Los Angeles. Middle class neighborhood house, LORENA (48) is a beautiful lady. She is talking to her son NICHOLAS (23) and his friend, SANCHES (21).
She is finishing serving breakfast.
Nicholas is silent. The living room is integrated with the kitchen. The young man is in the center, his mother on the right and Sanches on the left.
The mother watches her son's leg tremble.
LORENA
(curious)
I've been noticing you nervous lately. What's the matter, son?
NICHOLAS
Today is the first class of Cosmology.
LORENA
I see ... You waited a long time for this, but rest assured that everything will be fine.

Sanches talks in his Latin accent.
SANCHES
(mischievous smile)
Hermano, grow up! Instead of thinking about space travels, focus on the girls. Believe in yourself.
Lorena and Sanches laugh. Nicholas puts his hand on his leg trying to hide his insecurity.
NICHOLAS
You know how I am with girls. Whenever they get close, I lose my voice. I don't think I'll ever overcome this shyness.
SANCHES
I'll teach some tricks with chicas and you can get along with them.
NICHOLAS
With a teacher like you, I don't think I'll move to the next grade.
Lorena observes them and smiles. Sanches sneezes three times. She interrupts the conversation.
LORENA
Sanches, would you like an orange juice? It'll help you get better.
SANCHES
Si, of course! Do you also have a vitamin that I can take? I caught a cold.
LORENA
Yes, I have. But take the juice that you'll get better.
She brings the vitamins.
He ingests some and takes a few sips of juice.

SANCHES
I left my house in such a hurry that I forgot the medication. I don't understand how this skinny guy never gets sick. I've never seen you sneeze. Do you remember having any health problems, hombre?
NICHOLAS
I think I don't.
They both look at Lorena.
LORENA
I don't remember either ...
Nicholas in one of his recurring habits rubs the bracelet with his hand until it shines.
SANCHES
(looking at the object)
What about this bracelet, Nick? Why don't you ever take it off?
NICHOLAS
I got it from my mom and I like it. I know I look like a child, but I feel stronger with it.
SANCHES
Let me see... It seems to be technological. Where did you buy it, Lorena? I want one of these.
The friend looks at the bracelet carefully.
LORENA
It was from a very special person. I met him a long time ago. I never saw him again and I don't think I'll see him anymore.
She looks at the floor. Her eyes are watery.
They both watch her, then look at each other in embarrassment and finish the conversation.
