Scene 8-the cafeteria-noon-the "Breakup"

(Everyone in AIDEN'S group but FUEGO enters)

WILLIAM: I don't trust Fuego's plan. Why would he have you two actually break up.

ETHAN: We already analyzed that. Ethan and I talked about how Fuego may be working with Jonathan. The breakup we are having will be fake.

WILLIAM: WOW. Smart.

ETHAN: And remember how he said he liked Ember, but when you asked her out, he didn't stop you. We talked about that.

(Fuego enters)

FUEGO: You guys ready?

ETHAN: Yes.

(They go and sit down)

WILLIAM: (trying to spark the fake argument) So, what do you think about the movie you saw last weekend?

ETHAN: (going along with it) It was not good at all. It wasn't realistic at all.

AIDEN: (playing along) What do you mean? The explosions were so realistic!

ETHAN: Yeah but in space there would be no sound! Plus, you can't make a laser sword that easily!

AIDEN: I saw a video where fire was made to replicate the laser swords!

ETHAN: Yeah but that is a fire sword, not a laser sword!

AIDEN: You are so not going there. Since when does science need to be accurate in sci-fi movies?

ETHAN: Since sci-fi means science fiction!! This is why I hate sci-fi!!

AIDEN: You know what! It's over! We are breaking up! I can't date a person who hates sci-fi!

ETHAN: Well I can't date a person who doesn't follow physics! Bye!

AIDEN: So you won't give me a reason to stay with you??!! Now it really is over!!

ETHAN: Fine!

AIDEN: Fine!! (Walks away and sits at a table that has only JONATHAN sitting there and focus is on them)

JONATHAN: That was intense.

AIDEN: Yeah. (Starts to fake cry)

JONATHAN: I am so sorry. You okay? (touches his hand)

AIDEN: Yeah. I am just so upset. Why wouldn't he just fight for me?

JONATHAN: Maybe he didn't like you. Anyways, you said you would date me if things go wrong so, will you go out with me?

AIDEN: No! I really loved him. I just need time alone.

JONATHAN: (thinks for a minute) Aiden. I am so sorry. But I have something to admit. Fuego and I were trying to get you to break up so that I can go out with you and so Fuego could go out with Ethan.

AIDEN: (stops act and takes out his phone and taps it) And now I have the proof.

JONATHAN: What?

(ETHAN, WILLIAM, AIDEN, and the rest of the school gather around FUEGO and JONATHAN)

WILLIAM: I saw you form your plan. And I could tell Fuego liked Ethan. I told them and we planned on ruining your plan. They were faking the breakup. They could never break up.

FUEGO and JONATHAN/Fallen in Love Reprise

JONATHAN: Well, Fine! You can have each other. My heart was also set on another boy.
FUEGO.
FUEGO.
FUEGO I LOVE YOU.
TO HEAL MY HEART
WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?
PLEASE SAY, I LOVE YOU TOO.
I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE
WITH YOU.

FUEGO: WHAT DO I DO?
I DIDN'T NOTICE IT BEFORE
I KNOW IT'S TRUE
LOVE HAS OPENED IT'S DOOR
I THINK I LIKE YOU TOO.
I THINK I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE
WITH YOU.

AIDEN: So you can be together my friends.

JONATHAN: Wait, we are still friends?

ETHAN: Of course. We decided to forgive you.

FUEGO: Thanks but we don't deserve to be forgiven. We are so horrible.

ETHAN: It is Fine. Please. Just be happy. Have fun.

JONATHAN: Okay.

AIDEN: Now everyone sit down! Nothing to see here.

(Everyone sits down. WILLIAM sits with Ember and the focus shifts towards them)

WILLIAM: Ember. This may sound creepy.
I THINK I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE
WITH YOU.

EMBER: Will.
I LOVE YOU TOO.

(They kiss [can be replaced with a hug] and the scene ends)
