*Bright’s friends excuses themselves and walk away leaving the two of them alone.

 

Bright: *cold tone* I don’t have anything to talk to you about. *turns his back away from her and faces his locker*

 

*Stella slams her hand against the locker preventing him from doing so.

 

Stella: Bright, I’m serious, we need to talk.

Why are you suddenly being like this?
Can you at least tell me what’s up?

 

Bright: *angry tone* What do we need to talk about, huh?
What do I need to talk about with you?
 

Stella: What’s with you?
You haven’t been like this before.

Talk to me, babe.

I need to know.

I’m your girlfriend, aren’t I?

 

Bright: You’re not my girlfriend, what are you talking about?

 

Stella: What?

Are you kidding me?

Are you playing with my heart, Bright?

 

Bright: We never dated all this time!

You were nothing but-

 

*But before Bright could finish what he was saying, Stella slaps his face in anger. 

 

Stella: How dare you treat me like this!

Why are you doing this to me?

Is our relationship really nothing to you?

 

Bright: *looks at her and coldly says* Yes our relationship is nothing to me.

 

Stella: That’s it!

I had enough of this, Bright.

If you’re not going to be sincere to me anymore it looks like I have no choice to say this-

We’re over!!

 

*Bright punches his locker wall out of his anger and regret with tears down his face.

 

Bright's mind: , goddammit!
Why did I get myself into this mess?

WHY??? 

 

*Stella stomps away and pushes her way through the crowded hallway earning surprised looks from fellow students. Tears fall down her face.

 

Stella’s mind: If you really wanted to play with my feelings for all this time then it’s for the best if I forget about you but-

But how come my heart doesn’t listen to me?

Am I really worth nothing to you?

 

*Stella wipes the tears pouring down her face but she accidentally bonks into someone. She looks up and recognizes the figure. It’s-

 

Win: P’Stella, is that you?
Are you okay?
What’s the matter?

 

*Stella doesn’t say anything but pulls herself into his embrace. He pats her back comforting her.

 

Win: There there it’s okay.

It’s okay.

 

Later…

 

*Stella sits on the bench wiping the tears off her face. Win hands her a carton of chocolate milk.

 

Win: Maybe something sweet will cheer you up. 

 

Stella: T-Thank you. *sniffles*

 

*Stella pokes the straw through the hole and takes a small sip. Win sits down beside her.

 

Win: Why were you crying, hm?

 

Stella: Bright, that’s what!!!

He has been treating me cold for no reason at all!

I tried to talk to him today but-

*bawls*

He started being cold to me again and got angry at me.

He said he never loved me!

He never loved me!

I don’t understand why he would date me in the first place if he never loved me!

How dare he plays with my feelings?

 

*Suddenly Win pulls her into his embrace and hugs her without saying anything else. She gets flustered.

 

Stella’s mind: What the-

 

*Win the back of her head and says-

 

Win: I’m sorry about what you had to go through.

You deserve happiness in your life.

So it’s okay just move on.

You’ll find a better guy than him. 

 

*Stella bawls into tears crying her heart out-

 

Stella: But how am I going to move on when he’s been in my heart in the first place?

Why does he have to break my heart like this?

Why? 

 

*Bright watches this from a distance and sighs.

 

Bright’s mind: I’m sorry, P’Stella, I’m sorry for everything.

You don’t deserve a guy like me.

I’m clearly not good enough for you so hope you find someone else better than me.

Someone that would make you truly happy.

 

*Bright walks away. Just then Rose sees Win and Stella hugging one another and she sighs. 

 

Rose’s mind: I gave you a chance to win my heart but,

You’ll never love me,

For your heart belonged to someone else.

It’ll never be me.

 

*A tear falls down Rose’s face. She quickly wipes it off and walks away. 

 

*Stella looks at Win as he wipes the tears off her cheeks. He looks at her for a while before he pulls her into another embrace. Stella gets flustered.

 

Stella’s mind: What the-

 

Stella: Win, what are you doing? I-

 

Win: *blurts out his confession* Can’t it at least be me?

Can you at least give me a chance to shake your heart just once?

 

Stella: What?
