Scene 2 - Gymnasium -
Farkle is sitting on a bleacher. He seems unusual. quieter, calmer. Maya enters and sits next to him.
Maya: seriously Farkle? Hiding in The gym, you really didn't want to talk to me did you?
Farkle: it would be the last place you'd think to look for me.
Maya: actually, my first thought was, where's the last place he'd expect me to search for him? And I looked there first.
Farkle: curses, with my reliance on science, reasoning and strategy I should have been able to have seen that coming... I honestly didn't expect you to keep searching, I thought you'd have better things to do.
Maya: there are very few people in this world I trust the way I trust you, Riley and...
Farkle: and Lucas right? Cause that's the real reason we're talking right now isn't it? You want to know if I know what's going on with him?
Maya: no, I was just worried about my friend, whose best friend just took off without notice.
Farkle: or maybe you're worried about your best friend. And maybe you want answers before you start talking to her again.
Maya: this isn't easy Farkle, this is the opposite of easy.
Farkle: no one said it was ever going to be easy, no one said fair either. But if we stopped lying to each other we wouldn't keep hurting each other... And ourselves
Lucas enters
Lucas: wow, you must have been really desperate to hide if you're in the gym Farkle.
Farkle: last place you'd look right?
Lucas: actually, my first thought was, where's the last place he'd expect me to search for him...
Farkle: ok thats enough... You're looking for me too?
Maya: you really didn't know where he was?
Farkle: no, I didn't; just as your concern for me was less than genuine.
Lucas: Maya, I need to talk to him for a bit, just us guys.
Maya: in a moment hop-along, I gotta deal with this chip on his shoulder.
Lucas: that's why I need to talk to him. I got this buddy
Maya: whatever you say ranger Rick.
She exits and Lucas' face gets serious
