Chapter 1
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.

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.

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]
