Crush On You
The first Day
Sarah enters her new high school. A classroom full of unknown faces. Nervously sits beside a girl.
Anna
Hi, I'm Anna. Nice to meet you.
Sarah
Nice to meet you too. I'm quite nervous about the first day.
Anna
Yeah, me too. Honestly I wasn't sure anyone would sit beside me. So I got so nervous when I first came here. It's so weird with all these unknown faces.
Sarah thinks she's quite the talkative one.
Anna
Anyway, I think the class is starting. It's Business Studies I think?
Anna
Wow you came prepared. Well, me too. I have all these rulers and highlighters. Let me know if you want to share anything.
Sarah
Yeah sure. Although I only have a notebook, a pen, and a few books.
The class begins. Sarah isn't able to look at any faces because she's anxious.
All the classes go by and Sarah could only nod to the things Anna said.
Finally it was time to go home.
Anna
Hey do you wanna walk home together?
Sarah
Sorry, I take the bus.
Anna
Oh no. Okay then. I'll see you tomorrow!
Sarah puts on her headphones and takes the bus. She's dreading the next day and she's finding it hard to socialise. She can't even look at anyone's faces.
Him
2nd day and Sarah still fails to look at anyone.
Anna
Listen there's a new restaurant opening near my house. Do you wanna try the dumplings there?
Sarah can never say no to dumplings. It's her favourite food.
exhausted she lies her head on the desk.
Kite
hey! Abigail what are you doing?
Kite snatches Abigail's phone and teases him.
everyone is shouting and teasing him.
Sarah
ugh what's going on?
Sarah looks on her right and her eyes meets Abigail's
Abigail
please give me my phone back
Anna
Hey look at this meme. It's so funny.
Sarah
*distracted* yeah it sure is.
Anna
why are you so flushed?
Sarah
yeah yeah I'm fine. Just a bit
Sarah
*whispers* distracted
Sarah looks to her right again and Abigail is looking at her.
immediately she looks to the front with a flushed face.
Kite
the share market's down again
All the noise fades in the background and Sarah is too conscious of his presence now.
All the classes go by and she keeps feeling a certain magnetic attraction to Abigail.
Sarah
*hurriedly* Let's go Anna. I need to get home too after we eat.
Anna
Oh yeah sure sure. Let's leave.
on the way
Anna
So you know this guy in our class Kite. He's a funny one.
Anna

Kite and Abigail walk from behind.
Anna
Oh Hi. I was just talking about you.
Anna

Kite and Anna start walking together and chatting.
Abigail and Sarah are just behind. Awkwardly.
sarah to herself: what should I say? God it's awkward.
Anna
Oh sorry do I need to introduce you guys?
Anna

Sarah

Kite

Abigail
Come on I'm getting late. Let's go.
Anna

Anna

Kite
