Patty is preparing Danielles and Angelas lunches for school. Her mind wasn't quite on the job as she was thinking about Hallie Lowenthal and Graham. Her husband couldn't really be on the verge of an affair could he?
Patty- shouting"An-ge-la, dani-elllllllle move it kids you'll be late for school"
Danielle- "Coming mom, you haven't given me pb&jello again have you? I HATE that"
Patty-"No honey, you have ham sandwiches today, that ok by you"
Danielle-"hmmf, I guess they'll have to do"
Patty and danielle hugged. Danielle ran out to the car..
Patty sees Angela saunter into the kitchen, totally in no rush and what seemed to be in a daydream.
Patty-"Angela, how did it go with Jordan last night? You guys dating again"
Angela snaps out of her daydream as soon as she hears her mother take an interest in her love life. That was a no go area for her.
Angela-"Mum! Jordan and I are fine ok, geez what's with the 20 questions"
Patty-"I only actually asked you one Angela not twenty, you are so dramatic"
Angela-"Ok so I better get the bus, I kinda need to talk to Brian.. Where's dad"
Patty-"Your father had to leave early this morning, he and Hallie have a meeting with the investors. Finalizations or something"
Angela-" Ok, well I gotta go. See you later on."
She kissed her mum briefly on the cheek as she headed for the front door. Patty smiled, she was pleased to see at least one of the women in her household happy.
Patty-"Bye sweetheart"
It fell on deaf ears, Angela had left the house.
As Angela walked towards the bus stop, she saw Brian. He noticed her and they both froze. They looked at eachother and then both looked at the floor.
Brian-" Hey Chase"Angela-" Oh, um ..Hi Brian"Brian-" So like, you and Jordan are going together again now huh"
Angela-" Yea we are..Thanks to you and your letter"
Brian-"So you let him get away with it? Chase I can't believe you"
Angela-"He didn't get away with anything Brian, Jordan admitted he didn't write it. He told me how he felt in his own words.
so he didn't need your help after all. Dammit Brian, why are you like this"
Brian-" What I'm like? Christ Angela, get over yourself"
Angela-" If you felt that way about me , you should have told me. Krakow you're a coward"
Brian-"Not at all, I'm not a coward! What, so I should have told you only for you to treat me like you are now? I don't think so"
Angela-"Krakow, that letter was amazing, I never knew you felt that way about me. I'm just sorry I can't feel the same about you back"
Brian-"Yea I get it, I'm not Catalano. Doesn't matter that I've loved you for like, all my life"
Angela-" I'm sorry Brian, really I am. I love Jordan, I can't help that. Can't we be friends"
Brian-" Chase, we never were friends. I was just something for you to use when you needed something"
Angela-"Brian! That's not true"
Brian-"yea it is..the sooner you accept it like I have, you'll feel better about yourself. It's ok Chase. I just want you to be happy"
Angelas lower lip wobbled, she wasn't going to cry in front of Krakow.
Angela-"I am happy"
Brian-"then that's all that matters I guess"
The school bus pulled up. They both got on making sure they sat as far away from eachother as possible.
Angela V/O- I never used Krakow, not intentionally anyway. I look at him now and see such sadness. I feel bad for him I really do but I cant help who I fell in love with.
Brian V/O- She was never going to be mine. I resolve now to stop obsessing over her. I'll get over her. Even if it kills me.
As the school bus pulled into Liberty High, Angela saw the familiar Red Plymouth parked in it's usual spot. She smiled as she saw Jordan, who was stood outside smoking. He was waiting for her.
Angela part ran and part walked up to where Jordan was standing.
Angela-"Hey"
Jordan- smiled at her lovingly "Hey you"
He wrapped his arms around her and they kissed.
They broke off from kissing and Jordan cupped Angelas face in his hands.
Jordan-" So, did you like talk to Brain"
Angela-"Yes, I talked to Brian. It didn't go great but I think we have closure now"
Jordan-"He didn't like, give you a hard time did he"
Angela-"No, nothing I didn't deserve and couldn't deal with. Anyway, enough about Krakow. What class do you have first period"
Jordan-"I got geometry, never been before. Guess it'll be fun"
Angela laughed-" I'm proud of you Jordan, it's good that you are making all your classes now"
Jordan-"Not all of them, I'd still rather learn things with you in the boiler room"
He winked at Angela and she laughed.
Angela-" We better get to lessons, like now"
Jordan sighed- "ok, best get learning some stuff.."
They walked hand in hand into the school. Rickie and Rayanne were stood at Angelas locker waiting for her. They both stared at Angela and Jordan walking towards them.
Rayanne-" Look at them, you'd think that nothing had ever happened. How can she forgive him Vasques, why him and not me"
Rickie-" Rayanne, have you actually like stopped to think why Jordan and her are back together? Have you actually like ever thought , that a sincere apology would like, maybe work"
Rayanne-" I did apologise Rickie, god"
Rickie-" Not enough by all accounts Rayanne, not enough"
Angela and Jordan stopped a few feet away from where Rickie and Rayanne were stood gawping at them.Jordan-" So I like, have to go. But I'll see you later ok"
Angela was distracted from what Jordan was saying to her. She couldn't believe how Graff had the nerve to be like actually waiting for her at her locker.
Angela-" uh huh, sure..later"
Jordan-"Ok, see ya"
He tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed her softly on the neck. She looked into his eyes and smiled.
As Jordan walked away he turned back to see Graff with her head bowed. A cold feeling rushed through his body. The girl actually made him shudder.
Jordan V/O- Why oh why did I have to fuck her?
Angela and Rayanne both faced one another. Rickie shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other.Rickie-" So Angela, great news about you and Jordan. Why did you leave min- I mean Katimskis so soon last night?"
Angela was still warily eyeing Rayanne who by now was twirling her hair and popping gum in her mouth. Looking anywhere other than at Angela.
Angela-" Oh, I uh didn't feel to good. I'm better now. Sorry about that Rickie"
Rickie-"No sweat, you missed an awesome pizza"
Angela-"Rayanne, why are you here"Rayanne looked up at Angela, surprised that she spoke to her.
Rayanne-"so what, I'm not allowed to talk to Rickie when you're around now"
Angela-"You can do what you want, you usually do anyway"
Rayanne-"Whatever Angela. Whatever. Catch ya later Vasquez"
Rayanne kissed Rickies cheek and swung her bag over her shoulder defiantly. As she walked away from Angela and Rickie , she shouted back at Angela.
Rayanne-" Hey Chase, you know he's only gonna fuck you up again right? Just you wait and see"
Angela glared at Rayanne and looked away.
Angela-"Rickie"
Rickie-"yea"
Angela-"She is such a bitch"
