Jackie: Tay... do you think I can move in with you guys? (Picks at her salad)

 

Tay: sure… but why do you want to move?

 

Jackie: My mom abuses me, I know I should tell someone, but I need to get of their first

 

Tay: Omg Jackie, of course you can move in, I will get Eric and Jake to help us

 

Eric: (walking over to the table) I think I am being talked about again

 

Tay: (Laughing at Eric while he puts his lunch down) only good things Hun

 

Eric: Like my good looks and charm? (Manda starts laughing and chokes on her food)

 

Manda: (coughs up her doughnut) sorry, continue

 

Tay: Eric, more like your… brains and your muscles

 

Eric: You’re not a zombie are you…?

 

Tay: Oh yes, I want your puny brain (giggles) honestly you watch too many scary movies

 

Eric: Maybe… any who about my smartness and my awesome build?

 

Tay: Settle down boy, I need you to help me move Jackie into the spare room at my house

 

Eric: You’re moving? (Eats his pizza)

 

Jackie: My mom abuses me, I am tired of it so ya

 

Eric: Sorry to hear that and ya I will help you guys move

 

Manda: Oh look, here comes Colin (Laughing)

 

Colin: Hey people (Goes to sit down by Manda but she moves the chair, hits the ground) OUCH! I know you hate me, but did you have to do that?

 

Manda: Ya, because now I am happy again, see you guys later (Leaves the café)

 

Colin: (sits down and sighs) why does she hate me so much?

 

Tay: Could be because you have made fun of her since first grade, ERIC get your hand off my a*s

 

Eric: (Moves his hand) fine… can I touch…

 

Tay: no you cannot, at least not until we get to my house, for now you can hold my hand

 

Eric: Awe, but that isn’t as much fun

 

Tay: I know (kisses his cheek) deal with it

 

Colin: (Clears his throat) Umm can we get back to why she hates me?

 

Tay: You know why Colin

 

Colin: Was it because I pulled her hair in 1^st grade?

 

Tay: That is part of it yes

 

Colin: But I did it all to get her attention

 

Tay: You can try apologizing?

 

Colin: Greats thanks Tay (Kisses her cheek) you rock (runs out of the café)

 

Eric: So… what are you doing tonight?

 

Tay: hanging with the best guy of all of course

Colin: See you at home Tay (Jumps into his car and drives away)

 

Manda: What’s up with him?

 

Tay: apparently he is in love

 

Manda: with whom? (Adjusts her backpack on her shoulder)

 

Tay: You (Stares at Manda) and I know you like him to, even when your busy hurting him

Tay: I have an idea, Manda do you want him?

 

Manda: Truth? I love the idiot

 

Tay: then I have an idea, come to my house around 8 alright?

 

Manda: Ok… thanks Tay

Colin: so what is this all about? (Sits on his bed)

 

Tay: you’re going to ask out Manda (sits on the floor)

 

Colin: Why? She would never date me anyway

 

Tay: She loves you doorknob

 

Colin: She does?

 

Tay: Mhmm, she is coming over in about 3 hours, you have until then to figure it out

 

Colin: What am I going to do or say?

 

Tay: hold on (Let’s Eric in and brings him to Colin’s room) now then (Takes out the roses, Places them around the room, drops some petals on the bed) See? Romantic

 

Colin: I guess, girls really go for the roses?

 

Tay: Duh, We dig romance

 

Colin: so what’s next?

 

Tay: (Places candles everywhere) Candles make the perfect setting to

 

Colin: Mhmm, but why are they fat?

 

Tay: Reminder to Colin, candles come in all shapes and sizes and smells alright?

 

Colin: Ok, ok. So it that all?

 

Tay: No, here (Hands him her 9 days cd) this is her favorite band, play it softly in the background ok?

 

Colin: Alright

 

Tay: and last but not least (Hands him the container of cotton candy perfume) her favorite smell, spray this just before she comes in ok?

 

Colin: Alright, thanks Tay

 

Tay: No problem, and as for your words, let them come from the heart

 

(8:00 comes and Manda shows up)

 

Manda: (Closes the door behind her) Hey Tay, so what’s going on?

 

Tay: Me and Eric are enjoying banana splits; you are going upstairs to see Colin (Winks)

 

(In Colin’s room)

 

Colin: (Let’s Manda in his room) Hey Manda

 

Manda: (Admires the flowers and the candles, she hears 9 days playing in the background and can smell her favorite perfume) what is this? This is beautiful

 

Colin: Not as beautiful as you, Manda, you are so special and beautiful, would you ever consider dating me?

 

Manda: Hmm I might

 

Colin: Oh?

 

Manda: I like you a lot Colin (Plays with a rose) so if you want to date me, just say it

 

Colin: (Picks up a rose and holds it out to her) would you be my reason to live?

 

Manda: ya, I would (Walks over to him and kisses him)

 

Colin: I love you Manda, with all my heart I truly love you

 

Manda: So… do you want to go down for some ice cream before they eat it all?

 

Colin: In a bit… I want to do something else first

 

Manda: Like what?

 

Colin: Like this (Leads her to the bed and helps her lay down, lays down beside her) let’s just lay here for a bit

 

Manda: I like that idea (Cuddles up next to him)
