Time Mends All
(In school hallway early morning. Ricky and Rayanne are hanging out by the lockers. Jordan and Angela walk in hand in hand, Jordan gives Angela a short kiss and heads off down the hall. Angela looks over at Ricky and Rayanne and slowly makes her way over.)
AngelaVO:There she is. I know I like need to talk to her, but its so unbelievably uncomfortable just to look at her. Deep down I do forgive Rayanne, I just don't know how to tell her. I mean, she really hurt me, how can tell her its, like... okay.
Angela: (Kisses Ricky's cheek) Hey...(looks at Rayanne)Hey...um...can we talk.
Rayanne: I'm late for... something. So...um...later okay. Bye Ricky.
Ricky: (Waits until she is gone)I think she is, like, you know, nervous. Its like she's scared to talk to you or something.
Angela: (sighs) Oh Ricky, (puts her head on his)what am I going to do?
Ricky: Honey, if I knew I would have told you a long time ago. (Both laugh)
(Sharon walks up behind them and pulls Angela to the side.)
Sharon: What happen between you and Brian Krakow?
Angela: (confused) Why, what did he say?
Sharon: Well, he didn't say anything, I mean, I was wondering because, I heard about the whole letter thing, and I though that Brian would, you know, be upset or something.
Angela: So...(still wondering where she was going with all this)
Sharon: Well, I just saw him in the hall with Lisa Harbor, and he didn't look too unhappy.
Angela: (shocked, but trying to hide it.) So...what does that have to do with me? (Hair tuck)
Sharon: I mean, he has been in, like, love with you for ever, he writes you a love letter for someone else, and today he is making out with Lisa Harbor in front of his locker...what gives?
Angela: Am I the last person on the planet to know Brian Krakow has..or had a crush on me?
Sharon: Yes! So what happened.
Angela: Well, nothing really (starts walking to class, Sharon follows) I just told him that I really love Jordan, and I still wanted to be his friend.
Sharon: (disappointed) That's it, no fight?
Angela: No. He said he understood.
Sharon: Oh...
Angela: I gotta go. Talk to you later.
Sharon: Okay, bye.
(Biology class, Angela and Brian are partners, and are working on a project)
AngelaVO: I feel kind-of awkward. I don't know how to talk to him now.
Angela: So...um...Lisa Harbor...she's like a really nice girl. I mean, that's what I heard.
Brian: (not really paying attention) Gee, news travels fast.(sarcastically)
Angela: (a little embarrassed) Sharon told me. (Bell rings) Well, talk to you later...(waiting for a reply)
Brian: (Gathering his things) Yeah, maybe.
(Graham is at his new restaurant talking on the phone to Hallie)
Graham:You were supposed to have been here over an hour ago! (Angry) NO! I'm going home to be with my wife. (Pause) I gotta go...NO!(hangs up phone one second later it rings again) I said NO!... Oh hi Patty, no...no she never showed. I'm on my way, need anything? Okay, love you.
(Brian is in the hallway at school, he approaches a girl)
Brian: (Real smooth) So...Can I get your number?
Girl: Sure (grabs his hand and writes her number on it) Call anytime before ten.
Brian: Okay! I'll call you tonight, maybe we can um...go to a movie some time.
Girl: That would be great (smiles) Bye. (He waves)
BrianVO: Who says I didn't learn anything from Jordan Catalano? This is easier than I imagined.
Sharon: (comes up from behind him) Hey Brian... I don't guess you need my help after all.
Brian: Oh God...(roles his eyes)
Sharon: Well, that was like so rude, I mean really.
Brian: You have a big mouth Cherski. What did you do, go straight to Angela?
Sharon: I just wanted to know what was going on, is that a crime.
Brian: No, its not a crime, but its also none of your business.
Sharon: Geez..Brian take a pill or something.
Brian: Just get out of my way. (Sharon moves to let him pass and gives him the evil eye until he is out of sight.)
(Girls Bathroom Rayanne is messing with her hair, and Ricky is putting on eyeliner, when Angela walks in)
Angela: Hey.
Ricky: Hey! Girlfriend.
Rayanne: (looks at feet) Hey.
Angela:(looks at Rayanne starts to say something then hesitates) Rayanne... Look I've been, like trying to think of what to say to you all day, and I finally decided to tell you that...You really hurt me (voice full of emotion) and its like, really hard for me to tell you its...its...okay. I know that you never really ment to hurt me. I don't know what you were thinking, but I don't think you planned to hurt me. All I know is I miss my best friend, and I'm ready to put it behind us, but nothing like this can ever happen again.
Rayanne: Oh...Angelika (crying) I'm so sorry (hugs Angela) You are like my best friend and I love you. I have never felt more alone than I have without you as a friend.
Angela: I've really missed you. (Chin quivering)
Rayanne: I've really missed you too.
Ricky: I've really missed you Two. (The group hugs and all wipe tears)
Angela: I'm meeting Jordan in like two minutes so I gotta go. (Looks at Rayanne) Call me okay.
Rayanne: (nods) So...you and Jordan huh...
Angela: (smiles dreamily) He loves me...(Ricky and Rayanne look surprised) I gotta go but I will tell you all about it later.
Rayanne: You better.
(School parking lot Jordan is standing at his car smoking Angela approaches)
Jordan: Hey. (throws down his butt and steps on it)
Angela: Hey.(they kiss and Jordan holds the car door open so Angela can get in)
Jordan: (driving) Hey... um...tonight, my band is supposed to practice at the loft. We have a gig on Friday at that place called Vertigo. I was kind-of hoping you would come.
AngelaVO: My life has finally started. I have places to go. I wonder if he knows how happy he makes me.
Angela: Of course I will come, I wouldn't miss it.
Jordan: Cool, so do you think your mom will let you come to practice tonight?
Angela: Um... I don't know. My parents are like, really ancient, and they usually make me stay home on school nights.
Jordan: Oh...Well...(smiles) I'll ask her any way.
Angela: What do you mean you'll ask her?
Jordan: I mean...I'll ask her if you can go...She likes me(smiles)
Angela: (blushing) What exactly did you and my mother talk about the other night?
Jordan: (smiles and looks at her then back at the road) You.
Angela: Oh my god!(laughing) That is so embarrassing.
AngelaVO: I can't believe that Jordan Catalana had a conversation about me. I just might kill her, or myself, or may if I give it just alittle time it may not be such a big deal.
(They pull up to Angela's house and walk hand in hand through the front door)
The End
