My Girl 2 Page #4

Synopsis: Vada Sultenfuss has a holiday coming up, and an assignment: to do an essay on someone she admires and has never met. She decides she wants to do an assignment on her mother, but quickly realizes she knows very little about her. She manages to get her father to agree to let her go to LA to stay with her Uncle Phil and do some research on her mother. Once in LA, she finds herself under the protection of Nick, the son of Phil's girlfriend, who at first is very annoyed at losing his holidays to escort a hick *girl* around town. However, he soon becomes more involved in the difficult search.

a group of teenage guys enter the shop

VADA:

What are you staring at?

JUDY:

It's Kevin, I don't want him to see me.

VADA:

See you? He can smell you from there.

JUDY:

Oh God, he's coming over here, act natural,

Vada turns around wearing sunglasses with ENORMOUS lenses

KEVIN:

His group of friends laugh and move off

VADA:

What's the matter?

JUDY:

He likes you.

VADA:

Likes me? He said I looked like a

grasshopper.

JUDY:

Boys always pretend they hate you when they

really like you.

VADA:

That's ridiculous, so, if you really can't

stand someone, then you pretend that you're

really crazy about them?

JUDY:

I don't know. And I don't care, Kevin's a

jerk and I don't like him anymore. He's all

yours!

VADA'S THOUGHTS

If grasshopper is a term of endearment, I've

Vada looks annoyed and drops with a thud the load of books

she is carrying

SHELLY:

Umm, yeah, if it's a girl I'm kinda leaning

toward Esme.

ARTHUR:

Esme?

HARRY:

Yeah, you know that kinda sounds like a noise
