Caught You

This one might be a little bit short. But here Ej actually catches Gina's slip up in 2.08. Honestly still can't believe he missed it.

Knock Knock Knock

Gina: It's open Ash!

Knock Knock Knock

Gina puts down her knitting needles and gets up to answer the door. When she opened it she saw the one and only Ej and a smile immediately grew on her face.

Gina: Ej!

Ej: Hey G! Hope I'm not interrupting anything *he smiles*.

Gina: No you're not, I'm only knitting and the strings keep getting tangled so if you're down for it some help would be nice *she laughs*.

Ej: Anything for you.

Gina: What?

Ej: Um nothing, uh is my cousin around?

Gina: No she um went out to buy some shirt...yeah I didn't really pay attention. I was in my own knitting world *she sits down on the couch*.

Ej: *follows her and sits down* here let me grab that *he picks up the yarn*.

Gina: So congrats on getting into Duke, how do you feel because I got some really mixed vibes while watching you today during class?

Ej: Well that's because I didn't really get in.

Gina: So what was your dad talking abut then?

Ej: I mean I got in but only because he made it happen.

Gina: And by made it happen you mean...he paid your way into Duke?

Ej: Exactly, even though all I ever wanted was to get into Duke, I didn't want to get in like this. I don't want the say this the wrong way...I'm grateful for the privilege but...

Gina: You didn't earn it.

Ej: Right. My life has been mapped out for me for as long as I can remember, I've never been given a choice when it comes to my life ya know?

Gina: Not really, I'm always one natural disaster away from landing in a new place. I can only relate to the last half of what you said.

Ej: What is that life like for you?

Gina: Sometimes stressful, sometimes freeing. I don't really have control over the future so I just forge ahead wherever I land. So I get the feeling of having no choice when it comes to your life. Just to different extents.

Ej: Well you always seem to know what you want.

Gina: So what do you want Ej?

Ej: I don't know...

Gina: Close your eyes. Mm hm... So Ej, when you think about your life, what do you see?

Ej: I see a guy who cheated at waterpolo, someone who tried to bribe Ms. Jenn into giving him the part of Troy, someone who invaded Nini's privacy...albeit I had some help from my Wonderstudy *he laughs*. Someone who doesn't know himself very well...

Gina:...my turn.

Ej: Can't wait...

Gina: When I think of you...I see a guy who bought me a plane ticket back to East High so I could be apart of the show. A guy who's birthday video for Carlos made everybody cry. I see someone who tries really hard to do the right thing...and fails a lot. But he keeps on trying *she smiles*.
