Episode-4-First day of school

MY SECOND FIRST LOVE

Episode-4

**Scene 1: The School Entrance**

*Noah enters the school, drawing attention from students, especially girls who whisper and steal glances. He spots Julia across the hallway and makes his way over, a charming smile on his face.*

Noah: Hey there, Julia. Fancy seeing you here. Ready for another exciting year?

*Julia blushes slightly, glancing nervously at her friends Justina and Eleanor, who are watching with amused expressions.*

Julia: Uh, yeah, I guess so. How was your summer?

Noah: Oh, you know, the usual. Spent some time traveling with the family. But honestly, running into you here makes this year already more interesting.

*Justina and Eleanor exchange looks, clearly enjoying Julia's flustered reaction.*

Justina: (teasingly) What's going on, Julia? I thought you were all about Drake. Now you're swooning over his brother?

Eleanor: Yeah, spill the beans! We need to update the drama board.

Julia: (defensively) I'm not swooning! Noah and I just... met at the bookstore yesterday. He was looking for a book, and I, um, kind of slipped off a ladder.

Noah: (smirking) And I caught you just in time, didn't I? Lucky for both of us.

*The bell rings, interrupting the conversation as they head to their respective classes.*

**Scene 2: In Class**

*During a break, Justina leans over to Julia, gossiping.*

Justina: So, spill it, Jules. You blushed like crazy back there. Are you sure you're still into Drake?

Julia: (trying to deflect) Of course I am. Noah's just... friendly. It doesn't mean anything.

Justina: Mhm, sure. Friendly with benefits, maybe?

*Julia rolls her eyes, not wanting to entertain the idea.*

**Scene 3: At the Bookstore**

*After school, Julia is back at the bookstore, organizing shelves when Drake walks in.*

Drake: Hey there, Jules! Long day?

Julia: (smiling) Not anymore. What about you? How's your first day back?

Drake: Oh, you know, surviving. But seeing you here definitely brightens things up.

*Julia laughs softly as they chat, Drake playfully making jokes about school and catching up on summer stories.*

Drake: (teasing) You know, Julia, you should smile more often. It suits you.

Julia: (teasing back) Oh really? Should I put that on my to-do list?

Drake: (grinning) Nah, just keep doing what you're doing. It's working for you.

**Scene 4: Dinner Invitation**

*As they finish up work, Drake gestures towards the door.*

Drake: Hungry? I was thinking of grabbing a bite. Care to join me?

Julia: (hesitant) Um, sure. Where are we going?

Drake: There's this new place downtown. I hear they make a killer burger. And hey, it's a perfect chance for us to discuss something important.

Julia: (curious) What's that?

Drake: (smiling mysteriously) You'll see.

**Scene 5: Dinner and a Surprise**

*At the restaurant, they settle into a cozy booth.*

Drake: So, Julia, I've been thinking. You have an amazing voice. Ever thought about joining the music club?

Julia: (hesitant) I... I don't know. I mean, I like singing, but...

Drake: (encouragingly) Come on, Julia. I've heard you sing. You're really good. You could be the star of the club.

*Before Julia can respond, someone announces her name for a karaoke session. She looks at Drake wide-eyed.*

Julia: (surprised) What?! I didn't sign up for this!

Drake: (grinning) Looks like fate wants to hear you sing tonight. Go knock 'em dead, Jules.

*With Drake's encouragement, Julia takes a deep breath and heads to the stage, nerves tingling. She sings beautifully, surprising everyone, including herself.*

**Scene 6: After the Performance**

*Julia returns to the table, flushed with excitement.*

Julia: (breathless) I can't believe I did that. Thank you, Drake.

Drake: (smiling warmly) See? I told you. You're amazing.

*As they chat, Noah happens to pass by the restaurant and sees them laughing together. He freezes, a mix of hurt and confusion clouding his expression. He turns away, walking off into the evening.*
