When Sparks Collide
first encounter
[group chat : college life]
Kyle
hey everyone, what's the plan for the project meeting ?
chris
Same as usual .are we still meeting in the library at 5?
bella
Ugh, Do we have to meet in the library ? It's so boring there
Kyle
Sarcastic may be you find a more productive place to be then
bella
rolls eye says the guy who schedules his life down to the minute
Kyle
Defensive at least I have plan. Not everyone can just wing it
Kyle
Sighs I can’t believe I have to work with her.
chris
Just try to keep it civil, man. It’s only a project
bella
Arrives late Sorry, I got caught up.
Kyle
Mutters Of course you did.
bella
What’s that supposed to mean?
Kyle
Just that you’re always late and never take things seriously.
bella
Crosses arms And you’re always so uptight. Lighten up!
Kyle
Maybe if you cared more about this project, we wouldn’t be in this situation.
bella
Smirking Oh, I care. I just have a different approach.
Kyle
Groans This is going to be a disaster.
bella
Relax Kyle it will be fine
Kyle
Let’s just say, I don’t think we’ll survive this project.
chris
It’s only the first meeting. Give it time!
bella
Joins the chat You’re all acting like we’re doomed.
Kyle
Sighs It’s not looking good, Bella.
bella
Smirking Oh, come on. You’ll learn to love my chaos.
Kyle
Thinking Yeah, right.
A bumpy start
bella
Hey Kyle, can we talk?
Kyle
What now? You’re not going to start yelling at me again, are you?
bella
Ugh, it’s not like I enjoy fighting with you. Can’t we just have a normal conversation for once?
Kyle
Normal? With you? That’s a stretch.
bella
Seriously, Kyle. I’m tired of this back-and-forth. Why do you have to be so difficult?
Kyle
Difficult? I’m just being honest. You’re always so... intense.
bella
: Intense? You mean passionate. There’s a difference.
Kyle
Right. Passionate about getting on my nerves.
bella
Whatever! I wanted to ask you about the group project.
Kyle
Oh, so now you want my help? I thought you had everything under control.
bella
I do, but it wouldn’t hurt to get your input. You’re smart, even if you’re a pain.
Kyle
Smart, huh? I like the sound of that.
bella
Don’t get cocky. Just because I said one nice thing doesn’t mean I’m suddenly your fan
Kyle
Fair enough. So, what do you need from me?
bella
I was thinking we could brainstorm some ideas together. It’ll be better than arguing.
Kyle
That’s a start. But I’ll warn you, my ideas might be a little... unconventional.
bella
Great! I’m ready for anything that’s not boring.
Kyle
So, when do we meet? I don’t want to ruin my weekend for this.
bella
How about tomorrow afternoon? We can meet at the café near school.
Kyle
Fine, but only if you promise not to try to psychoanalyze me.
bella
No promises! But I’ll keep the drama to a minimum.
Kyle
Deal. Just remember, no shouting.
bella
Only if you can keep your sarcasm in check.
chris
Hey, you two! What’s going on?
bella
Chris! Just trying to sort out the group project with Mr. Sunshine here.
Kyle
Mr. Sunshine? More like Mr. Grumpy.
chris
Sounds about right. So, are you two actually working together, or is this just another episode of “Bella vs. Kyle”?
bella
We’re actually trying to be civil for once. Shocking, I know.
Kyle
It’s more like we’re calling a ceasefire. But who knows how long that'll last.
chris
I’ll take that as a challenge. I want to see you both put aside your differences.
bella
No promises. Kyle has a knack for pushing my buttons.
Kyle
And you have a talent for being... you.
chris
You know, you guys should just admit that you enjoy this back-and-forth.
bella
Enjoy? More like endure!
Kyle
Endure is a strong word, but I’ll let it slide this time.
chris
So, what are you planning for the project?
bella
We’re meeting tomorrow at the café to brainstorm.
chris
Nice! I’ll swing by and join you guys. You might need my expert opinion to keep things from getting too intense.
Kyle
Yeah, right. As if you can save us from the chaos.
chris
Watch me. Just don’t start throwing things at each other while I’m there!
Kyle
Sounds like a plan. But if Chris starts playing referee, I’m out.
chris
You’re both impossible. But I’ll see you tomorrow.
bella
Looking forward to it!
Kyle
Same. Just don’t expect me to be nice.
chris
You two are going to be the death of me.
An Unexpected Invite
bella
So, that wasn’t too bad, was it?
Kyle
It could’ve been worse. At least you didn’t try to psychoanalyze me... much.
bella
I tried my best. And hey, the ideas we came up with were solid.
Kyle
Not bad for a team of opposites, I’ll give you that.
bella
Right? Honestly, I didn’t think we’d be able to get along this well. I’m surprised we even agreed on the project theme.
Kyle
I guess caffeine works wonders. That café wasn’t half bad either.
bella
See? You should trust me more often. It doesn’t always have to be a fight.
Kyle
Yeah, yeah. Just don’t get used to me agreeing with you.
bella
Speaking of which, Chris invited us to a party tonight. Are you going?
Kyle
A party? Me? Not really my thing.
bella
Come on, live a little! It'll be fun. Plus, I hear half the school is going.
Kyle
Fine, but only because you’ll owe me one for this.
chris
Glad you guys made it! This place is packed.
Kyle
Yeah, but why does it feel like everyone’s staring?
bella
Ignore them. Let’s just enjoy the night.
Suddenly, a familiar face approaches...
samantha
Well, well. Look who showed up together. Didn’t expect this duo!
bella
We’re just here for fun, Sam. Don’t start anything
samantha
Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it... yet.
