Not Always How It Seems

Levi James. The next big thing. 17

[fck-rainie]

Well, help yourself. 

[lights-camera-levi]

I will.

[fck-rainie]

Cake, yum! Want a piece?

[lights-camera-levi]

Duh, it's cake.

[fck-rainie]

Hey, don’t do that. Don’t talk about it like it’s over before it even starts. It isn’t over before it starts, right?

[lights-camera-levi]

No, it isn't over. I hope that it's about to start.

[fck-rainie]

You should have said something sooner, you know…

[lights-camera-levi]

I know... And it's now one of my biggest regrets. But at least you know now.

[fck-rainie]

I…I’m not any of those things. It’s stupid, you were just…different. You aren’t like all the other guys here. I like that. I like you.

[lights-camera-levi]

You are all of those things, Des. And more.

[lights-camera-levi]

[fck-rainie]

Because they heard about my stupid little school girl crush and thought it would be funny? There is no way you liked me back then. 

[lights-camera-levi]

Of course I liked you. You were smart and beautiful and kind. You still are! Wait... What school girl crush?

[fck-rainie]

Did someone put you up to this? Because it’s not cool…

[lights-camera-levi]

Why would anyone put me up to this? I'm telling you the truth Destiny. I have liked you since Day 1 of freshman year.

[fck-rainie]

Yes….

[lights-camera-levi]

I... I had a crush on you and I was too shy and awkward to talk to you or ask you out... I still... I still have a crush on you.

[fck-rainie]

But I was always with her. You could have spoken to me. What truth?

[lights-camera-levi]

The truth of why I never talked to you.

[fck-rainie]

I was a shy geeky freshman too. And you talked to Kendall…

[lights-camera-levi]

Kendall and I were friends before high school. You... You want to know the truth, Des?

[fck-rainie]

You barely even talked to me…

[lights-camera-levi]

I was this shy, geeky freshman, Destiny. I didn't talk to anyone.

[fck-rainie]

My only friend was Kendall. I wasn’t exactly overflowing with popularity. No one noticed little dorky Destiny. 

[lights-camera-levi]

I noticed you...

[fck-rainie]

I owe everything to her. I was a nobody before she took me under her wing. She helped me out so much, Levi. And I can’t get anyone to understand that.

[lights-camera-levi]

You weren't a nobody, Des.

[fck-rainie]

She does. I wouldn’t even be on the squad if it wasn’t for her.

[lights-camera-levi]

Don't say that. You don't owe everything to Del. Don't sell yourself short.
