MRS. IOANNA
But I have something important to tell you my little kid.

MRS. IOANNA
It’s not the best news for you right now…

KALLISTO
Oh my gosh… then I don’t want to hear it. Everything is perfect I don’t want anything to ruin this day.

KALLISTO (VO)
Why did you have to leave me like that? Why couldn’t you wait few more years? Why didn’t seek me? Is it all my fault? Should I blame myself?
(wipes off her tears)
I really wish I could see you now. I wish you were here beside me.
(smiles through her tears)
But you know there is actually a good side to this. I got to meet my real grandmother and the boy that I love. Oh by the way his name is Doros Jasper. We go to the same school, but we never knew each other.

Dear Kallisto,

I heard what happened between you and Doros. He is just that kind of guy. Anyways the reason why I wanted to send you this letter is because you left so sudden and we couldn’t even talk the things over with you. I will make it short. I just really want to see you again.
Love your
Granny♥

P.S. Don’t worry about you and Doros. I hope that you enjoyed your two weeks in Kastoria. I know your journey was tough, but remember no matter how hard your journey is the results are worth it.

She puts the letter back into the envelope with tears coming out of her eyes. She gets dressed to go to school and mumbling a song to herself.

“You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day.”

At school.

She sits in a math class. And the announcement goes on and she hears Doros’s voice.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Kallisto Naomi please come to the back of the school. Right now! Please come to back of the school.

TEACHER
Well go if you it is really important for you.

She runs off form the classroom. Everyone in the class goes

In the hallway there are tons of balloons. When she exits the school building she runs behind the building and sees Doros standing there with a huge bouquet of tulips, her favorite flowers.

DOROS
Hey!

KALISTO
Hey there.

DOROS
Um… I’m really sorry about what happened in Kastoria. I didn’t want to kiss her. She like jumped on me like a lion on a piece of meat.

Kallisto smiles and Doros is happy to see that smile again on her face.

DOROS
So do you forgive me?

Well let me see.

They walk slowly toward each other. When they are close enough Doros hugs Kallisto

DOROS
I love you.

KALLISTO
Well prove it.

They kiss and the music turns on.

And then we kiss
Your love comes alive on my lips
I feel a rush Coming over me, over me
And when we touch
This moment when everything's still
I close my eyes And then we kiss
