1.10: Confessions
(Kim watched Harold and Sharice walk away with a slight sneer on her face.)
Kim: How can you be friends with her?
Karen: She nice. You’re just mad cause she’s dating Harold and now you’re just a girl on the side.
Kim: I don’t want to be the girl on the side.
Karen: Then don’t be.
Kim: But I love him.
Karen: You don’t love him.
Kim: How would you know? You think what you and Francisco have is the only type of love there is.
Karen: No, but I know what you and Harold have, it isn’t love.
Kim: You don’t know anything.
(But even as Kim said it, she knew Karen was right.)
(Harold and Sharice chatted as they walked through the school halls together.)
Harold: Sharice, I’ve been thinking about what you said.
Reese: What did I say?
Harold: That you didn’t care about what I was doing with Kim.
Reese: I don’t.
Harold: Maybe I want you to care.
Reese: Really?
Harold: Maybe, just maybe.
Reese: Then make me care.
(Harold smiled to himself as he silently accepted the challenge to make her care. He didn’t know why he cared so much about her caring about him, he never cared before. But suddenly all he wanted was to know that she cared.)
