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

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?

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.

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

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

Will you forgive me?
FARKLE
No.

Like those guys...from Easy Rider.
