SMACKLE sits in the school hallway's bay window. ZAY and MAYA stands near her, listening to her talk.

SMACKLE: It's not that I'm upset with his feelings—I've see our end drawing near for a while now. It's that...I have an irrational phobia of being...useless. I just want to be needed.

MAYA and ZAY look at each other, a bit confused.

ZAY: We'll always need you, Izzy.

MAYA: Yeah, c'mon, you're one of us now. You're our friend.

SMACKLE: Friend...

(SMACKLE gives a small smile. MAYA and ZAY smile back.)
