WE MEET AGAIN...

Luna-  (with a gentle smile): Drix, what... what are you doing here

Drix-  Maybe it's the same reason you're here.

Luna-  Haha, you really haven't changed.

Drix- By the way, where’s Cindy? It looks like she’s not with you?

Luna-  (looking outside): Oh, Cindy? There she is.

Drix-  Wait, is she asleep?

Luna- (scratching her head): Maybe she got tired.

Drix-  Tired? (hands payment to the cashier)

Luna-  Cindy, are you sleeping? Psst.

Drix- (chuckling)

Luna-  I need to tell you something. Hey, are you okay?

Cindy- (with her eyes still closed): Why? You took forever to buy water, I’m getting sleepy.

Luna-  Because... Wait, sit up, you’re not at home.

Drix-  Let me try.

Luna-  (smiling):

Drix- (whispering): Hi, Cindy, how are you? It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Didn’t you miss me?

Cindy-  Luna, are you there?

Luna-  Yeah, why?

Cindy-  I dreamed about Drix... He asked me if I missed him.

Luna- You dreamed about Drix? But he’s right in front of you.

Cindy-  Stop messing with me, he wouldn’t show up to me.

Drix- But I’m here. (leans in)

Cindy slowly opens her eyes...

Cindy- Drix? (suddenly shy) ouch...

Luna-  Did your leg go numb?

Cindy-  Yes.

Drix-  Do you want me to massage it?

Cindy-  (blushing): Huh, no, that’s not necessary.

Luna-  (laughing): You’re something else.

Cindy-  (in a low voice): Don’t laugh.

Drix- So, is your leg feeling better now?

Cindy-  Huh? Oh, yeah, it’s probably just tired. We’ve been walking for a while.

Drix-  Where did you guys come from?

Luna- We were supposed to go somewhere, but it didn’t push through because of those...

Cindy-  Oh, it’s nothing. We were just out strolling around.

Drix-  Is that so?

Luna-  (looking at Drix)

Drix- So, what now? Do you have any other plans?

Luna- I’m not sure. It depends on Cindy since she’s the one paying.

Cindy-  Luna?!

Drix- Is that true?

Luna- Yeah, if you want, we could have lunch since it’s almost 11.

Drix-  I’m fine with it, if Cindy is okay with it too.

Luna-  Why wouldn’t she be? There’s no reason for her to refuse, right?

Cindy-  Like I have a choice between the two of you.

Drix- (laughing): So, shall we go?

Luna-  Where’s a good place? Somewhere with a nice breeze would be good.

Cindy-  You’re the one full of hot air.

Drix- So, what are you doing these days, Cindy? We’re on break, right?

Cindy-  Yeah, I just want to rest for now.

Luna-  You two are walking so slowly.

Drix-  (laughing): We’ll walk faster.

Cindy- How about you?

Drix-  I’ll probably do the same, just rest for now.

Cindy- But I’m thinking, it would be a waste to stop for a year since we’re so close to graduating.

Drix-  That’s true, but it’s up to you.

Cindy-  We’ll see.

Luna- You guys are so slow, are you on a date?

Drix-  Is this a date?

Cindy-  Huh? (What is this? Why is my heart racing?)

Luna- It’s okay, you’re blushing.

Drix- Where do you guys want to eat?

Luna- I want to try Chowking.

Drix-  Sure, let’s eat there. Is that okay with you, Cindy?

Luna- Cindy, he’s asking you.

Cindy-  Huh? Oh, yeah, I’m fine with anywhere.

Luna- Is something wrong with you?

Drix- I’ll place the order.

Luna-  Okay.

Cindy-  Huh?

Drix-  Do you want to add anything?

Cindy- No, I’m good.

Luna-  I do, I want to add something.

Cindy-  Then you should go up there.

Luna-  Just wait here for us. Are you sure you don’t want anything else?

Cindy-  Yeah, I’m sure.

Drix-  What did she say?

Luna-  She said she doesn’t want anything, but I know what her favorite is.

While Drix and Luna are ordering, Cindy is left alone at the table.

**Cindy**- I’m confused. I didn’t realize I was good at lying... I thought I had moved on from you, Drix, but... when I saw you, your smile, and the way you talk to me... I like all of it, I really like everything you do. I didn’t expect my heart to start beating this fast again when I saw you. Now it’s clear to me... I haven’t been able to forget you.
