Francis P. Jones School of Performing Arts

Jade: I sat down and listened to them talking.

Jake- "Someone needs to do something about her. Get her to leave or something."

Jade: Maybe I could help with that.

Jake- "I can't ask my sister to do anything because they're best friends and she would say something which would causemore drama. So, who am I supposed to go to for help?"

Jade: "Uh, excuse me, Jade here. Maybe you didn't hear me; I said I could help."

((Oh. sorry i didn't see quotations around it.))

Jake- I look at her. "Well I'm sorry that I didn't hear you. Where did you come from anyways?" I'm not trying to be rude I'm just not in a good mood at the moment.

Jade: "I'm a sophomore. I transferred from New York City."

Jake- "And what would you do to her? She's tough to crack. She grew up with four brothers without a mother and was taught to fight when she was little. The only thing that really makes her hurt is rejection and even then she keeps trying to get you to like her."

Jade: "It might take awhile, sure - but I can do it. From what I've heard, her flaw is depending on other people. Maybe her parents or family haven't been there for her, but that only makes her depend on friends all the more."

Jade: "What I'm saying is this: If her friends are that important to her, why not break her from the inside?"

Jake- I look up at her. "That might just work. We'll need a lot of people in on this, though, to make it really work."

Jade: "How? She knows all of you have turned against her; I'm fresh meat. She'll have no idea what's coming if it's just me, but with all of us ... we loose the element of surprise."

Jake- "Well... We'll need at least one more person. The more people that hurt her, the more people she'll want to meet and become dependent of."

Jade: "I was thinking more splitting our efforts. Once I get close enough, I can tell you what will hit hardest. You will then use that information..." I paused for effect. "However you see fit."

Jake- "That... Is a pretty good idea."

Jade: "I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise. We need specifics - any ideas?"

Jake- "She is very dependent on my sister. She doesn't do anything without calling or texting her for approval first and they talk about everything. And I mean everything. She'll probably do the same thing with you if you get close enough to her."

Jade: "Excellent." I smiled. "This-" I knocked on the wooden bench, "- might just work. What should we go after first?"

Jake- "Well we already know she's very dependent but she doesn't trust easily. She kinda tests you to she if she can trust you. It changes every time so I can't help you there. As soon as she's sure that she can trust you, though, she'll tell you anything you want to know. She's afraid to keep secrets because she thinks that you'll stop liking her if she doesn't tell you whatever you want to know."

Jade: "This is going to be easy! You know, my mom wanted me to major in acting instead of vocals. Wait! Does this school have a tabloid?"

Jake- "Yeah. Why do you ask?"

Jade: "It'll make the whole process much easier. Are any of you friends with one of the reporters?"

Dakota: I yawned. "You guys are boring."

Fiona: I shoved her shoulder lightly. "Shut up and let them talk, Koty."

Jade: "Well? Are you?"

Fiona: "He probably is. He knows a lot of people."
