Nathaniel's here

As Maria stepped out of the locker room and back into the gym, she saw Nathaniel with a bouquet.

"Nathaniel? What are you doing here?" asked Maria

"Maria, can I talk to you in private?" asked Nathaniel

Maria led Nathaniel to a private corner of the gym, Jason stepped out of the locker room and saw Ashley and Elliot staring at Maria and Nathaniel in the corner.

"What's going on there?" asked Jason

"I don't know, but I don't like it" said Ashley

Nathaniel handed the bouquet to Maria.

"Listen Maria, I wanted to let you know I'm sorry, I was hoping you could forgive me and maybe give me another chance" said Nathaniel

"Why should I?" asked Maria

"Because I've learned from my mistakes, I know I've been a horrible person" said Nathaniel

"Listen Nathaniel, if you think for one second that I can just act like nothing happened..." said Maria

"Maria, I'm really sorry for that, I wasn't thinking at the time and I made the biggest mistake of my life, I care about you too much" said Nathaniel
