SIDES FOR NATHAN AND BRYCE
NATHAN
How’s the peeping?
BRYCE
Huh... What are you talking about.
NATHAN
There is a reason your eyes have
been figuratively glued to my ass
the last minute.
Bryce, embarrassed looks away lathering hair.
BRYCE
Did I blow my cover, on the first
day? Quickly do something play it
off with a joke. Yeah, a joke that
will work.
Bryce turns to Nathan and nervously responds.
BRYCE
Sorry I have ADD, so sometimes I
catch myself "zoning" out, and
staring at a point in space, in
this case it happens your butt.
But, when I am looking at your
butt, I am not thinking about your
butt, if that makes sense. I could
be thinking about sports,
barbecues, Die Hard or other manly
things that are not your butt. So
if you excuse me I am going to
continue washing my hair. And I’ll
find a different zone spot.
Bryce turns around.
Nathan holds his hands up, backing up.
NATHAN
Sorry, didn’t mean to call you out
on it.
Nathan smiles as he reaches out hand to Bryce.
NATHAN
I’m Nathan.
Bryce turns and gives a spasmodic wave before returning to
lathering his hair.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
BRYCE
I’m Bryce.
Bell Rings. People start leaving locker room. Nathan looks
to make sure everyone is gone.
NATHAN
Have you told anyone?
BRYCE
Have I told anyone what?
NATHAN
Come on, Bryce.
BRYCE
One, not gay. Two; even if I
was this is a weird place to have
this conversation.
A long awkward pause follows.
NATHAN
I remember when I sounded like
that. You don’t have to be ashamed,
Bryce. I know what your going
through.
BRYCE
That’s it I’m leaving.
Bryce storms out.
NATHAN
Well, it’s certianly nice meeting
you Bryce.
SIDES FOR ALEX AND BRYCE
ALEX PERPENSKI
What’s it today? A Peanut Butter
Sandwhich, Apple Sauce, Granola
Bar, Carrots and an Orange Juice.
Bryce’s head raises from his arms looking confused.
Alex’s looks up from his lunch confused.
Alex Smiles.
ALEX PERPENSKI
Hey you’re new here aren’t you?
Bryce tries to be polite back.
BRYCE
Yeah, how did you notice.
ALEX PERPENSKI
You sat at this table.
SIDES FOR PAIGE AND BRYCE
Bryce is slow dancing with a Paige. Her head rests
comfortably on his chest. She looks as snug as he looks
tense.
Paige looks up and from his face. She tries to calm him down
by kissing him on his cheek.
He pulls back. She looks hurt and she lets go from their
embrace.
PAIGE
What the hell, Bryce?
Bryce looks embarrassed.
BRYCE
Paige, I’m sorry I have been
acting so strange. It’s not that I
don’t like you I, I just don’t like
you, like you.
This does not help Paige’s mood. She puts her hand on her
hip and her eyebrow rises.
PAIGE
Come again?
Bryce looks down.
BRYCE
Wow, that could of come out a lot
better.
