A/N: After this chapter, I won't update for like a day or two. I'm going on
a road trip because my sister is going to Boston U and we're going to
settle her in. (Oh, and when phrases have these: '' they are thoughts.)
Ps-I don't own 'em.
Boy Who Cried Wolf
Act V
Scene I
Setting: J.T. slowly enters Nurse Tripper's office. He could feel his nerves getting to him. It wasn't until he was about to go in that it actually hit him how scared he was to do this. He was purposely looking for trouble, and whatever he received would be his own fault. He knew this. But there was just no turning back now...J.T. stood in the doorway. Nurse Tripper looked up.
Nurse Tripper: Again?
J.T.: No, I-uh. I'm not hurt again. It's just I've-uh felt sort of under the weather all week but today I feel really bad...nauseous. (He was only partly lying.)
Nurse Tripper: Alright. Why don't you sit down, J.T. (He stands and heads over to the cabinet.) You know, I'm beginning to think you just like coming here. Even the frailest of students don't come to see me this often.
J.T.: 'He's testing you. Give him what he wants to hear.' I guess. (Nurse Tripper laughs slightly. He heads over to J.T. with a bunch of tools. )
Nurse Tripper: Okay. I'm going to do a quick checkup. Then we'll check your temperature. (J.T. nods. Nurse Tripper pulls out a stethoscope. He lifts J.T.'s shirt up and places its end on his chest.)
J.T.: 'Okay, nothing yet. This is still normal.'
Nurse Tripper: Breath in and out. (J.T. responds. Soon, Nurse Tripper takes the stethoscope off. He then picks up another instrument, does some adjustments and sticks it in J.T.'s ear. As he does so, Nurse Tripper drops one hand onto J.T.'s leg.)
J.T.: 'Don't react. Pretend you don't notice!' (J.T. looked up and stared straight ahead. Nurse Tripper finished with one ear and went on to the other in the same way. J.T. still stared straight ahead.) So, uh Nurse Tripper-
Nurse Tripper: James.
J.T.: Yeah, James. So, uh. Toby tells me that you're not married.
James: No, I'm not. (smiles at J.T. and finishes checking ear. He then place one hand on J.T.'s cheek as he checks his eyes. J.T. blinks with the light. )
J.T.: So uh, you like with someone or something?
James: (couriously) No, no I'm not.
J.T.: But, uh- women. You do like them...right?
James: (Stops his checkup.) That's a very forward question, J.T. (He looks J.T. up and down.) But now that you mention it, no. I don't.
J.T.: 'Yes, I got one!' Really? That's great.
James: Great?
J.T.: Well, you know, that's fine with me... 'Say it J.T., just say it.' It's always nice to have one of your own. (Jame's left eyebrow raises.)
James: So, you-uh?
J.T.: (Hesitates.) Uh- yeah.
James; I'm impressed J.T.
J.T.: Why?
James: Well, that's a very astute revelation to have at such a young age. (He leans in closer.) So, how long have you known?
J.T.: 'Oh god, I can't believe I'm going to say this. Please don't let him be a creep. Please let me be wrong.' Oh well, I've been really confused about for a while,... but I've really known for sure ever since- (hesitates) well, since I've known you.
Switch Scene.
Setting: Sean stood outside the Media Immersion class. He leaned against the wall, watching the hanging clock in the hallway. It was twenty minutes to the bell. He looked out to the other hall and saw his girlfriend, Emma, approaching.
Emma: Okay, I think we've given J.T. long enough.
Sean: You sure? (Emma nods.) ...Okay.
Switch Scene.
Setting: Marco Del Rossi sat in the corner seat of the second to last row in his Media Immersion class. His teacher stood at the front, babbling about something on html's but Marco was not listening, well, barely. He kept glancing from the window to the hallway and back at his watch. He was a little nervous. He'd faked attacks before, but they were for worthy causes- like to get out of going to school. This time, he was doing it to help some tenth grader for something very important. He wasn't sure what, but his friend Sean seemed very certain that he needed Marco's help. Marco looked at his watch again. Twenty minutes to the bell. He looked up at the window and saw what he was looking for. Sean was standing there pointing at his watch. Marco nodded and Sean rushed away. In a minute, Marco would begin his act.
............
After a minute had passed, Marco started to flicker his eyelids and breath heavily. His friends Craig, noticed him.
Craig: You okay, man? (Marco shook his head, grabbed his chest, and started gasping for air. Craig was alarmed but remembered his friend's condition. He stood up in the middle of Simpson's speech about connecting html's.) Mr. Simpson! I think Marco's having an asthma attack!
The whole class was alarmed and stood up to get a better view. Mr. Simpson rushed over to Marco who was holding his table tightly and gasping for air.
Mr. Simpson: Marco where is your inhaler? (Marco didn't respond.)
Spinner: (From behind Craig.) Uh, Mr. Simpson, he keeps it in the front pocket of his bag. (Mr. Simpson nods at Craig. Craig grabs at the bag and starts frantically looking through it. )
Craig: It's not here!
Mr. Simpson: Craig, go get the nurse, quick!
Craig nods and dashes out of the room.
Switch scene.
James Tripper looks at J.T.
James: What did you say?
J.T.: ("awkwardly") You heard it. Please don't make me say it again, it's embarrassing to say.
James: I see. (He pauses for a moment.) Well, don't worry about it J.T. It's not that embarrassing. I can't say I haven't thought the same thing myself.
J.T.: 'Oh shit.' Seriously? About- us?
James: (Nods. He then leans in closer.) Look, J.T., this is very complicated. What say you and I get together some time to talk things through. (He puts his hand behind J.T.'s neck) Maybe work something out.
J.T.: 'Oh shit.'
At that moment, the door bursts open. James immediately breaks away and J.T. sighs in relief. Craig rushes in.
Craig: My friend is having an asthma attack and he doesn't have his inhaler! (James hesitates then snaps back. He immediately rushes to the cabinet and pulls out a small inhaler. He wraps off the plastic and hurries out the door. He calls back to J.T.)
James: Stay here, J.T.!
J.T. leans back and sighs.
J.T.: 'Thank god that's over with.'
End Scene.
Yay, this chapter was longer. Please Review!
