After school that day, Ryder storms over to Eve house to confront her about a very important matter. He texts her impatiently to open the door, then starts ringing the doorbell continuously know that her parents aren't home. A second later, the door opens and Eve glares at him.
Eve: What do you want? I was changing and I have to leave for my volunteer group in like five minutes. I really don't have time to talk.
Ryder: Holly broke up with me.
Eve: What?
Ryder: Yeah. She said you said something to her, and that we can't go out if you're still going to be a part in my life.
Eve: Why do you put up with her?
Ryder: Because I really like her.
Eve: WHY?
Ryder: I just do okay? It's one of those things you can't explain, kind of like when you dated Josh for a while, and I said he was a complete idiot.
Eve: Yes, and that ended horribly remember? That's what's going to happen to you and Holly. I practically saved you from a horrible breakup.
Ryder: Well we're not going to end up that way. Maybe you should just stop interfering in my love life.
Eve: YOU WERE THE ONE THAT ASKED ME TO! Remember hey Eve I was wondering if you could talk to Holly for me? You know since your both girls and all that crap?
Ryder: Well now I change my mind, stop talking to her.
Eve: It's already too late, she broke up with you.
They both pause for a minute.
Eve: Are you really choosing her…over me?
Ryder looks down at the string on his hoodie and doesn't reply.
Eve: Can I talk to Holly one last time? I promise I'll make everything work out.
Ryder: Are you sure?
Eve: Yes. Ryder, if this is what you really want, and this makes you happy…I guess I'll have to deal with it.
She gives him a sad smile. He smiles back sadly.
Ryder: You really are a great friend Eve.
She whispers almost inaudible, but Ryder hears it anyway.
Eve: Were
Ryder hugs Eve one last time, and then they look at each other.
Ryder: Hey, if Holly and I ever do break up like you and Josh did…I'll remind you to say 'I told you so'
They both laugh.
Eve: I really have to go now. I'll see you around.
Ryder nods and walks over to his car. He turns out of the driveway, shooting her a final wave before driving off into the road.
