HANYA: This is your third time being late, keep this up and you won’t have a job.

- Camera zooms in and freezes on her -

JENNY (VOICEOVER): This is Hanya Miller, my best friend, coworker, and headache. 

 - JENNY turns to her -

JENNY (VOICEOVER):  And that’s me, Jennifer Baker, an art major at FAU, romantic virgin, and sarcastic freak.

JENNY:  I know *sluggish*

- JENNY grabs a book hands it to HANYA and checks it off the clipboard -

JENNY: The deadline for my final is coming up but I haven’t been able to draw anything.

HANYA: Well, what inspires you?

-JENNY reaches for another book meeting the gaze of JAMES across the bookshelf -

JENNY: Eyes.

HANYA: Eyes? *Questioned look*

JENNY: Take over. *Quickly hands over the clipboard and book*

- JENNY rushes over to the other side of the shelf where she walks over to the bookshelf glancing at James -

JAMES: Can I help you?

- Camera zooms in and freezes on him-

JENNY (VOICEOVER): This is James Wilson, and though I didn’t know it at the time, he would change my life forever. 

JENNY: Sorry?

JAMES: You keep looking at me.

JENNY: Uh..*Stutters* Weird question…Could I draw you?

JAMES: What..? *Confused*

JENNY: Specially your eyes, you have lovely eyes, not that the rest of you is hideous or anything — in fact God spent his time with you(slows down and drags) it’s for my art final. (spamming)

- JAMES tilts his head, thinking -

JAMES: What’s in it for me?

JENNY: I can give you a discount on all books you buy.

JAMES: How about you let me film you? For a project.

JENNY: Are you a Perv?

JAMES: *Coughs* Not that type of film. We get to complete both of our projects by the end of the month, it’s a win-win situation.

JAMES: So, Deal? *Extends his hand*

-JENNY gives a questionable look -

JENNY: Deal.

SCENE 2

JAMES: Maybe I am.

- JENNY pauses -

JAMES: And ACTION! 

-Montage of them at Tree Trail stops at bridge -

JENNY(VOICEOVER): I had learned a lot about him. He wanted to study filmmaking in some fancy program. He wants to Travel the world, recording everything on his camera and his smile is something i’ll always drown in. I liked him.

JAMES: And…that’s it.

JENNY: That’s it. *Out of daze*

JAMES: So I was thinking- *gets cut off*

JENNY: Well, this was an amazing couple of weeks, but it’s time to part ways. I hope this project gets you into that film program.

JAMES: Uh, same for you, I hope you pass your final.

- JENNY smiles before walking past him -

JENNY: I’m sorry, we should totally be talking about the political and economic state of the world right now *Sarcastic tone*

AARON: United Kingdom here you come.

- JAMES still shows no form of excitement -

LANI: What’s with that look?

JAMES: I didn’t tell Jenny.

LANI: I told you not to get involved with that girl.

JAMES: You like me but you're scared to admit that.

JENNY: Your ridiculous.

JAMES: Then why did you kiss back, matter of fact why do you shut down every time I try and talk about the kiss.

JENNY: I-

JAMES: You want to talk about things being a game, half the time I don’t know which Jennifer i’m gonna get the one that’s into me or the one that pushes me away.

- Silence grows between them -

JAMES: I’m not throwing away my dream for you, Jenny but I also can’t bear losing you.

JENNY(VOICEOVER): And even in this moment, I still couldn’t say what I wanted to cause even if those three words left my mouth he still would leave.
