JASMINE (CONT'D)
Hey Kobe...you wanna tell me
what happened between you and Jace
yesterday?
Kobe stands with a mad face
JASMINE (CONT'D)
Did you get into a fight yesterday?
Kobe nods his head "yes"
JASMINE (CONT'D)
And why did you get into a fight
yesterday Kobe?
KOBE
He called me stupid,and then he pushed me
And my mama said dont let nobody push me.
JASMINE
Fighting isn't the answer okay,
even when someone says mean things.
What could you have done instead?
KOBE
Told a teacher? But she wasn’t gone do
Nothing.
JASMINE
I can assure you if you had told
The teacher she would have stopped him.
Sometimes walking away
takes more courage than fighting.
Kobe nods. She ruffles his hair as he leaves.
JASMINE (CONT'D)
And Kobe? You're braver than you
think.
