Andrew : Why? you've got something on?
Emily : I have to work and then I have photography class.

Andrew : You can ask for day off, right?

Emily : I can't. It's like.. I just started my job and I can't take my day off so quick.

Andrew : So, how?

Emily : Why don't you just, go off first and visit your family? I can handle myself here.

Andrew : No. I just can't leave you alone here. What if bad things happen to you?

Emily : It's alright, I'm fine here alone. I can take a good care of myself. Don't worry. I'll be okay.

Andrew : Baby, you shouldn't think that way. You're not worried and what about me? safety comes first, Em.

Emily : I seriously have no idea about this. Maybe we should talk about this later on.

The bell rings and the lessons starting soon.

When she reaches her work place..

Emily : (rush to her locker and wears her black apron and tie up her hair, neatly)

Boss : Emily?
Emily : Yes, sir?
Boss : Why are you late today?
Emily : I'm sorry, sir. I was late because of the traffic jam.

Boss : Well, no more excuses again from today onwards. I will cut down your salary a few for this week, if you're late again. Get me?
Emily : (exhale) Alright, sir.

Boss : Now, what are you waiting for? start doing your work now. Chop chop! (snap fingers)

Lizzie : Hey. You're late again today?
Emily : Yeah, the traffic is getting on my nerves and the bus driver drives superb slow!

Lizzie : (wiping plates) You should wake up earlier to get to work early next time.

Emily : I know, it was my bad. This is just my first time coming late for work!
Lizzie : Chill aite. It's just your first time and won't do it again next time.

Emily : (helping out to wipe plates) Hmmph, alrighty, then.

Lizzie : Now, carry this plates and place it into the wooden shelf over there. (points)
Emily : Okay.

Lizzie : And wash up the plates.

Emily : (nodding)

10.45pm later...

Emily : Phew. (wipes her sweat) What a day.

Lizzie : My god, the most tiring day ever! (took out her apron)
Emily : Now, I am so gonna change this leather shoe. It's killing me.

Lizzie : Your toe hurts right?
Emily : Pfft, exactly! it hurts. (tooks off her shoe) Oww.

Lizzie : (untie and comb her hair)
Emily : (took off her socks and pressing her toes) God, there's a blister in between of my toes!
Lizzie : If I be you, it's normal for me. (drinks water)
Emily : This is the worst nightmare I've ever been. (shooks her head)
Lizzie : (giggles) Apply plaster on the blister, then.

Emily : I am. (takes out plaster and apply on her blister)

Lizzie : I'm tired. Let's go.

Emily : Wait. Chill. Can't you see what I'm doing here?

Lizzie : Make it quick.

A black short hair girl comes in and took off her apron and stares at Emily angrily and leaves the place.

Emily : (whisper) Who's that girl? (points)
Lizzie : The one who just walk off?
Emily : Who else if it's not you and me? (roll eyes)
Lizzie : Oh. That's Amanda.

Emily : Why does she staring at me angrily like that?

Lizzie : She's like that. I used to be her enemy last time but now, we don't talk.

Emily : Why?
Lizzie : Long story. I'm lazy to talk about it.

Emily : Ermm.. (raise eye brows) If you don't mind telling about it to me.

Lizzie : Hmmph. Here's the story. She hates it whenever there's a new kid working here.

Emily : And.. why is that? we did nothing wrong, anyway.

Lizzie : Hah. I don't know. She's seems.. to have.. attitude problems, somehow. (nodding)
Emily : Really? I can see that from her face.

Lizzie : But be careful. She's somehow loves to bully new workers here. You can get trick by her easily.

Emily : I'm not that stupid enough to listen everything what she said. (shooks head)
Lizzie : I know, but think again. She can trick you, anytime. I'm just advising you.

Emily : Hmm.. alright, then. Let's go. It's getting late now.

Lizzie : Okay.

Later, at night. Emily went online in MSN and Myspace.

Emily Dawson : Bye.

Mr Bisante went offline.

Emily : (talks to herself) When am I gonna meet him again? (looks out her window and look at the dark blue sky and shut her eyes tightly)

Saturday morning later ..

Emily : (waiting for Andrew at the airport entrance, looks at the time)

Curtis : (covers Em's eyes) Make a guess who am I.

Emily : Andrew?
Curtis : NO. Your guess is wrong! Think again.

Emily : (giggles) Stop fooling around, silly!

Curtis : (let go off his hands) Hey, it's me. Curtis. You forget me?

Emily : OMG! CURTIS!? (hugs Curtis tightly)

Curtis : Hah, yeah. (nodding) Are you waiting for Andrew?
Emily : Well, yup. Who else. (wink)
Curtis : Haha. Really? me too. I'm waiting for him here.

Emily : Wow, what a coincidence! haha, let's wait here, then. (smiles)
Curtis : (chuckles) Okay.

Later ..

Curtis : Dude, I thought you're living in Canada for 2 weeks?
Andrew : Nah, I can't leave my girlfriend alone here in US. (looks at Em and smile)

Emily : (smile)

Curtis : Your mum let you go back in US?
Andrew : Yeah. (nodding)
Curtis : Why not calling her to tag with you along?
Emily : Uhmm.. I'm working, photography class. Don't have that time to follow him back to Canada.

Curtis : Ah, I see. (nodding)
Andrew : (smile)

After a week later ..

Andrew calls Em.

Emily : Hello?
Andrew : Hey, dear. Wanna go out?

Emily : Ermm.. now? I'm sorry. I can't.

Andrew : You're working today?
Emily : I don't but I have photography class at 2pm till 3pm.

Andrew : Aww. But that's okay, I can pick you up.

Emily : That's okay. I'll be going to work after that. I'm so so sorry, dear.

Andrew : (exhale) Well, then. Maybe next time..

Emily : Hey.

Andrew : Yeah?
Emily : I'm sorry, okay.

Andrew : Hmm.. that's okay. There's always be next time. (smiles)
Emily : Alright, I got to go. Talk to you next time. Bye.

Andrew : Goodbye. (hung up the phone)

Emily is packing her hand bag. Putting in her iPod, Mobile Phone and spectacles into her bag quickly.

10.45pm later, Em receive a text message from Andrew.

Andrew : Hey, dear. Call me once after you read this message. Thanks! :) xoxo.

Emily : (calls Andrew)
Andrew : Hello?
Emily : Hey, dear. Wassup?

Emily : I'm outside. On my way home. You?

Andrew : Resting at home. You want me to pick you up?
Emily : Sure, sure. Why not. (smiles)
Andrew : Alright. I'll be there in 10 minutes, aite. See ya.

Emily : Bye. (hungs up the phone)

In the car later..

Andrew : How was your job today?
Emily : Gosh, pretty tiring. (exhale) it's like, one of the worker is unhappy with me.

Andrew : And, why is that?
Emily : I don't know. The workers over there told me that she's got this attitude problem.
Andrew : (giggles) that's all?
Emily : Yup.

Andrew : That's nonsense.

Emily : Precisely. I'm not bothering her, anyway.

Andrew : That's good. Think positive. Hee.

Emily : (lean her head on the head seat)

Suddenly, Em saw Andrew's phone receive a text message.

Emily : (took his phone and look through the message) Dear, who is this? (shows his phone)
Andrew : Uhmm.. my old high school friend?
Emily : Don't lie to me.

Andrew : What? she's just a friend of mine.

Emily : A friend. Of. Yours? funny isn't it? (angry expression)
Andrew : Oh, come on. She's just my old-long-lost-friend. (look at Em)
Emily : Oh, really? then, why she text message you like this? (shows the message)

Andrew : Uhmm..

Emily : Who the hell is Amanda?

Andrew : I told you it's my old high school friend.

Emily : Stop lying! she's talking to you as if she's your girlfriend.

Andrew : I'm trying to ignore her message. She used to be my girlfriend.

Emily : Please, stop lying and I know you're hiding away something from me.

Andrew : No, I didn't.

Emily : (exhale) C'mon, Andrew. Don't tell me you're playing and making fun of me. I'm serious.

Andrew : And you think I'm not serious? well, of course I am!

Emily : Was it so difficult for you to tell the whole truth to me?!

Andrew : Alright, fine. She's my ex-girlfriend, okay. Happy now?
Emily : Happy? does my face look like one? well, I don't, okay! you lied to me! (points her finger towards Andrew's chest)
Andrew : I'm sorry. I just don't want to make you upset about this. Let's just forget about it.

Emily : Forget about it? excuse me, you lied to me and yet you said your old high school friend?

Andrew : It's a true fact! she's my old high school friend!
Emily : And what's up with the LONG LOST old high school friend, then? if it's long lost, then why the both of you guys still contact with each other? weird, don't you think! common sense comes first.

Andrew : Alright, I admit! she's my ex-girlfriend. Get it? and yes, she's my old high school friend but not my long lost friend. (exhale) why just you can't understand my situation?
Emily : That's because you didn't tell me and I don't know a single thing. And.. the way she texts you like you're together, attached.

Andrew : I'm sorry, alright. I shouldn't do this to you.

Emily : Whatever.
