INT. WILLIAM’S HOME - MORNING
The sun has just risen, William, a boy of seven, is having breakfast with his father, a middle-aged man in his thirties, at the table. The boy picks up a piece of bread, but hesitated to put it in his mouth for a long time, as if he was thinking about something very difficult for him.
DAD
(concerned)
What’s going on? Didn\'t you sleep well last night?
WILLIAM
Hmm...hmm
The boy puts down the bread, thinks for a moment, and then seems to have the decision.
WILLIAM
Dad？How can I break up with someone?
DAD
What\'s happening? You\'re breaking up with your little girlfriend? But haven\'t you guys always been good? I saw you sneaking up to hold her hand last Friday, and she folded you a rose out of worksheets this Wednesday, and...
WILLIAM
(loudly and sharply)
Dad! I don’t like her anymore?
DAD
Ok, but why?
The boy unconsciously pokes the bread on his plate with his fork.
WILLIAM
(in a much lower voice)
She looks like a pizza.
The father pauses for a while, as if he understands something.
DAD
You will say directly to her, if it doesn’t work, you just tell her that you like someone else, she will agree.
INT. CLASSROOM - DUSK
The whiteboard was full of mathematical formulas. The calendar on the wall says today is Monday. This is an ordinary and boring classroom. Half night, finally about to end the class, the teacher\'s voice has lost passion, even the lights are some impetuous, flash with no rule. The students are all talking.
WILLIAM, the little boy, dressed in cool sportswear, writes something on a piece of paper and throws it on the desk of a little girl sitting in front of him. NINA, the girl, is also 7 years old, dressed in school uniform with two pigtails, opens the slip of paper, on which is written \"See you at the secret base after school\". After reading it, the girl smiles mysteriously and strangely and makes an OK gesture backwards.
Finally, the bell rings, all the students rushed out of the classroom like arrows leaving the string. The boy quickly walks up to the girl, knocks on her desk.
WILLIAM
let\'s go
Then he takes the lead to go out. The girl seems completely different from other people\'s eagerness. She does not hurry to pack up her bag, slowly walked out.
EXT. SECRET BASE - DUSK
The secret base is a small slope behind the school building, with a few trees, and it\'s not too dark yet.
When the girl arrives, the boy is already waiting for her. Most of the students have gone home at this time, and they are alone here.
The girl waits for a while, but the boy don\'t speak, so she asks.
NINA
Why do you call me here? I need to go home early today. My mom is waiting for me.
The girl looks straightly to the boy’s eyes.
The boy stalls slightly, then moves his head a little, avoiding to look at the girl\'s eyes.
WILLIAM
Nina, let\'s break up.
The girl’s smile slowly faded.
NINA
Why? Are you kidding me?
The boy hesitates for a while.
WILLIAM
I don\'t like you anymore.
NINA
Why don\'t you like me anymore? Didn\'t you tell me that you would like me until graduation?
The boy slightly fidgets.
WILLIAM
No reason, I just don\'t like you.
NINA
Hum, no way, I will not break up with you.
The girl seems very sad, crying and run away.
The boy looks in the direction of the girl, but makes no attempt to run after her. He seems a little agitated, looks down and kicks the stones on the roadside heavily.
INT. CLASSROOM - NEXT DAY MORNING
During class, most of the students are listening to the teacher carefully. The teacher is focus on his lecture. No one notices the scene happened in the corner of the classroom.
The boy throws a small piece of paper to the girl. The spitball lands right on the girl\'s book in front of her, but the girl does not even open it. The boy keeps throwing and even kicks the girl\'s chair. The girl finally picks up the note, which says, \"Stop be wilful any more, let\'s break up.\"
\"NO,\" the girl scribbles two very large words on the paper and throws it back.
The boy frowns heavily when he sees the words on the paper and tears the paper up.
INT. CLASSROOM - AFTER CLASS
During class recess, the students gather in small groups talking with each other. The classroom is noisy. The boy walks over to the girl with anger.
WILLIAM
(loudly)
What d…
He can\'t help yelling, like there is a volcano in his throat about to explode.
The classroom is suddenly quiet for a moment. Everyone stops talking and looks at the boy.
The boy takes a deep breath and finally pulls his anger back and says in the voice of only two people can hear.
WILLIAM
What do you want? How on earth can you break up with me?
NINA
(peaceful)
Never.
The girl does not even look at him when saying, directly turns her head to the other side, as if the boy does not exist.
But in the place where the boy could not see, the girl looks somewhat compassionate to the boy.
The boy is a little angry and looks annoyed, scribbling viciously with his pen on his workbook.
WILLIAM
(Whispering)
How did I fall in love with her before?
INT. CLASSROOM - DUSK
As soon as school is over, William walks quickly to Nina and tugs her school bag to try to pull her out of the classroom. But what the boy doesn\'t expect is that the girl seems WELL PREPARED and quickly breaks free from the boy\'s grip.
NINA
(sharply)
What are you doing, get off me! I just want to know why you break up with me!
At this time, the majority of students have not gone, after hearing the girl\'s voice they all stops in their tracks, looking over here.
A BOY
(speak in whispers)
Nina and William? Don\'t they always love each other? How can they fight? Seems William wants to dump Nina...
WILLIAM
Listen, I just...
The boy does not want to quarrel in front of the crowd, but when he tries to calm down, he suddenly sees the girl raise a triumphant, mocking smile to him, the boy can not hold back anymore, a day of accumulated fire are all bursting out. He remembers what his father’s saying.
WILLIAM
(desperately and loudly)
OK, fine, I like someone else! She is gentle and beautiful, and not so clingy as you are. Can you give up now?
The girl seems suddenly become very angry. She stares at him fiercely, like she wants to stare a hole through him.
NINA
You are such a poo-poo head! OK，it’s I dumped you，not you dumped me！
Then the girl storms off.
A BOY
(loudly)
I support you!
The original excessively quiet air around suddenly became active again, the students gathered in small groups, from time to time looks strangely to the boy with discussion.
The boy\'s expression is not sad, not angry, but a little relieve.
Not far away, in a corner that the students can not see, the girl walked slowly, her face does not have any trace of the previous sad and angry expression, but looked a little happy.
INT. WILLIAM’S HOME - EVENING
When the boy gets home, he runs to his father at the first time and seems very happy.
WILLIAM
Dad, you are so awesome. I told her that I had another crush like you said, and she agreed to break up with me. And I take back my previous words, she is not only like a pizza, she is now also like a chewing gum, no matter how I shake I can not get rid of her. I am so annoyed to her. I don\'t know how she became like this. Now I am not don’t like her but I hate her.
WILLIAM
But now I\'m free of her.
He runs happily back to his room.
EXT. IN THE HALLWAY OUTSIDE THE GIRL\'S HOUSE - EVENING
The mother, a beautiful woman in her thirties, greets her daughter at the door as she gets off the school bus.
MOM
Then what happened?
The girl runs and jumps happily, does not have any angry or sad appearance.
NINA
Mom, you are so great, I listened to you, and finally succeeded in letting him say break up to me first, and you can not imagine his face.
The girl says and makes a face, giving her mother the boy\'s funny expression.
MOM
You let him admit in front of the whole class that he cheated on you?
NINA
(proudly)
Of course. He was trying to pull me out of the classroom, but he didn\'t expect that I was well prepared for this moment.
NINA
(happily)
He will never bother me again. You know he is such a sissy. Not like Gabe, he is so handsome and manly.
The mother gently touches her daughter\'s head.
INT. NINA’S HOME - EVENING
The mother holds her daughter to the chair, with a towel gently WIPES OFF A FEW SMALL RED ACNE FROM THE DAUGHTER\'S FACE, which is not very obvious, but always can not let a person ignore. Then gently remove the school uniform from her daughter, changes into a beautiful dress.
The “pizza” becomes a princess.
