Episode Two: Phone Calls
Scene One
It took the girls almost 5 hours to record the demo with full perfection. By the time they were fully satisfied with their recording, they were exhausted.
Bedah:
He was irritating! I hate him!!!
Siska:
Who? What?
Bedah:
The drummer, Harry! Who else?!
Jan:
You’ve been talking about him since he left.
Bedah:
But did you see him do….
All:
We did!
Bedah:
Oh then, you see the other part where he…
All:
We did!
Neda:
You’re so into him aren’t you?
Bedah:
No I am not.
Siska:
Don’t deny it. Its so obvious!!!
Bedah:
Well maybe, I aint sure.
Neda:
Something is sure gonna happen.
Jan:
We will never know…
Bedah:
Untill the time comes.
Siska:
Yeah until the time comes.
All: LAUGHS.
The next day, the girls crowd around Neda as she took her medicine before they head for breakfast.
Neda:
Siska, why don’t you call Tom?
Siska:
I don’t know, its crazy!
Jan:
Whats so crazy?
Bedah:
Yeah unlike Harry though!
All:
Bedaaah!
Bedah:
Ok2(sounded embarrassed and hurt at the same time.)
Siska:
He aint interested in me. Didn’t you hear, he just wanted to get together for music that’s all.
Bedah:
He is interested in you.
Jan:
Yeah its obvious!
Neda:
I can sense it too. Call him now.
Siska:
Who knows.
Bedah:
Call him now!
Jan:
N.O.W now!
Siska:
Ok2. (the phone rings once twice thrice) No answer.
The girls looked at each other. Siska knows that she wont stand a chance and she is afraid to like someone again. As she observe the other girls, she know that she is the key to get them together with the lads that they like. But how? The answer stay unknown.
Mean time, at the McFly house.
Tom:
Oh damn! I miss the call.
Danny:
Who called?
Tom:
Not sure.
Danny:
It might be her.
Tom:
Nah, she might be thinking I just wana make music together. I shouldn’t have said that.
Danny:
Well you don’t like her do you?
Tom:
I don’t know.
Danny:
You always say you wana have a celebrity girlfriend.
Tom:
I know but she’s different.
Danny:
You do like her then.
Tom:
Haha, you’ll never know.
Danny shook his head and laugh. He wondered why Tom tried to deny it. Tom always tell him everything. Somehow he is staring into space, Jan starts to slide in his mind. That bright smile he thought…
Danny:
Why am I thinking of her?(he thought) Haha. This is crazy. Everything is.
