I Thought It Was My Moment

Walkie-talkie channel - Operation: Confession

Rico

(on radio)

Rico

Alright, Romeo. Targets heading toward the library courtyard

Lena

(on radio)

Lena

You're good Zayn? Deep breaths. You're not just confessing–you'r declaring war on fear itself

Zayn

(whispers)

Zayn

Y'all not helping my nerves

Rico

You got the flowers?

Zayn

Yeah. Her favorite–white tulips

Lena

Classic and sincere. Okay, go. She's right there

Library courtyard - in person

Zayn

Aria!

Aria

Oh hey, Zayn. What's up?

Zayn

I....I've liked you. For a really long time. Like, since we were kids. I've followed you around not just 'cause you're amazing, but because....

Zayn

You mean something to me

Zayn

So–would you.... Go out with me?

Aria

(smiles softly)

Aria

Zayn....

Aria

You're sweet. And brave. But....

Zayn

But?

Aria

There's someone else

Aria

I already like someone, and... He's actually going to confess to me after school today

Aria

I,m really sorry, Zayn

Zayn

(stunned silence)

Zayn

....oh

Crowd nearby

Muffled laughter, whisper

"yikes"

"that's rough"

"he just got wrecked"

Private chat - later that evening

Lena

Zayn... I,m so sorry

Zayn

It's fine

Rico

You don't have to pretend, man

Rico

That looked brutal

Zayn

She wasn't mine. Never was

Zayn

Just sucks realizing that after all this time

Lena

Take your time

Lena

Were still here, okay?

Zayn
