Isa : omg, Amy! Have you heard about the school festival today?
Amy : yeah! I've been hearing about it all week. I'm so excited!
Isa : me too! I heard there's going to be a concert, game booths, and even a food festival.
Amy : that sounds amazing! We have to try all the food.
Isa : definitely. I'm so down for that.
(As they walk to their locker, Isa notices Kai standing by the school entrance, looking handsome in his casual clothes.)
Isa : (nervously) oh, look. It's Kai.
Amy : (teasingly) oh, Isa's crush is here!
Isa : (laughing) shut up, Amy!
(Kai notices Isa and Amy and walks over to them.)
Kai : hey, girls! What's up?
Isa : (nervously) hey Kai... just getting ready for the festival.
Kai : yeah, me too! I heard the concert is going to be amazing.
Amy : (excitedly) yeah! I love the band that's performing.
Kai : (smiling) me too! We should all go together.
Isa : (surprised) really? You want to go with us?
Kai : (laughing) yeah, why not? It'll be fun!
(Isa's heart skips a beat as she processes Kai's invitation. She can't believe he wants to spend time with her and Amy.)
Isa : (smiling) okay, that sounds like a plan.
Amy : (excitedly) yay! Let's go!
(The three of them walk together towards the festival area, chatting and laughing. Isa can't help but feel happy and excited with Kai by her side.)
(Later that day, they're all at the concert, dancing and singing along to the music. Isa gets caught up in the excitement and accidentally trips on her own feet.)
Isa : (mortified) oh no...
(Isa falls forward, and her hands instinctively reach out to break her fall. She feels a hard chest beneath her palms, and her heart skips a beat as she realizes it's Kai.)
Kai : (concerned) Isa, are you okay?
(Isa's face is inches from Kai's, and she feels like time has stopped. The music around her fades into the background, and all she can hear is Kai's gentle voice.)
Isa : (breathlessly) y-yeah... I'm fine.
(Suddenly, everything around her seems to melt away. The music is barely audible, and the stars in the sky seem to be shining down on them. Isa feels like she's floating on air, and the only thing that's keeping her grounded is Kai's chest beneath her hands.)
Isa : (to herself) what's happening? Why does it feel like... like everything has stopped, and it's just us?
(Isa's eyes meet Kai's, and she feels a jolt of electricity run through her body. She can't look away, and Kai's gaze holds hers captive.)
Kai : (softly) Isa, you can get up now. I've got you.
(Isa slowly comes back to reality, feeling a flush rise to her cheeks. She quickly scrambles to her feet, still feeling dazed and confused.)
Isa : (nervously) s-sorry about that...
Kai : (smiling) no need to apologize. I'm just glad you're okay.
(Isa can't meet Kai's eyes, feeling embarrassed and shy. But as she glances up at him, she catches a glimpse of something in his eyes that makes her heart skip a beat.)
