Ross: Hey…
Cass: Hi.
Ross: You been here long? (looks around as people stare) Seems we got an audience. (to people) Hi people , hi there……how you doin? (Cass laughs) That's nice, I like that…
Cass: What?
Ross: Your laugh, the way your nose crinkles up when you smile…. Thanks for meeting me here.
Cass: Why?
Ross: Huh?
Cass: Why did you want to meet with me. You don't even know me.
Ross: Have you looked in a mirror lately? Can't barely blame a guy for being totally smitten. (to waitress) Espresso…
Cass: Mocha latte.
Meanwhile as the two get to know eachother better…. Janey is in the dorm seriously trying to study when she hears a "bam bam bam"
Janey: Oh God why do I have a bad vibe of some form of deja vous?
Janey opens the door and Jeff stands there.
Janey: Jeff?
Jeff: Hey…. Cass here?
Janey: (thinking in her head, "Yeah she's out on a hot date!") She's at the library.
Jeff: Where's it at, I have to talk to her…
Janey: No, no Jeff… she's….. she's studying, yeah that's good.
Jeff: What?
Janey: She's studying American Lit, big test tomorrow….
Jeff: Cass already took American Lit.
Janey: She flunked?
Jeff: What's going on? Where is she?
Janey: Gee…. aren't you acting all boyfriendy.
Jeff: I know I messed up, I hurt her….I love her.
Janey: She should be back in an hour or so..
Jeff: She's out on a date?
Janey: God Jeff, what did you expect, her to go on with her life miserably alone? Let me remind you, you let her walk.
Jeff: I know. Is it serious? Her and this guy?
Janey: I don't think so.
Jeff: Maybe I shouldn't have come…
Janey: You love her, this is where you should be. Jeff you and Cass need to fix this, she's miserable without you! She'll kill me for saying this, but she wants you back so bad.
A while passes and Ross is walking Cass back to her dorm.
Cass: And he makes the best pasta!
Ross: I never would have thaught of it………Kane a cook. You love him a lot
Cass: He's one of my best friends.
Ross: Yeah, well I hope I can be on that list.
Cass: It's a very short list, but I think I can fit you in somewhere.
Ross: That's good. (Ross takes her hand and they walk off)
Back at the dorm, Jeff and Janey play Hearts and Jeff keeps looking at the clock and his watch.
Janey: She'll be here, stop looking at your watch!
Jeff: I fold.
Janey: Jeff, you don't fold in Hearts, get your mind on the game man………
Jeff: I'm thirsty, what do you got (looks in the fridge) No RC's?
Janey: Cass got you hooked on those too?
Jeff: She got me hooked on a lot.
Janey: We don't have any, there's some in the machine down the hall.
Jeff: I'll be right back, you want anything?
Janey: I'm fine.
Jeff goes out to the hall to get something to drink. Cass and Ross are walking up the stairs laughing and talking….The next part is in like slow motion…..
Ross walks Cass to her door and they smile at eachother, then he leans in for a kiss…. Jeff is walking back to the dorm, soda in hand, and pouring a bag of skittles into his mouth………….then he sees Ross kiss Cass, and drops skittles all over the floor. Ross sees him, and then Cass turns her head and sees him too.
Cass: Jeff?
Jeff starts to take off down the stairs. Cass runs after him, Janey opens the door.
Janey: What's going on?
It's now raining outside, and Cass runs after Jeff.
Cass: Jeff! Jeff!
She catches up to him and grabs his arm.
Cass: Wait, wait ….
Jeff: I don't know why I even came here!
Cass: Don't just bolt out of my life!
Jeff: You look like you're doing just fine!
Cass: You let me go! You gave no explanation, nothing!
Jeff: Whatever….
Cass: You're here. Jeff…
Jeff starts to get in to his corvette.
Cass: Don't. Don't do this… don't leave me (crying please)
Jeff: I can see you dating someone else Cass, seeing other people yes! But that was one serious lip lock! That I don't understand! What! Are you going to say it didn't mean anything!? I didn't think so!
Cass: I love you! I love you Jeff!
Cass holds on to Jeff embracing him, but he's pissed and not returning her affections.
Cass: I missed you so much, please let's talk, let's just talk…
Jeff grabs on to her arms and pulls her away from him.
Cass: Jeff?
Jeff: I shouldn't have come here.
Jeff kisses Cass' forehead as she cries and then gets into his car and leaves. As the rain falls harder, so do Cass' tears and she just falls into a heap on the ground. Janey and Ross come out and find her and try to comfort her.
