*The next day at school Jessica walking the hallway feeling happy as she talks to herself*

Jessica: You can do it if you try Jessica! I'm gonna go brag to him! *walks to the music room at school* Enzo? Darn.

*Outside of school Enzo sees Drake*

Drake: Hey! Where do you think you're going?

Enzo: No way! I'll only be a third wheel!

Drake: You're checking in, right? My Karly is waiting. *opens the door to Karly's Hospital room* Happy New Year! *waving at Karly*

Karly: Happy New Year! *waves back at Drake smiling and sees Enzo* Hey, you, just because you made it through the prelims, don't think you can afford to get cocky and loiter here! Go practice, you loser!

Enzo: You're the one who told me to stop by!

Drake: *sits by Karly* Today at school, see...

Karly: Yes, yes?

Drake: This one girl said she's going to an all girls school.

Karly: Okay?

Drake: I guess all girls schools are kind of glamorous, huh?

Karly: What? I don't know about that.

Drake: Well, you'd fit right in Karly! At an all girls school!

Karly: What? You think so?

Drake: Yeah, yeah, yeah!

*Enzo walking home as he remembers what Jessica said to him*

Jessica: Karly likes Drake, you know.

Enzo: A girl who likes my best friend. I'm a voyeur and a substitute and a bag handler and a guitarist and an accompanist and... I'm not Drake.

*The next day Enzo and Jessica walking to the Hospital to visit Karly again*

Jessica: Going to the hospital today?

Enzo: Yeah. She orders me to check in with her regularly, the she says if I have time to go, I should practice. Which is it?

*Jessica sees Drake walking towards the hospital*

Jessica: Drake... Drake came to see Karly too?

Enzo: Jessica... Looks like it's gonna rain. Let's head home today, huh?

Jessica: I can smell the rain. Hey, here it comes! It's coming down!

Enzo: *gets soda at the vending machine* Here.

Jessica: Thanks. I wish it would just snow instead.

Enzo: You'd only wish that until it piled up.

Jessica: If the snow had its own flavor, we'd have world peace, huh?

Enzo: If our tap water was lemonade it would eradicate the common cold.

Jessica: Talking like we always do... The banter... joking around... Suddenly having to take shelter from the rain.

Enzo: That's a cute handkerchief you're using, Jessica.

Jessica: A boy right next to me.

Enzo: You're like a girl, Jessica.

Jessica: Liar, I know you didn't want to. To go see Karly because Drake was there.

Enzo: That's not it.

Jessica: Liar.

Enzo: Well, I didn't think we should get in their way. When it could just be the two of them.
