Something Is Missing
1
Qiaolian
What is it?...Who is it?
Mei Mei points to a boy who is standing alone.
Mei Mei
I think it's a friend from when I was younger...I don't know! I need to get closer so I can see him.
Someone rushes up beside them.
Mei Mei
If I remember correctly, An Zhen doesn't like speaking to strangers.
Try speaking to him at lunch time in the cafeteria.
Yu Li
How do you know so much about him?
Mei Mei
We used to be neighbours, but I moved away.
We used to do everything together.
Qiaolian
So how do you want to approach him at lunchtime?
Mei Mei
I guess..I'll just walk up to him and say hi?
Qiaolian
What if he doesn't remember you?
Mei Mei
...He has to.. I need to speak to him.
Yu Li
Less talking, more eating let's get to the cafeteria already!
Qiaolian pushes him lightly
Qiaolian
You glutton! You have to approach him first!
Qiaolian
You're in the same class so he'll recognize you!
Mei Mei
Then you can introduce me!
Mei Mei throws a leaf down his neck.

In the cafeteria Mei Mei and Qiaolian sits down and Yu Li walks over to An Zhen
Yu Li
Hey, you're in the same class as me, right?
Yu Li
You're new..you just moved here?
Yu Li
Do you want me to show you around? I know some people..
Mei Mei and Qiaolian walk up
Mei Mei
Yu Li there you are!
Qiaolian
Tell us what you want for lunch we'll treat you.
He looks at Yu Li and walks away
Yu Li
Hey! why did you do that he was getting to know me!?
Mei Mei
Sorry! I just couldn't wait, I just want to talk to him so much, it's been so long.
Qiaolian pats her on the back
Qiaolian
Don't worry there will be more opportunities in the future.
She spies An Zhen walking out of the cafeteria and stands up
Mei Mei
I'll try myself now, I know what he's like.
Mei Mei
He's more quiet now, and pushes people off, but he can't push me off!
She runs towards the door and goes out
Yu Li stares at her then turns
Yu Li
Can I still have free lunch?

Mei Mei chases after An Zhen
Mei Mei
An Zhen, An Zhen.. It's me Mei Mei!
An Zhen stops walking but doesn't look behind.
An Zhen
I never knew someone called Mei Mei.
An Zhen
Please excuse me I have work to do.
He starts walking again but Mei Mei runs up to him.
Mei Mei
An Zhen, don't do this please.
Mei Mei
I don't know what has happened, and you don't need to tell me.
Mei Mei
Just don't ignore me
An Zhen stops and turns around
An Zhen
What do you want from me.
Mei Mei
I..we...We used to be neighbours, we did everything together!
An Zhen
That was a long time ago Mei Mei.
An Zhen
I'm sorry I have to go.
He walks away and Mei Mei stares
Qiaolian
I turned around for a minute then when I looked back Yu Li was gone, can you help me find him?
Qiaolian
He owes me lunch and he's run off without paying, now I have to pay.
Mei Mei
Come on! I'll help you find him.
They run off and don't notice An Zhen watching them from a distance.
