Tammy:
Joe!
Joe: (Leans down, hitting him in the face frantically.)
You're dead!
Tammy: STOP! (Grabs Joe's fist when he swings it back.)
Tim punches Joe in the ribs, making Joe back up a bit.
Joe: (Lunges toward Tim again.) Agh!
Tim dodges Joe's blows, and then hits him in the shoulder and the nose.)
Mr. Cole: (Runs up to the boys.)
Alright boys, break it up. I said, break it UP! (Wedges himself in between them.) Now, what happened here? (Beat.) Well?
Tammy: They were just working out some problems? (Slips behind Tim, weaving her hand into his.)
Mr. Cole: Fighting is never the answer! I would like to see both of you in detention for the rest of the week. (To the students crowding around them) Now, go home before your parents start calling the school to ask where you are. Go!
Joe huffs and walks away with Mark following behind him. Snickers erupt from the group around them, and whispers turn to laughter.
Mr. Cole:
I'll see you two tomorrow, Reynolds.
Tim: Yes sir. (Nods, and walks away, pulling his hand from Tammy's and leaving her behind.)
Tammy: (Follows Tim and tries to keep up with his pacing.) Are you okay?
Tim ignores Tammy and keeps walking away from her, picking up speed.
Tammy:
Tim? Hey! (Runs and stops right in front of him, making him suddenly stop.) I'm talking to you!
Tim:
Well look where that got me.
Tammy: What? No, Joe is just? stupid, and he gets so jealous so easily. You know that.
Tim: Well what do you want me to say, Tammy? That I'm glad you got what you want, just like you always do? That I'm glad I got detention? I'm glad I got a black eye? How about that I? I feel pathetic?
Tammy: No, I just-
Tim: Just what? You feel bad for the guy who's "just a friend?" You feel sorry that I got beaten up because of you?
Tammy:
Now just wait a minute-
Tim: I'm not going to wait another minute for you! Three years, and you just now want me here. Three years of seeing that arrogant face next to yours. Three years of heartbreak that he has given you each and every time you turned around. Those three years I was by your side, and you had no clue that I was there. For you. And now, look where that's gotten me. A black eye and a bloody nose. I'm done waiting for you. (Turns to walk away)
Tammy:
(Grabs his arm, making him spin around.)
Do you remember when you told me that I can go anywhere, and do anything I wanted and you'd be right there by me?
Tim: (Quietly)
Maybe?
Tammy: (Speaking softly.)
Well when you said that, I was so happy. (Smiles sadly.) You have no idea. I wanted you to be there with me, no matter what happened. And I know it sounds crazy, but over time I started to realize I couldn't see my life without you, Tim. (Starts speaking faster.) And I may not have noticed it at first, but when I started to trust you, I started to fall in? to fall, and-and that's why I haven't been talking to you much lately because I was afraid to tell you and I-
Tim: You only started trusting me this past year?
Tammy:
(Speaking fast.)
Well, fully, but I knew I could trust you with most things like-
Tim: But what about Joe? What would he say?
Tammy: Who cares? And he is never going to bother me again, no matter what because I have you, I mean, if you want to still be there by my side when I'm? whatever, and now I actually know what I feel, and I know it's so clich? to be saying this, and the best friend that actually liked the girl, (Speaking fast again) which, I'm not saying you did, because if you did, I would've thought you would have told me sooner but-
Tim takes her face in his hands, pulls her in and kisses her. Tammy tries to hide her smile.
Tim:
Now who said I didn't like you. (Smirking.)
Tammy: Um? You did? Like at the beginning of this year? And just now? Before?
Tim: I wasn't lying.
Tammy: (Smile fades) What?
Tim: I wasn't lying. (Smiles slightly.)
Tammy: But you?
Tim: What?
Tammy: You just? (Groans.) Great. Just great. The Amazing Tammy embarrasses herself once again. (Starts to walk off, tears welling up in her eyes.)
Tim: Wait.
Tammy: (Shakes her head and keeps walking.) I'm good. See you later.
Tim: Wait! (Runs in front of her.) Do you want to know why I don't like you?
Tammy: (Looking at the ground.) Not really, no.
Tim: Well, I'm going to tell you anyway.
Tammy: (Looks up at his eyes, and then back at the ground.)
Fine.
Tim: Tammy. (Lifts up her chin with his hand.)
Tammy: (Tries to avoid his eyes, and then, finally giving up, looks him in the eye.) What?
Tim: I don't like you because? (Smiles) because, Tammy? I love you.
Tammy: (Surprised.) What?
Tim: Yeah, I said it. (Lets go of her chin.) I love you. I always have, and I always will.
Tammy: But-but?
Tim: No buts. I do. Really.
Tammy smiles and hugs him tight.
Tim: (Returns the hug.) I really do.
Tammy: (Pulls away and wipes her eyes. She looks Tim straight in the eyes, smiling.)
Well, that's a big problem.
Tim: (Confused.)
Why?
Tammy: Because I don't like you either. (Smiles wide.) I love you too.
Tim smiles at her and kisses her again.
