LANDON's waiting impatiently for ERIC, propped up on his crutches. EDDIE and JAMIE are in the background walking side by side down the steps of the building.

EDDIE
Don't even pretend like you're not gonna be great. I mean, you're so pretty.

JAMIE
(quickly)
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

EDDIE
All right. See ya.

He leaves. LANDON's all grumpy. JAMIE notices him and goes to join him, exchanging "bye"s with another girl on her way. LANDON glances at her like, "Ugh, not her again," and faces ahead.

JAMIE
So, would it kill you to try?

LANDON
Yup. And I'm too young to die.

JAMIE sighs quietly.

JAMIE
Okay, so you don't care about classes or graduating, but you like school because you're popular and you'll never be on top again.

LANDON
That's thoroughly predictable.

JAMIE
Your act only works on an audience.

LANDON ponders this as she goes. He checks his watch and looks up. JAMIE gets in her car, buckles up, and revs the engine. From the expression on her face and the fact he's standing right in front of her car, you almost think she wouldn't have any problem running him over. LANDON hops out of the way and heads for the driver's side of her car. JAMIE rolls down her window.

LANDON
Are you feeling Christian?

He gives her his best puppydog eyes "Please?" face. Well, how could she refuse?


JAMIE's driving.

JAMIE
(off screen)
Seatbelt.

LANDON gives her a look as though she's just asked him to jump into a tub full of live crabs. He sighs as he complies with her request. JAMIE smiles and turns on the radio. Rachael Lampa's "If You Believe" fills the car.

I close my eyes...

LANDON gives JAMIE another look as if to say, "There's no way in hell I'm listening to this." He changes the station. Extra Fancy's "No Mercy" blares.

No mercy...

JAMIE switches it back.

Do you believe that dreams come true? There's one that's waiting --

LANDON goes back to his song.

Too late...

Pauseworthy moment. LANDON has smiley eyes and covers his mouth with his hand, trying to conceal the fact that he's pleased he's won. Cuuute.

JAMIE
I forfeit.

LANDON
Thank you.

JAMIE
42.

LANDON
42? What do you -- what do you mean, 42?

JAMIE
42 is befriend somebody you don't like.

She looks at him. He's all, "O...kay."

JAMIE
It's a to-do list I have exempt from my life.

LANDON
What, like getting a new personality?

(Ha. Jeez, he's mean.)

JAMIE
Mm. Spend a year in the peace corp. Make a medical discovery.

LANDON
That's ambitious.

JAMIE
Be in two places at once. Get a tattoo.

LANDON
What's number one?

JAMIE
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

LANDON chuckles. He looks out the window and spots the party posse hanging out at some Burgers place by ERIC's jeep. LANDON glances from JAMIE to them all, "Uh oh." TRACIE, WALKER, and DEAN chat amongst themselves (and ERIC is sitting in the jeep). LANDON leans forward so they won't see him. JAMIE looks out his window and then at him knowingly.

No mercy
Don't worry, I won't kill you!

They pass by his friends and LANDON gets up again.



LANDON parks the station wagon in front of JAMIE's house. He's not happy. He cuts the ignition and exits the car.


JAMIE is practicing "Only Hope" on the piano. REVEREND SULLIVAN sits, reading. They both look up when the doorbell rings.


LANDON rings the doorbell again. The door swings open. JAMIE isn't pleased to see him. LANDON looks at her guiltily. Before he can say a word she shuts the door. LANDON leans against her house.



LANDON
Come on, Jamie. Open the door. Please.

He knocks. The door re-opens. He backs up.

LANDON
Whoa.

JAMIE joins him on the porch.

JAMIE
What do you want?

She shuts the door behind her.


LANDON
You're not in a good mood.

JAMIE
You don't miss a thing.

LANDON
Listen, Jamie, I was hopin' we could run lines together.

JAMIE
(nods)
Okay, but just not so anybody knows, right?

LANDON
Well, I just figured we could surprise everyone with how good I get.

JAMIE
Like we could be secret friends?

She smiles. LANDON's face lights up.
