Loving Annabelle Page #2

I Never.

Dude,

we're seniors now.

That didn't stop you

from playing

last year.

Would you

shut up about that?

How do you play?

I never had sex.

Now, if you have had sex,

you have to drink.

This is so gay.

Well, you definitely

have to drink to the first one,

because we all know

you're not a virgin.

Can I play?

You've never

done anything, Colins,

so you're not

going to get drunk.

I've done stuff.

Okay.

Annabelle,

you go.

Make it good.

Here.

I've never had sex

with another woman.

Bullshit.

You've had sex with a girl?

It's not that big a deal.

Wow.

That is...

Wow.

Finally, a lesbian.

I was worried we were

never going to have one

after Michelle Peters

graduated.

What are you guys

doing down here?

Getting drunk.

We were just leaving.

You always say the stupidest-

Shut up. Shh.

I don't smoke.

But they're good.

I got them in Thailand.

I don't care

where you got them.

Look,

I really need you to try

to start fitting in here.

How can I fit in?

I'm not even Catholic.

The nose ring.

You want me

to take out

my nose ring?

Yes.

Fine.

Anything else

you want me to do?

The Buddhist prayer beads.

No.

I'm okay about the nose ring,

but these stay with me.

Look, there's

a strict dress code here.

Buddhist prayer beads are-

I told you

I'm not taking them off.

Hand over the beads.

You will respect

the rules of this school

or face the consequences.

Being expelled

from your first two schools

wasn't enough for you?

You leave me no choice.

You will wear this

and add another one

just like it for every day

that you continue

to wear those beads.

I think

it will help you realize

how heavy a burden

denying Christ can be.

I'm not wearing that.

Your mother informs me

that if you don't comply,

you'll be sent

to military school,

so I suggest

you cooperate.

I think you should move her

to another dorm.

Why?

I can't control her.

Well, that shouldn't be

too hard a job, Simone.

I was able to control you.

Your homework assignment

for tonight

is to take

one of the poems

that I'm listing

on the board

and write

a two-page analysis.

And it's due tomorrow.

Hand it over.

I wouldn't read that.

Annabelle,

I need to speak with you.

Why aren't you

wearing your rosary?

You don't want to get

on Mother lmmaculata's

bad side.

Trust me.

God.

If Mother Immaculata told you

to take this cross off,

would you?

I have something

for you.

Thanks.

Maybe you could carry them

in your pocket

or hide them in your bag

where no one can see them.

I'll think about it.

Why are you

making this so hard?

The first person

I fell in love with

gave them to me.

Hmm.

Are you still

in love with him?

She moved to Europe last year

with her family.

Think about it.

Hey.

Hi.

I just wanted

to say thanks again

for the book.

You're welcome.

Thanks for taking off

the beads.

Come on,

Annabelle.

We're going to take

Prissy out.

I'll be there

in a minute.

Did you take

all these?

Yeah.

I didn't know

you could paint on a picture.

Mm.

Can I look at them?

Sure.

These are

really amazing.

Don't get me wrong.

You're a great teacher,

but you should be

taking pictures.

Thanks.

That's sweet of you to say.

Are these your parents?

Mm-hmm.

Are you close

to them?

Not really.

I don't see them

very much.

Your mom

looks like Immaculata.

They're sisters.

You're related

to Mother Immaculata?

How long have you been

at this school?

Since I was 13.

Wow.

I left

when I graduated,

but somehow

I got drawn back.

Yeah, I can see

how this school

would be a hard place

to stay away from.

Who's she?

That's Amanda.

Hmm.

You seem

really close.

We grew up together.

Where is she now?

She died a few years ago.

I'm sorry.

Miss Bradley.

I think Prissy is dead.

I don't understand.

She was fine yesterday.

Look at the bright side,

Colins.

At least you don't have

to smell her gas anymore.

Catherine.

I hate you, Cat.

I didn't mean

to say that.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to say it.

I'm sorry.

It just slipped out.

I can't stop.

It's okay.

Sorry.

Don't apologize to me.

Let me see.

It's bad.

Sweetie.

It's bad.

Okay.

You're not very discreet.

Yeah.

You think I'm an a**hole,

don't you?

Sometimes.

My dad

just sent me this.

It's good stuff.

Your dad

gets you pot?

For sure.

That's weird.

What?

Well, they sent you here

because you're into drugs,

and then your dad

gets you pot.

Yeah, well,

he's cool like that.

So how's it going

with Miss Bradley?

Nothing's going

with Miss Bradley.

I had a crush on her

when I was a freshman.

I'm not gay, though.

I'm into guys too.

Michelle Peters

was obsessed with her.

She used to write her

notes and sh*t in class.

I'm not obsessed

with her.

But you like her,

though.

Hey.

Good to see you guys.

We were beginning

to wonder about you two.

We haven't seen you

for ages.

Now, now,

no need to worry.

It's just our little Simone

has been buried at work.

You tell them

about the ceremony?

No, silly,

I didn't tell them.

What ceremony?

Well-

We're renewing

our vows.

Hey, all right.

We are very excited.

We just couldn't think

of a better way

to celebrate five years.

Hmm.

I'm really, really happy

for you guys.

Yeah, me too.

I'm really happy

for you guys.

Oh, yeah.

Simone, is that you?

Ah.

Close the door,

please.

Come.

Sit down.

Keep me company

for a while, hmm?

We hardly spend

any time together anymore.

We see each other

all the time.

Yeah, but it's not

like it used to be.

You've been out with Michael,

I presume.

I don't know

why you're still with him.

He's not good enough

for you.

I'm really tired.

I'm going to bed.

No, wait.

What?

I can't.

Why?

Because I'm not

interested

in being

your science project.

They're not from me.

Thank you.

You can't be in here.

Well, I need

someone to talk to.

I've had to listen

to Cat and Kristen all night

debate about what's appropriate

to do on a first date.

Oh, come on.

Don't you want to know

what's appropriate

to do on a first date?

All right,

what's appropriate?

Well, according

to them both,

it all depends

on how hot the guy is

or, in Catherine's case,

the girl.

Catherine's gay?

Didn't say

she was gay,

but she kissed me.

She kissed you.

Wow.

Do you-

Did you...

She's not my type.

You play with

your necklace a lot.

Nervous habit.

Do I make you nervous?

Don't.

Hi, it's Simone. Leave a message.

Hey, baby, it's me.

Are you there? Pick up.

Uh, no?

I didn't always want

to be a priest.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I really wanted to be

in the circus.

That's what I wanted.

You know, with elephants

and zebras

and those performers,

all those different performers.

But one Sunday,

I was in church

and heard

our priest saying,

"You know, some

of those performers are gypsies.

"And gypsies are

the children of the devil.

"And if you're

on the path to God,

"I would suggest

that you do not frequent

a place like that. "
