Act II Scene II 'She' approaches Aria back at the bench
at her last period's end with a 'post-it' containing Andy's number written in pen.

Narrator: 'She' did indeed "round the block."
Inside her brain a 'tick tock' not in vain.

'She' not recalling
unlike to be "children, tossed about as by waves
and carried here and there by every wind of teaching

by means of the trickery of men,

by means of cunning in deceptive schemes."

'She' decided Andy hers by any worldly wicked means.

Shyly she broaches Aria with a notion.

She: Hi. Isn't your name Aria?

Aria: Who wants to know? And why? (Cutting curt with a simple smile.)

Narrator: At a young age, Aria learned suspicious to proceed when others, not 'true' friends but strangers wanted to pry.

She: Oh!... It's just that... you know, Andy--the guy with an amazing artistic eye?... Well, he'd be flattered to paint you. He asked me to inquire. Your beauty inspires him to give it a try.

Aria: Didn't I see you both earlier today?... Why didn't he approach, given what you just had to say?

Narrator: 'She' hadn't figured on Aria's lack of vanity just allowing 'She' to maneuver through pride and narcissistic greed.
The need to be stroked on which 'She' herself did feed.

Lowering her head, eyes raised as in secret to utter, 'She' began another lie to mutter.

She: You see, Andy's religion keeps him confined. Manipulates his life, his spirit, his mind. Yet, when he sees you, he wants to revolt.

To throw in the towel. His conscious revoke.

Narrator: With this line of thinking Aria did not agree.
Yet, peaked indeed was her curiosity.

Aria: By-the-way, what is your name? Forgive me my crudeness.
Sometimes my lack of manners brings me shame.

She: Oh, just call me 'Vie'. Maybe we can be the best of friends.
I wouldn't ask. Sometimes I'm extremely shy.

Narrator: Suddenly a high wind almost unhinges Andy's cell number from Aria's hand. With swift action it contained, both girls exit the stage the beginning of a relationship detrimental to remain.

Vie with plan initiated and Aria suitably engaged.
Unbeknown to Andy, who'd be irritated with Vie's conspiracy
to inner rage... TO BE CONT'D.
