"I'm sorry."
"Me too."
"Why are you sorry?"
"I didn't care about you."
"I didn't care about you."
"Are you better?"
"Not really."
"Why, you sound more normal."
"Yeah, I have to prove to my basketball coach that I deserve a spot on the team to be involved."
"What do you have to prove?"
"That I am for the team, not myself."
"That's a big task for anyone."
"Yeah, but there's less of me to deal with."
"Very funny Logan, but you still have to be aware for yourself."
"Yeah, but I really have to put the team ahead of me."
"Not always."
"Here yes."
"Then come here."
"Selfish act, can't do it."
"Wow, you're devoted."
"I'm trying."
"When is the decision."
"Next game."
"That's not much time to prove anything."
"Yeah, but it's coach orders..."
"And? I know there's more."
"It's the end of the season."
"Oh."
"And if I'm not good enough, I might not be on the team next year."
"That's not the worst."
"Except that my scholarship is for basketball and I might not be able to come back and finish because I don't have the money. Then I won't get a degree and I'll be a college dropout."
"Oh..."
"Elena, it's all riding on this last game."
"Where is it?"
"Two states away from us both."
"Where is it Logan."
"Indiana."
