SCENE 24
Craig, Zoe, Charli, Quinn, Raeni and Christopher are walking towards the art exhibition.
Craig and Zoe are walking ahead of everyone else. They are both holding hands.
Craig: So... how you feeling?
Zoe looks at him briefly.
Zoe: Why?
Craig: Am I not allowed to ask my most favourite girl how she is?
Zoe: I didn't know I was your favourite girl...
Craig: Did you think I liked Charli better?
Zoe laughs.
Seriously, though - are you feeling better now?
Zoe: I suppose I am. I feel like there's a chance I might get this thing done now.
Craig: Right. You'll get this thing done, get back into your course, and you'll be happy again.
Zoe: Exactly.
She stops abruptly.
And it'll be all thanks to you.
Her hand trails down Craig's arm to his skateboard.
And your skateboard.
Craig brushes Zoe's hair out of her face and attempts to kiss her. However, they are interrupted by Charli screaming at a student running in front of her.
Charli: Hey! Watch where you're going!
The student looks back at Charli and ignores her. They turn back and bump into Craig, and they both fall on the floor.
The student drops the pendant that they stole earlier. They run off unaware of this.
Christopher: Are you OK?
Craig lifts his back up off the floor.
Craig: Yeah... fine. But that guy over there dropped something.
Charli: What?
Craig shows Charli the pendant.
A necklace with a pendant?
Zoe: Why would he have that?
Quinn: Maybe he stole it.
Raeni: That could be the case. Why else would he be running?
Quinn: I feel like we should call the police.
Charli: What would we even tell them? We don't know what he looked like.
Craig: I dunno... maybe we should just keep it.
Zoe: But it might be really valuable to someone.
Craig: If someone asks for a necklace, we'll just give it back to them.
Zoe: Cool, then.
Quinn: Well, now that's sorted... we need to get into the exhibition!
Raeni: Good point. Let's go!
Suddenly, Christopher sees Caspian running towards them.
Christopher: Guys, wait! Caspian's here!
Caspian catches up with them, short of breath.
Charli: Why, hello there, Caspian. Come to join us?
Caspian: N... no.
Caspian sees Craig holding the necklace.
T... that necklace... it belongs to Coral.
Craig: Who's Coral?
Caspian: Someone I met... at the college. Listen... she needs it back... it's really important.
Craig: Fair enough. Here!
He hands Caspian the necklace.
Zoe: So who was that person running away with it?
Caspian: Some idiot from the Applied Science centre next door. There were two of them smoking, and we told them to stop. I got in a fight with one of them, and Coral tried to break it up, but got her necklace stolen. That's why I was running.
Christopher: That makes sense.
Raeni: But what would he want with a necklace?
Caspian: Nothing. He just thought he was bad for stealing it.
Zoe: Well... we better give it back.
Zoe begins to walk, but Quinn stops her.
Quinn: Wait! You'll miss the exhibition if you go.
Zoe pauses.
Zoe: Quinn, I'll be fine.
Quinn: Are you sure you wanna take that risk?
Zoe: As I said before, Quinn - I'll be fine...
