MIKE: What're you drawing?

CASSIE: Don't you have a history test to study for?

MIKE: When are you gonna design me a tattoo?

CASSIE: A tattoo? Oh, right. I could imagine that.

MIKE: Come on. Design something. I mean, maybe we could get matching tattoos. How 'bout like a snake with fire coming out of its mouth.

CASSIE: Hmm. Or a sexy hula girl who wiggles when you flex?

MIKE: Yeah, now you're talking. Sexy hula girl. But a sexy snake hula girl.

CASSIE: You are so ridiculous.

MIKE: So, I was thinking... maybe we should go to that dance after all.

CASSIE: What do you mean "after all." I told you I don't wanna go.

MIKE: Well, I assumed you were kidding.

CASSIE: It would probably be lame anyways.

MIKE: Well, yeah, but lame is funny? and, you know, maybe fun if, you know, we're hanging out together.

CASSIE: We hang out together all the time.

MIKE: Right. And therefore we should hang out together at the winter formal.

DAWN: (to Cassie) Hey. Um, I'm in ceramics class with you. I'm Dawn Summers. I forgot if we had an assignment last week. I spaced.

CASSIE: Right. Um. Hey, Dawn. Uh, yeah, you know we did have an assignment, but I didn't write it down. I think something to do with glazes...

MIKE: As scintillating as the pottery talk is, I'd better actually go study. (to Dawn) I'm Mike, by the way.

DAWN: Hi, Mike. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to?

MIKE/MIKE: Oh, don't worry about it. I better go hit the books if I'm gonna ace this test. Nice meeting you, though. Cass, I'll see you later?

CASSIE: Yep. Hey, Mike, you're gonna get a "B".

MIKE: Oh, "A+" baby, "A+".

DAWN: (re Cassie's Sluaghterhouse Five) So, um, is that any good?

CASSIE: Yeah. Actually, yeah.

DAWN: What do you have to read it for?

CASSIE: Oh, just for me, I guess. I kinda stopped reading my homework assignments. I just... read what I want.

DAWN: That's so cool. I'd do that, but my sister'd be down my neck in a second.

CASSIE: Summers... hey? are you the counselor's little sister?

DAWN: No. She's my sister. Lucky me, huh?

CASSIE: No, no, she's-she's really nice. I actually just saw her this morning.

DAWN: Oh, really? What about? (beat) Uh, I'm sorry, that's none of my business.

CASSIE: No, I don't care.

DAWN: So, Mike's a cutie. Are you guys going to that dance?

CASSIE: No, I don't think so.

DAWN: Oh. I mean, didn't he ask you?

CASSIE: Uh, like 105 times.

DAWN: And you said no?

CASSIE: 106 times. No, I-I can't go. I'm not gonna be around that night.
