It's early morning and Kristian is sitting on the grass, thinking deeply. Blanche comes close to him and sits next to him. 

Blanche: Morning. (smiles) 

Kristian(says upset): Morning. 

Blanche(asks confused): What's wrong? 

Kristian: Nothing...I guess I just trust people too much. (sighs) 

Blanche(says looking at the ground): Okay...I can't force you to tell me. (asks after 3 seconds) Where is Cece? 

Kristian: I don't know and I don't care. 

Blanche: So, you are upset because of her. 

Kristian(says, looking at her): No, I'm upset because of myself. 

Cece and Alex are walking slowly and they suddenly see Kristian and Blanche and get close to them.

Alex: Morning, Blanche! Morning, Kris!

Blanche(smiles shyly): Good-morning!

Kristian ignores Alex, he stands up and Cece sighs. 

Alex: Man. (says, looking at Kristian) 

Kristian: What? 

Alex: You're acting childish. 

Kristian rolls his eyes.

Alex: I mean, seriously. Is it a good reason to get mad on your girlfriend. 

Kristian: Actually, yes, lying to me is a good reason. I'm not so stupid to get mad at her for something that she did in the past. I am upset because she lied to me. She could have told me the truth from the very beginning. 

Cece(says irritated): But I did not lie when we talked about it. 

Alex: Shut up, Cece and let me talk to him. C'mon Kris, come for a walk with me. 

Kristian looks annoyed at Alex but he leaves with him and Cece and Blanche make eye contact without saying anything.
