THE INTROVERT A WILLY NILLY STORY

Jonas: (startled) nine...in two days?

Mr dikrol: yes...and they had no jobs that suit my skill. some would make me come to so many meetings but at the end, it all came down to the same thing.

Jonas: does your family...know the situation?

Mr dikrol: they don't...I mean they know I've been out a little much lately. they don't know I lost my workshop. em to be honest...I don't think I can bring myself to tell my wife about it. I have failed her so many times...and now...and now this. (looks down, disappointed)

Jonas: I understand dikrol...I do...and infact we lost one of our supervisors over here. it was an accident. we have need for a new supervisor. I checked your files, you studied engineering yeah? but am afraid you don't have any experience in supervising a project. now I don't know if the officials will let you have a shot at this.

Mr dikrol: experience...? Jonas we both know experience comes with opportunity. if am not given an opportunity then...how do I gain experience...? I don't. which is why I need your help. please Jonas, I really need this.

Jonas: not to worry dikrol...I will do everything I can to help you. but I can't promise you anything. in the meantime, I think telling your family about your unemployment case would really help you. you don't have to deal with this on your own.

Mr dikrol: ...yeah...I think your right. but thank you Jonas, I do appreciate your willingness to help.

Jonas: off course. anytime. (looks under the table and brings out two bottles of beer) now that is aside, we should...(keeps them on the table) have that beer chat...

(Mr dikrol chuckles)

Jonas: don't you think?

Mr dikrol: you have beer beneath your table?

Jonas: sure. never know when you might need it. (Smiles at him)

Mr dikrol: (laughs) let's do it.

(Jonas laughs)

(Back at Crestwood high, in timon's classroom. It is quite noisy - discussions are going on round the class)

(Camila sits alone doing the usual ----- reading a book with a headset in her ear.)

Jimmy: (reference to Camila, to timon) dude she's just there...alone. this is the best chance you've got.

Timon: (standing beside Jimmy) yeah...let me think

Jimmy: think about what?

Timon: what to say to her.

Jimmy: what to...just go to her and say you're sorry.

Timon: (anxious) well what if she gets on her feet, give me that stern scary look again...

Voice of protagonist: am pretty sure you guys remember that look.

Timon: and like... really slap me...like really hard.

Jimmy: what? Camila would never do that. I doubt she has ever...or she would ever hit a guy.

Timon: you do?

Jimmy: yeah. I do.

Timon: and why should I trust you know...what your saying?

Jimmy: you wanna do this the hard way?

Timon: no...I don't.

Jimmy: ok...the hard way is coming right up. just watch. (quickly turns and picks up timon's pencil from the table and turns back to Camila)
