Tuesday at school. Logan is getting his notebook out of his locker for first period. He hears snickering behind him and knows it's Justin so he runs to the language arts classroom*
Not so fast pipsqueak. We have some unfinished business to attend to starting with my fist pounding into your pathetic little skull!! "He says as he grabs his shirt collar and raises his fist"
Put him down right now Justin!! "James says" You're a jerk! That's all you are!!
Don't tell me what do! "Justin says"
The language arts teacher Miss Shapiro comes out* Justin you have detention. Go now!
Justin roughly drops Logan on the ground and reluctantly obeys*
You ok? "James says"
Yeah I'm fine thanks but don't think this makes up for what you and the guys said to me yesterday "Logan says and goes to class"
During lunch*
Logan are you still mad at us? "Kendall says"
Yes. You guys really hurt my feelings yesterday. You don't believe that I can do this but I can. I really can. I don't care if I don't win the talent show. Getting an applause is all I want
We're sorry. We just really think you should do something more interesting "Kendall says"
Which means you're not really sorry at all "Logan says and gets up to throw away his trash"
Later on during free period he's walking out of the bathroom and hears a lovely voice down the hallway and sees a girl from his art class singing by herself* Jenny?
gasps* You weren't suppose to hear that! No one was! "She says"
Was that you singing the elements of the periodic table? "He says"
Yeah. So lame right? "She says nervously"
No way. Your voice is beautiful. You should sign up for the school talent show. You'll be a huge hit "He says"
I would be I get terribly severe stage fright "She says"
I feel the same way doing oral reports "He says" My throat tightens, my palms get all sweaty and start getting double vision. It is not fun at all
Gosh that's awful "She says"
I've got an idea. How about we're work together in the talent show? I've already picked what I'm gonna do. It's similar to what you're doing. If you have a partner you might not be as nervous "He says"
You would really do that for me? "She says"
Of course "He says" You actually talk to me and treat me like a human being. Other girls in this school only treat me like a human calculator. There's more to me than just numbers. I've got feelings
You sure do. Ok I'll do the talent show with you. I'll sign up after school "She says"
Great "He says"
Later that day in the car pool lane Justin is starting trouble again. All the kids waiting for their parents to arrive scatter and hide*
Where did everybody go? "Jenny says looking up from her book"
Behind the trees cuz Justin is coming "Logan says" Hide! *They crouch behind a bush and wait for him to pass*
He's never gonna give up is he? "Jenny says"
Not until I'm eliminated from the planet "Logan sadly says"
You're so much smarter and kinder than him. He's just a jerk full of negativity "Jenny says"
Thanks Jenny "Logan says" My mom is here. You come over to my house to practice with me. I'll show you what my talent is
Cool. I'll just see if it's ok with my parents "Jenny says"
At The Mitchell Residence*
Jenny is dropped off*
Hey Jenny. We can work right here in the living room "Logan says" You ready to get to work?
Yeah I sure am "She says"
Want a snack before we start? "He says"
Sure "She says"
Logan brings out a bowl of pretzels and two juice boxes from the kitchen and they get to work*
After 2 hours she has to go home*
