MELANIE: Heather's dating a wrestler.
NICOLE: That's different. Heather and Jolt are practically married. |
Don't say that too loud. My mom might hear you. I like this shade on you, Mel.
|
|
|
MELANIE: I know, but that was before Matt.
NICOLE: Oooo. |
What's he like?
|
|
|
MELANIE: I don't know. He's kind of shy.
|
Jolt doesn't have a shy bone in his body.
|
|
|
NICOLE: That sounds kind of boring, Mel.
MELANIE: It wasn't. NICOLE: Oooo. |
Do you know what Jolt did yesterday? He bought me one of those skimpy, underwear things. All lace.
|
|
|
NICOLE: No!
|
Yeah, can you believe it? We were upstairs in my room, and one thing led to another, you know...
|
|
|
NICOLE: Oh, my God!
|
...and my mom was right downstairs in the kitchen!
|
|
|
NICOLE: I can't believe it.
|
I was so afraid we'd get caught, but that just made it more fun.
|
|
|
NICOLE: I want a boyfriend just like that. It's so romantic. (Pause) But I don't think I'm ready to be sexually active.
|
God, Nicki, you sound like an afterschool special.
|
|
|
NICOLE: Well, I don't know how else to put it. I don't want the first time to be with just anyone. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I'm kind of scared.
|
You would be.
|
|
|
MELANIE: You didn't meet the right guy yet, that's all.
NICOLE: You really think so? |
Or else you're horribly repressed and probably frigid.
|
|
|
NICOLE: Shut up, Heather. My mom says, "Wait, don't hurry. You'll know when it's the right time."
|
You listen to your mom?
|
|
|
MELANIE: I think you're smart, Nicole. Take your time.
|
Well, she doesn't want to become a member of the over eighteen club. You don't have much more time left, Nicki. Maybe you could be the president.
|
|
|
NICOLE: If you tell anybody, I'll die.
|
I won't tell anybody. But you better hurry up.
|
|
|
NICOLE: All the good guys are taken. like Matt.
|
I'm kinda surprised you like him, Mel. I wouldn't think he's your type.
|
|
|
MELANIE: Yeah. It's kind of weird. He does this thing when I talk to him. He listens.
|
What?
|
|
|
NICOLE: That's so romantic. I want my boyfriend to listen to me.
|
Jolt loves me. He can't keep his hands off me. And he's jealous. I think it's so cute that he's jealous. As if I'd even look at another guy. Is Matt the jealous type?
|
|
|
MELANIE: It's like...he's my friend.
NICOLE: I want my boyfriend to be my friend. |
That's not what she means, Nicki. Go on, Mel.
|
|
|
MELANIE: Never mind. It's nothing.
|
No, tell me, what is it?
|
|
|
MELANIE: Well, don't tell anyone, okay?
NICOLE: Scout's honor. |
What is it?
|
|
|
NICOLE: Maybe he doesn't feel good from losing all that weight.
|
That's stupid. Jolt says the wrestling season makes them all so horny they can hardly stand it.
|
|
|
MELANIE: It's like he's being careful, cautious for some reason.
|
Maybe.
|
|
|
NICOLE: Why don't you ask him?
|
She can't do that. That's stupid. You don't ask a guy something like that.
|
|
|
MELANIE: I kind of like it, in a way. One less thing to worry about.
|
There might be another reason.
|
|
|
MELANIE: What?
|
Maybe what they say about Matt and Luke is true.
|
|
|
NICOLE: Hey, that would explain it.
MELANIE: Why would he be going out with me if he's gay? NICOLE: Yeah. That doesn't make any sense. |
HEATHER: Unless he didn't want anyone to know. Then dating Melanie would be.. well, excuse me for saying so, Mel... the perfect decoy.
|
|
|
NICOLE: Yeah, maybe he's just dating Mel so that people will think he's not gay.
|
That's really low. Drop him, Melanie. Don't let him use you like that.
|
|
|
MELANIE: That can't be true.
|
How else can you explain it?
|
|
|
NICOLE: Yeah. Why doesn't he act normal towards you?
MELANIE: Maybe he's just not a sex fiend. |
Come on. That's not normal for a guy.
|
|
|
MELANIE: You're right about that.
NICOLE: Why don't you ask him? |
I told you. That's stupid. You can't just come out and ask a guy a question like that.
|
|
|
NICOLE: Why not?
|
Get a boyfriend of your own before you wither up and die of old age.
|
|
|
NICOLE: I told you. All the good ones are taken.
|
Maybe you could have Matt after Melanie dumps him.
|
|
|
NICOLE: I still think he's cute, even if he is gay.
|
You would. Well, Jolt's coming over, so...
