Averting a Tragedy

1. Scene I

2. [School night. Curtains open to Cash and Raul’s room. Raul is helping Cash with Algebra.]

3. CASH: [Checking his phone and gasping] Oh no. No. No. No.

4. RAUL: [Puts the books aside] What’s wrong?

5. CASH: Angelle sent me a text, and I think I sent it to Lily instead of Lyla. Lily’s going to spread it like wildfire. It’s all over. I can see the ashes of our friendship. Angelle will hate me now. Why was I so–

6. RAUL: [Gets up] What’s the text?

7. CASH: A picture of her arm. She thinks there’s a weird discoloration, and she wanted Lyla to take a look.

8. RAUL: Lyla is in Doctor Lyla? You never told she was your sister.

9. CASH: Why would I? Everyone in school would ask me to ask her about their skin. I can’t do that. Angelle is my best friend. I couldn’t say no to her. What’s going to happen now?

10. RAUL: Why do you even have Lily’s number?

Quizzma Team · Answer

CASH: I have Lily’s number because we sometimes work together in study groups, and she’s in some of my classes. It’s easy to share contact information when you collaborate on school projects.

Explanation: In school environments, students often exchange numbers to facilitate communication related to homework and group assignments. Cash likely has Lily’s number for this reason, but he regrets sending the text to her by mistake. Miscommunication can lead to unnecessary drama, especially in social situations among friends.
