_Well, the characters/my friends are back. New and improved since I’m seeing them again._

_(Scene starts at lunch)_

**_Diva_**: Do you like my hair?

**_Emo, Honey Bear, Hollow_**: WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT?

_(Diva grins and cocks her head)_

**_Diva_**: I already told you guys. _(She points to her head, scooping a spoonful of guacamole into her mouth)_ Thin hair; kept picking it; Pixie Cut.

“Small pieces. Details in pictures. You don’t see all the colors.”

“That’s because I _can’t_.”

“But you can. You’re just taught not to see it.”

“But I could_ never _see_ _it._”_

“I know it seems hard.”

“It’s more than just hard, it’s impossible.”

“Just relax.”

“But I _can’t_.”

“Deep breaths. In. Out.”

“But it doesn’t work. Nothing works.”

“It does. Right now you’re just looking at the st...

“Do you remember?”

“Yes.”

“Are you scared?”

“Everyone is scared.”

“Are you?”

“Yes.”

“Do you miss it?”

“Yes.”

“Will I?”

“I don’t know.”

“Why can’t it be that way again?”

“Because, it doesn’t work that way.”

“How come it can’t work that way?”

“Ask the crickets.”

“What will they tell me?”

“That the sun doesn’t ever only set once.”

“Is it always setting?”

“Yes.”

“What does that mean for tomorrow?”

“Wh...

“Mother, why do the stars light up the sky?”

“To guide you home whenever you are lost.”

“Mother, why does the wind whip in my face?”

“To fill your nose with natures most precious scents.”

“Mother, why does the bird let the fledgling fall when learning to fly?”

“So it knows that failure is the first step to success.”

“Mother, why does the sun set and the sky get dark?”

“So you know that even in you...

Father, father, look at the sky!

The sun and the water, as I fly so high!

I see it my boy, it is exquisite

We’re finally free, so don’t fly too high

I can’t lose you now, I can’t watch you die

Yes, father, I won’t fly too high

I’ll only chase the sun, it’s beautiful,

Oh my! Looks at its rays!

As they shine so bright!

You can’t ever see this, in the nights on Crete

I know my boy, it’s very ...

“I can’t do this. I can’t feel myself!”

“Just breathe. Calm down and everything will be okay.”

“That’s not how it works! And don’t tell me everything will be okay when you don’t know! You don’t know what happened and what’s going to happen. So don’t tell me that it will all be okay when you don’t know! No! Don’t touch me!”

“I’m just trying to help you.”

“I don’t need your help! You can’t help ...

"Do you trust me?" she asked, eyes dark with doubt.

"I want to," he replied, "but shadows linger about."

"Why question my love, when my heart's in your hands?"

"I see whispers and glances, like shifting sands."

"Whispers are nothing, just the wind in the trees."

"But the wind stirs the leaves, and it stirs my unease."

"Can you not see past the shadows to the light?"

"Your light's dimmed by the ...

“Tell me, what did I do wrong?”

“You know what happened,

you know why everyone’s gone.”

“Oh? So it’s my fault your soul is blackened?”

“That’s not what I meant!

You held the keys to her heart,

and you broke it to the extent!”

“I want to restart.”

“Tell me why you did it.”

“You want honesty?

I admit,

I did it for modesty.”

“What does that mean?”

“I didn’t want to be with someone so great.”

“She’...

“H-Hi L-L-Layla!”

“Hey, Pierce right? Um- your from my biology?”

“No- Maths. Pierce is my brother. I’m Jakob.”

“Oh, sorry.”

“….”

“….What was it you wanted to ask about?”

“I- Um. It’s just- ……”

“Hello?”

“You’rereealycuteandIwantedtoknowifyouwantedtohangoutsometimeifnotitsokandImeanreallyokjustasking.”

"Darling, I've loved you from the start,

With you, I feel a fire in my heart."

"But my heart is torn, for another I yearn,

In his embrace, my soul does churn."

"Pray tell, who is this other you adore?

For in my heart, I long for more."

"He is a poet, with words so sweet,

His verses enchant, they make my heart beat."

"Ah, the poet's words may be divine,

But it's your touch that makes me pin...
