The football training has began.Farkle and Lucas are playing at the opposite teams.Lucas comes closer to Farkle.

LUCAS

We need to talk and make things clear.

FARKLE

Is that right,cheater?

LUCAS

You understand me...you understand us more than anyone.

FARKLE

I doubt.

LUCAS

Okay...you don't have to forgive me.But...forgive her.

FARKLE

I want to focus on this training.I don't wanna talk to you or listen to you.You are not my friend anymore.

Than,Farkle notices Riley coming,near the bleachers,watching them.

FARKLE (CONT.)

Oh,god.

Lucas turns around,looking at Riley too.

LUCAS

She came to see you,Farkle.How can you be so cold person?

FARKLE

Maybe...she's here for you.We don't know that.

They begin playing football.We notice music in the background:

Wanna Be Like Me by Panauh Kalayeh,James Desmond and John Eugenio.

FARKLE (to teammate)

I'm here.

He passes ball to Farkle,who quickly does the dribbling and scored one goal.Lucas takes the ball,trying to dribble and get through Farkle,who seem more and more aggresive,pushing him on ground and looking at him.Riley notices that tension too.Than,

Maya comes,getting closer to Riley.

MAYA (to RILEY)

So...are you here to see Farkle or Lucas?Your ex boyfriend or your love?Maybe...the guy you used to sleep with or the guy you are sleeping with now?

RILEY

This is serious issue,Maya.They might kill each other.

Lucas and Farkle keep pushing each other,until Farkle takes the ball,agressivily and scores another goal.

TRAINER (to FARKLE)

Minkus!You save that violance for a real game.

They keep playing.Lucas has the ball,Farkle gets closer,

pushing him aside,than Lucas gets up,attacking him too,while trying to play real football.Farkle tries to defend and accidentally kicks Lucas near at stomach,near the heart,with elbow.The music ends

TRAINER

Farkle!

Lucas,almost loses his breath,looking at Farkle,seeing him as his enemy now.Trainer comes closer to Farkle.

FARKLE (to TRAINER)

He's fine.

TRAINER

He's not fine.You almost killed him.Are you mad?

FARKLE

He's getting up!He's doing well.

TRAINER

Go.Take a shower.Animal!

Farkle goes,can hardy walk,angry,he stops as he sees Riley and than,continues walking.Riley runs to him.

RILEY

Farkle.

He keeps walking,not paying attention.

RILEY (CONT.)

Farkle!

He doesn't do anything,as Riley takes his hand,making him turn around.

RILEY

Will you just stop with this?

FARKLE

I'm fine.Lucas needs help.So...go to him.

Maya notices them,getting closer,listening to their conversation,as Lucas keeps watching Maya.

RILEY

You aren't serious?

FARKLE

Why not?You two get along.

RILEY

The things didn't happen as you think they happened.

FARKLE

Okay.Speak.Make me laugh.

RILEY

Do you trust me?

Farkle,keeps silent,quiet,thinking.

FARKLE

Goodbye.

He walks towards locker room,leaving Riley alone,sad,thinking.

Than,Riley comes in,making him look even more angry.

FARKLE

Will I ever be able to escape you?

RILEY

No,you won't.Because...you don't know all truth.

FARKLE

You are gonna lie again...looking into my face?

RILEY

It was just...two kisses.

FARKLE

Two kisses?

RILEY

A couple of kisses.Nothing more.

FARKLE

I'm not dumb.

RILEY

And I'm telling you the truth.

He keeps silent,thinking,doubting a bit.We notice Maya,coming in front of door,listening to them,accidentally.

FARKLE

It's hard for me to believe in that.

RILEY

We were drunk and...there was nothing more than kissing.

FARKLE

Really?

Riley nods,trying to do whatever to get him back.They get closer,almost kissing.Than,Maya knocks the door.

What?

MAYA

You forgave her?

FARKLE

Of course I didn't.

MAYA

Okay,than.Because...you shouldn't.

FARKLE

Maybe she's telling the truth.

MAYA

Nothing more than kissing?You got to be blind to believe it.

FARKLE

I don't know what to believe anymore.

MAYA

RILEY

Than...we will need to keep lying.

LUCAS

We were drunk.And there was more than a simple kiss...unfortunetely.

Well...we lost them.We need to face it.

INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HALLWAY – DAY

Farkle and Maya are standing near lockers.

MAYA

There's no way it was just a kiss.I know Lucas...but I never met drunk Lucas.I don't even believe he was drunk.

FARKLE

MAYA

All I know...is that they slept together.

Smackle comes.

SMACKLE

Hello,Farkle.

FARKLE

Oh,boy.

MAYA (to FARKLE)

See you later.

She leaves.Riley comes out of classroom,noticing Smackle with Farkle.

SMACKLE

I heard what happened.It really happened?

FARKLE

Yes,it did.The gossip is confirmed.

SMACKLE

I'd never do that to you.

FARKLE

Don't say that.Because...you would broke your promise.Like Riley.

SMACKLE

I'm not Riley,Farkle.

FARKLE

Is that what you wanted?To talk about this stupid almost past thing?

SMACKLE

Of course not.

She kisses him on cheek,which makes Riley even more jealous.

SMACKLE (CONT.)

If we were still together,I'd never cheat on you.

FARKLE

That means a lot for me,Smackle.

She leaves.Than,Riley comes.

RILEY (to FARKLE)

Can we finish talking now?

FARKLE

We finished with that...long time ago.

RILEY

You don't believe me,do you?

FARKLE

No,I don't.And I don't see one reason why I should.

RILEY

Okay.It was more than a kiss...it's always more than a kiss when it's about cheating.

FARKLE

Good.You finally accepted it.

RILEY

Will you forgive me?

FARKLE

No.

RILEY

You can't hate me for this.

ZAY

This is serious thing,Riley.It might destroy relationships between all of us...forever.

RILEY

I'll tell him.I won't hide it from Farkle.

ZAY

They seem to really hate each other...now.

RILEY

They don't hate each other.They are mad at each other.

ZAY

I'm worried what might happen.We are gang...pretty good one.We stick together...this can't tear us apart.

RILEY

This is one good lesson,Zay.Learn from it.You are the only one to not have fault at all.

I dated you too.And it hurt Farkle.

RILEY

And I love him so much.But,he won't get back with me.We are over.I need to save our friendship,at least.

Forgive and forget are two different things.

MAYA

Maybe we should forgive them.

FARKLE

You are crazy.

MAYA

We should remain friends.This is our place,our home,our friends.And it's forever.

FARKLE

How do you expect me to come back to the place where I had my heart ripped out of my chest and then thrown around the room like it was some freakin ball?

MAYA

I know what to do.

Maya enters the classroom,getting close to Lucas,apparently trying to talk with him.Farkle open his locker and without noticing,Zay and Riley get closer,talking,not seeing him at all.

STUART

Why would we,Cory?It's their thing...their problem.We are just some annoying parents.

CORY

You are a good parent,Stuart.

You too.

CORY

And we need to help them.That's what parents do.

INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL – HALLWAY – LATER

We notice music in background:Turning Tables by Adele.

CORY

It's new generation,Stuart.They are growing up.

STUART

And we are getting old.

CORY

My brother used to say...life's tough,get a helmet.

STUART

And we should do that.We should totally get helmet and motocycle and just...fly away.

CORY

Harley?

STUART

Sure.

CORY

Like those guys...from Easy Rider.
