In front of the Matthews apartment building
Josh is hiding from Lucas behind a tree.
Lucas runs by, seeing Josh.
L-"I can see you."
Josh tries to run away. But is stopped by Lucas grabbing the back of his shirt.
L-"Oh no you don't. I told you what was gonna happen if you touched her."
Josh is terrified.
J"I-I- didn't touch her though. I tried to. There's a difference."
L-"I'm not in the mood for jokes. So we can either do this the easy way or the hard way."
All of a sudden Maya is running towards them.
Then Riley is right behind her.
R-"Oh...So we're not playing a game...."
Maya looks at Riley, amazed of how innocent she is.
M-"Lucas! Don't!"
L-"Why not?"
M-"Because it's not the answer."
L-"Why do you care so much about him?"
M-"I-I don't."
J-"Oh. Wow. Just what every guy wants to hear."
Maya just stands there, not knowing what to say.
L-"I think you still care about him.(to Maya)"
M-"That's crazy! I love you!"
L-"Yeah you might love me, but you still care about him."
Maya stands there silent.
Riley is confused.
L-"Tell me you don't. Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't care about him anymore."
M-"I-I can't."
L-"What?"
M-"I can't! Of course I still care about him! He was my first crush! My first boyfriend!"
Lucas puts Josh down and throws his hands in the air, from anger.
L-"Unbelievable! I can't believe you still care about him!"
R-"Why does it matter? You still care about me. You even said you'll always care about me."
Lucas stands, shocked. He looks over at Maya.
M-"See. It doesn't matter! I know that you care about her and you always will. And that's okay."
Riley turns to Maya.
R-"He also told me he thinks about us being together. He said it was the wrong time and place for us....."
Maya starts to get tears in her eyes.
M-"You said that?(to Lucas)"
Lucas stands there, not knowing what to say.
J-"Well I should be going--"
Lucas grabs his shirt again.
L-"Not so fast."
M-"Let him go Lucas."
Lucas lets go of Josh.
Josh walks over to Maya.
J-"I think I'm gonna go."
M-"Yeah you should. Bye Josh."
Josh walks away.
M-"You.(to Lucas)"
L-"Me?"
M-"You should go too."
L-"But--"
M-"Lucas. I would like you to go. Now. I'll talk to you later."
Lucas puts his head down, sad.
He walks over to Maya and hugs her.
L-"I love you. I'm sorry.(sad)"
M-"Me too.(sad)"
Lucas breaks the hug and walks away.
