THE GAME

*ISLA*

In that moment, Sawyer started showing me who he really was.

SAWYER: it's gonna be okay.

ISLA: No. I don't think it will be.

SAWYER: You shouldn't be thinkin' like that.

ISLA: It's kind of hard not to. (Sighs)

SAWYER: Look, I know we're practically strangers. But I'm gonna give you my phone number, so that way if you need somebody to talk to, you can reach out.

ISLA: You don't have to. I don't want to burden you with my emotions.

SAWYER: It wouldn't be a burden at all.

ISLA: Are you sure?

SAWYER: Absolutely.

ISLA:Thank you, Sawyer, I appreciate the gesture.

SAWYER: I'm sure you would do same if the roles are reversed.

(Sawyer gives his number to Isla)

ISLA: That's sweet of you, Sawyer.

SAWYER: Will you be okay going home?

ISLA: Yeah, I'll be okay.

SAWYER: Alright. If you need anything, and I mean anything, Don't hesitate to text me.

ISLA: Thank you.

SAWYER: Of course. I'll see you later. Try to have a good night, Isla.

ISLA: You too.

SAWYER WALKS AWAY

**ISLA**

What was that? I didn't expect him to be so nice. Who am I kidding? He was probably only being nice because I was crying like a little baby.

REECE WALKS TO ISLA

RECCE: Are you ready to go?

ISLA: Yeah

RECCE: Were you crying?

ISLA: Oh no, I just got something in my eyes...darn allergies.

REECE: Eh, you aren't allergic to anything?

ISLA: Will you look at the time! We should get going.

REECE: If you say so.

**BACK AT HOME**

REECE: Thanks for taking me to the game sis!

ISLA: Of course! Now go do your homework.

REECE: Stupid algebra. (Sighs).

ISLA TAKE HER PHONE OUT TO TEXT SOMEONE

THE TEXT:

ISLA: When you said "anything", was that literally or figuratively?

Like if a girl is craving ice cream at 2 am, are you the man to call?

SAWYER: I am if the girl in need of a 2 am ice cream is a hero like you!

Wait, this is Isla right? Otherwise...this is awkward.

ISLA: Yes, haha! I figured that since I have your number, it's only fair that you have mine.

SAWYER: I like your way of thinking Woodrich.

ISLA: Good. You should get used to it.

SAWYER: Don't mind if I do darlin'.

ISLA: Goodnight, Sawyer. And thank you again for today.

SAWYER: Anytime Isla.
