Teacher (Mr. Moreno): *claps hands together* Alright! You’re all probably wondering “Whose is this guy”? *smiles* Well I’m Mr. Moreno, your NEW teacher for the rest of the semester; comprendes? Mr. Olsen is on FMLA for now. Well, on another note, we are onto our new subject; poetry *turns around to write the word poetry on the white board, then claps his hands together & faces the class* I’d like for you all to get to know me better, so I will share some of my education background. Before I went to Stanford University, I also spent two terms at Oxford University in England, UK, researching British literature and poetry. At Stanford I earned a bachelor’s degree in literature. And that’s why I’m certain I’ll be a great English teacher for you all *smiles at everyone* Great. Now onto poetry. You see, poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these…
114Please respect copyright.PENANAh6sDmNWnvg

Zac: Uh, hey *scratches the back of his neck* I don’t really know how I ended up back here…but…well…here I am. I feel like…we need some closure
114Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zu9ISLwkM
Ash: I thought we pretty much settled everything the last time you came.
114Please respect copyright.PENANAdA7r3Vrtqh
Zac: Me catching you cheating…and storming out…doesn’t count as “closure”
114Please respect copyright.PENANAtFRXsAJASP
Ash: Okay, fair
114Please respect copyright.PENANA2GSEP9Hvxd
Zac: I’m on my way to college now
114Please respect copyright.PENANAdCBZJgrB5y
Ash: Oh. Well, that’s great
114Please respect copyright.PENANAvYR75Lbi7c
Zac: Yeah, I’m excited
114Please respect copyright.PENANAJG0zPBqGY9
Ash: So then what’re you doing here? Don’t you hate me? *gives him a guilty look*
114Please respect copyright.PENANAmATDnhM2h4
Zac: Ash…it’s almost impossible to hate you. It’s because I love you so much. And that’s why it hurts so much too
114Please respect copyright.PENANARmlzhptcPO
Ash: *looks at him surprised*
114Please respect copyright.PENANAFFglEpXg3s
Zac: That’s why I forgave you the first time you cheated. But this second time? It’s too much. I love you…but you don’t love me enough to stay faithful
114Please respect copyright.PENANA0nLregtiTT
Ash: *lets out a big sigh* I understand
114Please respect copyright.PENANAmQXfmnoyVC
Zac: *looks at her with sad eyes*

Ashley stands up & gives him a hug. Zac holds her close to him. He misses holding her, & hearing her voice, and being with her. But he can’t keep repeating this cycle of theirs. As much as he loves her, they just can’t be together. Everything is too damaged. Zac lets go of her & looks right at her then turns around to leave. Ashley stands by her doorway & watches him walk away. Zac picks up his speed & doesn’t look back. He opens the Princeton doors & stands by the beautiful Fountain of Freedom looking up at it thoughtfully. He snaps out of his thoughts & walks towards his car feeling excited about his future…
