SLANTED MIND

 

 HOW TO READ

*stuff in between asterisks* -- Can be either 1) thoughts of the character, 2) action made by the character or 3) description of what’s going on.  Basically, this was meant to remind me what to draw.   

***stuff between multiple asterisks*** -- Same as above, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t forget :P 

(stuff between parentheses) -- Stuff that the character says “in the background”, not intended to be in an official speech bubble. 

 

Chapter 12 – Coming Out  (Script)

 

***JESSA’S THERE TOO, watching tv***

*Meros’s mom is blank in disbelief*

Meros’s mom: …you’re moving out.  

Meros: …yes.

Meros’ mom: …with a friend? 

Meros: …yes. 

Mom: …what’s his name?   

Meros: …Thanat. 

Mom: …I’ve never heard anything about him.  How come you’ve never told me about him?  Why has he never come here?  How did you meet him?  When?

Meros: Uh…  I first met him something like 6 months ago…  At college… 

Mom: Well I’m just not letting you go with some guy you hardly know.  I want to meet him.  You know, sometimes you think you know someone… 

Meros: *blush rolls eyes* Mom...  I’m gonna invite him over, don’t worry.  He’s on his way here as a matter of fact…  To help me take some of my stuff to his apart-

Mom: WHAT!?  Already???  I’m telling you I want to meet him first!  I am NOT letting you move out until I know the person you are moving out with!  And why with him?  Why don’t you just wait until you meet a nice girl and move out with her??  Why not with Joan??  You’ve known her all your life!  Why a stranger?!  I’ve never forced you out of this house you know!  Why are you so eager to move out?!  First your dad, now you!

Meros: This has got nothing to do with dad mom!  I’m not “leaving you”, I’m only moving out! 

Mom: Moving out with a friend, in the same city… It’s beyond my comprehension!  

Meros: *mega blush* …

Jessa: *sighs sonorously*  Mom, SERIOUSLY… 

Mom: What?! *annoyed*

Jessa: Even -I- can tell what this is about!  And I’ve been away for the past YEAR!  Meros is the worst when it comes to hiding stuff!  And you certainly are the worst at GETTING stuff! 

Mom: JESSA!  *angry*

Jessa: *frowns and rolls eyes* Get this over with and let me watch TV in peace!

Meros: *discouraged*

Mom: *fuming* Jessa, you-

Meros: Mom!  Please let go!  And listen…  Thanat…  The guy who’s on his way here, the guy you are gonna meet in a few minutes…  *Go…  say it…* He’s my lover.  *I said it! * So please, *I said it…* PLEASE… 

Mom: *freaking out* *VERY blank facial expression, blood completely drained from her face* 

Meros: …Mom? 

Mom: *sits down*

Jessa: *watching the scene from the corner of his eyes*

*someone knocks at the door*

Jessa: Eh.  Good timing…  *goes back to TV*

Meros: *goes open the door*

Thanat: *smiling* *sees Meros’s face* *smile fades* ?  *looks at something behind Meros*

*Meros turns around, sees his mom fleeing to her room* *sigh* *looks back at Thanat*

Jessa : *curious, gets up and peeks out at Thanat* *sees the cross, surprised expression* *looks at Meros*

Meros: *blush*

Jessa: *flicks Meros on the arm*  Hehehehe ^_^  *goes back to TV* Go ahead and pack… And don’t worry about a thing: I’ll be home for a while, Mom won’t be alone.  At least not completely. 

Meros: *skeptical/annoyed expression* 

Thanat: *got in* *puzzled look* 

(Thanat: who’s that?)

(Meros: That’s Jessa, my big brother.)   

(Thanat: ah… )
