A/N: Don't own any characters except Nurse Tripper.
Boy Who Cried Wolf
Act IV
Scene I
Setting: Lunch period the next day. Emma has filled Sean in on everything. Toby and Manny are already there when J.T. saunters in.
J.T.: (looks around the table) Oh good, the whole crew's here for this.
Emma: Oh, come on, J.T., you know we need everyone if it's going to work.
J.T.: Yeah, yeah. I just don't want you telling everyone about it.
Manny: Wait, weren't you the one who was dieing to have us believe you in the first place?
J.T.: Yes, but that was different. You guys are my best friends. In case you didn't notice, this is kinda embarrassing. (J.T. looks at Sean.) So, you told him?
Sean: Yup.
J.T.: And do you believe me?
Sean: Sort of, you'd just need more proof, I mean it's not like he actually did anything to you.
Emma: Exactly, we need more proof. We've got to somehow make him think that J.T.'s interested, and then see what he does.
Toby: Well, what's your plan?
Emma: Hold on, I'm getting to that. But first, (she turns to Sean) we are going to need you to help us.
Sean: Wait, help you how?
Emma: Your friend, Marco, he's got asthma, right?
Sean: Yeah, so? (suspicious stare)
Emma: Well, do you think that you could maybe convince him to fake an asthma attack?
End Scene.
Act IV
Scene II
Setting: Sean, Emma, Toby, J.T., and Manny are standing outside Nurse Tripper's office the following afternoon during their lunch period. {For this story, assume that 9th and 10th graders eat lunch during separate periods.}
Emma: Okay, let's go over this one more time. Once J.T. goes in, where is everyone going to be?
Toby and Manny: In the cafeteria ready with explanations for where all you guys are.
Manny: And that's only if anyone asks. (Emma nods in approval. She looks at Sean wanting an answer. He responds.)
Sean: Waiting for you outside of Simpson's class.
J.T.: And of course, I'll be (hesitates, then points at the office door) ...in there.
Emma: Relax, J.T. We've got everything under control.
J.T.: Yeah, but what if he actually does make a move? (He shudders at the thought)
Emma: Then we've got it all on tape. (She pulls out a tape recorder and hands it to J.T. He smiles and looks at it. Then, he presses record and puts the recorder in his hoodie pocket. J.T. looks up at everyone.)
J.T.: Ready?
(Everyone seems a bit nervous but say "Ready." They turn and go their separate ways.)
End Scene.
That's it for this chapter. Sorry I wrote another short one. It's a new habit of mine. If you want to read more, then review!
