Mutual Agreement

(Two boys playing a video game)

Josh: So…I was wondering if it was alright that I was talking to Katie?

Patrick: Cool

Josh: I mean it’s really nothing serious…you know… just an innocent conversation

Patrick: Cool

(Josh puts down play station stick)

Josh: I mean she is a nice girl…funny, smart, charming, beautiful…

Patrick: Yeah…and?

Josh: And you know…we have been talking for a while…and we are thinking of meeting up sometime.

Patrick: Cool…where are we going?

Josh: (hesitating) Well…you see…we were thinking…well she was thinking…that she and I would meet up…like on a date or something…just the two o9f us…without you.

Patrick: Dude …are you trying to hook up with Kate?

Josh: (hesitating) No…of course not…just meet …you know rendezvous sometime…face-to-face…that’s all…nothing serious.

Patrick: Dude(Puts down play station stick and turns head to Josh)…you are so trying to hook up with Katie…my Katie…dude…that’s the love of my life.

Josh::Whoa…I really didn’t think you had taken a 6th grade crush that serious.

Patrick: Yo dude…we had a special connection…a connection that no one can ever understand…a connection like no other… nothing you have ever had…a deep connection.

Josh: no wonder she is asking me out on a date…that’s pretty…deep.

(Phone rings. Text message from Katie to Josh)

Patrick: who is that? Is that Katie? What is she saying?

Josh: Nothing…nothing serious.

Patrick: Nothing huh?

Josh: Yeah…nothing.

Patrick: Liar! (Grabs Josh by the collar) …you see Josh that’s how it starts… That’s how it all starts…first its texting then dating and before I know it you’ll be getting married and having little babies with my Katie!

Josh: Whoa … Patrick take it easy. You are overreacting.

Patrick: (pulls away from Josh) Over reacting Josh? Oh and you don’t think your behavior is appalling. Flirting with an ex-crush of mine…oh how devious!

(Knock at the door. Michelle walks in and the boys are still staring fiercely at each other)

Michelle: Hi guys…Josh can please use the (Josh hands her the car keys… Thanks…Hey Patrick

(Patrick turns to look at her. He smiles)

Patrick: hey…

Michelle: long time…haven’t seen you around lately.

Patrick well I guess I should be coming around more often huh?

Michelle: I guess so.

(She walks out)

Josh: Excuse me! I cannot believe that you have the audacity to flirt with my sister right in front of me!

Patrick: Dude relax… she is cute…very attractive I must say.

Josh: You will not look at her or talk to her like that. I will not have it.

Patrick: Fine, then you can’t talk for meet up with Katie.

Josh: Fine then!

Patrick: Fine!

(Both boys sit down angrily)

Patrick: so …you still want to play?

Josh: heck yeah!
