Chapter 1

Picture

Demi: [looks at Taylor L]

Taylor L: [sits beside Demi, he talks to Taylor S, who is right beside him]

Joe: [sitting behind Taylor L, looking at Demi]

Demi: [sighs, she looks down at her paper]

Taylor L: [to TayS] So, you want to be my partner for this project?

Tay: Sure. [smiles]

Demi: [frowns]

Joe: [has the nerve to poke Demi's shoulder]

Demi: [turns her head]

Joe: Do you.. uhmm.. want to be my partner?

Demi: [nods, knowing there was no other choice] Sure. 

Joe: [smiles silently]

Teacher: Okay, class. Please get together with your partner now.

Demi: [looks at Joe] Should I sit beside you?

Joe: [shakes his head] No, its okay. I'll move beside you. [gets up and moves to the empty seat beside Demi] 

Demi: [half smiles]

Teacher: Please choose wisely on what your category is.

Demi: [looks at Joe] So..

Joe: What do you want the category to be?

Demi: [shrugs, she slowly looks to her right, looking at both Taylor's laughing with each other]

Joe: Demi? [looks at where she's looking, he sighs]

Demi: Mhmm? [still looking at Tay's]

Joe: Can we concentrate for a moment?

Demi: [looks at Joe] Oh, sorry.

Joe: [smiles] It's alright.

Demi: So, have you decided the category?

Joe: Not yet. That's why, I was asking your opinion.

Demi: Oh... What do you suggest we do?

Joe: Well... I was thinking that... We could do a story of a teenager...

Demi: Yeah... Go on..

Joe: A teenager that likes somebody...

Demi: [remembers TayL] Y-Yeah..

Joe: But that somebody doesn't even know that teenager exists.

Demi: [looks at Taylor again]

Joe: Uhmm.. Is that okay?

Demi: [looks at Joe] I... I think so...

Joe: [half smiles]

Demi: [looks at Taylor]

Joe: Look...

Demi: [looks at Joe]

Joe: If you don't want to do this, it's fine. You don't have to force yourself.

Demi: No, I think it's a great idea.

Joe: Really?

Demi: [smiles] Really.

Joe: Great. So, we'll go with this idea?

Demi: Mhmm.

Joe: Can I ask you to do something for me, Dem?

Demi: You mean, a favor?

Joe: [nods]

Demi: Sure.

Joe: Can you... Concentrate on our project...

Demi: Yeah, no worries.

Joe: Instead of looking at those two [referring to Taylors] all the time?

Demi: [nods, blushing] Sorry. 

Joe: [smiles] Don't be. I'm not forbidding you to look, it's just, don't look very often. Okay?

Demi: [nods again] I'll try not to. [smiles]

Joe: [smiles, feeling warmth inside] Great.

Selena: [laughs]

Liam: What? You thought my kissing was bad?

Miley: Did you brush your teeth earlier?

Liam: Yeah?

Demi: [chuckles]

Liam: But then... I ate all kinds of things.

Miley: And that is why I thought your kissing was bad.

Demi: [bursts out laughing]

Liam: [crosses his arms] Not funny. I was hungry!

Selena: No wonder you don't have a girl at this time.

Miley: [chuckles, looking at Selena]

Liam: [looks at Selena] I've got my eyes on someone. [looks at Miley quickly, himself being behind Miley, then looks at Selena]

Selena: [nods]

Demi: Owh.

Miley: [turns around at looks at Liam] Who?

Liam: [smiles] It's a secret.

Selena: [sits on their couch]

With Jemi.

Demi: [sitting on his bed] So... Your plan was to make a video of me?

Joe: No... You're just an example.

Demi: So you do know that I like somebody.

Joe: Well, yeah. [upset inside] I know somebody else too...

Demi: Who?

Joe: [mumbles] Me.

Demi: What?

Joe: Nothing.

Demi: Why can't we use that 'somebody' you know?

Joe: Because, that 'somebody' is busy.

Demi: Why can't we use you?

Joe: Me?

Demi: Yeah.

Joe: I'm not in that situation.

Demi: Yes you are. I know who you like.

Joe: [starts to worry] .....W-Who?

Demi: Selena.

Joe: [relaxes] I don't like her.

Demi: [frowns] You don't?

Joe: [shakes his head]

Demi: [sighs] Poor Selly.

Joe: Huh?

Demi: She li-- [shakes her head] Nevermind.

Joe: [nods]





Chapter 6


Demi: So, you do it.

Joe: No. I have already decided.

Demi: You're not the boss.

Joe: I never said I was. Plus, I don't think you would think of a decision.

Demi: Any why is that?

Joe: You keep looking at Taylor every 5 seconds.

Demi: No.

Joe: Yes, you do. I keep watching you.

Demi: So, are you like a stalker now?

Joe: No, but I'm always behind Taylor. How can I not SEE you?

Demi: [gives up and sighs]

Joe: Why can't you NOT focus on Taylor for like, a day?

Demi: What are you saying?

Joe: Don't you know, that, maybe, somebody out there in the real world, actually, cares about you?

Demi: Huh?

Joe: Nevermind.

Demi: No, tell me.

Joe: You won't care.

Demi: I care. Now, tell.

Joe: Don't you ever focus about the people around you?

Demi: You mean...

Joe: Exactly.

Demi: ...You?

Joe: Not only me. Everybody.

Demi: Joe...

Joe: What?

Demi: There's nobody else in this room except for you and me.

Joe: [groans] I meant your friends. Your family. Everybody.

Demi: What do you mean by I don't focus?

Joe: They all care about you.

Demi: And how would you know that?

Joe: I just do.

Demi: You don't even have proof.

Joe: I know somebody who truly cares about you. In every single way.

Demi: And who would that be?

Joe: I can't tell you.

Demi: [groans] Why?

Joe: It's for me not to tell and for you to find out.

Demi: [stands up] Enough of the games.

Joe: I don't think this is one.

Demi: Just tell me who!

Joe: Find it our by yourself.

Demi: How can I, when nobody gives a damn clue?!

Joe: Shh!

Demi: What?! Now I can't shout?!

Joe: Frankie's sleeping.

Demi: Concentrate on this now! Stop making excuses! 

Joe: I'm not.

Demi: You keep telling me that somebody out there [points to the window] truly cares about me. How the fuck can I find out if nobody gives a fucking clu--

Joe: [stands and shuts her up by attacking her lips]





Chapter 7


Demi: [has her eyes wide open, she pushes Joe away] What the fuck?!

Joe: Shh!

Demi: [whispers-shout] Why the fuck did you do that?

Joe: To shut you up.

Demi: And kissing me was your only method?!

Joe: [shrugs]

Demi: Oh my god. [sits down and has her hands on her face]

Joe: What? It's no big deal.

Demi: [looks at Joe] How can you say that?

Joe: I care about you, okay?

Demi: What?

Joe: I CARE about YOU.

Demi: You can't.

Joe: Well, I do.

Demi: Why do you care about me?

Joe: Why do you care about Taylor?

Demi: Because!

Joe: It doesn't look like he cares about you.

Demi: [looks down] Don't say that.

Joe: I'm speaking the truth. 

Demi: [sighs]

Joe: The truth hurts. I know.

Demi: [fiddles with her thumb]

Joe: I like you.

Demi: [looks at Joe] What?

Joe: Me, Joe Jonas, likes you, Demi Lovato.

Demi: No! [sees Selena in the doorway] Selena...

Selena: [with tears in her eyes] How can you do this to me, Dems?

Joe: [looks at Selena] Whoaa. What's going on here?

Demi: Selena, I can explain! 

Selena: [shakes her head] No need. I think it'd be best if our friendship ended right here.

Demi: [lets tears out] No, please.

Selena: Bye, Demi. [leaves]

Demi: [falls down to the ground] Selena. [curls up into a ball and starts crying]

Joe: [kneels down next to her and rubs her back] Shh.

Demi: [stands up and points at Joe] You!

Joe: What me?!

Demi: See what you did?! This is YOUR fault!

Joe: How can this thing be MY fault?! Here I am, confessing my feelings to the one girl I love!

Demi: Don't you dare say that again! [tears flowing down her cheeks]

Joe: You're blaming me now?

Demi: Because of your "confession" , I just lost a best friend. Thanks a lot. You can do the project alone. [starts walking]

Joe: [grabs her arm] You can't do this, Dem! I need you!

Demi: [pushes his hand away] Same goes for me to Selena. [leaves]

Joe: [groans, he punches his mirror, making his hand bleed]
