
Juliette: Sit down. (He looks confused)
Brad: Ok, if you insist. (He sits down. No one talks) So. what actually happens here.
Ezra: Peter didn't give you 'The Speech'? (Surprised)
Brad: Probably, I was sorta out of it when I arrived.
Ezra: Oh, I catch your drift. (Winking at him)
Brad: Ok. (Thinking he is very weird.)
Ezra: (pointing) Yeah well, I'm Ezra, this is Scott, the growth on him is Shelby, (Shelby glares at Ezra) Auggie, Daisy, Jason, Juliette, as you know and that thing there is David.
David: (Sticking out his hand and shaking Brad's) Nice to meet you man.
Brad: The pleasure is all yours.
David: Not enjoying it so far?
Brad: You could say that.
David: I just did.
Brad: (Not a question) You think.
Ezra: Ohhh! David has a sarcastic competitor!
(Brad stares at him amazed at how strange he is)
Juliette: Leave him alone. (Ezra goes red and mumbles something.)
(Brad thinking: Man, these are not my people. They're raving loonies!)
Auggie: Class's in ½ hour, I've got homework to do. (He gets up to go to the dorms)
Scott to Brad: (getting up) You need help unpacking? (Brad has his bag still with him.)
Brad: Nuh, but it would probably help if I knew where to go.
Guys' dorm room
All the guys walk in. Brad looks around.
Brad: Not bad.
David: (interrupting) You're kidding, I've seen better rat holes.
Brad: At least it's got a roof!
Scott: (Concerned) You're last place didn't have a roof?
Brad: Yeh, it did, sort of. (Grinning, remembering the flat, that looked more like a run down warehouse.)
Recreation room
Amy, Juliette and Daisy are talking, Scott and Shelby are making out, Ezra, Auggie, David and Jason are playing cards. Brad is reading, he is tapping his foot to a beat in his head. He suddenly looks up.
Brad: Anyone got any paper?
Auggie: Nuh.
(Brad gets up and runs out. A few minutes later he comes back in walking while writing vigorously.)
Juliette: What are you doing?
(Brad holds up his hand to silence her and keeps writing. She gets up intrigued and walks over. He stops writing and starts reading it smiling. She peers over his shoulder trying to read it, he notices and hides it.)
Juliette: (Whining) What is it?
Brad: Nothing.
Juliette: Come on! Please.
Brad: They're lyrics.
Juliette: To a song?
Brad: (Sarcastically) Nuh, to a tree.
Juliette: What?
Brad: (looking at her amazed) Never mind.
Juliette: Are you writing a song?
Brad: Hopefully.
Juliette: Wow! Do you play anything?
Brad: Drums and guitar, oh, and recorder.
Juliette: Wow!
Brad: It's not that amazing.
Juliette: Yes it is!
Brad: Ok. (Wanting to get away from her.) Yeah, well I'd better get back to my book. (Hinting, opening the book)
Juliette: Oh, ok (Walks back to Daisy and Amy)
Juliette: He's so nice! And hot! (Giggling)
Daisy: Great.
(Juliette stares at Brad who is taping his foot and writing again, she sighs)
Afternoon - Group.
Peter: Ok Brad, why don't you say something about yourself.
Brad: Um, ok, what?
Peter: Anything.
Brad: (thinking for a minute) Dunno, ask me something and I'll answer it.
Peter: Ok, good idea. Scott?
Scott: Um, do you get on with your parents?
Brad: (Everyone looks at him) No. Next?
Ezra: Where'd you last live?
Brad: A building the landlord called a flat, but you'd have trouble passing it off for a construction site, in the city.
Juliette: Do you have a band?
Brad: Yeah. (Peter looks at him interested)
Peter: What do you play?
Brad: Drums and guitar, which reminds me, can you get my dad to currier my guitar up here?
Peter: You can call him after this.
Brad: Uh, it's not important.
Peter: Anyone else?
Scott: Why don't you get on with your parents?
(Everyone looks at Brad waiting to see what he'll see)
Brad: (looking straight at Scott) Cos my father married a whore half his age, 2 months after my mother committed suicide. (No one says anything. Peter is surprised Brad was so honest) (to Peter.) See, I don't have anything to hide, so can I go back to my hole in the ground now?
Peter: Sorry, no can do, its outta my hands.
Brad: Oh well, worth a try.
Peter: Ok, I think that's all, you can go and remember dinner's in ½ an hour.
David: (jumps up and salutes) Yes sir. (Everyone leaves)
Please review!
