FADE IN.
INT. LIBRARY AFTERNOON
STEPH is at the bookshelf searching for a book as NATASHA
walks up to her
STEPH
(Shocked)
What are you doing here?
NATASHA
Hey
STEPH
(Confused)
Hey
NATASHA
Can we talk?
STEPH
I guess.
NATASHA and STEPH walk upstairs and find an empty room.
INT. LIBRARY ROOM
NATASHA sits down. STEPH pulls out a chair and puts it in
front of her and also sits down.
STEPH takes off her glasses
STEPH
So what do you want to talk about?
NATASHA stares at STEPH's hands on her lap. She pulls out a
piece of paper from her pocket and starts to unravel it.
NATASHA
I I wrote a letter I was going to give it to you earlier but
your friends were around So I decided to come and see you
instead.
STEPH
Okay.
STEPH straightens her posture. Nervously anticipating.
NATASHA
Feel free to say no.

STEPH
No, go ahead.
NATASHA unfolds the piece of paper. Opens her mouth to start
reading, but no words exit. A pause.
STEPH
(Impatiently.)
Well?
NATASHA just looks from the paper to STEPH. Staring hard into
her eyes.
NATASHA
I dont think these words can describe how I really feel about
you.
A pause
STEPH
So you're not gonna read it?
Just tell me! Ive got to leave soon anyways.
NATASHA stops her midway through her sentence.
NATASHA
Please This is hard enough already.
(A pause.)
STEPH
Okay I'm listening.
NATASHA sighs.
NATASHA
Do you remember last summer, when we went to the park and
walked and talked?
STEPH
(Laughs softly)
It was the first time we hung out together.
NATASHA
And you brought a friend along cos you were too scared to
hang out with me, alone.
STEPH
I wasn't scared I was nervous.
(Natasha gently touches Stephs hands in her lap.)
I mean, I just started sixth form and you were going to
university. Was a bit intimidating don't you think? And I was
gonna come by myself, but I freaked out last minute so I

called Tia and told her to come with me. You remember Tia
dont you?
NATASHA
Hmm You were wearing that top and the nice...
(STEPH interrupts)
STEPH
Great! You remember what I was wearing. What's the point in
this?
NATASHA
Exactly Whats the point?
STEPH
Youve lost me
NATASHA
What was the point of that? Why did we do all that? Why did
you agree to hang out with me?
(A pause.)
STEPH
Just let what happened last summer be. You hurt me...
NATASHA reaches for Stephs leg and places her hand on it
firmly. She looks into her eyes.
NATASHA
I know but Im sorry
(A pause.)
STEPH
I don't get it, was I not good enough? Why her? After all the
attempts of me trying to fit in and all the stares I received.
You didnt even consider my feelings!
NATASHA leans forward and places her hand on STEPHS chin.
NATASHA
It wasnt like that
NATASHA kisses STEPH passionately.
STEPH sighs.
NATASHA goes in for a second kiss as STEPH slaps her across
the face.
NATASHA

FUCK
(Pauses)
Dont you think youre blowing this out of proportion?
STEPH
How else am I supposed to respond?!
You slept with my best friend! Not once, not twice but three
bloody times.
NATASHA
It was her fault
STEPH
Tia?
NATASHA
She invited me over and one thing led to another.
STEPH
How classic, the blame game, I expected more from you. You
know what I deserve better!
Pause
NATASHA
I know youre angry, but it doesnt change how I feel about
you.
NATASHA leans in a looks at STEPH. She looks away.
STEPH
I dont get it. I mean wha...wha...what do you want me to say?
NATASHA puts her head down and rubs her eyes in a remorseful
way.
STEPH
We end up playing around with each others feelings. Did you
not think Id find out?
NATASHA
Aa...
STEPH
Do you know what, just SHUT UP. I cant listen to you anymore.
I mean, Tia broke down crying, telling me everything and YOU,
youre just giving me excuses.
NATASHA places her hand on STEPHS cheek and rubs her thumb
across it.
STEPH throws her hand down and away from her cheek.

STEPH
I don't know what to say. This whole conversation was
pointless, (she smirked) what did you expect to achieve from
this?
Forgiveness?
Reconnection?
NATASHA
Is that what you want? Is that what you want?! For this to
just be...over?
STEPH
It ended a long time ago Natasha.
Ive gotta go.
STEPH reaches for her glasses on the table, gets up and
leaves.
NATASHA
No please Steph...wait!
STEPH leaves. The door closes behind her.
FADE OUT
