Not Cinderella's Type Page #4

we still had same needs,

desires, and problems.

Just like you.

(light music)

- Indy.

Indy, where you going?

- Oh, sorry, I was

looking for somebody.

- What's gotten into you?

- What?

- You're smiling.

- I smile.

- Okay.

So anything new going on?

All right, spill.

What's going on?

- Nothing.

- Oh, I'm not that stupid.

Now share, please already

or I'll get a complex.

- When have you ever

gotten a complex?

- You are avoiding

the question, ma'am.

You don't wanna

talk, that's fine.

But so you know, the next

time you wanna know something

I'll leave you hanging, too.

- That's not fair.

It's a secret.

- Oh, come on, I'm not gonna

tell anybody, all right?

I won't say a word.

- Okay.

You have to keep

your mouth shut.

- What'd you do?

- Bryant Bailey,

I think he likes me.

- What?

- Yeah, we went

out this weekend.

- Wait, what?

- I mean not on a date.

I mean, I made sure not to

call it that but he wanted to.

- What?

- I know.

It's really really

weird and that's why

I wanna keep it a secret.

I can't even wrap

my head around it.

- Hang on.

Seriously, you're not joking?

- No.

He came over Friday and then

he came over again Saturday

and we actually have

a lot in common.

- The Bryant Bailey?

The guy you completely

despised, who killed your cat,

and has been stalking

you ever since

to apologize for

destroying your life.

That Bryant Bailey?

- Yeah.

- Wow.

I would not of expected it.

- Me either.

- He said he wants to date you?

- Well, not in those

exact words but yeah.

- Wow.

That is crazy.

So what'd he say when you told

him you already had a boyfriend?

- A what?

Who?

When did this happen?

- Last year.

- I didn't even know

you liked me like that.

- Indy, I have always liked you,

you just didn't

want a boyfriend.

- I didn't?

- I don't think so,

so I just hung back

and we were just friends.

- Until last year?

- Yeah.

It seems like it's

a shock to you.

- Uh, yeah.

(bell ringing)

I have History.

- Talk later?

- Definitely.

(sighs)

- On page 275 you're going

to find a lot of information

that you'll find

necessary to complete

the worksheet before

the end of class.

If you finish early you

can use the duration

of your time to

prepare for a quiz

that may or may not surprise

you sometime this week.

We've been studying the

Declaration of Independence

so that's a good clue on

what the quiz will be on.

Remember, Thomas Jefferson

was he our third president

but one of the main authors of

the Declaration of Independence.

I recommend that you

write that in your notes.

- [Maxton] Hey,

how was your day?

- Interesting.

Learned lots of revealing stuff.

So, what happened to

change our relationship?

- What?

Oh, oh, okay, are

you talking about

how I knew you had

just a burning desire

in the deepest of your

heart to be with me

even if you wouldn't

say it out loud?

- I guess so.

- Like how I'm

having fun with this?

(laughs)

Sorry, um.

Do you remember last

Summer you were sick

and you asked me to come

over and I snuck out

and I stayed the night with you

and talked till you

had felt better?

- I was pretty delirious.

- Yeah, but for the first time

I saw how scared you were.

You showed me how scared

you were and it was awesome.

Not for you, obviously, you

were all sneezy and feverish but

you've always been

this tough, fun girl

and then you needed

someone and, I dunno,

I thought things changed then.

- Well, I guess

they did, I just--

- You just didn't

see us as an item.

- I saw us as best friends.

- Yeah, and I saw us as

boyfriend and girlfriend

because I thought I was the

closest thing to that for you.

- So after last Summer why

didn't you say something

or try and take me out

or kiss me or something?

- Kiss you?

You're not the kissing type.

No, no, no, sorry, not

that I don't want to I just

got the feeling you

weren't ready for that yet.

- I didn't even know we

were in a relationship.

- Now that you do?

Yeah, sorry, I decided I

wasn't gonna hold back anymore.

Apparently I am awesome at

this communication thing

so let me try this again.

I, um.

I, I wanna be your boyfriend.

- Thank you?

- All right, is that a yes?

- I need some more

time to think.

- Yeah, do you wanna go

somewhere and do something fun?

- When?

- Tomorrow after school.

- Clarise will have a cow.

- Clarise always has a cow,

she's gonna have

to deal with it.

You can tell her you're working

on a school project with me.

- Okay.

I'd like that.

Hey, Mrs. Whitman.

(sighs)

- [Bryant] Let me

guess, your aunt doesn't

do much yard work?

- [Indy] I have

much bigger problems

to worry about right now.

- [Bryant] Yeah, like what?

- Maxton thinking

I'm his girlfriend.

- [Bryant] Like a

girl that's a friend?

- Nope.

- Do you think of yourself

as his girlfriend?

- No, but.

- Like have you guys

ever gone on a date?

- No.

- Or even held hands or kissed?

- No.

I mean I guess

today we did, but.

- What?

- He kissed me today when I

told him about me and you.

- You told him about us?

- He's my best friend and

he could tell something

was up the minute I

walked in the room

and he started hounding

me and hounding me

and finally I gave in.

But it backfired.

- Well, I guess now things

just get interesting.

- What do you mean?

- Have you ever thought

about giving him a chance?

- You're giving up already?

- Well, you guys have

been friends for forever,

he definitely has a lead on me.

- I have never seen

him in that way.

Besides, what if I start

liking Maxton more than you?

- So you're saying

that you like me?

At least a little bit.

I will be your friend

regardless, okay?

- But what about Maxton?

- I think you should

give him a chance

but I do hope you realize that

I still want a chance, too.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- I'm glad you came out with me.

You're not afraid

of heights, are you?

- No.

Even if I was, though,

I'd stick it out.

It's our first date.

- I guess so, yeah.

Now that we both realize it.

Anywhere you

wanna go let's go

So, just out of curiosity,

why all the awkwardness?

You seemed shocked

I even like you.

- I just never saw it.

- You ever wonder why I ate

lunch with you every single day?

- I thought it was because

we were best friends

but I did notice all

your soccer friends

asking you to go with

them and you saying no but

was that because of me?

- This is a trick question.

Look, I like you, okay?

I have for a long

time and Clarise

won't give you lunch

money to go out to eat

and she refuses to let

you make anything at home

'cause she thinks

it's tacky, so.

I don't know, when

you got embarrassed

about only eating

school food I had my mom

get me meal tickets, too.

- Really?

- Yeah, yeah, it didn't really

matter to me where I ate

as long as I was with you.

- And all your soccer

friends, they know?

- Yeah.

Soccer buddies tease me about

my girlfriend all the time.
