• Nurse’s Office – 12:56pm


    (Nurse Yuzen tries to comfort Tia, who is crying nonstop.)

    N.Yuzen: It’s ok, your mom’s on her way. Is there anything I can do?

    (Tia stares into space with tears running down her cheeks; Nurse Yuzen sighs sadly; At that moment, Tia’s mom, Olivia walks through the door.)

    Olivia: Tia? Oh hello Yuzen

    N.Yuzen: Hey Olivia

    Olivia:*looks at Tia* What happened to Tia?! Is she alright??

    N.Yuzen: It’s hard to tell…She says she’s tired but I think It’s a severe case of heartbreak…

    Olivia:*sadly* Oh…

    N.Yuzen: she’ll probably get over it but it depends on how much she liked him.

    Olivia: Ok, thank you very much…

    (Olivia and Tia get in their car and drive home.)

    Olivia:*putting up her jacket* Alrighty, you get some rest! And later I’ll make you some good ol’!...

    SLAM!(Tia goes straight to her room and locks herself in.)

    Olivia:*sighs*


    Nada middle school, 3:45pm


    (Jada walks out the school building with the Principal close behind.)

    Principal: I’m getting tired of seeing you in my office, Ms. Anderson…You’re a good girl so I’ll let you go, but no more fighting with Ms. Martinez, ok?

    Jada:*smiles* I’ll try, but I’m not promising anything.

    Principal:*laughs*Just get out of here.

    Jada: K, thank you sir!*runs off the steps and starts walking*~Wow, I was so worried about Tia that my detention felt like it was only 2 minutes! I wonder how she’s doin?...~

    Voice:*faint*Jada, Over here!

    Jada: Hm?

    (Jada looks up and sees Knights and Yuki waiting for her.)

    Jada:*runs up to them* Hey guys, yall didn’t have to wait all this time.

    Knights: It’s ok, It wasn’t that long, *starts walking* even Yuki didn’t mind.

    (They all walk together.)

    Yuki:…Sorry you guys are putting up with me…ya probably wanna be alone…

    Knights:*grins*Actually…

    Jada: Knights!

    Knights: What? I was just kidding!

    Jada: Nonsense Yuki! We’re like family.

    Knights:*smirks* Yeah Yuks, don't tell me you don't like us anymore

    Yuki: It’s not that I don’t enjoy yalls company, but without Tia, I’m so lonely. I mean It’s like half of me is gone, and when she said she hates me…*depressed look* It hurt so much…

    Knights:*pats his back* C’mon cheer up, you’re startin to get me depressed.

    (Jada looks at Yuki sadly.)

    Jada:*sudden smile*Yuki!

    Yuki:*scared*Ah what, what?!

    Jada: Gimme your phone real quick.

    Yuki: Oh is that all?*hands her the phone* almost gave me a heart attack…

    Jada:*dials Tia’s number* Maybe Tia’s at home…

    (Meanwhile, at Tia’s house, she’s still in her room crying when her mom walks in with a hot bowl of soup.)

    Olivia: Tia, I made your favorite soup, c’mon wake up.*puts it on her Tia’s dresser;smiles* You’ll eat it later…you know, moping around in your room isn’t gonna make you feel the slightest bit better, you should be havin fun so you won’t think about the negatives of the day.

    Tia:…I’m fine…

    Olivia: You’re the complete opposite. Now when you meet the one you love sometimes you’ll know just by looking at him, but sometimes he could be right under your nose, so keep on the watch. Even if you don’t find Mr. Right anytime soon, be patient, love will find it’s way to you. Now this boy you’re grieving over, he’s probably not worthy of you anyway. You’re a beautiful young lady and there are plenty of fishes in the sea, but don’t just pick any boy off the street…

    Tia:*upset* What do you know?! You have no idea what I’m going through! Why are you always in my business?! I told you I’m fine, so can you just get out and leave me alone already?!

    (An expression of great hurt appeared upon Olivia’s face.)

    Olivia:…I was only trying to help, but now…I know I am not needed…*walks to the door;stood there for a few seconds then turns around*…I’m always in your business, huh?...Fine, you won’t have to worry about that anymore…*softly shuts the door behind her*

    (Tia puts her hand over her mouth and tears pour out of her eyes.)

    Tia:*shocked and upset;shaking*~Oh my goodness! What did I just say?!~*sobbing*~No mom, I didn’t mean any of that, I love you! I-I need you! I didn’t mean to hurt you…What’s wrong with me?!~

    (At that moment, her cell phone rings, she looks at it miserably, then jerks her head away from it.)

    Tia:*crying*~…I’m sorry everybody…I’m so sorry!~

    (Meanwhile, Jada hangs up the phone, feeling sadder than before.)

    Jada:*sighs*…She’s not answering.

    Yuki: See? She really does hate me…

    Jada: No that’s not true. In fact, I’m sure Tia feels the exact opposite, but when you told her you were suddenly leaving she probably thinks you don’t care about her anymore.

    Yuki: Then I’ll just go to her house, a-and I’ll straighten it out!

    Jada: Huh? No, not now!

    Yuki: Why not? If I just go talk to her then we’ll be together again, right?

    Knights: It’s not that simple.

    Yuki:*dumbstruck*Huh??

    Jada: You gotta wait till Tia cools down first or otherwise you’ll push her away even more. But don’t worry, she never misses a day of school so you’ll have your chance tomorrow.

    Yuki:*ecstatic* Yeah, that’s perfect!* exaggerated pose* I, Yuki the great, will win my girl back again! I call this “Operation Break up to Make up!”

    Jada & Knights:*grinning*Yeah, Go Yuki GO!
