Aaliyah meets Creativity part 2

Interior. John Quincy Adams Middle School. Mr. Matthews' History Classroom.

Cory:
The Dark Ages--

Maya:
They're cutting art class and you want to talk about the Dark Ages?

Cory:
The Dark Ages was a time of cultural deterioration.

Maya:
What does that have to do with me?
Cory:
The Dark Ages was the decline of the creative spirit of an entire continent.

Maya:
What about me?

Cory:
The Dark Ages is when they cut the art class at this middle school right now. And you, Maya Hart-- Yes, you, Maya Hart, the one I'm looking at right here-- Can't paint anymore.

Maya:
You know, a good teacher lets the students get there on their own.

Riley:
(has her hand up) Daddy?

Cory:
Riley, if you put another purple cat on our fridge, I swear I'm moving to Brooklyn.

Riley:
Scratch my nose. I won't be dry until math, and Mrs. Kravitz scratches my nose like she doesn't want to. (Cory scratches Riley's nose) That's like a daddy would.

Cory:
So... Why were the Dark Ages dark, Pippin?

Farkle:
People lost interest in art and music because it was taken away from them.

Lucas:
Well, I don't want that for Maya. I want Maya to be happy.

Zay:
Hey, Maya, it looks like Lucas here's gettin' all fired up on your behalf.

Maya:
Thank you, Lucas. But it's just an art class.

Lucas:
I feel bad. They're taking away something you're very good at.

Maya:
You've never said that to me before.

Lucas:
I've said it.

Maya:
Yeah, but not, like straight to my face when you were looking at me. I can't remember you actually l--

Lucas:
You're a great artist, Maya.
Zay:
Well, he lookin' at you now.
Lucas:
You have a real talent. And I want you to be able to get better and share it with people.
Zay:
Now they're just lookin' at each other and not sayin' nothin'. Are they saying anything? No? Well, I wonder that they're thinkin'.
Lucas:
I don't want them to take away your art class, Maya. Aaliyah:oh look at that Lucas is so upset they took away art *fake crys*. Lucas:that's really mean Liyah. Aaliyah:Like I care besides only my family can call me Liyah not you. Riley:
Bay window! Bay window right in five hours.
Maya:
Okay.
Lucas:
Who's gonna do something about art class?
Maya:
I'm sure that'll be Riley.
Riley:
Nope.
Cory:
Well, I know you guys would like me to step in here--
Riley:
Nope. This is bigger than you, Dad.
Cory:
You're right. This is. In fact, this decision comes directly from the New York City school board.
Riley:
That's not what I'm talking about. If they're gonna put us in the Dark Ages, then who's gonna get us out?
Cory:
Ah. Funny thing about that. You know who did get us out? Artists.
Riley:
Ah.
Cory:
Michaelangelo, Da Vinci... There was an explosion of creativity called the Renaissance. Maya, I would think you'd have something to say about that.
Maya:
Cut the art classes; don't cut the art classes. What have I ever been able to do about my life? And now my little purple friend will go crazy.
Riley:
Not this time, Maya. You're the artist, and I'm just the artist's best friend. Time skip---------------------------
As Aaliyah was heading towards the door to head to the subway Lucas pulled her back into the class."Lucas what's your problem" Aaliyah exclaimed. "My problem*shuts the door* you wanna talk about my problem,OK your the one calling me out in class" Lucas yelled back "OK and what's wrong with that" she answered back. "You've been rude to them and myself since the beginning" Lucas said "your the one over here saying how you want them to bring her art back but what about me" Aaliyah said. "Aaliyah your the one who stopped your talent" "but I'm not the one who broke up with there girlfriend before leaving" "Liyah you know I had no choice" "whatever Lucas" Aaliyah said as she tried to walk out the door. Lucas pulled her back in once more.This time they were right in each other's faces. They both started to lean in.Then that's when it happened Lucas and Aaliyah started to kiss.Then broke free of the kiss "wow" they both said. They both realized old feelings began to start again now that they are both in the same state. The kiss began to change into
