Script

First scene//

Friend 1 (Florie): Guys… I think (*pause for a while) we will be having a quiz later.

Friend 2 (Kyla): Nah. She didn’t say anything ‘bout that

(*shrugged)

Navales: Overthinkers (He put a sincere smile looking at his friends despite the teasing tone he did)

Everyone: At least we’re beauties! (They said in unison as they laugh agreeing at each other’s
statements)

Second scene//

*Classroom

Prof (Kate): Can someone from the class share their idea about communication?

No one answered so the teacher took a random index card from her pouch.

Prof: Navales?

Navales got stunned on his seat and the teacher made a gesture commanding him to talk. Due to
nervousness, his mind went into a blank state

Navales: It is a process of conveying—informing aaaahhmmm… something like, freely expressing your

thoughts… uhmm… or something among those line? (*He muttered with a hint of being unsure and
uneasiness)

The teacher didn’t say anything and just called another student to add an idea about their currint
discussion.

Sensing that something is wrong with his answer, he stole a glance at his classmates but seems like they
didn’t mind nor care. He unconsciously sat without making any noise. He felt conflicted with his self
while listening to Micah who shared her answer confidently.

Third Scene//

Friend 1: We’ll go first (happy tone)

Navales: Byebye (He forced a smile)

Friend 2: Are you ok?

Navales: Yes. Im just… I’m tired, that’s all

Friend 2: Well, if you say so

His friends waved their hands on air before leaving and the silence he was seeking reappeared.

Fourth Scene (Last scene)//

Alone in his room. Navales starred at the ceiling while sitting in his +(bed or corner)- to be decided+
while hugging his knees.

Thinking about what happened just recently, he sighed softly calming himself from the embarrassment
he felt. Later, two voiced echoed fighting over what he should do.

Angel self: Just calm down. I mean, at least your answer kinda have a point.

Demon self: Like how? Looking back—it’s-HAHAHA no, nevermind HAHAHA

Angel self: Stop laughing please

Demon self: Nah, can’t help it. He provided a wrong answer. Just don’t come to school tomorrow kid
*laughter echoes*

Angel self: Stop adding salt on the wounds, be considerate please

He sighed again and mess his hair

Navales: Stop! (*He shouted)

The two voices ceased but the silence is more deafening than before.

Oh gosh! I actually didn’t know what to tell you ‘cause Im not fond of this but, I can’t just stay silent
seeing you like that. You think I didn’t notice? In your dreams buddy HAHAHA. I sounded like OA right
now. I know. Just wanna let you know that we’re here for you. The most important part is… You did your
best and that’s all that matters.

Navales: Yuck! That sounds so cringe

A smile appeared on his lips without him knowing. By that, the heavy feeling has been lifted.
