Veronica Sawyer ♡ "Stupid Question"

INT. HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA – DAY

Veronica sits with J.D., trying to break the ice. She fidgets with her lunch tray before blurting something out without thinking.

VERONICA

(stumbling)

So… uh… what’s your damage?

J.D. raises an eyebrow, amused.

J.D.

(smirking)

That’s it? That’s the stupidest question you could come up with?

VERONICA

(defensive, playful)

Well, I was going to ask if you had a brain tumor for breakfast, but I thought that might be… tacky.

J.D. leans back, studying her like she’s more interesting than the rest of the cafeteria combined.

J.D.

(chuckling)

You’ve got a real talent, Veronica. Most girls your age are boring. You, though—your stupid questions are practically existential.

Veronica rolls her eyes, but a shy smile creeps across her face.
