Scene 10: Everybody knows…
My former roommate from the shelter has everything under control in the office. We are working very well together – although he sometimes reminds me of that incident in the schoolyard, but I know that he always has my back. Everything goes as it should – orders are growing, customers are satisfied. The company starts to earn first real gains.
In the last time the whole school is talking only about the coming mega-party in the house with the swimming pool. Our hero has heard that Nicky is going to go too – he heard like she has been talking about it in the school.
So, he decided to go too, but doesn’t want to go alone, so he needs to convince his partner to go with him first.
Hero
Hey, Pit, have you heard about the party?
Pit
You mean the Mega-Party?
Hero
Yes, the Mega-Party. You must have heard about it – everybody talks about it!
Pit
Well, it depends!
Hero
How is it? It’s not a Schrodinger-Party – you either heard about it or not!
Pit
It depends on what are you going to propose. If you want me to go with you – I’ve never heard of it and don’t want to!
Hero
But why? There is gonna be much fun – we can… do stuff there, you know!
Pit
Look, let’s make a deal – you tell me the real reason why you really want to go to the party and I’m in!
Hero
Well, finally I’m not the poorest guy in the world and this is kind of party I’ve been skipping all my life because I would feel myself out of place… Besides, it is a good opportunity to make new friends. Furthermore, we are kind of rich now, I mean we make decent money right? – Such events are included in the list of mandatory tasks for all the rich…
Pit
Ha, that sounds like truth, but unfortunately it’s not. Ok, I’ll help you – you want to go because of – drum roll – because of her.
Hero
Because of whom? No idea!
Pit
Common, because of the Nicky! And please make me a favorite – don’t deny it – save us some time!
Hero
Firstly, I hate when you say so, and secondly how did you know?
Pit
The same how every body knows!
Hero
What you mean by every body?
Pit
Well, maybe except of a couple of students, but yes, it’s sort of common knowledge in the school.
Hero
Wait, if you knew why didn’t you tell me?
Pit
There is a way better question – why don’t you tell her?
Hero
That’s not that easy!
Pit
I get it, but what if she feels the same? You both would be just 2 idiots who could already be together, but you both are waiting for, for a magic moment – that’s funny, isn’t it?
Hero
Well, on the one hand, yes, but what if she doesn’t feel the same? Imagine what I’ll look like then. Wait a minute, wouldn’t every body already know who does she love?
(he looked at Pit with a little hope in the eyes and added)
Pit
Oh, no, that doesn’t work as good as with boys. Women are much more complicated. There is only one way to find it out – to tell her.
Hero
I’m going to. Some day I’ll tell her, definitely! I just want to earn enough money so that I could make her nice presents – like the rich guys.
Pit
What if she is not that kind a girl – what if she doesn’t chase the money?
Hero
Maybe not, but she is hanging around with this popular rich guys all the time… Maybe it’s more important for me.
After these words both kept silence for a little while.
Pit
Alright, let’s go to the mega-party. I want to look what this “mega” means.
Pit
Alright, let’s go to the mega-party. I want to look what this “mega” means.
Hero
Great, thank you! Mega-party here we go!
