Dance Academy Page #3

Kat, Sammy and Tara emerge together. Kat is fired up aboutthe changed curriculum and on her soapbox.

KAT:

We can’t just take all thesechanges lying down. We have freewill. We need to plan.

TARA:

(apologetic)

I would love to plan but I haveknee stuff.

Kat rolls her eyes as Tara heads off. She looks to Sammy,

putting him on the spot.

ABIGAIL:

Sammy!

They turn to see Abigail emerging from the studio and makinga beeline for him. Kat makes a face.

KAT:

Come find me when you’re free.

Kat heads off in another direction, as Abigail reaches Sammy.

She smiles - he smiles back but less enthusiastically thanusual.

ABIGAIL:

I was looking for you last night.

SAMMY:

Yeah? I... was hanging out withKat.

ABIGAIL:

(flirting)

Are you avoiding me?

She’s not letting her vulnerability show but it’s there underthe surface. He has been avoiding her.

SAMMY:

No... I just, you know, you andKat... you’re like oppositemagnetic poles, anyone caught inthe middle is instantly crushed...

Not pretty.

ABIGAIL:

So if I could be friends with Kat

that would help?

Sammy laughs - and then sees Abigail’s face - she’s beingserious.

SAMMY:

Sure. I mean, not that there’s

anything that needs help, right?

Right... I should go. Kat... Ipromised.

And he takes off after Kat, leaving Abigail wondering whatjust happened.

Tara sits on the examining table. Dr Wicks moves her legslowly back and forth.

DR WICKS:

ligaments are healing nicely. Howdoes that feel?

Okay, I guess.

Dr Wicks finishes examining Tara and smiles, pleased for her.

DR WICKS:

Tara is less convinced. She’s nervous.

TARA:

No guarantees though, is there?

The Doctor shakes her head. There never is.

DOCTOR WICKS:

At some point you have to take aleap of faith. I wouldn’t let youdo it if you weren’t ready.

As Dr Wicks makes a note on her files, Tara tries to smile,

but we can see that a level of anxiety persists.
