(Deva was sitting near a tree almost feeling sad. He looks far away at Yasmine and the guy she's currently with. He notices Yasmine making out with him, making him more upset and sobbing over her. He felt lost, but then he remembered exactly what he told Chucky the first time he met him)
Deva: It's cool man if you want to meet more girls, I'm trying to work on that department myself, so maybe we could do it together?
Chucky: Are you crazy, our lives will never change, even if we try. Every girl in this school doesn't want me.
Deva: In the school, yea, what about outside the school?
Chucky: Outside? I've never done anything like that before. Even then I still don't like it.
Deva: Come on bro just give it a chance. You don't want to torture yourself with that scene (Pointing in Betsy and Milo's direction)
(The flashback comes back into the present)
Deva: *I shouldn't torture myself looking at this. The first step to do is to get up and leave this spot. After that, I don't know what will happen.*
(He was about to walk, but notices Yasmine's phone on the ground near him. He was about to pick it up and give it to Yasmine. The phone vibrates and Yasmine has received a text from a friend. Deva reads the text. He reads those texts)
GIRL: GIRL ARE U SERIOUSLY GONA TO TRY TO MAKE HIM JEALOUS?
YASMINE: OF COURSE I AM. HE DOESN'T NOTICE ME WHEN I TALK TO HIM. BUT IF HE NOTICES ANOTHER GUY GOING AFTER ME, HE'LL GET SO JEALOUS AND I GOT HIM LIKE THAT
GIRL: THAT'S SUCH A GREAT PLAN. U'RE HOT, U COULD GET ANY GUY TO HELP U MAKE HIM JEALOUS
YASMINE: YEAH, I ALREADY FOUND MY GUY THOUGH
GIRL: YOU MEAN DEVA? THAT GEEK?
YASMINE: YEAH. CAN U BELIEVE IT? HE ASKED ME OUT ON A DATE. LIKE EWW. BUT IF I WANT TO MAKE HIM JEALOUS I THINK HE'S THE PERFECT CANDIDATE.
GIRL: YOU GO GIRL!
YASMINE: BELIEVE ME, IF DEVA SHOWS HE'S AFFECTIONATE WITH ME, I COULD SHOW THAT OFF ON MY INSTAGRAM STORY. MY FUTURE MAN WILL SEE IT AND HE WON'T LIKE IT WHEN ANOTHER GUY SHOWS ME ATTENTION. ANYWAYS I HAVE TO GO, GOT A DATE.
GIRL: HAVE FUN!
YASMINE: I'LL PRETEND TO.
(He scrolls more)
YASMINE: UHH!! I CAN'T STAND DEVA! HE'S SO PUSHY!
GIRL: WHAT HAPPENED?
YASMINE: HE JUST KEEPS GOING IN FOR A KISS, GRABBING MY BODY OUT OF NOWHERE. LIKE EXCUSE ME WHO ASKED YOU?
GIRL: I THOUGHT U WANTED HIM TO DO THAT.
YASMINE: YEAH WHEN WE'RE IN FRONT OF MY FUTURE MAN. HE DOES THIS IN PRIVATE EVERY TIME. AND HE WANTS TO KISS ME. I DON'T WANT TO LOCK LIPS WITH THAT MOUTH, ISN'T ME TOUCHING HIM AND GRACING HIM WITH MY PRESENCE ENOUGH??
GIRL: HE'S SO HORNY I BET LOL!
YASMINE: THAT'S NOT A JOKE, HE ACTUALLY IS. HE WASN'T COOL WHEN I KNEW HIM BACK THEN AND HE CERTAINLY ISN'T NOW. HE'S SO DELUSIONAL THAT HE ACTUALLY THINKS I LIKE HIM. HE'S JUST SO HARMLESS, HE'S NOT MAN ENOUGH FOR ME.
GIRL: WELL IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOUR FUTURE MAN SEEMS TO NOTICE U ANYWAYS.
YASMINE: TRUST ME GIRL, HE NOTICES. HE'S JUST TRYING TO SHOW HE DOESN'T CARE. BUT I KNOW HE CAN'T HANDLE THE FACT THAT I'M DATING DEVA. I KNOW IT'S DRIVING HIM CRAY CRAY.
GIRL: WHAT IF HE ACTUALLY THINKS U AND DEVA ARE DOING IT?
YASMINE: OH PLEASE, HIM AND ME WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. BUT IF I DO NEED TO TAKE IT THIS FAR, I'LL LET DEVA KISS ME. URGH, I JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT.
GIRL: HAH! I BET U'D MAKE DEVA THE HAPPIEST MAN ALIVE WITH JUST THAT.
YASMINE: I'M JUST GIVING HIM PIECES AND CRUMBS. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THAT'S ALL THE ACTION HE'S EVER GONNA GET.
GIRL: YOU'RE SO MEAN LMAO!
YASMINE: IK, BUT IT'S DEVA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HAHAHAHA!
(An infuriated Deva threw the phone hard on the concrete floor upon hearing it. He runs off into nowhere aimlessly. He comes to a junkyard, grabs a bat and smashes everything in sight)
Deva: (Tears flowing out of his eyes as he's smashing the things around him) YOU FUCKING BITCH! (Smash) I MEANT NOTHING TO YOU! (Break) TALK ABOUT HAVING YOUR EMOTIONS TOYED! (Smash) YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH MINES THE ENTIRE TIME! (Throws) TELL ME YOU'VE BEEN HURT! (Stomp) AND NOW YOU'RE BACK TOGETHER WITH HIM AND THINK I'M A JOKE! (Smash) FUCK YOU! (Smash) I HOPE YOU DIE IN A DITCH, YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD! (Smash, Smash, Smash) RRRRAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHH!
(Deva looks at his bat and sees a building. Deva, out of blind rage, throws the bat. The bat broke a window and broke through the control panel. This set off the disconnected circuits and causes a huge fire to erupt in the building. Upon seeing the flames, Deva lets the bat drop on its own and gazes into the flames in complete silence. He let everything go at the moment. He feels a sudden peace when he watches an entire building burning with ashes. It's like he could feel the heat melting away his pain. After that, he walks home slowly. Little did he know somebody was at the junkyard watching him the entire time. The scene ends)
