Chapter 7- Jamie and Catie

Val: (calling Catie) Hello may I speak to Catie please?

Catie: Val? What do you want? Jamie is over right now.

Val: O, well Tyler is over here. We were just wondering if you guys would like to watch a movie or just hang out at my house.

Catie: What movie?

Val: "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Catie: A chick flick? I don't think so.

Val: OK, well at least come over and just hang out.

Catie: Fine, We'll be over in 15 minutes.

*they hang up.

Tyler: So are they coming?

Val: yeah but I made the mistake of telling them the movie. So we'll just hang out and we each get them alone like I get Jamie and you get Catie and try and make them confess they're feelings for each other.

Tyler: Ok, but one more question. Why do I get Catie and you get Jamie when you're her best friend and more likely to talk about these kind of things?

Val: because I can hint to Jamie Catie feels the same way since I'm her best friend if Jamie admits to his feelings and you can do the same thing with Catie.

Tyler: Ok, I'm not sure it'll work but I'll try my best.

Val: thanks a lot.

Tyler: *sigh* The things I do for you.

Val: I'll think of a proper thank you later. (smiling sneakily)

*ding-dong*

*Val and Tyler greet them.

Val: Well I found the movie "The Ring" if you guys rather watch that.

Jamie: Yeah that's way better than any chick flick.

Catie: Dido.

Val: Ok then. Tyler, start the movie while I get the popcorn.

Tyler: ok.

*Val leaves for the kitchen.

Tyler: so have you guys seen this before?

Catie: nope. I've always wanted to but was too chicken to see it by myself

Tyler and Jamie: Wow, Catie afraid to watch a movie?

Val: (Screaming from the kitchen) Jamie, Will you come and help me get the popcorn? It's in the back of the top shelf and I can't reach.

Jamie: Yeah, coming. Don't start the movie with out me

Tyler: fine, We'll wait.

* in the kitchen.

Jamie: ( reaching for the popcorn) Why is it all the way in the back of the top shelf?

Val: We were hiding it from my dad. You know how sick he was before.

Jamie: Yeah, I remember that. I'm sorry about that by the way.

Val: It's fine. He's better now as long as we had all the junk food.

Jamie: yeah. So how are things going with you and Tyler? You guys keep staring at each other at the station and act like you're not. It drives all of us crazy.

Val: Would you be happier if we started kissing instead?

Jamie: No. (still not knowing Tyler and Val are together)

Val: Then what will?

Jamie: I don't know.

Val: Can I talk to u for a minute?

Jamie: yeah, sure.

Val: Well, you see I have this friend.

Jamie: A friend? I see.

Val: It's not me it's a friend. But anyways she really likes this guy and they talk about everything and she can ask him anything.

Jamie: Sorta like how you're talking to me now?

Val: yes. But its not me.

Jamie: sure it isn't.

Val: anyways back to what I'm saying. She like him a lot but won't tell anyone even her best friend.

Jamie: so what is the point of this? You like a guy won't tell anyone..

Val: Well its not me for the last time and if u stop interrupting you would already know. Ok well before you interrupt again I'll just tell you. She really likes the guy but he's a rebelish guy and has a reputation u know like he can't be all mushy gushy and well she's gonna give up on him if he doesn't make a move soon. ( thinking to her self: sure I might have lied a smidge but at least he knows the truth about Catie now. Or at least I think he does.)

*Jamie bends over and kisses Val. * Meanwhile in Val's living room.

Tyler: So how's everything?

Catie: what are you talking about?

Tyler: I'm talking about with you and Jamie.

Catie: Everything's fine. Why would there be something wrong with us?

Tyler: I didn't mean it like that. I meant have you and Jamie finally admitted your feelings for each other.

Catie: (sarcastically) Have you and Val admitted your feelings for each other? Besides I like someone else.

Tyler: yeah we have actually. And who do you like?

Catie: you have? What happened?

Tyler: I'm sure Val will want to tell u all the details but she felt the same way as you already knew and we're going out now.

Catie: Oh. (sounding a little disappointed?)

Tyler: Boy you sound happy for your best friend.

Catie: It's not that. I am happy for you two. Congratulations.

Tyler: Thank you. But anyways, Who do you like?

Catie: you promise you won't freak out?

Tyler: yeah sure.

Catie: You.
