Jitters Page #5

- I'll be there in a second.

- How are you?

- Fine.

- Why don't you answer your phone?

- I don't know.

You can at least text me.

- We can at least talk.

- I'm just not interested.

- You're not interested?

- No.

- What do you mean?

- You know what I mean.

I just don't want to talk to you.

- Are you kidding?

- No, I'm not kidding.

Open up, Stella!

I know you're up there!

Open up!

Leave me alone.

I'm spending the night with him.

Stop this nonsense!

Get dressed and come out!

Leave me alone!

Go away!

Come with me at once!

- Do as I say!

- Leave me alone!

I'll leave you alone

when you're home.

How do you think I feel?

You're such a brat!

- How is it upstairs?

- Fun, we're going to dance.

Do you know where Gabriel is?

He's talking to some guy.

At least have the guts

to talk to me. - Leave me alone!

Just go if you don't

want to talk to me.

What's going on?

Is something wrong with you?

Gabriel is gay!

- Hello.

- Gabriel, where are you?

I don't want to talk

to you, Teddi.

He was just joking, Gabriel.

You're not gay?

I don't want to talk

about this, Teddi.

Teddi, I said that I don't

want to talk to you.

You have to come, Gabriel.

She doesn't make a sound.

What are you talking about?

I went to get her

and she just lost all control.

Get her? Where?

To Mitrovic?

I didn't want her there.

Can't you come now, Gabriel?

She doesn't answer me.

I've tried and tried.

Are you insane?

Can you come now?

She doesn't answer.

She doesn't make a sound.

Open up, Stella. Let's talk.

Thank god you're here.

Stella, can you hear me?

Call an ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

Ashes to ashes,

dust to dust.

Give mercy and grace to the living,

pardon and rest to the dead.

May the Lord have mercy

on your soul and grant you peace.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May He lift up His countenance

and grant you peace.

In the name of the Father, amen.

I'll be right back.

- Gabriel, I just wanted to say...

- You don't have to say anything.

I know.

I just wanted to ask you if

you know where Stella's cross is?

No.

If someone knows

where it is...

Mitrovic, I just wanted

to say that I...

Hello.

I hope this is not a bad time

but I wanted to talk to you.

Who is this?

My name is Greta.

Yes, I met your friend

the other day.

I know. Sorry about that.

It's just me this time.

I wanted to talk about this.

I would like for us to meet

and talk things over.

Of course I can meet you.

I wish I could take you with me.

He would run to the hills

if he saw me.

Now I'm so stressed

I could throw up.

It's just some guy.

He's not God almighty.

Are you sure I don't look fat

in these pants? See.

- Greta?

- Hi.

- Sorry I'm late.

- That's alright.

- This is so absurd.

- Yes, rather uncomfortable.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Wasn't this about

some insurance money?

No, that came from my friend.

I just wanted to see you.

Just finish this so I don't have

to think about it anymore.

This is probably good for

the both of us. - I think so.

It's no fun feeling

like half a person.

You look rather whole to me.

Isn't it just one half who needs

to know where he came from?

I guess.

This has been such a weird day

without Stella around.

It's so strange

not to be able to call her.

And just go and see her.

I call her every day just

to get hear her answer message.

Remember when she

first came to class?

I thought she was

some kind of satanist.

Did you know that

she liked me?

Yes, she always did.

- I never realised anything.

- Gabriel, it wasn't your call.

What about this Markus?

What happened in Manchester?

There's not much to say.

One night we just kissed.

We were both drunk

and then everything changed.

Such as?

For the first time, I felt these

jitters that everyone talks about

but at the same time I didn't

want to believe that I was gay.

I kind of wished

that it wasn't true.

This is great. Really.

Then what?

Then I saw him with

some girl at a party.

- Is he bi or what?

- I don't know.

- Can you talk to me, Gabriel?

- I'm coming.

- How are you?

- Fine. Where's mom?

At some meeting.

- Who's with you?

- Greta.

- Is everything all right?

- Yes.

I want to have a little

chat with you, Gabriel.

- How is your social life?

- What?

How...

Gabriel, do you think you

could be homosexual? - What?

Gay.

What do you mean?

There's nothing wrong with it.

I haven't mentioned it to your mom.

I just looked at your computer...

I thought it was my computer,

but then I saw...

It's OK, Gabriel.

If you're ready

to talk about it, I'll...

- What were you thinking?

- I don't know.

- Why were you with her?

- I was just drunk and stupid.

I just wasn't sure

about this.

- You're the first guy I've kissed.

- I didn't know.

- You're also my first.

- I know.

- What happens next?

- I don't know.

I haven't got laid for so long

I feel like I'm in eighth grade.

Like sixth grade for you,

eighth grade for me.

Yeah, right. Dream on.

What's with the frown? Haven't

got laid for a long time?

No, not for a really long time.

- How are you anyway?

- Everything's such a mess.

- Why?

- I met Markus today.

- Are you two okay?

- Okay and not okay...

I don't know.

We're not not OK, anyway.

- It's good that you talked?

- Yes.

What a smell.

I'm going. Judith, tell Hallur

to do the dishes and clean up.

I'm freaking out,

this is so disgusting.

- Hi.

- Hi.

If you don't have the money

tomorrow I'll throw you out.

Geiri, easy on the

throwing people out.

I'll have it tomorrow.

I don't know about you but

I'm really hot for Geiri.

The hottest guy.

How are you going to

figure this out?

I took extra shifts

and got paid in advance

- so I'll have the money tomorrow.

- OK, great.

Which reminds me... I'm going out

to meet Haraldur again.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

- See you.

- Bye.

Good luck.

- Let's get drunk.

- Yes, that's sensible.

No, really. I have beer

and some vodka shots.

It's not like you have something

better to do.

- You're joking right?

- No.

Do I really have to undress?

Yes, one shot

and then undress.

Again?

Yes! A king.

An ace!

That's not an ace, Gabriel.

That's a four.

That's a four.

I win,

you have to take a shot.

Take off your shirt.

Gabriel, you lost.

Not a chance.

- You lost.

- I didn't lose.

- Off with the shirt.

- No.

- You take off your shirt.

- Take this off.

I'm not taking off

my shirt!

- What time is it?

- You'll be late for school.

- This thing last night...

- Don't think about it.

- Sorry, but I don't know...

- Let's forget about it.

Since it happened, I've just been

interested in... this thing.

I was wondering if we...

can maybe and get

to know each other better.

I must admit that I would

really like that.

Thank god for the weekend.

This week was really hard.

- Do you have any plans, Gabriel?

- Maybe catch a movie.

Isn't there a new Icelandic movie

that's supposed to be good?
