blank dialogue

Two roommates Lindsay and McKel are trying to get along together. Lindsay is 5’8”, slender, medium length brown hair, and slightly shy. Lindsay comes from a big family so she is used to doing everything with someone. McKel is 5’6” with short dirty blonde hair, very outgoing, and she is chubby. Being an only child McKel is used to doing things alone and doing them her own way. Their differences make these two roommates good friends, but it also makes them clash at times. After being out alone all night, McKel comes back to their apartment. Lindsay is in her room that is decorated in blue and brown accents. McKel goes into Lindsay’s room to talk and let Linz know she is home safe. Lindsay isn’t too happy with McKel for being out alone so long.

“Where have you been?” Lindsay asks McKel while checking to see what time it is.

“Out.” Is all the response that McKel can gather enough energy for.

“Out?” Lindsay asks McKel.

“That’s right.” McKel says while fixing her hair.

“I thought we talked about this kind of thing. . .” Linz slowly responds.”

“We have.”

“And?”

“I don’t know what you’re getting at.” McKel says confusedly.

“I’m just trying to figure out what happened.”

McKel paused for a moment, then said, “Go ahead”.

“That doesn’t help. You said you would help at least—“

“Sure.”

“Ok, that’s what I’m talking about!” Lindsay exclaims.

McKel quickly evaded with her reply, “What’s what you’re talking about?” looking anywhere but at Lindsay.

“That I just can’t deal with this kind of—“

McKel is feeling very uncomfortable at this point and just wants to stop talking about it. So she tries to end the conversation by saying, “Forget it”.

In a tone of exasperation and disbelief Lindsay curtly asks “What?”

In a tone of complete monotone McKel replies “Forget it.”

“Nothing. I’m leaving.” Lindsay turns to walk away when McKel tries to reach out to give Lindsay a comforting hug. “Don’t.” Lindsay warns McKel.

“Well. . .” McKel wraps her arms around herself, “Just don’t leave.”

With a look of determination Lindsay replies “No.”

“No?” McKel looks forlornly as Lindsay walks out of the apartment.

Watching Lindsay walk out of the apartment McKel realizes that the way she has been acting isn’t acceptable and it isn’t fair to her roommate. She wipes the silent tears that had begun to fall down her face, and slowly trudges into her room. She doesn’t know what to do or how to fix her relationship with her good friend. Instead of going after Lindsay or trying to fix the problem she decides to go out alone to a party instead.
