DIALOGUE - SORAYA SALARICH

A girl confronts a friend of hers that she has known for 2 years in the park behind the school at patio time.

Bella: Hi Jacob, it's been a few weeks since you were weird and we haven't talked but it's about time to do it even if you don't want to. What's wrong? Please be clear with me and explain what happened to you or what reasons you have for being annoying the students recently. When I began to realize your behavior, I supported you, I suppose because you are my friend and I appreciate you, but a moment has come that I do not want or can continue to justify your actions ...

Jacob: I don't want to talk Bella, leave me alone! No one understands me!

Bella: You need to talk, you can't go on like this! Really, talk to me, I'm not asking you, I'm demanding. We have known each other for a couple of years, trust me and take out what you have inside.

Jacob: Look Bella ... maybe you all have an easy life but it is not my case. I don't know why I behave like this with all of you, perhaps because they have done me so much damage now I pay with you.

Bella: Like they hurt you? Who?

Jacob: Some neighbors of mine ... make life impossible for me and you know that I have always had a very calm character and above all I have been very quiet and fearful. But since a few weeks ago they started to treat me badly, the anger has flooded me ... I hate to always be the one who takes the problems for being Good.

Bella: I'm so sorry Jacob ... Why didn't you tell me? I could have helped you ...

Jacob: I didn't want you or someone I love to be disturbed too ...

Bella: First of all, you are aware that it is not right how you are treating people right? It doesn't solve anything treating people badly, you're doing what you don't want them to do to you. Starting today, will you change that, okay? And this afternoon when we leave school we will go to your house with some friends of mine and they will defend you so they don't bother you again.

Jacob: I don't think it's a good idea...there will be problems, but I trust you.

Bella: Trust me, everything will be fine. Wait for me at the door downstairs when we leave at 2 p.m.

Jacob: Ok, see you later and thanks for trying to help me ....
