Olivia & Layla's room

Layla is in front of her mirror, touching up her makeup, as she prepares to go out. Olivia came in.

Olivia: Girl, you are looking good.

Layla: (smiles) Thank you, going to meet Spencer.

Olivia: Oh! I see, you guys are finally getting along.

Layla: I know it is just a matter of time. He will look my way.

Olivia: (smiles) I am happy for you.

Layla: Thanks friend. (she winks at her as she grabs her purse.)

Olivia saw a glass cup on Layla's mini table and remembers she had drank something the night she was supposed to see Spencer.

Olivia: Layla, please can i ask you a question?

Layla: Liv, can't it wait? I don't want to be late....pleaseee

Olivia: Okay. Have fun.

Layla: Thank you, I will.

Layla left the room...Olivia decides to call Simone and inform her about what she just remembered.

Olivia: Hey girl

Simone: Hi, did you forget anything?

Olivia: Yes, I actually did. But I might probably be overthinking.

Simone: What is it?

Olivia: I remembered while I was dressing up to go meet Spencer, Layla offered me a drink.

Simone: Okay. sooo

Olivia: Simone, I slept off

Simone: Are you insinuating Layla?

Olivia: (cuts her short) that is the thing, Layla is a lot of things, but I don't think she will do such. She wasn't even aware it was Spencer I was going to see.

Simone: Hmmm, are you sure? Why don't you ask her?

Olivia: I tried, but I really don't want to ruin our friendship with such silliness. Both of us had always fought for men. I am not doing this with her this semester.

Simone: I still think you should ask, cause if she actually did, girl, I am sorry to say; you need to get another room; she is clearly not your friend. Ask her Olivia.

Olivia: (sighs) Okay, I will. Thank you.

Slauson's cafe

Spencer and Layla walked in, holding each other's hands.

Layla: I am happy we are finally doing this.

Spencer; Doing what? (looks at her)

Layla: (smiles) getting to know each other without it looking forced.

Spencer: (laughs) maybe I was just taking my time, still trying to find my way in this school, so going into any type of relationship will be too soon.

They both sat in their seats as they placed their order.

Layla: I will have whatever he is having. (she told the waiter)

Spencer: (smiles) so what's up with you Layla?

Layla: Honestly, I don't know. Ever since Asher and I broke up, I have been kind of lonely, but I am willing to put myself out there. You, have you been in a relationship before?

Spencer: (nodded) sure it ended before I transferred here though.

Layla: Awww too bad

Spencer: Yea, but I don't want to talk about it. (he smiled).

The both of them kept talking...

Coach Baker's office

Olivia knocks on his door.

Olivia: Hey daddy

Coach Baker: Hey baby girl

(Olivia moved closer as she hugs her daddy)

Olivia: It's been a minute, daddy.

Coach Baker; Yea, how are you doing.?

Olivia: I don't know daddy.

Coach Baker: Baby girl, what is the matter? (he asked with so much curiosity.)

Olivia: (manages to wear a fake smile) it is nothing I can't handle, daddy.

Coach Baker: Are you sure? You know you can always tell me anything.

Olivia: Yes, daddy. I just came to check up on you. I will leave now.

Coach Baker: Alright, baby girl. I will see you at the game this Friday, right?

Olivia: (smiles) I won't miss it.

Spencer's room

Chris: Olivia came here yesterday.

Spencer: Oh! She did (looking uninterested)

Chris: She said she was going to go see you on the field, did she?

Spencer: Yea, she did.

Chris: So, what did she say? What was her excuse?

Spencer: (chuckles, as he drinks water from his bottle) said she fell asleep. Can you just believe that?

Chris: Hmmm, that is lame.

Spencer: I know, right.... I like her, I really do. But I am not trying to be that guy that keeps getting embarrassed.

Chris: So, what do you intend doing?

Spencer: Will just give her space. That is the only thing I can think of right now.

Chris: Yea, you should. (gives Spencer a handshake) You my guy, you are fine man, a wide receiver, ladies will be throwing themselves at you. Just open up.

They both laughed...
