Context: After some years you're back on your hometown for a holiday and while your wandering around the mall, you meet an old classmate who you used to be friends with and things between you guys hadn't ended in the best of ways. Nevertheless, he wants to catch up with you. Will you give him a chance or old relationships are better in the past?

Hey! Hey, excuse me! Hi, hm... are you...?

(...)

Oh my God, you are! Hi, how are you? It's been so long, right? It's... it's good to see you.

(...)

You can't talk right now because you're busy? Oh... I see.

Ok, bye then...

(...)

Hey, wait! I know you said you're busy but... I was hoping we could, I don't know, catch up, you know? For old times sake.

(...)

Yeah, I know that we... weren't friends anymore by the end of highschool, but it's in the past you know? Maybe we can start again?

(...)

Pleeeeeease? Pretty please?

(...)

[Speaker laughs]

Yes, I still am a master when it comes to doing the puppy eyes.

(...)

I know, that's why I did it! So, did it work?

(...)

Yes! Thank you! I promise you're not going to regret it.

That coffee shop we used to go to study is still open, should we go there?

(...)

Ok, let's go!

So, did you cut your hair? Yeah, it looks great! I'm serious! [Speaker's voice disapears as transition to next scene in the coffee shop]

...and then I said that in the job interview and they were completely dumbfounded! Yeah! [Speaker laughs]

I thought they wouldn't call me back but they did, and now I am working there since. It has been three whole years.

(...)

Yeah, I think they liked my creative answers and my charming smile! [Speaker says with a cocky voice tone]

(...)

Hey, I do have a charming smile!

(...)

Shut up, you're just jealous!

[Speaker laughs]

So, tell me, are you still friends with Karen and Chad?

(...)

No? Me neither, to be honest.

After me and you stopped talking, I kinda just stopped talking to them as well, after some weeks.

(...)

Oh, yeah! I heard it! They're getting married to each other.

So, you didn't heard this from me, but aparently, they're just getting married because Chad got Karen pregnant and their families are forcing them to marry.

(...)

Yeah, you know how their parents are "old school" and all that.

Were you invited?

(...)

No? I wasn't invited either.

(...)

Exactly, I wouldn't go either, even if they invited me!

Sooooo, changing the subject, do you want to know something only I know about Chad?

(...)

I don't like gossiping! I just... oh, who do I want to trick? I do like to gossip!

But you like it too! We used to gossip all the time in our study sessions! You loved it!

(...)

Ah yes! As I was saying, there is something only I know about Chad. He used to work in the same place as me, but he got fired. He told everyone he got fired because a newbie did a mistake in one of the projects and he decided to take the blame to save the newbie, but it was the other way around, actually! He did the mistake and tried to blame it on the newbie. Our boss saw through his bullshit and fired him on the spot, in front of all the employees!

It was quite a day, really!

No one really liked him there, because he loved to start drama, so we were pretty happy when we saw the whole thing go down.

(...)

You know something about Karen too? Yes, of course I want to know! Tell me!

(...)

Yes, the cheerleader who got sick on the most important day of the game, right? I think she had an allergic reaction to her makeup, all of a sudden?

(...)

Are you serious? Karen did that?

(...)

God, is she crazy?! She could've killed that girl! An alergic reaction can be so dangerous!

(...)

I didn't know she was capable of things like this. I'm glad I didn't accept her confession to me when we were in highschool.

(...)

Yeah, you didn't know? She did it some weeks after... me and you got distant from each other.

(...)

Chad confessed to you too? Wow, I had no idea.

(...)

I see... that's kinda weird. He never told me he had feelings for you.

Wait... something just came to my mind.

(...)

Well, do you remember why we stopped hanging out together?

I asked you on a date and you agreed. Then, some days after that, Chad came to me and said that you only said yes because you pittied me. Because I got dumped by all my ex girlfriends all the time.

Then I called you and... canceled our date.

(...)

Karen said what?! She said that I only invited you on a date because I pittied you because no one never asked you out?!

(...)

Of course she was lying! I was completely in love with you! That's why I asked you out!

That's why... I was so sad when Chad told me that.

That's why I didn't even want to see you and ask you if it was true.

I think I was too afraid to ask you about it, only for you to confirm it.

But it wasn't true, right?

(...)

You were afraid too? God, I am so sorry!

We were played by our own friends! I can't believe this!

All this time I thought you only saw me as a dumbass who couldn't keep a girlfriend.

(...)

No, I never saw you as a weirdo! I had the biggest crush on you!

God, I... I still do.

I was so happy when I saw you on the mall today.

I thought to myself that maybe that was my chance to show you that I am worth your time, and not just a pitiable lonely guy.

(...)

I know, I saw it in your eyes that you weren't really happy to see me. It was because of what Karen said to you?

(...)

But it was a lie, I promise!

(...)

Oh, thank God you believe me.

I should've gone to you and I should've asked you about it. I should have made things clear between us.

I'm really sorry. Do you... forgive me?

(...)

Yes, of course I forgive you too!

But, seriously, why were we friends with those terrible people?!

(...)

[Speaker laughs]

Yes, we were dumb kids back then, I agree.

Let's forget about those assholes and start over, what do you think?

They're not here to manipulate us and lie to us, so let's do what we couldn't do at that time.

(...)

Yeah? Really? Thank you so much!

[Speaker gives a kiss on listener's cheek]

Oh, sorry! I... I just got really excited because you said yes and...

[Listener interrupts speaker with a kiss on the lips]

Oh... that was... oh...

[Speaker laughs, happy and embaressed]

Yes, I think we're even now.

So, do you have time now or do you have to go? We could watch a movie, go grab dinner... go to my house, maybe, if you want, and... talk more, if you know what I mean...

(...)

Yeah? Okay, deal! Let's go then.

I am really glad I decided to go to the mall today!

(...)

You too?

Well, I'm happy to hear it.

Come here.

[They kiss again, this time a longer kiss]

I can't wait to catch up more with you... [Speaker whispers]

THE END
