Time : Early noon, the beginning of fifteen minutes break
between two classes, few weeks  just before graduation. The
weather is nice but it's still chilly, clear sky, light
weather.
Setting : High school, the back of the central building,
crowed with teenagers. There's a buffet about 50 feet east
to the central building, and soccer field 20 feet south to
it.

eyes, about 6'0 and 170lbs. He has short hair, wears blue

and blue eyes, about 5'5 and 100 - 110lbs. Her hair is long

bright brown coat.
Minor characters :

Michael is sitting on the stairs in front of a soccer field
behind the central building along with Stan. They are
watching the game and talking.
Stan : So what do you think about the final exams schedule
?
Michael : It stinks, I can't believe that. They put Math
exam almost in the same date as Literature's. There's no
time for studying.
Stan : I know but who cares. I can't wait to get out of this
school.
Right near them, a gorgeous girl goes by, they don't know
her, but watching her with their eyes as she walks to the
buffet.
Stan : She's hot isn't she ?
Michael : She sure is, but I've someone else on my mind.
Stan : You mean some other girl on your mind. Who is the
honey ?
Michael : regretting he said that No one you know.
Stan : ignoring Michael's replay Is she from the class ?
Michael : No, there's no pretty girls in our class, you told
me that yourself.
Stan : You got that right. We have only nerds there. No
babes at all.
Michael : glad they changed the subject Tell me about it...
Michael sees Nicole going to the bench with Mary Jane, about
40 feet away. He is closely studying her face and hair.
Stan : At whom are you looking ?
Michael : Nobody, just thinking.
Stan : What is it with you today, you're acting weird. So
you got 93 instead of 100 in the test, so what ?
Michael :  turning his look from Nicole to Stan Shut up
Stan, it's not the test.
Stan : makes himself careless as if he doesn't want to know
what bothering Michael Did you see Fat Belly's a nickname
for Mr. Berkley, History teacher hat ? He's so f???ed up ,
no wonder everyone is laughing at him in school.
Mary Jane is leaving, Nicole stays sitting on the bench,
smoking a cigarette. Michael thinks about the way he could
get her to notice him, so they could talk. Suddenly Stan is
getting up from the stairs.
Stan : Are you coming ?
Michael : Why, the bell didn't ring yet .
Stan : What is going on with you ? The bell rang about two
minutes ago. Hello, where are you ??? Come on...
Michael : not moving a muscle Go on, I'll be right with you
in a second.
Stan : Ok man, have a nice time doing whatever you're
doing.
Stan is going to the class, as everyone else in the
schoolyard, Michael and Nicole are sitting still, both not
moving. Bunch of kids is still playing soccer. Michael is
looking right at Nicole.
Nicole : even though Mary Jane was gone a long time ago Wait
Mary Jane , I'm coming !
Michael gets up, down the steps running towards Nicole.
Michael : Wait Nicole, can we talk please ?
Nicole : very surprised, looking at something behind
Michael, but it disappears from the sight of her beautiful
eyes. Well you got my attention, what do you want to talk
about ?
Michael : very nervous Can we sit down please ?
Nicole : Oh why not, we already late for the Geography
class. Mrs. Johnson will not allow us to come in.
They both sit on the bench, where Nicole was sitting just a
few minutes ago.
Michael : Look Nicole ... slight pause
Nicole : ???
Michael : I don't know how to tell you this, so I better
just say it. Sigh I'm deeply in love with you Nicole.
Nicole : You what ?
Michael : I fell in love with you about a year ago, but I
just couldn't tell you how I feel about you before.
Nicole : Michael, I don't know what to say, now I'm kind of
remember how strange you were looking at me all the time.
Michael : And the worst part of it is that I love you just a
little bit  more with every day goes by. I thought I could
forget you, but as you see, I just can't. Sigh again, this
time from both of them.
Michael and Nicole are looking at each other, it is so quiet
that they only hear the kids' shouting voices coming from
the soccer field.
Michael : I'm not asking you to go out with me or something.
I know that you probably have a boyfriend.
Nicole : Michael...
Michael : interrupting her I just wanted to tell you this
because soon we both will graduate and I probably won't see
you ever again.
I'd to tell you that only now, because if I've had told you
sooner, I wouldn't be able to look you in the eyes without
you knowing how I feel... And your girlfriends ... I'd die
from humiliation.
Nicole : God, I never thought you feel this way. I'm
speechless.
Michael takes Nicole's hand in his, and holding it tight.
Michael : I'll remember this moment forever.
Nicole : You have guts... I don't know someone as you that
could have done such thing. We can be friends if you want
to.
They hear a bell and realize that they lost the track of
time. Michael sees Mary Jane coming right at them and his
dream fading away.
Nicole : It's Mary Jane, I've to go... sorry Michael.
Michael : desperate look on his face, almost whispering to
Nicole Wait ... Could you give me one last kiss, which would
be the first one also ?
Nicole : feeling sorry for the guy Ok, no problem..
Nicole's lips slowly approaching Michael's, almost like in
the slow motion. Finally, their lips are touching as Nicole
realizes that she can't let the kiss go. She puts her arms
around him, and Michael after slight delay does the same.
Their kiss is passionate and gentle.
Mary Jane : Wow... Guys...
Hearing Mary Jane they both stop kissing and break off their
hold. Neither Michael nor Nicole can say a thing.
Mary Jane : stunned, barely can talk too Nicole we should
go... now (!)
Nicole : with a big smile on her face Bye Michael ! Have a
nice vacation!
You have my number right? Call me sometimes.
Michael : knows she doesn't mean it but still almost faints
from the kiss bye... Nicole, you too ! As the girls turn
around and walk away, he crushes on the bench and closes his
eyes. In his imagination they are still kissing.
When Michael opens his eyes, he sees Stan in front of him,
his hands crossed on his chest, waiting.
Stan : Let's go Michael, it's all over.
Michael : still dreaming What's over ?
Stan : The school man, everything is over. He has seen the
kiss too but he still  pretends like he didn't see it. By
the way, where have you been all the lesson ?
Michael :  ignores Stan's question Hold on.. getting up from
the bench Come on.
Stan : Let is all go man, she's not for you.
Michael : I know, but you don't choose for whom you fell in
love with. Being adult means you have to deal with your
feelings, when the world is not perfect.
Stan : trying to cheer up When did you become such a smart
ass ?
Shouting We are out of here !!!
Michael takes his coat, he and Stan going to the exit gate,
and leave the school for the final and last time.

The End.
