Posted by MoChA Zach: So what are you going to wear for Homecoming? Thalia: Well, the theme is “Aloha Chiefs”, so I’m going for that Hawaiian look. You need to bring out your Tommy Bahamas finest for this one. Zach: I got a couple of shirts I could wear. Thalia: That’s good…so are you going to the dance? It is in two weeks, you know? Zach: Yeah, I know. I don’t have a date. Thalia: And I can’t believe you didn’t ask me to go with you. What’s wrong with you? Zach: I thought you swore you wouldn’t show your face in something like that. Thalia: The only reason why I’m going this year is because I have to take pictures for the “book”. Plus I get in free because I’m the Press. Zach: Well, I guess there are some perks to being on the Yearbook Staff, huh? Thalia: Yep. It’s all gravy. Zach: Well, you seem like you would be busy while you’re there. I don’t want to interrupt your work. Thalia: You act like you interrupting my work has stopped you before. Give me a break. Zach: Well, if you’re really up for it, then yeah, you can be my date… [At school, during 4th hour] Thalia: Ok, staffers, I’m going out to get some information on the QB, Ricky. I have a bone to pick with him. So please get your work done. I want all your stuff no later than Friday. If it’s not in my office, then you will get a zero, and I’m sure you don’t want that…[she leaves on her way to Ricky’s 4th hour class, Basketball] [In the courtyard by SGA (Student Government Association)] FV: Hey Zach… Zach: Oh hey, Gabrielle. Gaby: So you going to the Homecoming dance? Zach: Yeah. That’s what I came in here for, to purchase my ticket. Gaby: Well, you can get it from me before they go on sale at lunch. Zach: Well, thank you for looking out for me. I appreciate that. Gaby: Anything for the hottest guy on the baseball team… [she felt herself blush] Zach: Thank you, Gaby…[a bit uneasy] Do you have your dress picked out yet? Gaby: Yeah, I just got it last weekend. It’s beautiful. Wait until you see me! I’m gonna knock your socks off! Zach: I can’t wait. I’m sure you’re going to be beautiful. Gaby: Well, what about you? Have you got your suit ready? Zach: I’m not wearing a suit. I’m just going to get a nice ‘fit; nothing to extravagant. You know how I am… Gaby: Well, I also know that you don’t have a date either. Zach: Well, actually… Gaby: If you’re going with a bunch of friends, that’s cool too. I mean, you could just have me on your arm. I already talked to Calvin and he said he was bringing Jessica Warren with him. Zach: Well, I kinda told Thalia that I was going to be her date… Gaby: Well, Thalia happens to be your best friend…as a best friend, you’re entitled to change your mind. Just tell her that you have a new date but she can still roll with you in the limo… Zach [pulling out his wallet for the ticket]: I’m so glad you think I’m going in a limo. I don’t have that kind of money right now. I’ll be riding in my Mustang. Gaby: That’s fine. Just make sure that you pick me up at 8pm. You know where I live… [hands him his ticket] Thank you and have a nice day… Zach [leaves SGA and continues to hand out his hall passes] [Thalia in the weight room with Ricky] Ricky: What are you doing in here? The weight room is for guys and chicks that actually do something besides gossip. Thalia: Look, smart ass, I’m here to ask you some questions about football. I’m the editor of the sports section. I would suggest that you behave yourself around me because I could publicly embarrass you in front of the school by writing something in that book… Ricky: Is that a threat? Thalia: It’s a promise… Ricky: Well, in that case, what the hell do you want? Thalia: Answer these questions and have them back in the Yearbook room by the end of this period. If you don’t have them back in that room, your interview with me will be null in void. So get to it [leaves the room] MV: Damn, son. She’s tough… Ricky: Well, that’s Thalia. MV: Why does she do that? Ricky: Because I wouldn’t give her any play when she used to like me. MV: Man, what the hell is wrong with you? You’re gonna let a fine ass girl like that walk out of your life? Ricky: Man, I could get her whenever I wanted. It’s not that serious! [Thalia back in the Yearbook room on the computer typing up some information] MH: Thalia can I see you for a minute, please? Thalia: Hang on! I’m in the middle of a sentence [finishes typing her sentence and walks into Mrs. Haines’s office]! What’s up? MH: I just wanted to tell you that you’re in charge of the new Rebel. So this means you’re taking all those lovely pictures at Homecoming. Thalia: Who’s covering the activities after school? MH: Um, I have my Student Life people doing that. I’ll also have my Clubs people doing that too. Now as far as your job, you need to take pictures at the game and at the dance. Thalia [sarcastically]: You don’t want me to do too much, do you? MH: What are you talking about? Thalia: Well, you have to figure in the following: I’m an editor of a HUGE section of the book, I’m in the band so I have to perform there at the game in the stands and during half-time. You want me to snap photos at half-time, and then take pictures at the dance. This is a lot. MH: You think you can’t handle it? I’ll give the responsibility to someone else. Thalia: No, it’s not that. It’s just there’s a lot on my shoulders right now. MH: Well, the only reason why I gave this to you was because I thought you could handle it. But if it’s too much on your plate, then I could hand it over to someone else. Thalia: No…don’t worry about it. I got everything under control. MH: Don’t worry, I’ll be there at the dance taking pictures too. I just want one of my best photographers there to capture those, “Damn that’s a good picture” moment. I know you’re quite capable of doing that. Nobody else on this staff takes pictures like you do. Thalia: Well, thanks…I can handle it… MH: That’s my girl! [At Thalia’s apartment] Thalia [thinking]: I need to hit the pool. I need to relax some. I’m so flippin stressed out. There’s so much shit to do and not enough time to do it [goes and puts on her bikini and heads out to the pool. She finds a chair and sits down to relax. She closes her eyes and dreams about the day she can be with Zach] MV [interrupting her thoughts]: Um, excuse me Miss…can I join you? Thalia [opens her eyes and pulls her sunglasses down below her eyes]: What? MV: Can I join you? Thalia: Yeah Zach. Sit down. Zach: Thank you…what’s wrong? Thalia: Just stressed about all the things going on. I have a lot on my plate. It’s a good thing I had the day off otherwise I’d be crazy right about now. Zach: Oh, well, I’m sorry about your stress. I hope you feel better. Thalia: Me too…so what are you wearing to Homecoming? Zach: Um, I think I’m going Guessed out. I got a nice pair of Guess loafers, a simple shirt, and some pants. What about you? You got your dress yet? Thalia: Yes. It’s in my closet. You can’t see it until next week. [HOMECOMING WEEK] Thalia [rummaging in the closet again for her outfit for class colors]: I need something blue… [she pulls out her navy blue senior T-shirt, a pair of light blue denim Guess shorts, and her white shell top Adiads]. She put her hair up in a ponytail and tossed some gel in it to make sure it wouldn’t frizz all over the place. She leaves her apartment and heads to school]. [In Band] ~*I'll be back in a minute*~
