          (Outside Crestwood high)

  (Fang is leaning on the handrail of the stairs. Students are trooping out from inside - some alone, others in groups. Camila walks out.)

Fang: (sights her, stands erect) Camila!

       (Camila walks to her, longed face. Fang notices the wet eyes and long face)

Fang: were you...? are you ok?

Camila: em yes...off course.

Fang: ok...what was...the sudden rush? what was it about?

Camila: uh...you don't wanna know...it's not...

Fang: it's fine... never mind...

Camila: just Thomas and all his insanity. he's...I don't know what he is anymore.

Fang: well...what did he say? if you don't... off course mind me asking.

Camila: well...lots of stupid things... what dudes want from me, and Timon also wants same; probably why he intervined yesterday.

Fang: and...?

Camila: and?

Fang: do you believe him?

Camila: (skeptical)...off course not

Fang: ok. so...

Camila: so?

Fang: what's next? you like...going home?

Camila: uh no. actually I was thinking of heading to Timon's place to check on him. he was in a mess because of me. I wanna see how's doing.

Fang: wow. ok. I see you read my mind. I've been thinking for like 2-3 minutes about Jim...and just maybe he might be at Timon's place.

Camila: really? we gave a "no" to that. remember?

Fang: yeah. but what if we gave it a "yes"?

Camila: a yes then. do you know where timon lives?

Fang: (chuckles) off course girl. like it's where I live. (grabs her hand) come on, we have to move. (walks as she drags her along)

Camila: we don't have to walk

Fang: what? you wanna take the bus?

       (Balbino quickly arrives in Camila's vehicle, stopping beside them)

Camila: (looking at the car) no. we take the car

Fang: (confused) we... (turns around facing the black porche cayenne. Stunned) we take the car meaning we take this car?

Camila: yes.

Fang: no fucking freaking way! is this your car?!

Camila: (smiles) kinda.

Fang: you have a porche?! (gasps) can I drive?

      (Balbino quickly steps out from the car)

Balbino: I presume Mrs will expect I do the honors.

Fang: (startled, looks at him) oh shit.

Balbino: (to Camila) señora?

Camila: (smiles at him. In Spanish) right on time Balbino.

Balbino: (in Spanish) am happy you're happy Mrs. (opens the back door)

Fang: (to Camila) should I?

Camila: yes please.

        (Fang enters the car followed by Camila. Balbino moves into the driver's seat, he puts his legs on the gas)

       (The vehicle begins motion, it's on displacement, driving past trees, buildings, pedestrians etc.)
