The Past Watch

Chapter 1

[A young lady  with brown hair is seen sitting near a college building. She is staring at the sky]

Young Lady: It's a beautiful day, I should draw something.

[The young lady starts drawing something and another almost identical young lady gets near her]

???: Lanys, what are you doing, sis?

[Lanys looks at her with a faint smile]

Lanys: Just drawing, waiting for my next class, Lexa.

Lexa: Alone again? You need to find friends, sis. I don't like you to be alone.

Lanys: (softly) yeah, I know.

Lexa: Well, got to run. My friends are waiting for me in the cafeteria. You okay out here?

Lanys: I'm okay. I'll see you later.

[Lexa leaves and Lanys goes back to drawing. A well-dressed man with a brown briefcase stands near Lanys and he sees her drawing]

???: Nice drawing, I see you took my advice and kept practicing.

[Lanys looks up and sees the man and she smiles]

Lanys: Professor.

Professor: Yeah, it's me. What are you doing alone out here?

Lanys: Well, I'm waiting for my next class and just wanted to draw.

[The Professor looks sternly at Lanys]

Professor: What about your friends?

[Lanys stays quiet and continues to draw]

Professor: Are you ignoring me?

[Lanys continues to stay quiet]

Professor: Lanys...I know you can hear me, why are you ignoring me?

[Lanys stops drawing and looks at the professor]

Lanys: You know I don't have friends.

Professor: Yeah, you don't trust people.

Lanys: It's not that.

Professor: No, then what is it?

Lanys: It's just hard. I've tried, but I think a part of me, just doesn't want to get hurt or betrayed.

Professor: I understand, but in this lonely world we live in, we always need someone to depend on. Understand?

Lanys: I do understand. I do have people I depend on.

Professor: Really, who?

Lanys: My parents.
