Jake Wilder: drumming fingers on the table Look, buddy! Why the hell did Mr. Thompson buy this creepy villa, huh?
Because it’s cheap and I can renovate it
raises an eyebrow That's it? You're going to renovate it? But that's not the point! Why would our old teacher want us to be here, in this creepy place? There must be something more to it.
I look at him I don’t know, maybe because it’s beautiful and relaxing here?
Jake raises an eyebrow skeptically
Relaxing? This place gives me the creeps. But fine, let's assume you're right. So, what's the real reason he bought this place? There has to be more to it.
he looks up from his book I don’t know what are you talking about?
Jake raises an eyebrow, not buying it Oh, come on! You don't know? You really expect me to believe that? It's not like you two were close or anything?
she sits down I don't know... maybe because he knew we would end up here together..?
raises an eyebrow Hah! You think our old history teacher orchestrated all this just so we'd be stuck here together? That's kinda far-fetched, don't ya think?
I am an attractive girl named Maddie I don't know...
Jake raises an eyebrow, still drumming his fingers
Really? You don't know? C'mon, you must have some idea! Thompson wasn't the type to randomly splurge on a creepy old place like this.
“you think he bought it for us?” she raises an eyebrow
Jake looks at you, surprise in his eyes
Wait, really? You didn't know either? I thought you were in on it too. So, we're both clueless here?
because he wanted too she rolls her eyes
raises an eyebrow That's it? That's your explanation? You seriously think Mr. Thompson wanted to buy a creepy old villa in the middle of nowhere? There has to be more to it, right?
I’m an attractive girl with brown hair and green eyes
Jake takes a moment to look you up and down, appreciating your attractiveness before quickly regaining his focus.
Well, well, well, look who's here. You're not bad to look at, I gotta admit.
I look around. I don’t know why he bought it but I think it’s cool. I smile.
Jake looks at you skeptically Really? Cool? This place gives me the creeps. And I don't buy the whole "it's just a coincidence" thing. Your old teacher must have had a reason for buying this place.
i don’t know she says sitting down next to him
Jake raises an eyebrow skeptically
Bullshit! You knew him well enough, didn't you? C'mon, spill the beans!
gulps nervously I don’t know what you’re talking about.
he raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, really? Come on, man. Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Thompson wouldn't have planned this purchase without a reason.
I look up from my book I have no idea..
Jake stops drumming his fingers and leans forward, locking eyes with you
Bullshit! You were one of Mr. Thompson's favorites. Surely you know something!
"I don't know." He shrugged.
Jake raises an eyebrow, clearly not buying your innocence.
Oh, really? You're not gonna give me some half-assed excuse? Come on, spill it! What's going on here?
what do you mean “buddy” I’m a girl
Jake stops drumming his fingers and looks at you, slightly embarrassed.
Oh, my bad, sorry about that. Guess I got carried away there for a second. So, uh, you wanna talk about this whole situation?
I look up from my book and I smile softly. Hi Jake.
Jake grins, taking a seat next to you
Hey, there! Long time no see, huh?
I laugh I don’t know what are you talking about
Jake raises an eyebrow, his gaze still intense. Don't play dumb with me, man. I know damn well you're hiding something. Mr. Thompson wouldn't spend his life savings on this place just for kicks.
