MY MR. RIGHT

"MIDNIGHT MISCHIEF'S"

IVORY AND LUCA HAD BEEN CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, GROWING UP IN THE SAME BUILDING. WHILE OTHERS LIVED ON DIFFERENT FLOORS AND WINGS, THE TWO OF THEM SHARED THE SAME FLOOR, MAKING THEM INSEPARABLE OVER THE YEARS. MOREOVER, ALL THEIR PARENTS WERE SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNERS,

*THEY WERE IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL*

FL’S POV

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

IT’S ALREADY 9, AND STILL, NO ONE’S HERE. AS USUAL, I’M THE FIRST ONE TO ARRIVE.😩

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

UGH, DUMMY! YOU CAME EARLY AGAIN! I TOLD YOU WE’LL COME TOGETHER!

*FLICKED HER FOREHEAD*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

AHHHH!

*SHE SMACKED HIS SHOULDER*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

I TOTALLY FORGOT! OTHERWISE, I WOULD’VE CALLED YOU, YOU IDIOT!🙄

*THEIR USUAL BANTER WAS IN FULL SWING WHEN ANOTHER VOICE INTERRUPTED THEM.*

GRAYSON FLEMINGTON [ THIRD ML ]

ARE YOU TWO PLANNING TO KILL EACH OTHER TONIGHT? 😑

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

WISH I COULD… 😃🔪

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

CAN YOU EVER BRING YOURSELF TO HARM SOMEONE AS HANDSOME AS ME! 🥺

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

HANDSOME? MY FOOT! IF IT WEREN’T ILLEGAL, I WOULD’VE DEALT WITH YOU AGES AGO. 🙂

AVA RUTHERFORD [ SECOND FL ]

GUYYYYSSS… STOP ALREADY!

NOVA GARFIELD [ THIRD FL ]

LET'S GO FOR A WALK... IT'S THEIR USUAL ROUTINE😑

ETHAN GROVER [ SECOND ML ]

YES.. 🙄

*THEY WENT FOR A WALK NEARBY*

AVA RUTHERFORD [ SECOND FL ]

YO, GUYS! I WAS THINKING… HOW ABOUT WE PLAN A ONE-DAY TRIP? MAYBE AN AMUSEMENT PARK OR A WATER PARK?

ETHAN GROVER [ SECOND ML ]

AN AMUSEMENT PARK SOUNDS LIKE A SOLID PLAN

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

I’M IN. HOW ABOUT THIS SUNDAY? EVERYONE’S GOT A HOLIDAY THAT DAY.

NOVA GARFIELD [ THIRD FL ]

UMM… YEAH, I GUESS I’M FREE THAT DAY. SO… OKAY, LET’S GO ON SUNDAY.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

OMG!!! WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING OUT AFTER FOREVER! [JUMPS IN EXCITEMENT]

NOVA GARFIELD [ THIRD FL ]

YEAHH THAT'S FINALLY HAPPENING 😝

*AFTER FEW MINUTES*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

GUYS… WE’VE BEEN WALKING FOR TWO HOURS. I’M EXHAUSTED. LET’S HEAD BACK 😫

GRAYSON FLEMINGTON [ THIRD ML ]

WE HAVE BEEN WALKING FOR ONLY FOR HALF AN HOUR AND YOUR DRAMA HAS ALREADY STARTED 😑🤦‍♂️

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

I SERIOUSLY CAN’T WALK ANYMORE! CARRY ME🫠

GRAYSON FLEMINGTON [ THIRD ML ]

YEAH, NO. NOT HAPPENING.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[TURNS TO LUCA WITH PUPPY-DOG EYE] LUCA~ CAN YOU CARRY ME? PRETTY PLEASE?🥺

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

[SIGHS, RUBBING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD] UGH… FINE… HOP ON.

*AS SOON AS IVORY JUMPS ONTO LUCA'S BACK, AVA SECRETLY SNAPS A PHOTO AND SENDS IT TO THE GROUP CHAT ( LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A COUPLE HERE ) *

NOVA GARFIELD [ THIRD FL ]

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. LET’S HEAD BACK BEFORE IVORY FALLS ASLEEP ON LUCA’S BACK.

ETHAN GROVER [ SECOND ML ]

WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF SHE ALREADY DID.

*AS THEY ENTERED THEIR BUILDING, LUCA SET IVORY DOWN.*

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

THERE. SAFE AND SOUND, MILADY

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

WOW, CARRYING ME MADE YOU THIS DRAMATIC? SHOULD I START CALLING YOU MY PRINCE CHARMING NOW?

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

I WON’T MIND

*THEY ALL SAID GOODBYES TO EACH OTHER AND WENT HOME*

*ON THE GROUP CHAT AT NIGHT*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

"A Normal Morning… Until She Drops a Bomb!"

*THE NEXT DAY – 5 A.M, EARLY MORNING*

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

IT'S ALREADY MORNING, AND I BET IVORY STILL HASN’T WOKEN UP. LET ME CALL HER.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

WHO THE HELL IS CALLING ME AT THIS UNGODLY HOUR?!

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

WAKE UP, DUMMY! WE’RE GONNA BE LATE FOR THE GYM.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

UGH, YOU JUST RUINED MY SLEEP. I WAS HAVING SUCH A GOOD DREAM

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

HURRY UP, OR I’M LEAVING WITHOUT YOU.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

UGH, FINE! I’M COMING!

*AFTER 30 MINUTES*

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

IT'S ALREADY LATE, AND YOU'RE WALKING SO SLOWLY!

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

RELAX, MAN. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GONNA DROP DEAD JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN’T REACH EXACTLY AT 5.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

YOU REALLY NEED TO LEARN THE VALUE OF TIME, DUMMY..

*MESSING UP HER HAIR*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

STOP MESSING MY HAIR😡

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

I WILL😜

*ALL THE WAY TO THE GYM THEY KEPT MESSING UP EACH OTHER'S HAIR*

*AFTER GYM*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

UGH, LEG DAY KILLED ME... I CAN BARELY WALK.😫

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

SAME HERE… I CAN’T WALK EITHER. HOW ABOUT YOU CARRY ME?

*LEANING ON HER SHOULDER, PUTTING ALL HIS WEIGHTS ON HER*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

GET LOST [SHOVES HIM AWAY]

*HE KEPT TEASING HER ALL THE WAY*

*AS SOON AS HE ENTERED THE BUILDING*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

I’M STARVING… AND NOW I HAVE TO COOK MY OWN BREAKFAST?

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

JUST COME OVER. I’M HOME ALONE TOO—I’LL MAKE US BOTH BREAKFAST.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

WOW, A GENTLEMAN FOR ONCE! YOU’RE A TOTAL LIFESAVER!

*AT LUCA'S PLACE*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

WOW, THIS FOOD IS AMAZING! FROM NOW ON, YOU’RE IN CHARGE OF COOKING FOR ME EVERY DAY!

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

AS YOU SAY MILADY!!

*HE BOWED SLIGHTLY, TOOK HER HAND, AND PRESSED A SOFT KISS ON IT. IVORY’S CHEEKS REDDENED, BUT SHE QUICKLY LOOKED AWAY, ACTING UNAFFECTED.*

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

OH? YOUR FACE IS RED… DON’T TELL ME YOU’RE BLUSHING?

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

TCH… IT’S JUST THE HEAT FROM THE STOVE, IDIOT.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

SURE, SURE.NOW GO SIT, I’LL BRING THE FOOD.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[MUTTERS TO HERSELF] UGH… WHY WAS I EVEN BLUSHING? IT WAS JUST A KISS ON THE HAND… NOT A BIG DEAL

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

WHAT ARE YOU MUMBLING ABOUT, DUMMY?

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[JOLTS UP] NOTHING! JUST HURRY UP WITH THE FOOD!

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

YEAH, YEAH… SURE, TOTALLY NOT BLUSHING OR ANYTHING.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[THROWS A CUSHION AT HIM] SHUT UP!

*5 MINUTES LATER*

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

THANK YOU, MY LIFESAVER! YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO WIN A GIRL’S HEART WITH FOOD.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

OH, DON’T GET TOO COMFORTABLE. YOU’RE WASHING THE DISHES AFTER THIS.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

I KNEW YOU WEREN’T BEING NICE FOR NOTHING. BUT FINE, I’LL DO IT… JUST THIS ONCE.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

I HAVE A DATE WITH MY CRUSH😍

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

A WHAT?!

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

OH, I MUST HAVE FORGOTEN

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

EXCUSE ME? SINCE WHEN DO YOU CONTROL MY LIFE?

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

I—I’M JUST SAYING! GUYS THESE DAYS ARE… SHADY! WHAT IF HE BREAKS YOUR HEART? OR—OR TAKES ADVANTAGE OF YOU?!

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

HE’S NOT LIKE THAT, AND I CAN HANDLE MYSELF. NOW, LET ME GET READY.

*AFTER EATING, SHE WASHED HER DISHES AND WENT HOME WITH EXCITEMENT*

ML POV

[I AM GONNA FOLLOW HER...I’M NOT JEALOUS. I’M JUST MAKING SURE SHE’S SAFE. YEAH, THAT’S IT.]🫣

"Not Jealous… Just Protective?"

*AT CAFE*

IVORY SAT ACROSS FROM JADE, LAUGHING AT HIS JOKES, LOOKING HAPPIER THAN EVER. LUCA WATCHED FROM A DISTANCE, HIS JAW CLENCHED. WITHOUT THINKING TWICE, HE WALKED STRAIGHT TO THEIR TABLE.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

YO, IVORY! WHAT A SURPRISE! OH, AND WHO’S THIS GUY?

*FAKE SMILE, SITS DOWN WITHOUT ASKING*

JADE

[EXTENDS HAND] I’M JADE! NICE TO MEET YOU.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

[SHAKES HAND, GRIPPING TIGHTLY] NICE TO MEET YOU TOO…

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[WHISPERS ANGRILY] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GO AWAY!

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

JUST MAKING SURE YOUR DATE ISN’T A RED FLAG.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

I SWEAR, LUCA—

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

[IGNORES HER ] SO, JADE, TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GIRL?

JADE

UH, SOMEONE WHO'S CHILL, DOESN'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS, AND ISN'T HIGH-MAINTAINENANCE

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

SO, YOU WOULDN'T MIND IF SHE'S NOT REALLY INTO TALKING ABOUT HER FEELINGS OR NEEDS, RIGHT?

JADE

EXACTLY, I MEAN WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT?

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[GOES PALE] ....WHAT

*LUCA DIDN’T WAIT FOR HER TO REACT. HE TOOK HER HAND AND PULLED HER UP*

JADE

HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

OH, DIDN’T I MENTION? SHE’S MY GIRLFRIEND. WE HAD A LITTLE FIGHT, SO SHE CAME HERE TO MAKE ME JEALOUS.

JADE

WAIT, WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! [EYES NARROW, VOICE FULL OF DISGUST] UGH, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. I KNEW YOU WERE JUST A BIT*H.

*GRABS HIS COLLAR*

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

SAY THAT AGAIN, AND I SWEAR I’LL BREAK YOUR FACE.

*IVORY QUICKLY PULLED LUCA AWAY BEFORE HE COULD DO ANYTHING RECKLESS AND WENT HOME*
