I'm writing a skit based on a series of Luann comics, but changing it up a lot. The book that the comics are in is Passion! Betrayal! Outrage! Revenge! My skit is called The Problems with Andrew Tanner and it's basically about a girl named Nora Talbot instead of Luann DeGroot. Better name, don't you think? Here's the synopsis:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The one thing Nora Talbot wants more than anything is to be asked to the 8th grade dance by Andrew Tanner, who she’s loved since the 2nd grade. After her brother accidentally deletes a complete file on the computer dedicated to Andrew, she finds a way to get it back, prints it out, gives it to Andrew for Valentine’s Day, and he loves it.
While waiting for Andrew to ask her to the dance, a nerd at the school, Rolf Liebkin, asks her, but she postpones her answer, in hopes Andrew will ask her. She starts thinking about the possibilities of having a relationship with either one of them.
After a while, Rolf explains he has someone else in mind to take to the dance, but doesn’t say much about her. After putting the puzzle together, Nora realizes he’s going with her best friend, Emily. While arguing, the head cheerleader, Jasmine Clemens, lies to Nora and Emily that she’s going with Andrew, but she eventually explains that "he didn’t exactly ask" her.
3 months later, Nora still hasn’t decided. Emily and Nora’s other best friend, Audrey get into a fight, Audrey saying she should give Rolf a chance, while Emily pushes her to go for her dream. In the middle of their argument, Andrew gets the guts to ask her, and she says yes.
At the dance, Nora has the time of her life, until Jasmine comes up and interrupts their dance, claiming the DJ needs a list of fast music. To get back at her, Andrew ends up kissing Nora.
Meanwhile, Ms. Tablot tries to give Nora some advice and that she shouldn’t limit herself to just Andrew.
After the dance, Nora tries to apologize to Rolf, who says he’s going steady with Emily. She foolishly confronts Emily and says that she should be able to claim Rolf, since they’ve been friends for a while. They end up having a big fight, so there ends up being this big triangle of anger, with Nora being mad at Rolf, him being mad at her, and Emily and Nora being mad at one another. Eventually, Emily gets Rolf to forgive Nora, and everything ends up normal.
Nora, Emily, and Audrey go to the mall and have Audrey explain the whole situation, but she’s not exactly the best since she recently broke up with her boyfriend. Later, Nora realizes that even if she wasn’t with Andrew, she would still have her friends there with her.
Ms. Talbot tells Nora that her friends have two tickets to Romeo + Juliet that they can’t use, but she can’t go because she has to go to a teacher meeting, so Nora asks Andrew if he would like to go with her. When they go, she notices there’s no chemistry whatsoever.
School is out later, and the Summer Dance is coming up, and Nora is trying to give several hints to Andrew, who remains clueless.
After a while, Andrew texts Nora and asks her to meet her at the food court in the mall at noon. When she gets there, he explains that there’s someone else he cares about, but it’s not Jasmine, and if they could just be friends. Emily and Audrey later try to think of all the possibilities. Nora talks to her mom, who gives her some more advice.
Jasmine asks Andrew to the dance, but when he refuses, she is in full outrage. Andrew gives Nora a text that maybe, in the future, they could be together, but not now. Nora realizes that she still has a chance in the big chase.
