CANCER: (just finished her presentation, going back to her seat, Scorpio holds out an arm to block her, confused) "Excuse me."
SCORPIO: (small smile) "You did well."
CANCER: "Thanks."
SCORPIO: "Also, meet me at the field after classes on Friday." (drops his arm, Cancer stares at him curiously but nods a few seconds later)
PISCES: (once Cancer sat on her seat again, whispering excitedly) "What did he say?!"
CANCER: "Oh, um, he said to meet me at the field after classes on Friday. Why?"
PISCES: (eyes wide) "Jesus, Cancer, he's a new student!"
CANCER: (confused) "So?"
PISCES: "What do you mean so?! He's popular, hot, and I think he just got into the football team! He's the total package!"
CANCER: (gives Pisces a look) "Pfft, shut up. You're labelling people again."
PISCES: (frowns) "Is that bad, labelling people?"
CANCER: (stern look) "Uh, duh." (Pisces humphs) "Say what, I'll get to know him and I'll even mention you. Who knows, maybe he likes you."
PISCES: (frantic) "What?! Cancer, you're unbelievable."
CANCER: "You're welcome."
PISCES: (waving her arms around the air, the teacher gives her a weird look) "No! No, no, no. Scorpio likes you, you dumbhead."
CANCER: (rolls eyes) "Proof?"
PISCES: (smug) "Ask me that again after Friday and I'll tell you why."
FRIDAY, FOOTBALL FIELD, AFTER CLASSES
SCORPIO: (doing laps around the field when he spotted Cancer, starts jogging towards her) "Hey."
CANCER: (stares at Scorpio's sweaty body) "You didn't tell me you play football."
SCORPIO: (eyebrows raised) "I'm guessing your friend, Pisces, told you that."
CANCER: "How did — ?"
SCORPIO: (laughing) "You're definition of whispering is 'screaming like I'm about to die'."
CANCER: (slightly blushes) "Oh. So, everyone heard us talking like girly girls?"
SCORPIO: "Nah, I was just kidding. I have sharp hearing."
CANCER: "Oh. Um, that's... good."
SCORPIO: (stares at her for a moment, looks around, leaned forward) "Tell you what; say a place you always wanted to go, in this town of course, and I'll take you there."
CANCER: (dumbfounded) "You're kidding."
SCORPIO: "I'm serious. I'll take you home during sunrise."
CANCER: (eyebrow raised) "How can I be sure you're not a murderer and you're going to kill me in the woods?"
SCORPIO: (chuckling) "Trust, Cancer. You gotta trust me." (silence)
CANCER: "Tower Bridge."
SCORPIO: (tossing his car keys in the air, catching it when it fell on his hands, his car beeps) "Well, let's go."
TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON
CANCER: (both Cancer and Scorpio is standing on the edge, looking at the night view of London) "I might fall."
SCORPIO: (smiles, holds out his arm) "Hold my hand."
CANCER: (blushing, glad Scorpio can't see her in the dark, holds his hand) "It's a nice view, innit?"
SCORPIO: "You know what's a nicer view?"
CANCER: "What?"
SCORPIO: (smiling at her) "You."
