Chapter 5. :)
Jackson Rathbone.
Ashley Greene.
Simple dialogue and actions. Nothing special except cuteness&chemistry.
Jackson: Oh, you did get it right. I must've forgotten what I wrote.
Ashley: Geez, you can be so absent minded sometimes.
Jackson: Me? What about you?
Ashley: What about me?
Jackson: You- you- you...You forgot to get me a straw for my iced tea!
Ashley: So?! You're a pile of lazy bones. Go get it yourself.
Jackson: Fine! I will.
Ashley: Hmph.
[Jackson stalks away grumpily.]
Ashley: How rude... Forgetting a straw? That's absurd. Like I would know.
[She sighs heavily, taking out another piece of paper from her pocket. She reads it out loud quietly to herself.]
Ashley: 'Ash - meet me at my trailer after work. I need to show you something.' How obvious can you get, Jackson? Unfortunately...
Kristen: We're back.
[Kristen and Rob return with their lunches and sit down.]
Ashley: Hey. Do you know where Jackson went? He was getting a straw but it's been like 3 minutes.
Rob: I think he said he was going to look for Welch.
Ashley: What? Why?
Kristen: Probably pissed he was talking to you before.
Ashley: Oh. I'm going to go find him, then. Don't want them beating each other up.
Kristen: Do you think they will? If so, can I bet on Jackson?
Ashley: Kristen!
Kristen: Kidding, kidding. But Jackson would win against Welch...
Ashley: Alright, I'll see you guys later.
[She gets up and takes her plate with her. Kristen and Rob look at her funny.]
Ashley: I'm hungry, okay?
[Off she walks and out of the cafeteria.]
Kristen: They invited us to eat with them and then ultimately leave us within minutes...
[Rob chuckles at this and starts eating.]
-With Jackson-
Jackson: Tell me, Welch! What did you do with the note?!
Mike: WHAT NOTE?!
Jackson: Don't play games with me! I gave Ashley a note and when I got back, it was changed. It wasn't mine or Ashley's handwriting and you were the only other one there. So tell me. Why?
Mike: I'll tell you if you put me down!
[Jackson had Mike by the collar against a mossy tree. He lets go of him and paces back and forth angrily.]
Mike: Alright, here's the story: Ashley was reading this note at the lunch table. Thinking it was a cast notice, I was curious and came over. I read it over her shoulder before she could hide it from me. Once she realized I was there, she blushed like crazy and asked what I was doing. I told her I thought it was a notice for the cast or whatever and that I hadn't gotten one yet. But I was mistaken and it was note from a guy. I didn't know who from but now I know it was you. She was quiet for a few moments but asked me for a favor. She asked me to write another note saying what I ate for lunch. She promised to get me a new parka. I accepted because, you know, it's hella cold up here. I didn't think it was a big deal so I wrote it for her. A few moments later, you guys showed up.
Jackson: Why should I believe your story?
Mike: Well can you think of any other motives I would have? I mean, why else would Ashley go along with the whole thing?
Jackson: But you don't know why she did it in the first place, do you?
Mike: Not a clue.
Jackson: You're a good man, Welch. But keep off Ashley.
Mike: Will do...
[Jackson hears something and turns around to see what it is. When he looks back at Mike, he's already gone running.]
Ashley: Hey, Jackson. What are you doing in the words like this?
[He looks and sees Ashley with a plate of food in her hand. She has a confused look on her face and looks over his shoulder to see Mike still running away.]
Ashley: I see you were talking to Mike.
Jackson: Uh, yeah. I was just having a friendly conversation with him.
Ashley: Uh huh... What were you guys talking about?
Jackson: Just guy stuff. Hey, I'll see you later. I need to go talk to my manager.
Ashley: Okay. If you say so.
[Jackson walks away, sorting through the whole situation and what to feel about it. Ashley stands there, glumly, and walks back to her trailer, ashamed of what she did.]
