Different Side
Zachariah Lee
What do you want, Lyrics? I’m clearly occupied.
Zachariah turns around, not expecting a new face to talk to him.
Evelynne Rose
Can we talk?
Zachariah Lee
Oh! Eve! My bad. I thought you were someone else.
What’s up?
Evelynne hesitates, not wanting to mutter a word.
Zachariah Lee
Ah, so it’s that.
Zachariah Lee
As much as I respect you, I do not want to date anyone.
Evelynne Rose
What? No! It’s not that! It’s a different thing.
Zachariah thought:
”I’ve never seen that expression on her face before.”
Evelynne Rose
Swear you won’t tell anyone?
Zachariah Lee
That’s not Eve. Who are you?
Zachariah Lee
Where is she?
Evelynne Rose
Drop it.
Just please hear me out.
Zachariah Lee
Okay, okay.
Just shocked.
Zachariah Lee
I didn’t know this side of you existed.
Evelynne Rose
Will you listen to me now?
Zachariah thought:
”She’s different from usual. It’s pretty funny.”
Zachariah Lee
I’m all ears.
Evelynne Rose
I need you to be—
Evelynne Rose
I need you to do something for me.
Evelynne Rose
A simple request.
Zachariah Lee
Oh no! What’s that?
Evelynne Rose
You’re friends with Denver right?
Evelynne Rose
It’s about .. Him.
Evelynne Rose
To sum it up ..
Evelynne Rose
It’s about Denver.
Zachariah sulks in a sarcastic and playful manner.
Zachariah Lee
What’s a beautiful, wonderful and um .. Exquisite woman like you— doing liking Denvie?
Evelynne Rose
Zachariah ..
Evelynne Rose
How’d you know I was gonna say that I liked him?
Zachariah Lee
I had a hunch.
Evelynne Rose
There’s something I want you to do.
Zachariah Lee
Yeah? Fine. What’s that?
Zachariah Lee
Miss Eve, what would the compensation for my efforts be if I do help you?
Evelynne pauses, and contemplates deeply.
Evelynne Rose
About that ..
An hour later // School Hallways
Zachariah Lee
Yeah, I pinky promise I really will catch up with you later.
Angel Lyrisse
I don’t trust you one bit. Junkie.
Angel turns away from Zachariah, when Evelynne passes by and the papers she is bringing eventually gets blown away by the sudden wind from the open window.
Zachariah Lee
Eve! Let me help you.
Zachariah thought:
”Why is she suddenly so cold now?
Like a whole new person in public.”
Zachariah Lee
Why are you so mean to me right now?
Zachariah Lee
Hmph.
I will really really be super duper sad.
Evelynne suddenly approaches Zachariah’s neck; Her breath touches his skin.
Evelynne Rose
I do not, not even in the slightest, be want to be caught dead talking to you.
Zachariah Lee
But we’re batchmates! Student Council buddies!
Evelynne Rose
Zachariah, we can talk about audits and important programs.
Not about .. Nonsense.
Evelynne Rose
Argh, that’s another thing to explain.
If you wanna talk to me so casually, do so in a private room.
Zachariah Lee
What about the Student Council’s room? Talk to me there.
Zachariah Lee
Again, why not?
Evelynne Rose
I’m on cleaning duty with my group today.
Zachariah Lee
Denver is as well.
Evelynne Rose
What do you mean?
Zachariah Lee
He’s in cleaning duty too.
You’ll be able to talk to him.
Evelynne Rose
You know what ..
Evelynne sweats, and turns back on her words.
Evelynne Rose
Fine.
I’ll have to write my excuse.
Evelynne Rose
Don’t you make me wait around, understood?
Zachariah Lee
Roger that, ma’am.
Zachariah Lee
I’ll see you then.
Zachariah thought:
”I don’t even know Denver that well to know his schedule.
I thought she’d atleast be observant enough to notice that lie of mine.”
Teacher
Be sure to study for the test tomorrow.
Everyone yells:
”Yes, ma’am!”
The teacher leaves the classroom.
Zachariah thought:
”It’s Angel.
She hasn’t looked at my direction since earlier.
Is she upset?”
Angel Lyrisse
Don’t even ”Yo” me, moron.
Zachariah Lee
Haha, are you upset?
Angel Lyrisse
Who wouldn’t be!
Zachariah Lee
Look, something came up.
I’m sowwy, weawy sowwy.
Zachariah Lee
I’ll just help you print it out.
Evelynne Rose
That’s what I wanted you to do!
Evelynne Rose
Why do you think I made you go to the Teacher’s Faculty?
Evelynne Rose
I waited there awkwardly while the teachers all passed by me asking me what I was doing infront of their room.
Evelynne Rose
I actually hate you.
Zachariah Lee
I’ll do the reporting then.
Evelynne Rose
I’m dog-poo at that, so thanks.
The classroom door slides open, Evelynne has entered the classroom.
She seems to be looking around in the classroom for someone.
Vivienne Laurent
Hey, Miss Rose!
Vivienne Laurent
Zach and Miss Rose?
Zachariah subconsciously ignores Evelynne’s call from laughing too much.
Angel Lyrisse
Yo, look, the Pres is looking for you.
Stop laughing.
Zachariah Lee
Bro, seriously? Pres? Press the button?
Evelynne, clearly pissed, steps in the classroom— Stunning everyone, leaving them all curious.
