~ETHAN~
After I hang up with Theresa, I get dressed and head to park where I said I'd
meet her. She sounded kind of funny on the phone, I hope she's ok. I see
her pacing back and forth and I approach her.
"Theresa, what did you want to see me about?"
"Ethan. I'm sorry if I woke you up this morning. It's just that what I have
to tell you is very important."
"It's ok, Theresa. You didn't wake me up. But you're starting to worry me.
What do you need to talk to me about that's so important?"
"Well, Ethan, for the first time, I'm going to be completely honest with you
about my feelings."
"Feelings?" I ask, puzzled.
"My feelings for you."

~MIGUEL~
I wonder what Kay's problem is. She looked really upset. I'll have to ask
her later. Just then, Jessica comes down the stairs.
"Hey Jessica."
"Hey, Miguel. Why aren't you with Kay?"
"Huh? Why would I be with Kay? I came here to see Charity."
"Oh, so you guys aren't doing that breakfast thing anymore? I thought that's
where Kay said she was going."
"Breakfast thing?" just then it hits me. "Oh no! I can't believe I forgot!"
"What's the matter Miguel?" Charity asked me.
"It's Kay's birthday. Every year I take her to breakfast on her birthday,
just the two of us. That's why she was so upset. I have to find her. I'll
see you later Charity."
"Bye, Miguel." I head out the door in search for Kay....

~SAM~
I love patroling the beach. It's so peaceful this time of day. Watching the
waves roll in and hitting the sand. I walk up and down the shore when I see
a woman sitting in the sand with her head down. She looks like she's crying.
I have to go see if she's ok. I walk up to her and tap her on the shoulder.
"Mamn, are you o--" Just then I see the face of the person that I'm trying
to comfort.
"Ivy, what are you doing here?" Just then I see her eye. "Who did that to
your eye? What the hell happened?"
"Sam, hi. Nothing happened to me. I, umm, ran into a door. I'm so clumsy
these days."
"You can't lie to me. There's no way you did that by running into a door.
Tell me the truth."
"Look, Sam, I don't have to tell you anything! You asked me to stay out of
your life, so why don't you just stay the hell out of mine!" She puts her
head down but I can still see the tears in her eyes.
"I have to go now." She walks off so quickly that I don't have time to stop
her. I won't push her right now, but I will get to the bottom of this....

~LUIS~
I arrive at the Youth Center and head into my office. I can't stop thinking
about her. Her beautiful blonde hair, perfect body, piercing blue
eyes---What am I thinking?! I need to snap out of this. But I can't. Maybe
I'm falling for her...Yeah right!!! Besides, even if I was, we're from two
different worlds and she could never love me. Could she? Just then I hear a
door shut and I leave my office to see who's there.
"Sheridan. What are you doing here? You don't have to come in today."
"I know, Luis. You've been through a lot in the past week and I wanted to
come down here to help you."
What a wonderful peron she is. I can't believe I ever thought that she was
cold and callous like her brother and father.
"Thanks, Sheridan. That means a lot to me." I smile at her and she smiles
back. "Well, the Youth Center doesn't open for the kids for another hour, so
do you wanna sit and, um, talk?" I don't know why I just said that. I hope
I didn't come off as a desperate idiot.
"Sure, Luis. What do you want to talk about?"
"I don't know. Why don't we go into my office."
"Ok." I follow her into my office and we sit down to talk....
