The Encounter
Ming
(Sighs) It's just first day, I am already tired.
Ming
It was okay, I guess. Just trying to get used to everything.
Ming accidentally collides with someone.
Kai
(looks up, annoyed)Watch where you're going next time.
Ming
(mutters under his breath) Sorry...
Rui
OMG, did you see that girl try to approach him?
Ming
(watching Kai walk away)Yeah... I saw.
Rui
I know, right? He's so gorgeous! But what's with the attitude?
Ming
(eyes still fixed on Kai) I have no idea...
Rui
He's the only heir to the Brooks Group. No wonder he thinks he's above everyone else.
Ming
(mind wandering)Those tattoos on his arm... and his eyes...
Rui
Hello, Ming? Earth to Ming?
Ming
(snaps back to reality) Oh, sorry. What were you saying?
Rui
Never mind. You're totally spaced out!
Rui
So, did you talk to anyone interesting today?
Rui
What about that cute guy in our class?
Ming
(shrugs)Didn't really notice him.
Rui
Ming, you're so oblivious!
Ming
(laughs)Hey, I'm just focused on my studies.
Kai
(walks into the cafeteria with Zhi, ignoring everyone)
Rui
Ugh, speak of the devil. Look at him, thinking he's too good for everyone.
Ming
(watches Kai, feeling a flutter in his chest)
Kai
(sits down at a table with Zhi)
zhi
(laughs)Dude, you're such a legend. Ignoring everyone like they're invisible.
Kai
(Smirks) Just keeping it real, Zhi.
Rui
Ugh, look at them. Like they own the place.
Ming
(watches Kai and Zhi, fascinated) Maybe they just like being alone.
Rui
Whatever. I'm going to go grab some food. Want anything?
Ming
(Distracted) No, I'm good.
Rui
Okay, be back in a sec.
Ming
(Accidentally catches Kai's eye, feels a jolt of electricity)
Kai
(looks away, expression unreadable)
zhi
(notices Ming staring at Kai) Yo, Kai, I think you've got an admirer.
Kai
(raises an eyebrow, looks at Ming) Who?
zhi
(nods towards Ming) That guy.
Kai
(Looks at ming) What's wrong with him?
Ming
(feels a rush of adrenaline, quickly looks away_...)
zhi
(Laughs) I don't know, man. Maybe he's just got good taste.
Kai
(Scowls) Shut up, Zhi. I'm not interested.
Rui
(Returns with food) Hey, Ming, what's up?
Ming
(Nervously)Nothing... just spacing out.
Rui
(Notices Kai staring at Ming) Uh-oh, looks like someone's got a crush on you!
Ming
(blushes) Shut up, Rui!
