Hey...Mornin'
STUDENT 2 (O.C.)
Morning, Did you pull an all-nighter?
STUDENT 1 (O.C.)
(sleepy)
Yeah, I did.
Clark is once again passed by Quiara and her pals, but he is too
absorbed in reading his book to notice.
STUDENT 3 (O.C)
Yooo, they opened the door!
Clark overhears this and immediately stands up and puts on his bag; he
leaves, and we show a book left on a table. A hand comes out and grabs
the book; we see who the hand belongs to as we slowly pan up to their
face, and we see Quiara.
Clark sits down after setting his backpack on his chair. He reaches
into his bag to take out his book, but there is nothing there. He
rummages through his bag before stopping abruptly and looking down.
CLARK (V.O.)
(sigh)
I left it downstairs, didn't I?
QUIARA
Is this yours?
CLARK
(relieved)
Oh, thank God! Thank you.
Clark tries to grab the book from Quiara, but she dodges his hands,
and his face crumples.
QUIARA
Can you help me with my math homework?
CLARK
What?
QUIARA
Teach me, and I'll give this back.
CLARK
Ah... Okay.
QUIARA
Perfect! Here you go.
Quiara gently gives the book back to Clark. Clark is relieved that he
finally got his book back.
Clark is about to open his mouth when suddenly the door opens.
SIR JEAN
Alright, class, settle down.
Clark and Quiara are sitting at a table, and Clark is teaching Quiara
a math equation.
CLARK
So you need to isolate X to get the answer.
QUIARA
So is this the right answer?
CLARK
Yeah.
QUIARA
You're really good at teaching.
CLARK
Thanks.
QUIARA
I mean it; I learned more from you than
from our math teacher.
CLARK
Well, that's because you're familiar with
it, and I just taught it to you again.
QUIARA
That's true.
CLARK
Do you still want to continue?
QUIARA
I think that's fine for today.
CLARK
Okay.
Clark puts his pieces of paper back into his bag and takes out his
book.
QUIARA
You really like reading, huh?
Clark
Yeah.

Quiara
What made you like reading?
CLARK
Because of my Mom. Everytime I went home
From school I would constantly nag her to
Read me a story.
Quiara
What book did she always read to you?
Clark
The Candles and the Butterfly
Quiara
What’s it about
Clark
It’s about a Girl-
Sir Jean
Are you guys busy?
Quiara
No, sir. Do you need something?
Sir jean
I need your help with something.
Clark
What is it, sir?
Sir jean
I need help carrying something.
Clark and Quiara are carrying a box filled with miscellaneous items.
Quiara puts down the box she is carrying and stops to take a breather;
Clark doesn't notice and continues walking.
QUIARA
(exhausted)
Wait!
Clark stops walking - looks at her, and starts walking toward her.
CLARK
Do you need help?
QUIARA
No, I'm fine.
CLARK
It doesn't seem like it.
QUIARA
Thanks... Are you sure you can carry all of
that?
CLARK
Yeah.
QUIARA
We still have three more floors to go, you
know.
QUIARA
Hey, wait! Let me at least take a
breather!
- SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 -
Clark, Quiara, and Mira are occupying a spot in the student lounge. On
their table are a bunch of books and other educational items.
QUIARA
I'm so tired.

Quiara puts her head down on the table. Quiara looks at Clark, who has
earbuds in his ears and is studying diligently.
QUIARA
Hey Clark.
Clark does not hear her. Quiara raises her head and shakes Clark's
hand.
QUIARA
Hey Clark.
CLARK
Yeah?
QUIARA
Do you want ice cream?
CLARK
Sure.
CLARK
Wait! At least let me clean my stuff.
QUIARA
Ahh, don't worry about it; Mira is here.
QUIARA
Mira, can you look over our stuff?
MIRA
No problem.
QUIARA
See, let's go. I want to eat ice cream.
CUT TO
Clark and Quiara are sitting next to each other, Quiara is eating ice
cream and Clark is watching her eat. Quiara then nudges Clark to try
her ice cream.
QUIARA
Here, Taste it.
CLARK
Okay.
CLARK
Ugh, yuck. What flavor is that?
QUIARA
Hahahaha.
Clark wipes his mouth. She sees Quiara laughing, and Clark becomes
dazed; he smiles while looking at her and then laughs with her.
CLARK (V.O.)
I never knew small moments like this could
bring me so much joy.
- SEPTEMBER 8, 2022 -
CLARK
(not angry)
Hey!
Clark removes Quiara's hand from his eyes, and when he looks at her,
she sees her laughing.
QUIARA
Sorry sorry, You were just so focused
hahaha.
CLARK (V.O.)
I'm confused about how these tiny moments
can give me so much joy.

- SEPTEMBER 9, 2022 -
Clark and Quiara are sitting next to each other, Quiara is laughing
her ass off, and she hits Clark's shoulder as she is laughing.
CLARK
Ow, that hurts!
QUIARA
Hahaha, I can’t.
CLARK (V.O)
I didn't notice it at first, but as I spent
more days with her, it became apparent to
me.
CLARK (V.O.)
I started wanting her company.
Clark is sitting alone in his seat when suddenly Quiara introduces her
friends (Axel and Jenny).
CLARK(V.O)
She taught me how to make friends.
Kio sees this and approaches them. He waves at them and talks,
He takes out a piece of gum from his pocket and gives it to everyone.
Kio’s friends see this and also join in; they start talking, Kio makes
a joke, everyone laughs, and we show Clark smiling happily.
CLARK (V.O)
Meeting her has been rewarding.

KIO
There you are.
After Kio gets the watch, he wears it and sits next to Clark, who is

Kio gives a high five to each of them. Kio, Axel, and Kenji’s voices
become muffled as we focus our attention on Clark’s watch.

somewhere and leaves.
Clark “Sorry I’ll be heading home, for now, maybe next time”

Clark is once again reading his book when suddenly he sees someone's
hand covering it. He looks up and sees Quiara.
Quiara "Surprised?"
As Quiara is about to open her mouth, Mr. Jean comes in and everyone
goes back to their seats.
Cut to:
Quiara "Sure.”

Quiara “...Yeah”
Quiara “well you’re the first person I’ve told outside my family”
Clark is silent.
Quiara “they told me that it gets worse when I don’t drink my meds,
but…”
Quiara “My family is struggling with the medical bills… and we can't
afford them anymore."
CLARK “Sorry…"
Clark stands up and offers his hand to help her up. She grabs it and
stands up.

Clark
Sure, I’ll just find a quiet place.
Clark
…Hey, why'd you get rushed to the hospital?
15
QUIARA
The doctors told me that too much plaque is
inside my arteries.
CLARK
Can they do anything to clear up the
plaques? Does medicine work?
QUIARA
Yes, but we do not have any money to afford
the medicine.
CLARK
Your health is more important.
QUIARA
I know but we can’t afford it
CLARK
I will find a way.
QUIARA
How? Clark, I don’t want to burden you with
this. My parents will find a way.
CLARK
You’re too important to me, I can’t just do
nothing while you’re here struggling.
CLARK
Let me help, Please
QUIARA
Okay, just remember that If you aren't able
to; it’s okay.
Clark
Okay…
Quiara
It should be your next class so I’ll end
this for now.
Clark
Bye.
QUIARA
Bye.
Clark ends the call and starts contemplating on what to do. Clark thinks of
his father and a thought appears.

Can I ask for a favor?
Clark
Can you pay for my Girlfriend’s medical bill?
Albert
Are you insane?
Clark
I’m not insane, Dad.
Albert
Then tell me a good reason as to why I should.
Clark
I’ll...
Albert
See, you can't, so stop wasting my time.
Clark
Or else I will expose your wrongdoings.
CLark
Which will damage your reputation that you care so
dearly about.
Albert snickers

Albert
Since when did you grow balls to talk to me like that?
Albert
Alright, I’ll pay for it.
Albert
But under one condition.

QUIARA
Haha.
CLARK
How's your health?
QUIARA
If I'm being honest, it's pretty bad
CLARK
How bad?
QUIARA
They said if I don't take any medication, I might need
surgery but…

QUIARA

CLARK
but-
QUIARA
Look, you’ve helped me in more ways than
one, Having you to talk with during this
Hard moment in my life is already enough
For me so don’t go saying that you haven’t
Helped me.
CLARK
... I really can’t win an argument against
you.
Quiara
Isn’t that one of the reasons why you like
me so much?
Clark
(Laughs and then sighs)
Anyways I think our next Class
is about to start.
Quiara
Okay, Ba-bye
Clark
Bye.
Clark ends the call and turns off his phone. He clenches his fist and
looks scornfully at the door that Albert just got out from.
Kenji, Sean, Jenny, and Kio talk to each other. They are talking about
Quiara and Clark. Axel and Clark are not around.
KENJI
Don’t you think that Clark is acting
strange lately?
JENNY
Yeah, he seems troubled about something.
KIO
I think it's about Quiara. I heard she
doesn’t have the money to pay her medical
bills.
19
JENNY
Really? I feel bad for her.
KENJI
Maybe we can do something?
SEAN
JENNY
Maybe we can do a fundraising campaign for
Quiara?
KIO
That’s a good idea.
JENNY
I’ll ask Sir Jean if we can go around the
school and ask for any donations.
KENJI
Let’s do that!
JENNY
Okay, let’s do this!

ORAL RECITATION
In this scene, the teacher will ask his students what is the meaning
of the philosophies written on the board while Quiara is not paying
attention to the discussion.
MR. JEAN
Okay class, so what is the meaning of this?
MR. Jean is pointing his finger at the first philosophy. Kio raises
his hand and stands up.
KIO
The meaning of that is that love is not the
thing that we
See. We must feel love in order to see it.
MR.JEAN
Okay, very good.
Kio sits.
MR.JEAN
Okay, so what does the second philosophy
mean?
JENNY
25
MR.JEAN
Okay, very good, how about you Clark? What
is the meaning
of the third passage?
CLARK
That means that being in love is a great
feeling and can’t
Be expressed on simple words, and because
of that, it makes us
Poets
CLARK
Also, we are afraid of our loved ones
dying, which makes us
Philosophers because it leaves us with
trouble and many
Questions.
MR.JEAN
Okay, Quiara, what is the meaning of the
last passage?
MR.JEAN
Quiara?
QUIARA
The meaning of the last passage sir is that
those who are
Hardest to love deserve the most because
when you love
Someone who is hard to love, eventually
they will be
easier to love.
26
QUIARA
All they need is someone who can love them
so that they can
Love others too.
MR. CONCEPCION
Very good Quiara. This concludes our
meeting for today.
Goodbye class.

CLARK
There is nothing we should talk about!
QUIARA
Then why are you distancing yourself from
