Gigi and Olly and Three Long Hours (dialogue story)

the second hour

"Angelina Jolie. Fuck, Marry, Kill?"

"Marry."

"Really?"

"Hell yeah. I want to adopt a bunch of babies with that girl. How about Ariana Grande?"

"Fuck."

"G!"

"What? Her body is amazing."

"Not to mention those high notes she can hit. That's gotta be interesting in bed."

"You're horrible."

"Yeah."

"Hey..."

"Yeah?"

"Who did Eva Breck cheat on you with?"

"Uh..."

"I'm sorry, you don't have too answer."

"No, it's fine. Uh, he doesn't go here. Eva was on a hip hop dance team, I used to watch them sometimes, they'd perform at parties and competitions and stuff. And then one day, out of the blue, she tells me she's doing a guy from the team. She says 'it just happened'. So of course I assume shes talking about one of the sweaty, pimply dancers and I'm wondering why she would get with one of those losers. So I ask her. Then she tells me she's screwing the dance teacher. The 27 year old dance teacher. His name is Emanuel and he's got washboard abs. It's wrong, you know? It's gross. She didn't even tell me why. But, I'm over it."

"Wow. That really sucks."

"It's okay."

"No. It's not okay. There's no excuse for cheating. Im sorry."

"I'm over it."

"Okay."

"So are you going to tell me yet?"

"Tell you what?"

"Why you're joining me in detention today."

"I'm good."

"Gigi, I literally just poured my heart out to you. I've never told anyone about Eva before."

"Don't guilt trip me."

"My girlfriend cheating on me with a grown man. A grown man. He was so good looking I even thought about sleeping with him"

"Ollyyyy. I hate you. Fine."

"Fine."

"I take Chinese class and two days ago we were taking our final. Everyone was really nervous because, you know, it's the last test we'll ever take in Chinese, and one of the last tests we'll take before graduating. So, big deal. I had studied, I was ready, I go into take the test and Ms. Huang puts the paper in front of me and... I panic. I can't explain it. I didn't understand one word of the test. Not one word. It looked like fucking Swedish or something. I've always aced my tests and I had been taking Chinese for two years already, but I totally choked."

"Huh."

"So I started freaking out. I'm sweating, hyperventilating, almost in tears. Ms. Huang asks me if I'm doing okay. I ask her if I can go to the bathroom and she says yes, so I go and try to remember any words in Chinese, and I can't. I spend 10 minutes in the bathroom, then 15. I realize I have to go back to class but I don't know how. I just couldn't go back in there. And I didn't. I ran out to my car and drove home. I never took the test. Apparently, ditching school during a test is a big deal, because of the whole cheating thing. The principal gave me a huge lecture, and now I'm here. Best part is, every one in class knew that I couldn't handle the pressure of one little test. Humiliating."
