Scene
III: First day of school
Mindy has just picked Jennie up
for school.
Mindy: So you made a date with Drake, even
though all summer you heard Megan and I tell you why you shouldn't.
Jennie: Mindy, he kept nagging me. He turned on the charm,
and more importantly, he wouldn't shut up about it. It's not like
one date with Drake is that big of a deal, anyway. If he treats me
like all those other girls, at least I'll have seen it coming, and
it's not like I expected much anyway. Geez, Mindy, who taught you
to drive, your grandma? Tomorrow I'm picking you up.
Mindy:
Well, as long as you don't expect anything. Except maybe for him to
feel you up. And my father taught me to drive. He has a blemish free
record.
Jennie: Well maybe I wouldn't mind getting felt
up. It'll help get my mind off Bobby. I still can't believe he
cheated on me with Rachel. She's supposed to be my best friend. She
knew we were together. The two of them deserve each other. We were
together for three years! That's what I get for suggesting we all
be camp counselors, I guess. No one can resist sneaking away for a
good fuck at camp. But I was there! What does he want with
her?
Mindy: Jen! You are not helping yourself! Forget about
Bobby. If he'd do that to you after three years, how good for you
could he be? At least Drake would break up with you before fucking
someone else; I'll say that for your date.
Jennie:
Great, so now Bobby can't even measure up to the guy you've been
putting down all summer. Okay, I will try not to think about
him.
(They arrive at school)
Josh: Hey Mindy
(they kiss) hey Jen. Drake said he'd see you at 11:00.
Jennie: Hey. Wait, why will he see me at 11:00?
Josh:
Oh, yeah, your beginning guitar class. He is in advanced, and they
get the people in the advanced class paired up with beginners. He
looked at the list, and you are his partner.
Jennie: Well
how's that for unexpected? At least I'll get comfortable with him
musically. The band has decided they want me. I've never played
that kind of music before, and I've never been in that kind of
band. I was getting kind of nervous about it.
Josh: Don't
be nervous. Drake said you'd been playing since you were a little
kid. You'll do great.
Mindy: Hey, we better go; we've
got Women's Studies in ten minutes.
Josh: Well there's
a class I'm glad I'm missing. See you later.
Jennie and
Mindy: Bye Josh!
