Paige pulls up to school in a red sport's car with the top down and expensive sunglasses on. She gets out of the car in a designer outfit.
"Here's for the car Spinner," Paige says, giving him some money.
"Woah," he says. "Where'd you get this all?" he asks.
"New friend," she says. "Seems to like buying me stuff. Ta."
"What's their name?" Manny asks.
"His name is Charles Dugan," she responds.
"You mean the sixth richest guy in Toronto?" Manny questions with wide eyes.
"The one and only," Paige replies.
"Isn't he sixty something though?" Manny asks.
"Fifty five," Paige says. "Why?"
"He's a little old, don't you think?" Manny questions.
"It doesn't matter," Paige responds. "He loves me and I love him."
"Whatever Paige," Manny replies, and walks off.
"And his money," Paige adds in a whisper.
Theme song
"Material Girl"
"I'm so happy we're together again," JT says.
"Uh, yeah," Manny replies.
"Gag me," Liberty says to herself and stalks away.
"We didn't ask for your input," JT says to her retreating figure.
"She's pretty upset," Manny says.
"Oh don't mind her," says JT, "she's only jealous."
"Do you really want a jealous ex?" Manny asks.
"Well, no, not really," JT admits.
"You seem rather happy about making her jealous," says Manny.
"Are you implying that I'm only with you to make her jealous?" JT asks.
Manny knits her brows together, "No, not at all."
"Okay, then, why even bring it up?" JT asks.
"You should make things right with her," Manny says.
"How am I supposed to do that?" JT asks.
"Think of something," Manny suggests.
"What?" JT questions.
"I don't know, do something nice," Manny says.
"What do you want me to do?" JT asks. "Take her back?"
Manny considers this for a moment, "No, but you should find some way."
"Well, at the moment, I'd rather enjoy just being with you," JT says.
"Yeah," says a dazed Manny.
"I love being with you," JT says.
"Me too," Manny says. "Look, I've been meaning to talk to you about something."
"About what?" JT asks. "You're not breaking up with me are you?"
"Not exactly," Manny says.
"Then what?" questions JT.
"Well," Manny begins.
The bell rings, signaling the start of the day.
"Look, I'll tell you about it later," says Manny.
"Okay," JT sighs.
"I'll see you in study period?" Manny asks.
"Of course," replies JT.
The two kiss and then go their separate ways.
Scene change
Paige is sitting in her homeroom telling two girls about her new boyfriend.
"Tell us more," one girl requests.
"He's wonderful," Paige begins. "He bought me a diamond bracelet and necklace set. He says he's leaving all the money in his will to me. He bought me a new car, flip phone, and bunches of new outfits. I think he may ask me to go live in his mansion with him!"
"What are you going to say?" asks another girl.
"Yes, of course," responds Paige.
"What if he asks you to marry him?" the girl asks.
"Well, I most likely would say yes," says Paige.
"But he's so old and you're so young," a girl says.
"True, but age doesn't matter when you're in love," Paige says.
"So you really are in love?" a skeptic girl asks.
"Yes," says Paige. "The first time I saw him, I got butterflies. You see, I'd never met anyone famous before."
"How, um, romantic," says one girl.
"So you'll say yes to a marriage proposal?" asks a girl.
"I suppose I will," Paige answers.
"But you won't get to meet anyone else," says a girl. "Your life will practically be over. No experimenting with anymore guys ever again."
"Well, when you put it that way, I guess I'd have to think about it," Paige says. "But wouldn't you just jump at the chance to be married to a semi-famous totally wealthy guy who loves you?
The girl opens her mouth to speak, but the bell rings and everyone scatters off to their seats. Mr. Simpson goes to the front of the room and begins taking roll.
"Hazel?" he says. No one answers. "Is Hazel here?"
"No," answers Jimmy.
"Have you heard from her?" Mr. Simpson asks. "She's been absent for days."
:"No sir, not in awhile," Jimmy responds.
"Aright," he says.
Mr. Simpson goes back to taking roll.

"So, what did you want to talk about, pumpkin?" JT asks.
"Please, no pet names," Manny asks.
"Okay," JT says. "What did you want to talk about?"
"Well, I need to tell you something," says Manny.
"Okay?" JT says.
"About a career move," Manny says.
"What career move do you want to make?" asks JT.
"I want to be an actress," says Manny.
"Really?" JT says. "Well, I want to be a comedian."
"I want to start now," Manny says.
"And I support that," JT says. "Now-"
"I'm not finished," interrupts Manny.
"Go on then," JT sighs.
"Well, I already gave a talent scout my resume, but he didn't seem to like it very much," she says.
"And?" JT asks.
"Well, I've decided this acting thing won't be easy," Manny says.
"Of course not," says JT.
"The thing is," Manny says, "this talent scout is the best. Almost everyone he sends out gets at least a callback. I really need him to like me."
"How does this concern us?" JT asks, worried slightly.
"Don't tell anyone, promise?" Manny asks.
"Okay," JT promises.
"Well, I'm going to do anything to get on this guy's good side," Manny says.
"You don't mean you're going to," JT begins.
"Shh, don't say it!" Manny warns.
"Manny, that's illegal!" JT exclaims.
"You promised not to say anything!" Manny reminds him.
"Fine, just promise it'll be only him," JT says.
"Okay, I promise," Manny lies, she has her fingers crossed behind her back.
"Look, Manny, I love you and everything, but I don't think I can be comfortable with you, knowing about this," JT says.
"What are you trying to say?" Manny asks.
"It's either that or me," JT challenges.
"Really?" Manny asks.
"Yes," JT replies.
"That," Manny answers.

"Hey sweets," Paige says, going into a huge mansion.
"Hey," he says.
"I love you, Charley," says Paige.
"I love you, too," he says. "I bought you a pearl necklace with matching earring and ring."
A large grin suddenly appears on Paige's face, "Oh you shouldn't have!"
She gives him a big kiss (like one you see in the movies).
"Look, I bought you a new dress," he says. "It's made of the finest blue silk. Put it on, we're going to the most expensive restaurant in Toronto."
Paige puts it on and comes down in a strapless blue silk dress.
"You look beautiful, shall we go?" he asks. "I rented the entire place out."
"We shall," Paige responds.
--------At the restaurant-----------
"This is so nice!" Paige exclaims. She and Charley sit down.
"You know Paige," he begins, "that I love you and I want to do everything for you that I possibly. I want to give you the finest jewels and clothing that money can buy. I also want to give you the finest wedding. Now I already called the hall and made some arrangements, assuming you'd agree."
"Agree to what?" Paige asks ignorantly.
"I'm getting to that," he says. Charley gets down on one knee, "Paige Michaelchuck, will you marry me?"
"Yes," Paige answers with a fixed smile.
Scene change
Manny is in a male agent's office. She is dressed in a micro mini and a black tube top.
"Hello," she says.
"Hello Manny," he responds.
"Please, Mr. Alabastor, call me Manuela," she says.
"Aright," he says. "What do you want?"
"I would like another chance at an audition," she says. "I'm willing to do anything for it."
"Anything?" he asks.
"Anything," she responds.
"Not interested," he tells her.
"Come now," she says, sitting in his lap, "why not?"
"I'm married, and my wife is pregnant," he responds.
"How much action do you get?" she asks.
"What does it matter?" he asks.
"Oh it matters," she says.
"Not really," he lies.
"Oh," Manny says, "I know what guys like."
"Well," he begins.
"You know you want it," she says.
"Fine I do," he admits. "What's the catch?"
"Be my agent," she says. "Get me an audition."
"Fine," he says.
Scene change
Paige is in the bathroom; she takes out her cell and dials a number.
"Hello?" says a masculine voice.
"Um, is Hazel there?" asks Paige, slightly confused.
"Haze," he says, then starts laughing.
"What is it?" asks Hazel's voice.
"You're hazy!" he says, and Hazel starts laughing too, then takes the phone.
"Hi," she says.
"Are you cheating on Jimmy?" Paige asks.
"No, why would you say that?" Hazel lies.
"I called your house," Paige says. "Your mom said you were at the mall."
"Well, I'm not," Hazel says.
"Where have you been for the past couple of weeks?" Paige asks.
"What do you mean?" Hazel asks.
"You haven't been at school," Paige says.
"I've just been around," Hazel says.
"Do your parents know?" Paige asks.
"Nope," Hazel says, "and they don't care anyway."
"Whatever," Paige says. "I'm getting married."
"Great," Hazel says.
"Will you be my maid of honor?" Paige asks.
"Whatever," Hazel says. "Look, I've gotta go."
"Bye," Paige says, but the line's already dead.

"Manuela Eda Santos!" exclaims her dad. "Where have you been?"
"It's only 10," Manny says.
"You haven't been home all day!" her dad says. "You should have at least called!"
"I'm sorry," Manny says.
"What were you doing?" her father booms. "Were you out getting pregnant again?"
Manny nearly tears up at that suggestion; "I was trying to get a job!"
"So you were at an interview?" he asks.
"Yes," Manny says. "It took a very long time, and the person in charge didn't seem to want me using the phone."
"I don't like liars, Manuela," her dad says.
"I'm not lying!" Manny persists.
"Just go to your room," her dad says.
…We are living in a material world and I am a material girl…
