(Luisa leaves and Laura bangs the door and starts crying)


Scene5:

(Laura speaks to herself)

Laura: I can’t understand this! Why did he lie? Oh I’m sorry, She!! I loved him, but now I know that he is a girl. I am so disappointed! Why did she do this? Ha! She can´t love me! She is a girl! No, that is not possible . We were best friends! She can tell me that she loves girls and not boys. I mean she know that she can tell everything, right?

(Laura goes away. Luisa appears and thinks about everything that she has done)

Luisa: Oh, my god. Did I hurt her feelings? She is mad because I am Simon. I can’t understand this, but when I told her that I love her, I thought that would make it better. She is so important to me and now she never wants to see me again. I feel so bad. I have got an idea! I will write her a letter telling her that I am Mr Bloomberg and I tell her that she got accepted at C&J school in Boston. I am sure that she will come to Central Park then.



Scene 6:


(Laura opens the letter and reads it)

Laura: Dear Mrs Leonetti !
I´m glad to tell you that your daughter was accepted at our school C&J Boston sport college. The plane tickets will be sent later. She must come to our school at 04.08.2008. The first Lesson begins at 8.30 o´clock. But I will tell her this at our meeting in Central Park at 13.45 o´clock tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Yours
Mr Cassisi.

Laura: I’m so happy! Mum! Dad! I’m accepted at C&J Boston sport college.
Yeah, I will go to Boston. New guys, new friends and a new life! That’s very cool! I think I will find a new best friend and I will forget Luisa. I hope I will never see that girl again! I can begin a new life.
Mrs Leonetti: Super Laura ! I´m happy! But you can´t say that you don´t ever want to see Luisa again. It´s 5 month until you go to your new school!
Mr Leonetti: I´m happy,too, but that what your mother said is true.
Laura: No ! Mum! Dad! That´s not possible.




Scene 7:

(Laura arrives at a bench in Central Park and waits for Mr Cassisi. Luisa comes. Laura can´t believe it)

Luisa: Hi!
Laura: What are you doing here? I´m waiting for Mr Cassisi and not of you!
Luisa: I´m Mr Cassisi. I wrote the letter to you. I know that you would come because the college in Boston is important for you. If I hadn’t written the letter to you, you wouldn’t have met with me here, right?
Laura: Yes, but I told you that I would never want to see you again. And you know that I hate lies! And you lied to me with the “Simon” thing. I loved him!
Luisa: Yes, I know! But you know that I love you. And we were best friends.You can´t give up our friendship! It´s important to me to say that to you.
Laura: You want to tell me this?
Luisa: Yes!
Laura: No! Ha…you lied. I wish I had never met and seen you. You are the biggest mistake in my life!
Luisa: You are so nasty!(She cries and runs away)

Laura: Oh, no, what have I done! I hurt her! Oh, no!
