Act 1, Scene 7

(In the living room on the couch, Nicole next to Josh and Drake on the armchair)

Josh: Do you want me to start?

Nicole:No, I think I should. When I was about 5, my father left my mother and I for another woman.

Nicole: No, she didn't have a clue because she was so tired after work, she went strait to bed and was sound asleep.

Josh: Now, what was one of the parts you conviently for you 'forgot to tell me '?

Nicole: Yeah, but let me continue. Now, at first he just yelled at me for no reason at all, then he started to kiss her infront of me, while mom was at work.

Drake:So your father was having an affair?

(Nodding solumnly) Nicole: Yes. When I was 7, mom started to work late during the week to, and she was so oblivious to the fact that Dad didn't love her anymore, that she was just so anxious to get home and go to bed. Then, one day, I accidently made fun of his 'new love' as he called her, he slapped me, and I told mom, so then he moved to China.

Drake: China?

Nicole:Don't ask. I was so confused! I mean, I just concentrated on my schoolwork and totally ignored my home life. It was quite annoying actually.

Drake: That's horrible, you had a terrible childhood.

Nicole: Please, don't tell anyone else, and don't treat me any differently that you did earlier today.

Drake: Yes, ok.

(Audrey and Walter walk in)

Audrey: Nicole, it's so great to meet you!

Walter: You look so different!

Nicole: Thank you.

Audrey: I suppose you've heard the news.

Nicole: Yes, I have, and I have one question for you.

Audrey: And, what is that, dear?

Nicole: Where will I live?

Walter: We were talking it over in the car, and we've decided to adopt you.

Drake:WHAT! I don't want another sibling! This house is already to full to begin with!

Audrey: Now, don't panic Drake, she is going to share a room with Megan.

Drake: That's going to make Megan's day.

Josh: That's great, Nicole!

Walter: Will you help Nicole take her bags to Megan's room and explain to her the situation we're in.

Josh: Yep.
