INT. JANE'S BEDROOM - DAY Jane, Sam, and Aaron are sitting on Jane's bed, talking and laughing. JANE So, Aaron, have you been seeing anyone lately? AARON Nah, not really. Just focusing on myself and enjoying my own company for now. Why? SAM (smiling mischievously) Jane found something interesting in your trash can, Aaron. JANE (nudging Aaron playfully) Yeah, spill the beans! We found some condom wrappers in there. Care to explain? Aaron's face turns red, clearly flustered. AARON (stammering) Oh, uh... It's not what you think! I... I use them for... for... uh... science experiments! Yeah, science! Sam and Jane exchange puzzled looks, raising their eyebrows. SAM (curiously) Science experiments? I don't think they teach that in school, Aaron. JANE (teasingly) Yeah, Aaron, unless you're conducting some kind of experiment on your own, if you know what I mean. Aaron nervously scratches the back of his head, trying to defend himself. AARON (defensively) Okay, fine! I admit it. It's not for science experiments, but it doesn't mean anything, I swear. Maybe someone left them there, or maybe I bought them as a joke, you know, just for laughs? SAM (teasingly) Mhmm, just for laughs, huh? So you're saying you're all about safe sex practices, even when there's no one in your life? Jane and Sam giggle, clearly having fun at Aaron's expense. JANE (laughing) Aaron, it's okay! You don't have to make up stories. We're just messing with you. You do you, buddy. SAM (nudging Jane) Yeah, seriously. We were just curious, that's all. Aaron sighs with relief, knowing that his secret is safe. AARON (smiling nervously) Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. And just so you know, nobody left them there. They're probably just expired ones or something. They share a laugh, putting the awkward moment behind them, and continue enjoying their time together. FADE OUT.
