Does She Still Remember?

Prologue

Nicole and Nate are both 13 in 7th grade

Nate is new to the school

Jonah is Nate’s new friend

They exit the locker room…

Jonah: Dude, you were great out there!

Nate: Hey, well, we’re gonna be late for history!

(Nicole walks in the other direction to her class and Nate bumps into her)

Nicole: hey, watch it!

Nate: Excuse me?

Nicole: Watch where you’re goin’!

Nate: Do you know who I am? My dad is a billionaire!

Nicole: (sarcasticly): No, really, well, billionaires definetley don’t have to say sorry for bumping into someone!

Nate: okay, okay, sorry, here’s you….. pen (Nicole has rushed off). (To Jonah) who was that?

Jonah: Nicole. Cute, but can sometimes a DC, (defensive chick.) I dunno.

Nate: (reads on pen) this belongs to Nicole Louellen? Louellen? What a name! Oh, man we are gonna be late! (they rush down the hall)

Next period

Nicole and Nate and Jonah are in the same class

Mr/Ms July: Okay class, the trivia today is, who is the richest person in the world and how much money do they have?

Sarrie: Dalis Rombus, 4 million dollars?

Mr July: sorry Sarrie, that is incorrect. Any other guesses?

Tiffany: (Tiffany is has a large set of lip gloss on her desk) Like Sarrie would know! She’s got pimples all over her face. If she knew anything it would be to use some acne cream-HELLO!

Class laughs

Ms July: I see no one knows the answer…

Nate: oh, um, my father, Richard Subrano, 10 billion dollars?

Ms July: correct!

(Nate turns around to Jonah and high fives)

Class except Nicole: Wow! Awesome! Nice! etc.

Nicole: and since he’s a billionaire, he’s probably also a self conceited jerk!

Jonah: Oh, man she got you there!

Nate:She did not! (his face turns red and he rushed out of the classroom)

Nicole: uh, Mr/Ms July, May I go to the bathroom?

Ms July: All right Nicole. Hurry up!

(Nicole goes into the hall to see Nate crying up against the wall)

Nate: what do you want?

Nicole: I just wanted to say I’m sorry. Most people don’t rush out of a classroom just because someone teased them. Most people either laugh along or defend themselves with something stronger than “she did not!”

Nate: (giggles) Well, to tell you the truth this is my first time going to school in an actual school building. I’ve always been homeschooled before this. It’s just that my dad got a job here, and I had to come with him.

Nicole: Well, I’m really sorry. Also, sorry about how defensive I was this morning. You see, I’ve heard all about you. My mom runs the newspaper, so I know you’re dad is here and all…

Nate: yeah, well, it probably doesn’t take this long to go to the bathroom…

Nicole: no, unless you have something you really have to do…

Nate: what?

(Nicole leans in and kisses him)
