INT. SCHOOL – STAIRCASE. DAY.

A girl walks up the staircase and corridor. The girl is Maya Shukla. Young, beautiful, rebellious.

Maya arrives outside classroom. She looks through the panel glass on the door and spots Sagal.

She opens the door and enters – crossing the room to sit down.

Maya

I thought you were going home.

Sagal

[She looks up from work] What?

Maya

You told me you couldn't hang out because you had to help your mum.

Sagal

I’m sorry. I just knew you wouldn't understand if I told you I was revising.

Maya

Are you kidding me?

Sagal

[Looking down] Look, I understand if you don’t care about your education…. but don’t ruin mine. I have to revise.

Maya

You know what. Forget this.

Maya Swipes papers off the table and gets up, walking away.
