call/ But mostly I hate the way I don '

t hate you/ not even close, not even a

little bit, not even any at all.

She looks directly at Patrick. He looks back this time.

The look they exchange says everything.

Then she walks out of the room The rest of the class remains

in stunned silence.

EXT. PARKING LOT - MOMENTS LATER

Kat walks to her car alone. When she opens the door, she's

greeted with a Fender Stratocaster guitar, reclining in the

front seat.

She picks it up slowly, inspecting every detail, then spins

around.

Patrick stands there, smiling.

KAT:

A Fender Strat. You bought this?

PATRICK:

I thought you could use it. When you

start your band.

She doesn't answer, but hides a smile, so he walks closer.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

Besides, I had some extra cash. Some

a**hole paid me to take out a really

great girl.

KAT:

Is that right?

PATRICK:

Yeah, but then I f***ed up. I fell for

her.

Blushes and looks down.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

You know -- it's not every day you find

a girl who'll flash her tits to get you

out of detention.

Looks up. surprised and embarrassed that he found out

He takes her upturned face as a sign to kiss her and he does

She lets him this time.

Then breaks it off

KAT:

You can't just buy me a guitar every

time you screw up, you know.

He grimaces.

PATRICK:

I know

He quiets her with another kiss Which she breaks off again.

KAT:

And don't just think you can

He kisses her again, not letting her end it this time.

STRATFORD HOUSE - SUNSET

We hear the sounds of MUSIC and LAUGHTER.

STRATFORD HOUSE/BACKYARD - SUNSET

Patrick is at the barbecue grill, flipping burgers. Kat

watches.

KAT:

Why is my veggie burger the only burnt

object on this grill?

PATRICK:

Because I like to torture you.

KAT:

Oh, Bianca? Can you get me my freshman

yearbook?

PATRICK:

Don ' t you even dare. . .

ON BIANCA AND CAMERON As they argue on the patio.

CAMERON:

They do to!

BIANCA:

They do not!

Rises to get the yearbook.

CAMERON:

Can someone please tell her that

sunflower seeds come from sunflowers?

ON MICHAEL AND MANDELLA

Severely making-out in a lawn chair. She comes up for a

breath.

MANDELLA:

I can't remember a word of Shakespeare

right now. Isn't that weird?

Michael pulls her back down for another round ON KAT AND

PATRICK:

She tries to keep him from grabbing the yearbook that Bianca

now hands her.

KAT:

You're freaked over this, aren't you?

Bianca hands her the yearbook

BIANCA:

He's more than freaked. He's froke

Flips to a page.

KAT:

I'd like to call your attention to

Patrick Verona's stunning bad-ass look

of 1995 ---

INSERT - A horrifically nerdy freshman year picture Glasses,

bad hair, headgear -- the works.

She holds up the picture for all to view. Patrick cringes

and throws a handful of pretzels at her.

BIANCA:

Patrick -- is that- a.

KAT:

Perm?

PATRICK:

Ask my attorney.

Kat and Bianca huddle over the picture, giggling -- as we

CRANE UP and hear a GIRLY PUNK version of The Partridge
